after an Impartial hearing, held up his

When tip Tinner bell rang they
stood not on the order of their going,
but quickly formed into line and took
their position.** at the table. The appe-
of - old and young were good and
no basons were needed to teach the
art of eatli v. The only order I ever
heard given nt that table was: “Do
not eat too fast”
At the table it was announced that
special donations had been sent In by
the Whittle school, the Nisbet schcol
and the Vlnevllle school and Mr. T. C.
Parker. For nil of which thanks were
returned.
After dinner came the time for hear
ing. All assembled In the chapel,
where music, recitations, dialogues,
Hpcecheg and pantomimes were ren
dered In a manner reflecting credit
on teachers nnd pupils. Mrs. Edwin
Gould fAvored them with a song and
the writer jvlth a Thanksgiving lee
ture.
One detracting thought, however,
would not down at the bidding. Since
the last annual celebration some of the
best friends of this Institution had
passed away: their voices were hushed
and their la bora were ended. Yet their
labors do follow them, and we hope In
all tho coming* years this Institution
may stand as a monument to the mem
ory of Its projector and founder. Rev.
W. E. Muihford. Another that stood
near him. a friend nnd helper In the
enterprise, Mr. C. A. Turner, whoso
last contribution to the press was an
appeal for the home.
Rut it Is gratify'ng to know, while
some have passed away, a kind Prov
idence has raised others to fill thf
places. With E. J. Willingham
president of the board, the work has
gone on smoothly and successfully, and
many of the best citizens have become
Interested In this work. Mr. Willing
ham. knowing the value of woman’s
help In every good enterprise, resolved
after Dr. Mumford’s death to seek for
helpers. Miss Kate Ayres was Invited
to select a corps of ladles to assist her
In the work. Mrs. Rlewellyn Holt and
eight or ten others organized a Ladles’
Auxiliary Society, with Miss Ayres ns
president and these are doing a noble
work.
This enterprise is worthy of the ef
forts of all Georgians, nnd especially
should ejlclt the co-operntlon of all the
good citizens of Macon. The work has
been well begun; let the good work go

Japanese Musical Instruments as Ex
hibited in the Shuji Izawa Collection
at the New England Conservatory cf
Music-—The Samisen and the Geisha
Girl.
BOSTON, Nov. 19.—Japanese music
has only very slightly influenced the
occidental musical world, although Jap
anese art has powerfully affected the
whole breed of painters and their fol
lowers from James McNeil Whistler
down. Every little artist surrounds
himself in his studio with Japanese
prints and textiles; art teachers every
where are nowadays basing their In
struction in design upon principles ex
emplified by such craftsmen as Hoku-
stl and Hiroshige. But American com
posers seem not as yet to have discov
ered very much that Is of more than
general Interest In the epic chants,
short lyrics and instrumental music of
the Nipponese kingdom.
A study of Japanese musical Instru
ments as they appear In the Shuji lz-
awa collection at the New England
Conservatory of Music—which was
presented to this music school by the
mikado and is said to be the best col
lection of Its kind in the United States
and probably In the world—leads one
readily to understand why the music
of the little Oriental kingdom can
hardly have had a great effect In an
age when "color" has been the prevail
ing aim of the composer’s art; and It
may be suspected that only In case
there is u reaction from the present
ogue of complex chromatic effects,
will the comparatively primitive forms
t music prevailing In the far East be
found to contain valuable suggestions
for our students and composers,
any rate there the music Is and, though
European popular songs and airs are
becoming known in the cities of tho
islands, it Is unlikely that the older
forma will be neglected for a long time
to come. It may be true that the gam
ins of Yokahama and yeddo have all
summer been whistling “Bedella" and
Blue Bell’’ as earnestly as the small
boys of New York or San Francisco;
yet the sentiment of the people for the
art which the emperor Jimmu is fa
bled to have Invented out of love for
the beautiful maid Isuxu'still contin
ues very strong.
For that reason such collections of
instruments from the land of the Mi
kado as the conservatory possesses
will always have genuine human In
terest, calling up pictures of exquisite
tea-rooms shaded with cherry treesand
thronged with delicately-gowned sing
ing girls.
That the best gathering of Japanese
muslcnl instruments in the United
States should be found In a New Eng
land Institution Is punaps not unfit
ting since It was through an Invitation
extended to Dr. Eben Tourjee, founder
of the New England Conservatory
that a Boston musician. Luther Whit
ing Mason—the same who first placed
music In the curriculum of the public
schools of this city—was slngularrly
honored by being called to Japan to
accomplish for the Mikado’s capital
what he had done for his own home
town. The three years which Dr. Ma
son spent In building up In Toklo 1
course of Instruction according to Eu
ropean standards. If It had no other
results, at least led to the first real
understanding by occidentals of Jap
anese music. In recognition of the
musician's services tho government nt
Toklo some time since forwarded to
the conservatory the original charts
which were first used in teaching Jap
anese students In accordance with Eu
ropean methods. HHHHVHpWHl
In the conservatory collection one
finds of course abundance of examples
of that most common of Japanese In
struments—the one with which Dr.
Mason first Investigated the Japanese
scale—the samisen. Everywhere in
Japan one notes the singing girl and
her samisen. The lnsttument is made
of hardwood with the usual sounding
board, or belly, of drum-head stuff
and strings of silk. On It are played
the popular songs of the notion wjilch,
though different enough In musical
quality, are said to lie strikingly like
our own in sentiment, consisting gen
rally of love songs and comic effort*
On the samisen. for example, the sing
ing girls play the music of that pop
ular ditty. “Harosaml” or ”8prln«
Rain," which may perhaps be taken
ns an Oriental counterpart of "The
Qood Old Summer Time.” It tells
something about a b'rd which In
storm takes refuge on a plum tree and
longs for his nest far away. Rendering
such melodies on the samisen the
singing girl, or gheko, never lacks for
audiences and even European travelers
atop to listen while she thrums her
three-stringed instrument with
little plectrum, or horn, of hardwood.
The tone Is said to be not unlike that
of the banjo, although it Is sweeter In
timbre.
Another Instrument, which appears
In the collection Is the biwa, resemb
ling the lute of mediaeval Europe ex

of the Fekl-Blind. Fekl. It should be
said, was a Japanese prince of many
years ago who went to war with Jorl
torao, a war-god who captured him
and sought to attach him to his ser
vice. Patriotism, always so strong
In the Japanese, led Fekl to refuse
consistently to sene In the courts of
an enemy. buT he so appreciated his
captor's magnanimity that he plucked
out hts 4>wn eyes rather than to con
tinue to look him In the face. Fekl
later became a famous musician and
founded the order which goes by
his name. It Is a sort of a Masonic
organization, the members' of which

twenty-five to fifty strip-1. The meet
popular term of the k^to t* railed the

The other stringed Instrument
which deserves particular mention is
the koklu. This has the usual primi
tive body of hard wood and skin. It
might easily be confounded with the
samisen, save that It Is smaller and
has four strings. The strands of Its
bow are tightened by winding the
loose ends around the finger of the
right band. The koklu Is played with
the body resting on the player’s lap.
It Is tuned In fifths and It gives out
tones that are very sonorous. To
gether with the samisen and the koto
tt makes a good combination for a
trio. There is also an Instrument,
like the banjo called the gekkln and
another, of the same general shape
bur having no freta, known as the
■hlgen.
One of the favorite Japanese wind
Instruments Is the fuye. made of a
bamboo stick wound about with thread
except at the points where It la pierc
ed and lacquered. It Is not a very
perfect instrument though it Is supe
rior to the one which was probably
Its progenitor, called the siaku-hschi.
The last named Is a mere rough tube
with four holes on one side for the
fingers and one opposite which is
stopped by the thumb. This Is not a
traverse flute; it is blown through

The other leading form of wind In

The snare drum la quite unknown.
With a single exception there are no
orchestras in Japan. In the theatri
cal bands one finds generally a flute,
a couple of aamlsena and two or three
drums.
The singing with which players
accompany their efforts at parties in
the tea houses or elsewhere is not
high from the occidental point of view.
The singers nearly all use the falsetto
voice. The Japanese care very little
for harmony and probably would not
be especially interested in orchestral
works built up on their national tunes.
Just as Japanese music has little to
offer to the European composer, so up
to this time western music ha* made
comparatively little progress in Japan,
though the imperial orchestra at To
klo. led first by Eckert and more lately
by the Viennese violinist, Dubrowsky,
has done some educational work. The
music which this orchestra plnys la
done in our manner of notation, but
the Japanese public still clings to Its
own style of notation with the char
acters printed In vertical rows. A few
musicians have come to America or
Europe to study. One of these. Mr.
T. Togi. is at present studying at the
conservatory, which usually has one
or two representatives of the Nip
ponese kingdom in 1U list of pupils.
A few years ago there was registered
as a student a princess of the royal
family whose identity, for obvioua
reason?, was kept carefully hidden
until after she had left the school.
The usefulness of the Japan*
struments which Mr. Bhugl Isatra gave
to the New England, Conservatory lu
the name cf the imperial government
at Toklo Is perhaps lees apparent now
than It will be later* on when, with
closer relationship established between
the United States and Japan, every
feature of the Pfe of the nititn across
the Pacific will be studied even mere
