L. D. Thompson, organist of mo“ church, before the Rotary Club 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 walks through the wide world, such. an arrangement of sound as can Ire rallcd a musical subject, a thanre, n!" melody. Far lcss docs he find ony- zhing that can be described as mu- sical harmony. The cries of most large birds such as the ostrich and pnsruck are intolerabiy disagreeable. llor are the voices of animals any. better. Poets from tinrc imnrcwrorlui hrue Fried to throw dust into tin: eyes oi nankinri whenever they have touch- ed upon this subject of min-re. The harmonics of nature ure purely nret- nphorlcal.

"lvian in his creation of nrzrslc had lo invent a system of ilotation. Wei 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. Palcstrina to whom we owe mod- ern melody, was born in leil-l and n! 250 years from that date the delights oi melody the depths and resources of harmony had been explored.

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. “crlr: wide is the fame of Dr. Charles- H. Mayo, of Rochester. There together with his equally famous brother, he has built an institution i which is one of the marvels oi med- llfifll hliivry- These men are strong l‘ advocates of music study. Dr. Mayo gha»; installed in his home a. large ‘OYBHP. with a player attachment at , which he sits daily for hours, after _his strenuous work. Dr. Mayo says l"! get s0methirrg.from playing my r argon which is of a recreative and irexnstructivc value, which I can find no other way. It helps to rcst ' and rebuild me every day. I would have Elven anything 1r 1 had had u _ rurzrcai training." 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. I Mark Twain. the great humorist. his! had a mechanical organ in his home which he played with great ‘ delight each day. . j Nevertheless the periornurnuo of 'thes: mechanical contrlvances. per- fcrt though they be, lack the feeling and soul that eauld be put into the’ music through the human touclr. In this paper on musieI have tried ‘to siren. something of the rise, pro- grnz; and use oi music. Let us try to imagine ivhat this world would be withtut music-surely a sad and I ciruny place. 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.

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.
