is not only a matter of entertainment, but it is
a tremendously vital education as well. The man
who goes through life without taking the time
and trouble to bring himself into contact with
music is like a person who read a book and
omitted a chapter. Consequently, if he were to
give his resume of this book he could tell every-
thing that happened in all the chapters ex-
cept one. Life, to be well rounded and com-
plete, must include musical education to a point
secured only through correct interpretations of
the classics such as are given by great artists
or through the medium of instruments such as
the reproducing piano."
"Americans," says Pouishnoff, "do not realize
the tremendous advantage which they possess
in opportunities for musical education. The re-
producing piano offers the best illustration of
this. In no other country on the face of the
earth have the great middle classes an oppor-
tunity of enjoying music in their homes through
the medium of the reproducing pianos. Elec-
tricity is the reason, and in this country it is
available almost everywhere.
Therefore, the
average man has it in his power to purchase and
install this type of instrument in his own home,
but in Europe this is true only of the wealthy
classes."

T.eff Pouishnoff, famous Russian pianist, who
is now on a concert tour in this country, is a
strong believer in music as a necessary part
of life, and is particularly impressed with the
opportunities presented to Americans for mu-
sical education through various channels. The
pianist is especially enthusiastic regarding the
possibilities of the reproducing piano in bringing
into the home the best in music properly in-
terpreted, and in a recent interview said:

PORTLAND, ORK., December 31.—On the counters
of the sheet music dealers of the city has ap-
peared the Sherman, Clay & Co.'s new student
lesson book, compiled by James Haley. The
dealers say that the new publication is an im-
provement on anything in that line that they
have handled in the past and is proving a good
seller. The method of keeping the student's
practice record is greatly improved and space is
allowed for the teacher to give an outline of the
merit of the pupil's work. Space is also allowed
for a list of music to be secured, together with
the teacher's recommendation. The book, ac-
cording to the dealers and teachers who have
seen the publication, say that it fills a long-
felt want.
"Blossom Time" Popular
PORTLAND, ORE., December 31.—The music of
"Blossom Time," published by Leo Feist, Inc.,
was in great demand during the Christmas holi-
days, due to the appearance of the beautiful
opera at the Heilig Theatre during Christmas
week, when the company played to capacity
houses. "The Song of Love" led in the sales,
