4 We, The Women
BY RUTH MILLETT
It’s women like Mrs. Walter
Pearson of Liberty, Mo., who
make life tough for other women.
Mrs. Pearson is the young wom
an who recently had her picture
in the papers after she had given
birth to twins in a singularly non
chalant manner. Not only did she
skip the formality of calling in a I
doctor, but when her husband
came home two hours after the
twins’ arrival, he found his wife
sitting on the davenport peeling
potatoes. The newest members of
the family were lying beside her.
So long as that story is remem
bered, it is going to be a bit hard
for a woman to make much of a
story out of her “ordeal.”
It’s going to be especially hard
on the mothers who have been
holding their bridge table audi
ences spell-bound telling about
hov their doctors made them get
out of bed the next day.
It’s these “super women’- who
always make it hard for the aver
age woman to find anything to
brag about.
They can 200 quarts of vegeta
bles, while the average woman
feels good about a few glasses of
jelly. They can turn their hus-"
bands’ old suits into fashionable
"suits for themselves.
Nb matter how good a woman
thinks she is, there’s always a
“super woman” to put her to
shame.

In order to be eligible to enter
the national piano playing audi -
tions the pupils have to be pre
pared to play at least 10 numbers
from memory in true technical
phases; at least 35 local students
will be entering the National audi
tions while 80 students from here
are .eligible to enter the district
and state contests.
The American College of Musi
cians gives diplomas to teachers
and concert artists and the Na
tional Guild of Piar.o Teachers
recognizes students with certifi
cate Of many kinds. Performance
is graded on points of rhythm
accuracy, phrasing, dynamics,
style. The National Fraternity of
Student Musicians is under the
supervisory guidance of the
American College of Musicians.
This year for the first time since
the war, fraternity pins are being
issued. Teachers received them at
Christmas time and the young
people will earn theirs at audition
time.
The president of the Guild, I. L.
Allison of Austin, Texas, founded
the National Auditions in 1929 as
the surest way of inducing intelli
gent progress. There are 72 pos
sible goals, attainable through in
dividual merit, not in competitive
contests. The Guild grows stead
ily without any membership
drives, is available to any piano
teacher in good professional
standing in his community, is in
corporated as a non-profit mem
bership organization. It publishes
a 400 page yearbook an annual
syllabus, a students handbook, an
explanation to parents, monthly
notices, and sends the Musical
Courier to every one of its mem
bers.
In New York City thirty judges
each working simultaneously rate
hundreds of pianists of all kinds,
day after day, while out in the
Rockies the strains of a Beetho
ven Sonata are listened to with
deep sympathy by a judge who
knows that this may mark the
beginning of a new pianistic ca
reer. Portland, Maine, and Port
land. Oregon have flourishing
chapters. Three towns with the
name of Columbus boast National
Guild chapters. Geography makes
no difference. The day the adju
dicator arrives the pianist is cen
