"Of course I am a human being, untrained musically, and you will have to deal patiently with my But I'll pay you imperfections. so much an hour, one evening a week, to come to my home and play the piano for me."

This was the frank proposition

"I need the money. I'll come". said the girl. "But you won't mind if I try to make you like the things I do, will you?”

That there is need of young men and women to train us oldsters, not technically but by the power of contagious enthusism and illuminating words, The young people often need the extra money; and above all they, need our sympathy and under- standing. In the long run one wishes to be judged by one's peers, but until that happy moment comes, the musically blest must raise up their own daily judges. And if they can gain monetarily at the same time, so much the bet- ter. Every home needs its own in- terpretative musician who is far from expensive at a few dollars an hour. Is not this an odd mo- ment's 'useful occupation for any creative piano student who can interpret musical ideas and pass them on to others?

This article taken from the "Christian Science Monitor" tells effectively how anyone who would grow in musical appreciation may another. find a way to do so while helping
