MAKING SCHOOL SEEM IMPORTANT Edveators remark that one of the principal difficulties in inciting children and young people to do good school work, is that*many of them do not think the subjects they are taking up are im- portant. If they are asked, for instance, to study about the early history of the. United States, they can not see how that does them any good. They say those times were wholly different ‘from: ours, and what good does it do them, when they take a job in a factory or store, to know the date when Columbus discovered America, or what.. battles were fought in the Revolutionary war? It is the job of a teacher, and a very difficult one, to make these young people see that these | things, and a thousand like them, are important to them, even though they can’t see how they can sell | wily more goods over a counter, or put material though a machine any faster, bécause they know these things. if students feel it is important to acquire knowledge, they will do twice as much work. Perhaps they could be appealed to in terms They might be-asked how they would feel at a ball game, if some man came on the grounds who had never seen a game, and | of their own experience. who began to ask all sorts of foolish questions as to what the players were trying to do and why | they ran bases and why they struck at that little ball. They would look at such a-fellow as a green- horn, and would not want to talk with him except to make fun of him, So when they show ignorance of the things in | which intelligent people are interésted, they like- wise are set down as greén-horns in the game of knowledge and community- development. . Likewise their comrades have moved on, andthe world has no use for péople who are mentally ; asleep. ‘ WELCOME TO NEW STARS In view of the Benerdi-impression that undue jealousy exists among musical artists, the kind con- sideration shown to three youngwAmerican singers _| by the older members of the Metropolitan Opera 4 Company during the past season is worthy of note. Marion Talley, Mary Lewis.and Dorothea Flexner are the trio of new operatic stars, whose | initial appearances before the world’s most exaet- | ing audience were cheered by the European vet- | erans, both men and women. ‘The feelings of fhe young singers were ‘eapiressed if récent interviews. | “Everyone in the company has: been perfectly lovely. to me,” said Marion Talley. © “Just” before I went on in Rigoletto, several of | the artists came to my dressing room and said the ‘little things that mean so nifuch when a test has to be met.” The others spoke in a similar vein of the kind and help- ful attitude of the foreign stars, whose viewpoint was given by the famed = donna, Lucrezia Bori, who said: “T am god: to see the entrance of Americans into the company, not only on account of the: per- sofial reward it may mean for them, but for the ‘encouragement it will give other American singers | and the development of music in. this country.” The only discouragemeré given the newcomers | was “some comment by a few smart New York erities, who, if they themselves could sing, would not be critics.
