ERB w are at the beginning
of another musical season,
snd with what prospects T Tha
troubled condition of affairs
In Euro pa will affect tnuatcal
affaira In America lust tha
same aa It doa say other Una of actlrlty
In which we depend to any extent upon
tha foreign market. It will deprive ua
of hearing of aome of tha greatest living
artists, and way sooner or later deprlva
tha world of the artlata themselves men
whose whole Uvea hare been given up
to the advancement of their art, the
acknowledged centera of which they are
Dow called upon to ruin or deatroy. On
the other hand, many American artlata
who hare for years held conspicuous po
sition In the selfsame oentera of art
will, no doubt, be hastening their steps
homeward, and seeking musical work
either In concert or In teaching la their
native land.
Owing to tha uncertainty of European
artlata. the prospects for the Amerloan
professional . artist are exceptionally
bright. People will go to hear a good
concert, whether It la given by either
foreign or horn talent. If It Is sufficiently
advertleed and sufficiently good. People
are prone to hold several different stand
arde of good. What la poor in one In
stance might be excellent In another, but
when you come to think of It, ought to
to be considered good In either?
I feel that wo ahouid not. alter our
standard of good either for or against
our compatriots. I saw an article the
other day upon tha subject of Imported
and domestic, articles, In which It called
attention to the fact that we would (per
haps have to content ourselves sooner or
later with California olive oil wrrlch waa
acknowledged to be superior to the Im
ported; with home grown peas, which
'were much better than the amall Imported
French peas: and se on through a list
of commodities until It came to sardines.
In regard to these. It said that while the
American packed sardines were not aa
good aa tha Imported varieties. It waa ex.
pected that the packers would Immedi
ately take atepa to Improve the domestic
product
Perhaps the ssme will be true In tha
musical world. The musical public may
learn to be content with these native ar
tists who equal. If they do not surpass,
tha majority of their foreign brothers,
but when they come '-to the species of do
tnestlo artlata who correspond to the do--nestle
sardines, let ua hope that Instead
of changing their standard of good to
suit the native artists, that Is this case
also steps will be taken to Improve the
borne product
The prospects are blight for the Amer
ican teachers. Every year brings on Its
young students, who are deemed by fond
parents as old enough to atudy aome
musical Instrument Each year some In

the sociable art of must, end people in

mal. With the record breaking agricul
tural crop this aeason, the chancsa In
Omaha and the middle west are that
there will be no shortage In tha crop of
young asplranta for mualcal honors. Even
though th war In Europe ahouid make
a difference in the number of atudenta
studying, tha eoneoletlon of the mualo
teacher la that usually the least serious
pupils are the one who give up their
musical work,
.
What sr tha prospect for the students
themselves T The growth of appreciation
of good mualo gives them more encourage
ment at hame and la a atlmulua for better
work. The gradual advanoa of tha sys
tem of accrediting mualo In tha high
schools now successfully used In the most
progressiva cities, will place mualo upon
a higher plan, and alao allow tha aerloua
worker time to follow hla musical pur
suit without sacrificing his general high
' school education. ...
. T limn tne lasi lew years m- pwrvwnw
age of educated young musicians who
have Joined our teaching raaka have In
creased enormously, and a com petition
In every line brings out the beet, so thee
people are gradually eliminating the poor
mualo teacher, who can not ahow favor
able results In coriipsflson with thoaa of
the better Sort. .
The setting then is favorable, for the
American artist, ths American teacher
and the American student, and what I
have aald In a general way above ap
plies In particular to tha situation In
Omaha. There la only one thing neces
sary for them all In order to achieve
success and that la to "aaw wood." There
s no danger of anybody being toe good.
Students should remember that they will
be th teachers tomorrow or perhepe
even the artists, and tbey will need all
the equipment they can get They ahouid
banish th fond Illusion that In ten or
twenty lessons they will know all that la
necessary to know and can blossom
forth a first claa performer In their
respective line. They ahouid recognise
the fact that though mualo 1 th most
sociable of the art a. It la also the most
unsocial. Tor the hour In whtoa one
enjoy hla music socially, days and
routilhs of solitary work have been necee
sary, behind the acenes, you might say,
practicing, listening, noticing and think,
lng. It may be you have a keen ear, a
quickness of perception, or perhaps you
are even a prodigy exceptional talent will
do much to help yon go further In the
earn amount of time than aome one who
Is leas gifted, but it doesn't make , any
difference with the work. The Uvea of
all of the great sompoeers prove that
they an worked hard at their art Even
though 'you might be a most marvelous
prodigy, and you ahouid work several
hours a day all of your Ufa. you would
not reach the limit of musical knowledge
for there Isn't any. One can approach
perfection, but not reach It Aa on con
tinue to study on grows In Interest and
appreclaUoa just as a fragrant flower
receiving nourishment, buds to bloom,
nd aa It grow larger and larger the
stronger it fragranos becoroee. The
prosict with the local musical people
are therefore that everybody who Is
seriously Interested fat musto will do a
great deal of hard work and enjoy It,

Juns, In which, unconscious of the war
cloud, which waa so soon to descend Upon
ths world, hs mads some remarks which
seem - particularly appropriate to repeat
at this time:
. Education la the great vital thing today,
yesterday and tomorrow. In Asia, Africa,
Europe and even on our own continent
we come across the ruins of civilisations
so marveloualy great that ws tremble
when we think of them. Here and there
soma crumbling monument, like the pyra
mids of Egypt, remains to tell the tale
ghostly reminders of vanished races.
But most astonishing of all, tha teaming
of the ancients Is aa useful today as It
was thousands of years ago. Athens now
Is little more than a few pllea of broken
marble, -but the plays of Aeschylus are
acted all over the world. The wars of
Alexander the Great are known to only
a few who browse In history, but the me
chanlcal principles evolved by Archimedes
are seen a million- times In a million ways
In our own country. Rome Is in ashes,
but the Inspired teachings' of Jesus Christ
are still going on. The entire dynasty of
Napoleon Bonnparts haa been wiped out,
but the symphonies of Ludwlg van( Bee
thoven are played every year In every
civilised metropolis of the world. Na
poleon produced a dead thing; Beethoven
produced a living thing. On waa de
structive genius; the other was) a con
structive genius. The great educators of
the world are the constructors. Don't
you aee that the great vital thing of all
ages Is education t

Tenants Look In- for tjearlers
Where Tbey Will Net Have t
Fred Coal lata Farnapea
This Winter.
With tha approach of ths cool days of
fall and ths suggestion of winter, there
grows a demand for apartments. Rel
estate men look for a brisk business In
apartment rental this fall. Th demand
ha begun already with th first days
of September.
Within ths Isst four years a great msny
apartment house have been built In
Omaha; so many as to attract attention
and call forth comment Yet those built
within ths last three or four years have
practically ail been equipped with up-to-
date conveniences. Kvery year new1 con
venience are added to th new apartment
houses going up.
Year ago the building wen finished
in ordinary wood, sometimes oak. but
often a soft wood. These began ts look
shsbby Inside with time. Today th finest
of hardwoods are going Into th newer
apartments. An example of this Is the
Morehouse apartment just completed
within ths Isst few weeks, known as the
Highland Court, to be handled by A. P.
Tukey aV Son. These apartments are ftn
lahed In mahogany. The bed rooms are
of whits enamel. Convenience that were
not dreamed of two decade ago are her
installed. Th apartment sr equipped
with electrto washers. They sr equipped
also with vacuum cleaner, th power
being furnished In th angina room below.
Th whol building Is piped wtth ths air
pipes for vacuum work and there is a
pips attachment in each apartment All
the tenant has to do I to attach th hose
of the vacuum cleaner to ths pips In ths
wall and go to cleaning.
Some ef Convenience.
This Is an example of what the most
modem snd iip-to-dats spartmenta In
Omaha ars today. People flock to these
In the winter, and msny 11 vs In them ths
year round. There is no coal to shovel
There is no firs to stoke. . There ars no
grimy, soot-covsred hands to wssh snd
soot-saturated coats snd hate to send to
ths cleaner. Above ail, there ars no ashes
to carry. There Is a Janitor who look
after all that There Is nothing to do ex
sept occasionally call up th fanltor If
hs ts sending up too much heat or If he
is not sending up enough. There Is no
garbs gs to carry and there Is no trouble
with th garbage man about not calling
for garbage often enough. The Janitor
taks all thoss troubles upon himself, and
sees to It that all runt smoothly.
With September Omahans begin to re
turn from their vacations. That means
they must find a plsce to Ilvs. They
have abandoned their residence or their
apartment for tha summer, and now are
casting about for ths most eonyenlsnt
erartment that their financial condition
warrants. Others are new residents In
Omaha, who are seeking eonvenlent and
thoroughly equipped spartmenta. For
theee reasons those handling rental of
apartments sr beginning to receive many
tails for such locations.
There is a big range In prices of spart
ments In Omaha. ' Ons can get them for
from $30 or S3t for the smaller apartments
of three rooms, with a greater or less
number of conveniences, up to 175 to tW
for six-room and seven-room apartments
In ths moat modern, most up-to-date and
most highly equipped establishments in
(hs city.
Fla-ar en Coal Bill.
Many people all over the city are today
looking up their last year's coal bill and
trying to figure out whether they would
not . do better to Pay 150 a month foe
apartmenta this winter than to pay S3S a
month for house' rent and $1S and 2S a
month for coal to keep the house warm
with a furnace. Every fall thl earns
calculation go on In hundreds of homes
In ths city, and every fall a great many
et .the calculators decide In favor of the
apartment house, especially at ths coal
bill Is becoming, year by year, more and
mors of a problem. Then, too, ths light
bills, ths gas bills snd other Incidentals
sre to be reckoned with,
Iteal estate agent are brushing up
their rental department. Th question
of modern house begin to be a serious
question In ths fall. Many would not llvs
without a furnace in this age. There
are other who In a house of flv room
would Just a soon get along without a
furnace. There are those still who stick
to th baseburner, on account of th
pleasant glow of red coals, and because It
furnished a steady heat without eating
coal so very fast. There Is a tendency
emong a certain group of renters to seek
houses without furnaces when they are
looking for something in a five-room
house. They hold that they can heat a
houss of that site Just ss well wtth a
base burner as with a furnace, and that
they save a great many dollars through
ths winter In coal bills, as th furnace
necessarily consume more cool.
Houses of seven and eight rooms, how
ever, sr a little hard to rent unless' they
have furnace. A great many who have
houses of this, kind to rent are beginning
to realise the difficulty with which they
have to contend and are putting In fur
sacra In this elaaa of houses before offer
ing them for rent.
