TEACHERS' AGENCY W Rolls and Discs By LAWRENCE JACOB ABBOTT ILL musical taste change un der the influence of the phonograph? If it does, it should be a change for the better. Many compositions, we wager, now tolerated because they are heard only at occasional concerts will-if obtained in record form-be struggled through a few times and then quietly stored in the attic. And others will win more of the appreciation they deserve. Phonograph Records MARCHE SLAVE (Tchaikowsky). Played by the Two things are particularly worth Mengelberg's orchestra gives an inThe Pratt Teachers Agency spirited but not too subtle performance 70 Fifth Avenue, New York Recommends teachers to colleges, public and private schools. SCHOOLS STAMMERING If the stammerer can talk with ease when alone, and most of them can, but stammers in the presence of others, it must be that in the presence of others he does something that interferes; and if we know what it is that interferes, and the stammerer be taught how to avoid that, it cannot but be that he is getting rid of the thing that makes him stammer. That's the philosophy of our method of cure. Let us tell you about it. SCHOOL FOR STAMMERERS, Tyler, Texas THE DIVINITY SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO In co-operation with the Chicago Theological Seminary The University of Chicago sustained effects of strength, with rich, double-stopped chords. The recording itself is clear and faithful, reproducing the growling lower notes of the 'cello and the breathless softness with which the third movement begins. SCOTCH STRATHSPEY AND REEL (Grainger). Performed by the Grainger Singers and Players, conducted by Frank Kasschau. Something wholly different-and wholly irresistible. It is the Scotch equivalent of gypsy music or the war dances of the American Indians, and is replete with musical freshness. That, of course, is what we should expect from a Grainger setting. TO A WILD ROSE; TO A WATER LILY-from Two short MacDowell pianoforte pieces are here arranged for full symphony orchestra. Arrangement and rendition alike are excellent. Frederick Stock, in doing both, exhibits rare tonal LIEBESTRÄUM (Liszt); NAYLA-Waltz (Delibes- PRELUDE (Mana-Zucca); WALTZ IN E MINOR (Chopin). Played by Master Shura Cherkassky. Victor. If the "Liebesträum" were not played so frequently at the "movies," we would perhaps be a less unsympathetic listener. Its sentimentalism is too apparent. "Naïla" is a pleasant concert waltz, but not particularly worth recording. And although Bachaus plays like the master pianist he is, the recording is only fair. In fact, Master Cherkassky gives us a more interesting musical dish. Immature in years, he manages to hide the fact quite well in his technique, poise, and mastery of expression. His piano sounds brilliantly crisp. While admitting that no piano records are so faithful to the instrument that any one could be attack of the strings in a symphony tually playing in the next room (which fooled into thinking a piano were ac of a not too subtle piece. The martial orchestra. QUARTET IN G MINOR-Opus 10, First and It is pleasurable to find a Debussy can be said of some records), we will assert that a record such as this of Cherkassky's does give an illusion of the character and quality of a grand piano. In writing to the above advertisers please mention The Outlook The pleasure, the keen joy that you derive from an outing in your launch is largely dependent upon your power plant-upon the absence of any little annoying troubles, and the smoothness and evenness of its operation. On the above basis you will find a Kermath Marine Motor the most constant and reliable companion that you can have with you on your tripswhether they be short pleasure trips or fishing and hunting trips of many days' duration. For small or medium size launches the 1 and 2 Cylinder Kermaths of from 3 to 10 H. P. are ideal. Their economy of operation is phenomenal, while allaround upkeep costs are amazingly low. Write us for full details Paul Robeson's voice is like a beautiful, mellow instrument through which he injects his warm personality. Lawrence Brown's accompaniments are very simple-and perfect. CARMEN FANTASY (Bizet-Sarasate). Played by Bronislaw Huberman. In two parts, on one record. Brunswick. A pot-pourri of "Carmen." It is good light music, but most of it is more interesting for its effective treatment of the violin than for the music itself. We like the rich viola-like quality of Huberman's low notes and the flute-like clearness of the very high register. WALTZ IN G FLAT-Opus 70, No. 1 (ChopinSpalding); PERSIAN SONG (Glinka-Zimbalist). Played by Efrem Zimbalist. Victor. In transcription for the violin, Chopin's waltz requires deft technique. It is gay and iridescent, interrupted by a slow, melodious theme which offers opportunity for double-stopped passages. The "Persian Song" is a simple piece, later embellished in a true violinistic manner. Piano Rolls SUITE BERGAMASQUE-Prelude and Menuet (Debussy). Played by E. Robert Schmitz. On two rolls. Ampico. Music from the fertile imagination of Debussy-played with zestful imagination. The two recordings are both delightful. The composer is no more modern than Bach, which means as modern as anybody, without being unpleasantly so! VARIATIONS SÉRIEUSES (Mendelssohn). Played by Alfred Cortot. Ampico. Mendelssohn must not be judged wholly on his youthful and spontaneous music of the vintage of his "MidsummerNight's Dream." The "Variations Sérieuses" show greater maturity. Although they may not have that priceless ingredient which sets the very greatest in music apart from the rest, they are the work of a thorough musician, and are full of musical interest in their weaving of a simple theme into new patterns and new moods. Much of the beauty of the piece lies in its performance by Cortot. WEDDING MARCH AND ELFIN CHORUS from "A Midsummer-Night's Dream" (Mendelssohn). Played by Wilhelm Bachaus. Duo-Art. It is interesting to hear such pieces as Mendelssohn's "Wedding March," Schumann's "Träumerei," and Bach's "Air for G String" in their original setting, for they are too often heard apart from it. Liszt's transcription runs true to form in its power and sweep. The delicate elfin chorus music is played with dainty precision. RHAPSODY IN BLUE-Theme in E Major (Gershwin). Played by Adam Carroll. Ampico. Gershwin's rhapsody is still worth listening to. Carroll presents only part of the work, attempting to give it unity by revision, but the composition as written is more to our liking. John Davey, Father of Tree Surgery, who not only gave the world a new science but also a new philosophy 1926 is the Silver Jubilee Year of Davey Tree Surgeons 3000 people gathered in the State Armory at Akron (12 miles from Kent) on March 6, to participate in a great Silver Jubilee Celebration of The Davey Tree Expert Company-all for the purpose of paying a fitting tribute to John Davey, Father of Tree Surgery, who made a magnificent contribution to civilization. 25 years ago John Davey brought forth his first book, "The Tree Doctor," that was intended to awaken America to the appalling neglect and abuse of her invaluable trees. It was not his original purpose to found a great business, but rather to do a great service for his adopted country that he loved. The Davey organization was a natural and logical outgrowth of the public demand that was created for the services of skilled and reliable Tree Surgeons. While the Davey organization itself is 25 years old, the science of Tree Surgery was born nearly a half century ago in the mind and heart of John Davey, who saw with understanding eyes the tragic and unnecessary loss of priceless trees. John Davey taught the philosophy of the tree as a living thing, as of elemental value to all life, as of incomparable beauty and loveliness. His was a voice crying in the wilderness, "Save your trees!"

Of the estimated 20,000 theaters in this country, ninety-seven per cent of them are to-day devoted exclusively to the showing of motion pictures. Some of the remaining three per cent have a combination vaudeville and movie policy. Only 500 theaters in the entire country now exist without the aid of the moving pictures. By the Way Wife (tearfully): "You have broken the promise you made me." Husband: "Never mind, my dear, don't cry. I will make you another." When the Commissioner of Internal Revenue recently turned down the claims for income-tax deductions made by Gloria Swanson, the movie star, he disclosed an interesting clause in her contract with the Famous Players Film Corporation. Miss Swanson contended that she had a right to deduct enormous sums for jewelry, automobiles, clothes, etc., as legitimate business expenses, and offered in proof her contract, which read: ". . . must appear in public in attractive and fashionable costumes and shall, at proper intervals, entertain in a lavish manner, consistent, however, with good taste and the social standing of the artist." A man going to register for election was asked his trade. "Mason and builder," he replied. The next man in line, an old Irishman, had the same question put to him. "Knight o' Columbus an' bricklayer," he answered. The "dual" nature of the executive department of the Government of Texas is commented upon in the following verses taken from "The Lions' Roar," organ of the Austin, Texas, Lions' Club: THE GOVERNOR OF TEXAS For erring folk in prison Amid the envious clamor When rivalry malicious The Klan may plot and bluster, A man on his first sea voyage experienced the usual symptoms. His companion came down to his cabin and invited him to come up on deck to see a passing ship. "Don't bother me again," said the victim, "until you see a tree pass." a course Students of the University of North Carolina recently asked the Faculty to provide on the social, economic, medical, and psychological aspects of marriage. They pointed out that, with over a thousand courses in college curriculums, there surely could be a place for this subject which is of such vital interest to young men. Heretofore instruction of this sort was not obtainable in college, but had to be gleaned haphazardly from devious sources. The Faculty complied with the students' request, and two evenings a week are now devoted to lectures and discussion on marriage, with enthusiastic response and interest from the student body. A press despatch from Detroit reads: "When the Circuit Court jury on which Mrs. Nina B. Smith was serving resumed after luncheon yesterday, she remembered she had left a pot of beans on the fire. The judge excused her and the court went on with the trial for fifty minutes without her. The beans were saved." The editor of the Norway, Maine, "Advertiser" voices a Nation-wide grievance in this poignant paragraph: "We got some clothes the other day, preparatory to going fishing. Got them of a reputable dealer. Paid the price, and had to sew on all the buttons on the pants, shirts, and pajamas. Why is it the buttons are not put on strong as they should be when the clothes are made?" Fred C. Kelly in "The Wisdom of Lazi. ness" writes: "One of the best salesmen I ever knew confided to me, when asked for the secret of his success: 'I live well within my means, but dress far beyond my means.'"
