PNL Thompson said in part:

rpainting and music are sister “is. There is some relationbetween @0101‘ and music. In the PlBYIIlB 0! . ping organ, for, instance, a music- rm had a palette of tone colors which he is called upon to mix; but ;p the same. between music and painting a great gulf has been fixed.

Nature gives man the art of paint- lng ready made as it were. She not only provides the painter with fair forms and rich colors, but also teach- r; him the magical art of selection and arrangement. >

But what has she done for the mu- lefan. She has given him sound not music. The wailing of the wind

at night, the hum oi insect life, the nightingale: note, the scream of the eagle, the cries of animals and above all, the natural inflections of the hu- man voice—sucl1 are the rough ele- ments of music. Multitudlnous. in- coherent and formlcss. Nowhere docs there fall upon the ear of man. as he

are indebted to the nrmks during the su-called Dar-k Ages for musical notation. Then we must employ form counter point, time and rhythm. For-m may be described as the plan oi construction employed m musical composition. It is the architecture of music. Harmony and counter point may be likened to the clay of the pom-r. while form is the ‘design of the vessel into which lt is mold- rd. Time is the systematic grouping of notes in the measure.

Rhythm is the systematic group- ing of measures in a sentence. Some important forms of music ere the sonata, the Fugues, the Fantasia, tire Symphony, the Cantata. and the Opera.

very vital place in the scheme of mankind but the machine can never t

entirely displace man in music, for the simple reason that a machine can never have a heart, a mind, or a soul. if: matter what the claims qr the Mnanuiacturers are, no radio trans. unlsrlon of orchestral and concert lp-rrformances can ever equal actual latacndance at the concert. Y-Et we lcanntt overlook the fact that by the lnrechanical distribution of music, millions have heard really fine music - for the first time in their lives.

Tl-c parent who gives his child a musical education is giving him one of the greatest advantages in l1 life. The saying is also true that the ;rlt'ircst child is poor without a mu- ‘isical education.

Music is a spiritual art. It has been called the hand-maiden of reli- gion: It seems to be made of that ‘IICUKIDU stuff of which life itself is uz-atic. It'ls here today and gone lo- Tmorrow and wc have only the mem- ' ory left.

JOHANNESBURG, South Africa, Jan. iii-south Africans for some time have been departing from the old doys of numerous “nations? so- cieties in the Union, which striking- ly indicated the changing character of the population.

The strongest patrotic society in tho country is still the Sons of Eng- land. In the Transvaal alone it has 34 lodges, all active. There is no sign of weakness in its organization, nlthrugir some explain this on tho grounds that this society has, in the pox: few years acquired a certain political complexion that has helped to keep it together‘.

'I'he purely social of the national organizations find an outlet for their pzztrlctirm in forming- clubs; and in Johannesburg there are the French

Now Want Close , Season on Elkl vrcrronra, 3.0., Jan. id-uayl The Canadian Press)-- Elk whichr roamed in countless thousands over,‘ the Northwest years ago and which,‘ have since been reduced to a few! scattered herds will be given a3 chance to multiply again on the wlldi lands of the Queen Charlotte Islands, far from the hunters trail.

The British Columbia game board has adopted a programme for the stocking 0f the islands with elk ta- ken from some o.’ the finest herds on the mainland, and in time it is ho- ped to build their number up to many thousands.

Tcn cow elk were recently released on the islands and they will join a colony which preceded them last year from Wainwright National Park. Some eight year ago a, small band of elk was placed by the ganrc board in the Okanagan Valley. They multi- plied so rapidly that they became a. menace to the orchardlsts and cow- boys wcrc assingcd to rounl them up for transfer to a more remote area. Just before the animals were about to enter the corral one of the cow- boys dropped behind to light a cig- arette and the elk. ivhicir had been herded together with great difficulty, broke through the cordon and es» coped. They could not be brought to- gether again untll lost autumn, when ten cows were captured and prepar- ed for shipment too tho Queen Charlottts.

Indians who have wacthed the progress of the elk colony on the islands with keen interest, report that the young elk are thriving and that conditions arc very favorable lo the development of a big herd as there are no natural enemies of the elk like cougars orwolves on the . islands.
