A per formance ,tiitr foreign to the music ian's province, as impersonal as an unsigned article. Nevertheless, many singers sing to the Grapho phone. It there is no glorv ill it. no gam of reputation or pleasun ol showered plaudits, u i lucrative. It is not beautiful or edifying to sec the singer at the Graplinphnne. A stranger's wonder would likely lie excited by his unties. The singer t ikes his stand at a certain distance from the mouth of the gius. Now he throws hi horn a ad be. head iKiisei k he now thrusts it forward, now es it this way and now that. All this would look redictilous belorean audience, but is necessary before the Graphophone. The force of the note must lie accommodated to the mnehine. It t hwti nib for unusual foroejin propulsion, tin M in propulsion, (Phis head back singer must hoi that his voice niav not strike tlx diaphragm of the (Iniphophonc too violently; il on the contrary the mu sic is soft and gentle, the head must lie brought nearer the receiving horn -.i as to make due impn ssion on the . . . t i .i 'wax lis sort music calls tor 1 . uiie adjustment ol the head, that for another. Moreover the distance must be just rinht. This varies nc- cording to the si the machine, I. ut the irranlionnoiie -inirer, iikc um " 1 1 base ball nlaver, and the horsu hick- ey, must lie an evict judge ni dis tance. As a rule Burners who are prac ticed in that art know what is need ed. They acquire an instinctive sense of the force of sound in plat form performances; vet all have to undergo some training liefore fneimj a Graphophone. They must lie taught how to pose the head,. Many records are spoiled in training. furthermore, the artist inusl be in perfect voice; there must be no trace of hoarseness, no nasal quality, or other delect or the record is u-e-Iess. The machine has been brought to such a degree ot perfection that it makes note of every slightest sound, or lack of sound. A singer before an audience may excuse his hoarseness, and find sympathy; the audience will take his best and, probably enjoy it in some degree. But the ( Iraphophone accepts no ex cuses. It gives back the hoarseness as it hears if. The reproduction is rediculous and entirely marred. A record that is flawed must he thrown away. On the other hand, the ex cellences of music are reproduced in their degree. If the poor singing, is rediculous the good is given back with no loss of richness or beauty of tone, or fineness of phrasing. Various is, the compensation of (Jraphophone singers, but all, even the poorest, are well paid. The fact is no Mor singer need apply here. The Graphophone manufacturers carry a staff of men and women on their books, but all must lie trained in the art of voice expression. An untrained singer would spoil too many records, and his lx'st would not be worth much in graphophone entertainment. Nor can these artists be constant ly employed.

Those who expect to attend school this (all, even il they have chosen their place of attendance, can learn from the Bloomeburg catalog much that will be of advantage to them wherever they go; and il they have not made a choice, they w ill do well to remember that no school is as good as the best. Prices are extremely low consid ering the advantages offered. If they were lower, we do not see how a faculty like the one found at Bloomsburg could be maintained. The faculty is the school. Let no body lie deceived by thinking that excellence lies in carpets, furniture, and such appliances which are often strongly advertised to cover up oth er weaknesses. The Bloomsburg school has till the conveniences that In-long to a well-equipped school, in cluding passenger elevator, but her chief boast is her faculty, her meth ods and hergradtutes. Results prove the excel lence of a school. We ad vise all our young people to study the facilities ottered at Bloomsburg before deciding to go elsewhere.
