Jazz Piano Playing
One of the questions most fre- j
quently asked a teacher is wheth r j
the playing of jazz wm not inter- ;
fere with the playing of classical !
music. The answer is this- Too
many students will play jazz un
known to the teacher and as a re
sult develops a careless reading of
notes and a "sloppy” hand position,
both of which are extremely detri
mental to true pianist’s progress.
Through the careful supervision
of a teacher this will not happen
And far more music will be learn
ed because of the student interest
in what he is playing,
There is a wrealth of rhythm,
melody and harmony in jazz. Some
of the melodies are trite, some
catchy and some are downright
haunting, but a student who learrs
to become conseioiqs of the melody
in jazz is the one who becomes
conscious of the stream of tone
biendings found in finer music.
Attractive jazz playing demands
an inteiligsrtt un^tej-st-aTiding of
major and mino'Jyhords to provide
the harmony and establish the ,
rhythm. If the student learns lhe.se
chords, he will be able to recognize
them in their broken forms as so
often found in classical music
The love for fine music must he
introduced gradually and tactfully
to the youth of today. And only
after the thirst for ‘something
popular” has been quenched will
the student apply himself diligent
ly to the studies of Izerny, Bach,
and Heller.
Hence, a teacher who will sup
| ervise the jazz as well as the
j classical playing of the student will
not make jazz pianists, but future
> artists and appreciative listeners to
the finest that is to be found in
the World *f mus-ic.

Test Papers Mark Themselves
Examination papers which grade
themselves automatically, disclos
ing to students immediately wheth
er their answers are right or
wrong, have been produced by a
Mississippi college professor. Un
der each question are listed sever
al answers, one of which is cor
rect. With a fountain pen filled
with water the student traces the
number preceding the answer he
believes is right. If the number
changes from black to blue, he is
correct, but if it changes to red,
he is wrong.—Popular Mechanics

FORK IS NEWCOMER
IN EATING TOOLS
Spoon, Knife Were First
Among Food Utensils.
W ishington, D. C. — Spoons that
scooped up walrus strew from a
common pot, and knives thi t sliced
off mouthfuls of raw blubber for
hungry Eskimos 1,090 years ago
were found in Alaska this summer
by a joint expedition of the National
Geographic society and the Smith
sonian institution.
"These ancient utensils give a
vivid picture of the life of ten oen
turies ago, but they also are re
minders that although table man
ners have changed, eating imple
ments of today are essentially the
same as in prehistoric tirhes,” says
the National Geographic society.
"The spoon is as old as man
himself, or at least, as a wit re
marked, as old as soup, while the
knife dates back equally far. Even
thg fork, ‘hough only a few hundred
years old in its present form, de
veloped from skewers or breiling
sticks, which were stuck in the
ashes with fish 'spitted' on them
tor ceoking. The first forks had
only a single prong.
First Spoons Were Shells.
“The prehistoric Eskimo spoons
found in Alaska are of wood, ivory
or the horns or bones of caribou.
The knives have wooden, ivory or
bone handles with slate blades
ground to a sharpness comparable
to the table knife of today.
"The earliest spoons, however,
probably were clam or oyster shells,
or small gourds. Later someone
thought of inserting the shell or
gourd in the split enu of a stick,
thus making a handle.
“The spoon, knife and many other
utensils also had a common origin
in the wooden 'throwing board’ used
by some primitive peoples for gain
ing greater leverage in throwing a
spear. Flat and slightly hollowed,
the throwing board was used also
for a fire-making tool, for catching
blood from a slain animal, and had
a sharpened edge for use as a
skinning knife or a weapon. It
could be used as a combined knife,
spoon and platter.
"The spoon served from earliest
times not only for eating soups,
stews, berries and other foods not
easily picked up with the Angers,
but also as a record af family and
tribal genealogy. All aver the world
primitive man carved tribal orna
ments and totems of his ancestors
—many of them mythical—on the
handles of his spoons, often with
amazing artistry and extremely del
icate detail.
“Spoons of later date, too, had
elaborately carved handles, for ex
ample the 'Apostle spoons' in sets
of 13, each bearing the figure of a
different one of the 12 Apostles, and
the thirteenth the figure of Christ.
They were popular as gifts to new
born babies. Some ancient spoon
handles had sharp points for punc
turing eggs.
“Spoons have been made of many
materials, wood, ivory, stone, porce
lain, even the horns of mountain
sheep, steamed until they could be
bent into an open spoon shape. Some
American Indians had spoons of
coils of basketry sewn into spoon
shape, but used of course only for
dry foods.
Carried Own Tools.
“In the Thirteenth century a guest
used the same spoon throughout his
meal, usd was expected to bring
his own knife. Even as much as
400 years later people of the more
prosperous classes, when traveling,
carried their own knives, forks, and
spoons with them, for inns of those
days seldom provided eating uten
sils. Fashionable people had elab
orate folding sets of knives, forks
and spoons for traveling.
“Next to the spoon the knife was
the oldest eating utensil, and 'eat
ing with one’s knife' was far from
bad manners until very recent
times. The Eskimo of 1,000 years
ago, and today, stuffs the end of a
strip of meat into bis mouth until
it will hold no more, then cuts off
the remainder with • swift knife
stroke that barely misses, but never
touches, his nose.
"Old knives were pointed, for
spearing fragments of meat, and
had round ends, for table knives
came into use only after forks be

WOMEN TAKING OVER
MANY AUSTRIAN JOBS
Women are making such rapid
Inroads Into Austrian trades and
professions that some men fear In
a few years they will lose control
of all key positions, asserts a VI
enna United Pres* correspondent.
A recent census of all trades and
professions Showed the apprnxl
mate ‘'genderlal” division of two
thirds mea and one-third women.
At the rate women have been
penetrating the higher-paid pmfes
slons since the war It Is feared the
percentage soon will be reversed
because as the women advance to
better positions they engage fern
Inlne assistants Instead' of men.
The women, ns might be expect
ed, dominate certain trades like
ladies’ tailoring, clerking and
stenography, hut the astounding
thing Is that 10 per cent of the
country’s pharmacists are women.
8 per cent of the country’s doc
tors, 15.2 per cent of the dentists
and 3.1 per cent of the lawyers.
One fourth of Austria's private
Instructors, musicians, writers and
Journalists are women, while even
In the field of enginering there are
30 accredited feminine engineers
In addition, there arc 13 con
tractors. 175 mall carriers. 153
chauffeurs and eight chimney
sweeps.
fn the textile Industry 00 to 80
per cent of the workers are worn
en, while one-third of the total
farmers are female.
