In West Hartford an ingenious plan has been devised which makes the grown-up concerts pay for the school concerts. A splendid series of programs is sold at a low price to the regular concertgoers, and the contracts with the artists include a second performance to which the high school children are all admitted without charge. Mr. Davis merely indicates the progress of the idea in this brief paper; he will be glad to send details as to business arrangements, etc., to anyone who cares to write him for them.—P. J.

If he speaks of our music work at all, it is something; and if he praises it the parents are rather prone to accept the judgment of the child, which is usually correct. However, the crux of the whole matter is that we have something to sell, and we must deliver the kind of goods the people in the community want. It may be necessary to educate them to higher standards of appreciation, but this may be done if approached properly. It may be difficult to induce them to come to the place where your wares are on exhibition, but this too may be accomplished if the proper advertising mediums are used. They may not like the first sample of your goods, but again you can advertise them into trying it again, possibly done up in another colored package. The majority of people in a community know little of music as an art and science, but with the best music in the world available at almost any hour of the day or night through the radio, a taste and appreciation is being developed which makes it necessary for the public schools to speed up in the matter of production and quality. First, last and all the time, quality in any kind of merchandise sells the product, and the sooner we realize this in public school music, the quicker shall we stop worrying about how to interest the community in our music program. Get the quality right first-then you can sell it.

Heacox. (Oliver Ditson Company.) Many good treatises on orchestration have been written, but it has remained for Professor Heacox to give us a thoroughly practical yet comprehensive and musicianly textbook. Nothing that has come to my notice can adequately take its place. Moreover, that place is a basic one. It is precisely the sort of work that should prove most effective and helpful to nine-tenths of the thousands who constitute the classes in orchestration in our music schools. They would learn, instead of yearn, by the use of this book. Its excellence springs from many factors, all consistent and all integrated in a clear-cut method that arises out of easy familiarity and long teaching experience. First, the method is pedagogically sound and modern \"project lessons,\" skillful and clever, form the course from the very first. Then there is elimination of profundities that would only fill the mind of the learner with confusion and discouragement and that are usually included (when they are) for no better reason than that the author wishes to forefend himself gaainst suspicion of superficiality or ignorance, no matter whether the pupil profits or suffers by his inappropriate display of erudition. And the result here is not superficial, it is lucid and stimulating. At no point are the higher peaks of the art of scoring absent from the horizon; but the learner properly fixes his attention upon his present ascending steps through the foothills. There is nothing new in the book, of course, but there is a deal of the old that never got itself said so clearly before. The things that every competent composer for orchestra knows are said here. The things that even many competent composers do not know but that are usually included in books on the subject are left unsaid. But not unsuggested! Allusion, quotation, bibliography, directions for extension study, are such that no teacher could follow Professor Heacox in teaching the course without adding those overtones that in all study must be brought in to give proper character and richness to the fundamentals. It is an admirable book and appears destined to extraordinarily wide use.

But had he liked it less, this review would not have been delayed until, after a proper-or was it proper?-interval, another copy could be got from the publishers. A lovely thing is a book through which you make the acquaintance of a gentle, genial, wise personality. Such unpurchased bounty this book gives. Mr. Borland was for many years Musical Advisor and Inspector to the Education Committee of the London County Council, and when his book was written (in 1927) was still acting in an advisory capacity to that body. The knowledge and faith that actuated him in that work and the opinions and wise conclusions that he reached through such richly varied experience, make up the substance of his volume. The highly qualified and experienced supervisor here pauses to survey his field of work-its values, technique, possibilities, methods, materials, conditioning circumstances. Nothing is omitted. There are eight chapters: A General Survey; Practical Ear-Training; Voice Training; EyeTraining; On Listening to Music-\"Appreciation\"; Songs for Schools; Other Musical Activities; Concerts for Children. No effort at condensation is apparent, yet in some eighty pages these eight subjects are discussed basically, broadly, in practical detail, and withal beautifully. As suggestive of breadth the following topics, selected from Chapter I (nine pages) may be named: Old and New Views; Week Spots; Montessori and Dalcroze; Part-Singing; Departmentalism; Choice of Songs; Psychology. In Pittsburgh we have adopted the book for the professional reading course of the supervisors of music. High worth and practical interest were a combination not to be resisted.
