CHILD’S MUSIC HATRED LAID TO PARENT OR TEACHER

Let Student Choose Path, Says Pianist BY JULIA BLAN3HARD NEA Servlet Writer NEW YORK, Jan. 22.--“ All children naturally like music. It usually is the parents’ or the teachers’ fault If a child doesn’t enjoy learning to play some musical instrument.” This is the broadside issued by Isidor Gorn, eminent pianist, who has had phenomenal success with his pupils. “Any child who never has had any unpleasant association with music willingly will learn to play something or other,” Gorn insists. “The child who gives up his cornet, piano or violin usually could lay the blame right at the feet of cither his parents or teacher.” Too long stretches of practice, too much driving, too severe criticism for mistakes, punishment for failure to practice—these are four of the cardinal sins of adults who do not really understand children and music. Child Finds Own Mistakes “It is how a child practices, and not how long, that counts,” Mr. Gorn insists. “The mistakes he makes are nothing compared to whether or not he has learned to listen to himself play. Therefore, never stress the mistakes. They will correct themselves when the child listens and hears that something is wrong.” Just how Gorn gets his pupils to practice is interesting. “Each child presents an individual problem,’ he said. “But there are three underlying principles that always work. “First, establish a strong relationship between teacher and pupil, a pcrsdhal relationship. No child can or will learn from a teacher he fears or does not like. Encourage Competition “Second, encourage competition. I will illustrate this point by an 11-year-old millionairess I once , taught. She was spoiled, had a bad temper and simply wouldn’t practice. I found that she loved golf. So I worked out the application of golf rules to her exercises. Her eighteen times to practice were the eighteen holes. The scheme caught her imagination and she played the game valiantly, trying to lessen her score of errors each one of the eighteen rounds. She soon became an enthusiastic practicer. “Third, set a special time for practicing. Few children under 12 can do a straight hour at a time without fatigue. I suggest a half hour before school and a half hour after it. “Some children have to have quarter hour periods. It all depends on their power of endurance and their nervous condition.” Began at Age of 4 Gorn began playing at 4. Some children, he believes, could learn a few exercises at the age of 2. No child should be set down and told to learn the piano. He should be allowed to pick his own instrument. Gorn’s brother never would touch the piano, though given every opportunity. At 14 he suddenly asked for a cornet. Now he’s an expert. The ideal home, according to Gorn, would be the one where a child heard the best music, where the tradition encouraged everybody to have some musical expression and then left each youngster alone to pick his own instrument. No adult ever should impress upon a child the importance of becoming a professional musician. If the child learns to play for his own enjoyment, even if he never becomes a world-wonder, he will have a most valuable outlet for his emotions and his artistic temperament. Music should be learned for music’s sake, not to realize a family ambition. Mrs . Hogan Hostess Mrs. Hugh Hogan, 849 North Rural street, will be hostess for a . social meeting of the Gamma chapter, Omega Nu Tau sorority Monday night. Active and inactive members are invited, and are asked to make reservations by Sunday. Three Initiated New members of Alpha chapter. Phi Theta Delta sorority, are Misses Virginia Byrd, Norma Laribee and Margaret Ronk. Initiation services were held last week.

Daily Recipe ROAST STUFFED CURED SHOULDER Have a cured pork shoulder skinned and boned. Wash the shoulder and soak it overnight in cold water. On removing the piece from the water wipe it dry. Lay the shoulder fat side down, pile in some of the hot stuffing, begin to sew the edges of the shoulder together to form a pocket, and gradually work in the rest of the stuffing. For the stuffing mix 1 cup of brown sugar and 3 cups of fine soft bread crumbs, 1 teaspoon of prepared mustard and just enough vinegar to moisten. Add 1 teaspoon of ground cloves and 2 teaspoons of cinnamon. Lay the stuffed shoulder, fat side up, on a rack in an open roasting pan without water. Roast the meat at very moderate heat until It is tender when pierced with a sweker or a fork. A 4 to 5pound picnic shoulder will require about three and one-half hours to cook at this oven temperature.

Mrs. Marshall Clark of New York, formerly Miss Virginia Keep of Indianapolis, is a neice of the late Cornelius Bliss, who was secretary of the interior in McKinley’s cabinet. Through the help of Mrs. Clark, and of Mrs. Cornelius Sullivan, also a former resident of Indianapolis, the display was secured for the Herron Institute.

IF you want Jane Jordan’s opinion on your problems, write your letter today and you will see your answer in this column within the next few days. The following letter is for J. N., ■who refused the improper advances of a boy, but forgave him. It is written by Worried Me, whose girl accepted his advances and thereby lost his respect. Dear J. N.—l think you did a wonderful thing. When he said: "I love you 100 much to see you any more, because I'm afraid this might happen again.” he really didn’t love you. believe me! That was only a ruse after the failure of his first attempt. You’ve stood the acid *est of your life. So J. N., I offer my congratulations. WORRIED ME. P. S., for Jane Jordan—My ex-girl friend (the one who lost his respect* told all her friends and it cot home to the mother of my new gin friend (a good girl). So I lost the new girl. I’m 19 years old and work in one of the largest bakeries in Indiana. I make eood money and have anew car. I’d like to get married; so I’m starting to live a clean life. WORRIED ME. Dear Worried Me—Good for you. I’m glad you were burned while you are young enough to get over it early. There are plenty of girls who won’t worry about what the kiss-and-tell girl has to expose.

The number of visitors to come to Indianapolis compares favorably with the 32,000 who visited the collection while it was on display in New York. Mrs. Sullivan, who will be in Indianapolis Sunday, as the guest of her brother, John Quinn, West Fiftieth street, was, with Mrs. John D. Rockefeller Jr. and Miss Lizzie Bliss, one of the organizers of the Modem Museum in New York. Miss Bliss was a daughter of Cornelius N. Bliss, secretary of the Interior under McKinley.

thing to b proud of In them. I would bke to teu Troubled Sister not to get discoursed About the conduct of her little sister, I had trouble with one of my girls and I won out. in time. A; to whether a voung girl should confess her misfortune to a man, I say: Let the past buy its dead." I had an experience before I got married. I fell once, but never again. I lived with my husband nearly twenty years and never revealed my secret to him. But I sure walked straight! Girls, take warning from a grayhaired mother! When boys want you for some things, they seldom want you for a wife! I say the youth of today are better and can hold men down better than they did twenty-five or thirtv years ago. A MOTHER AND GRANDMOTHER WHO HAD EXPERIENCE. Dear Mother and Grandmother— Thank you for your letter. It’s an excellent argument in favor of silent repentence. * * m Dear Jane Jordan—At the age of 20, I married a man twenty years my senior. He was very likeable and when he fell in love with me I asked advice from older people and they urged me to marry him, although I did not love him and he knew it. Now we’ve been married twenty-one years and if those people knew the bitter hours I’ve gone through, I wonder what they would sav; He was far beneath me in morals, iaeals. and he had an insane temper. I’ve stuck with him and helped him to become a better man. I’ve had mv bitter temptations along with everything else. To girls I would say. demand cleanliness and do not marry men much older than yourself. It isnt satisfactory. A WOUNDED HEART. Dear Wounded Heart—And if you had it all to do over again, wouldn’t you divorced him? Is there any good reason why your life should have been made a sacrifice to his? u n Dear Jane Jordan —I like a certain girl pretty well, but she goes with another fellow. She always treats me well enough, but I never have had a date with her. She thinks a good deal of her other boy friend. But still I think she likes me a little better. Would it be proper for me to ask her for a date as long as she goes with her other friend? JOSE. Dear Jose Why not? Young people ought to mingle with each other freely and not pair off while they are too young to know their own minds. A regular caller has no option on a young lady’s time!
