Playing Safe

Arthur ‘Griffith. who daily dash- cs off editorials, tells of the negro who. when asked what was the secret of his success, replied:

"Ah nevah attempts the impos- sible and ah always oo-operates with the inevitable."

Milton was asked if he in- tended to instruct his daughters in the different languages.

He replied: “No, indeed, one tongue is sufficient for a. woman.“

WAY TO MAKE CHILDREN ENJOY MUSIC LESSON

Rhynd Jsmieson music critic for the Vancouver Dally Province, suggests a manner in which he believes children could be lured more readily from baseball fields to piano lessons.

Most. of the piesent-day teachers make the mistake. he believes, of treating their young pupils as stud- ents, rather than as children. Chil- dren, he says, miss the fun and laughter of their games while they arc taking their lessons and for that reason they think they hate music.

Instead. they should be taught

that music itself contains fun and laughter; that theze are fairy stor- ies and other stories in music as well as in literature. "Once we get to that point of view." he believes "the musical childhood of Canada is safe, but if we don't. the mortality will stead- ily increase."

As an illustration of his theory. he says: ‘Take. as one example. Schu-

mann's entrancing little number, ‘The Merzy Peasant. which is in- variably placed before the child as the worl. of one of the great com- posers not to be tampered with or treated irrevereritly, but played as if the great composer himself was listening.

“It. is a safe guess that lf Schumann was in the room, the first thing he would do would be to remove the teacher and then, sit- ting beside the youngster. he would tell it a story something like this: How the lcift hand notes were the song of the peasant as he made his weary way across his little farm. tired with the day's work. but glad to be getting home; how the double notes in the right hand were noth- ing more than the clucking of the hens as his progress disturbed their evening gravity; and how the laughter of the peasant could be heard.

If, as you sav. you have done your full duty by your family; if you have worked hard to support your nut} and cnuuien and treated them with kindnes and they have repaid YOU Only Wlth neglect and coldness. no one can blame you, now that they are grown and on their feet and your obligation to them is fulfilled. for seeking happi- ness for yourself.

Certain] thirty or forty years of loneliness and lovelessness is a l0n8 martyrdom or any one to bear, yet many men and women who, like you. have made unfortunate marriages, go through this for the sake of their rhildren. They are among the unsung heroes of the world. Surely n0 suffering can be harder to endure than having to toil for those who give you neither thanks nor appreciation; than having to stifle the cry of one's heart for love and tenderness; than having to endure daily and hourly, year after year. the moods. the tempers, the barbed insults o! those who make life a torment to one.

Every now and then we hear of an old couple getting a divorce and we vaguely wonder why they do it, why those who have been together so long do not keep together for the remainder of their life journey. which in nature canno be much longer? But that is the very reason they part. They have stood all they can bear. ‘Their endurance is at an end. And Just because they have not long to live they want to know a little peace. a little rest. a little freedom before they die, A little hap- fillnsss, a little love, if so be it that God is good enough to send it to e _ 4
