has been given a particularly attractive title
page, the color and atmosphere of which carry
out the idea of the Fall season. The number
particularly lends itself to window display pur-
poses and several dealers have used the title
pages as a background with Fall branches from
nearby trees. One dealer carrying out this idea
used a tiny electric fan which kept the leaves
in motion, thereby attracting further attention
to the window.

priate song for the Fall season. The number

Los ANGELES, CAL., November 4.—The Neville-
Marple Co., the new sheet music store, sharing
quarters with Plan's, has been tendered a
cordial welcome from the profession, students
and music lovers. The new firm, headed by
Harry Neville, a conspicuous figure in musical
matters here when managing Hefflefinger's and
later Schirmer's, has been ushered into existence
on the basis of a smoothly working organiza-
tion.
Musical activities of every nature find repre-
sentation in the ample new stock carried by
the firm just founded. Mr. Neville is noted for
his unusual knowledge of repertoire, American
and foreign, while eighteen years' experience in
the sheet music business have brought him val-
uable.connections with the leading publishers in
Europe and here. He is considered an authority
on copyright matters, having a wide and com-
prehensive grasp of this subject.
American composers and specially those liv-
ing here will be featured especially by the
Neville-Marple Music Co. Mr. Neville will, in
the course of time, also act as publisher for
California composers.
LICENSES FOR TEACHERS
City
Chamberlain Outlines Desirability
Licensing Teachers of Music
of
The need for licensing teachers of music in
order that only instructors of character and
ability may carry on their work in New York
was set forth at a hearing in City Hall re-
cently by City Chamberlain Philip Berolzheimer.
Several hundred men and women prominent in
the music arts attended, including Frank Dam-
rosch, Frank La Forge, Estelle Pratt and
Graham Reid. It was the first of a series of
such meetings to be held.
"We have found some teachers in this city,"
said Mr. Berolzheimer, "who exhibit diplomas
alleged to have been awarded by foreign c o n -
servatories, but on careful investigation we have
ascertained that these institutions did not exist.
Many of these fakers have received as high as
$300 and $400 from their pupils, who have little
or nothing to show for their expenditures. So
far the teaching profession is in favor of licens-
ing teachers, and I- believe if this-^were done
the profession would be on as high a plane
as the medical or legal professions."
Dr. Damrosch said he did not know how it
would be possible to license teachers of music.
"There is nothing so elusive as an examina-
tion in any of the arts," Mr. Damrosch de-
clared. "You cannot ask questions and then
by direct answers say a person is qualified.
Think of the many people who consider they
have the right to teach! It is shameful and
disgraceful. It is surely incredible how they
put it over. The principal difficulty is devising
practical means of licensing teachers in this
State. Music congresses for years have dis-
cussed this matter, but have reached no definite
conclusion."
Arthur Behim, professional manager for
Harms, Inc., is spending several weeks in
Chicago in the interest of his firm's publications.
