There is a feeling among those music publishers
in the know and who have had experience with dis-
putes over royalties, that the adoption of the sys-
tem in vogue in England would simplify the sys-
tem of accounts and prove generally satisfactory
to all concerned, despite the fact that there might
be some difficulty in securing the co-operation of
all publishers, song writers and composers. The
English system demands that the composer be noti-
fied when a certain lot of music is received from
the printers and that he visit the premises of the
publisher to place his stamp on each copy person-
ally. As given lots are stamped on each occasion
it is a comparatively simple matter for an accu-
rate account of royalties to be kept. The com-
poser is also furnished protection, in that when
he comes across a copy of one of his numbers in a
music store or in a home and minus the stamp, it
is prima facie evidence that he has missed some-
thing and he can take action accordingly. When

AN IMPORTANT WORK
Is "Rhythm and Action with Music for the
Piano," Just Published by the Oliver Ditson
Co.—Especially Designed for Kindergartens
and Gymnasiums.
In these days when music in the schools is be-
coming one of the essentials of our educational
system, teachers will find the volume just issued by
the Oliver Ditson Co., Boston, Mass., and entitled
"Rhythm and Action with Music for the Piano,"
a most valuable aid in their work. The music has
been selected and edited by Katherine P. Norton
and is designed especially for kindergartens and
gymnasiums, and can be adapted with great suc-
cess for the more advanced schoolroom work.
The preface, by Ruth Waterman Norton, director
of the kindergarten in the Milwaukee Normal
School, is a most valuable contribution and em-
phasizes the importance of awakening in the chil-
dren an appreciation of music through rhythm
and in arousing a physical response.
This is undoubtedly one of the important publi-
cations of the season, for after all, musical taste
and appreciation in America must come with the
education of the child, and this volume cannot fail
to be a tremendous help in this connection, if in-
structors give it the consideration it deserves.
Like all the Ditson publications it is admirably
produced.
THE ROARING VOLCANO
E.T. PAULL'S NEW DESCRIPTIVE MARCH
Undoubtedly one of the Greatest March Two Steps ever written. Those
who have heard this new March of E. T. Paull's, declare it to he even a
greater musical conception than the celebrated "Burning of Rome" or
"Napoleon's Last Charge/ 9 two Masterpiece March Compositions.
SYNOPSIS-EXPLANATORY
The following synopsis of the various headings in the description of the music will give one an idea of the character of
the piece. It must be heard, however, to be fully appreciated. The March opens with
" Trumpets Sounding/' then follow the various headings:
bling Increases"; "Vulcano Bursts in Full Fury";
"Olympic Games Begin" (Foot Races, etc.) "Chariot and
'' Lightning Flashes "; " Volcano Belching Volumes of
Horse Races"; "Assembling of the Victors"; "Crowning
Lava and Black Smoke"; "Volcano Thundering
of the Victors"; "Ringing of the Angelus Bells"; "People's
Crashes"; " People Fleeing in Terror"; " Terrific Roar-
Vesper Hymn"; " Volcano's Distant Rumble"; " Rum-
ing of Volcano"; " People in Death and Destruction."
A WONDERFULLY BRILLIANT MARCH COMPOSITION,
WILL POSITIVELY SELL ON SIGHT.
THE MOST MAGNIFICENT TITLE PAGE EVER SEEN ON A PIECE OF MUSIC. FIVE COLORS.
Music Dealers:
Every dealer in sheet music should have copies of this great piece. We will positively guarantee the
sale of this piece or you don't pay. Write at once for the special introductory offer we are making to
music dealers. You can't possibly afford to pass this offer by. Address the publisher*,
