ENCOURAGING SUMMER TEACHING—(Continued from page 62)
-Numerous young men or women idle for the
summer would be glad of an opportunity to
eke out their vacation by such employment.
The person selected, of course, should be capa-
ble and reputable. Nothing injures a principal
or manager of a school or class more than a
pert and indifferent secretary's replies to
patrons' inquiries or correspondence. On the
other hand, a competent and alert clerk, posses-
sing a pleasing personality, adds much to a
summer teacher's prestige.
As a final word about the financial part of
summer teaching enterprise, we advise teachers
to exercise superlative cauticn and thought rela-
tive to it. L pon the monetary success of the
school hinges everything.
Loose business
methods, easy-going collections, extravagant
expenditures, etc., will prove very, very costly
to a teacher who does not consider them fully.
lint wise judgment, forethought and a firm
business basis will bring the Summer School
enterprise returns far above expectations.
The most important feature that tends to the
success of a summer music teacher's efforts is
the attractiveness of the course of study selected.
The time is summer; flowers, birds and bright
th.ngs abound in the world. Hearts are pleas-
ure seeking and spirits are light. The teacher
should select the studies with this in mind.
Textbooks that are didactic in a heavy and
burdensome way, that are complex in system
and worrisome to the mind, had better not be
given to a summer pupil. Music that is prob-
lematic, that lacks spontaneity, that is heavy
and dry, will find fewer users than its oppo-
sites. Such textbooks and music may be very
useful and eminently sound, but experience has
taught summer instructors that special lines
must be laid in their plans respecting the class
cf material to be used. Indeed, a clever teacner
may permanently establish a Summer School
the first season by pleasing pupils with a good,
yet always interesting, course of study.
* * *
Teachers everywhere have been quick to see
the merits of the summer teaching idea and
have adopted it. In some cases its success has
far exceeded the highest expectations, while in
others only moderate returns have resulted.
However, the writer cannot cite one instance
where, to his knowledge, the plan has proven
a failure. The chief obstacle in the way of the
full and lasting success of the Summer School
plan is the complete absence of a standard sys-
tem on which to found it. Of course, no two
teachers can successfully follow the same de-

Time and again song write/s after having put

over a success have attempted to duplicate the
feat, generally with little success. Johnny Black
and Fred Fisher, however, the writers of "Dar-
danella," have made an endeavor to dupli-
cate the "Dardanella" success in their new num-
ber, entitled "Dardanella Blues." The theory
advanced by Mr. Fisher is that "It took Milton
to write 'Paradise Lost,' and it also took Milton
to write 'Paradise Regained'," and maybe the
same rule holds good for "Dardanella."
"DADDY" BALLAD PROVES A HIT
Fred Fisher's latest ballad, "Daddy, You've
r.een More Than a Mother to Me," is proving
a distinct success, and the public seems quite
willing to accept a song that treats daddy as
a serious human being, as a change from the
It ng string of "Mother" songs. The large
volume of orders received for the number are
accepted as the best indication of its popularity.

as possible upon the chief features. The idle-

which hits the dealer severely also. That its
severity can be moderated or completely
eradicated, if the trade lends a hand, is the
opinion of the writer.
