Till-: AfcliLYIUU DAILY CITIZEN. THE VASTUS OF THE HEIV SPIRIT OF EDUCATION Asheville Schools and Teach- ers Not in the Rear.' THE PRACTICAL AND EDTJCA- TIONAL ADVANTAGES OF y - EXPRESSION. , Editor The Citizen: The impetus , of the new spirit ef education has long been felt throughout many large cities of the country and Asheville la not In the rear. Her teachers and schools are abreast with the foremost of the coun . try. The kindergarten, the normal and schools where manual training is a feature have for a number of years been here. , The success of the summer schools, begun last year, was so pleasing that ' the directors do not hesitate to- In crease their facilities for the offering , of yet wider opportunities to their teachers and others interested and ,now Asheville Is to be congratulated 'tor having secured the School of Ex agression of Boston, which Is to be here , during the month of July. Professor 4 Efigleston has tendered Dr. Curry the . use of the rooms of the Orange street v graded- school building, thus enabling , the school to have most excellent fac II titles for work. V( The work of the school Is systematic Ana progressive, condensed - courses .-art given at the summer sessions on tbx following subjects: Vocal expres- i lion, vocal training, harmonic ' and . pantomimic training, organic training, 4 the vocal interpretation of literature, Some of the practical advantages of ;j the study of expression as giyen by Dr, Curry are: ... , ... ,t , Expression enable man to commu :. nlcate more adequately with his fellow :t. men. 4 ... Jt trains the Voice ami agents of de livery so that speakers and teachers can economize their strength, be free from sore throats, .preserve their i health and do their work more easily ., and adequately. It enables man to embody his thoughts, feelings and Ideals, so as. .'not only to give them i others, but to test his own understanding and reali sation of them. f It brings the student Into a living re- , latlon with the masterpieces of art and literature, and enables him to as similate the experience of mankind. S. Expression furnishes a "laboratory 1 method," a practical and natural means of studying literature. It fur nlshes an artistic act for the' tealisa ' tlon and Interpretation of an artistic product. True vocal expression re qutres literature to.be assimilated for .th interpretation of Its- spirit;- The common analytic method of Studying . facts about literature violates the beat j methods of education. ? Mastery of expression gives the stu i dent an art to mould, entertain or .teach his fellow men. It enables a peaker to "tell the truth; the whole truth, and nothing but the truth." The fall for good teachers and public read ier is so great that, more than In any other fields, , mastery of expression brings financial reward. The educational advantages may be summarised as follows: Expression completes man's mental conceptions. No one can have ."clear, distinct, adequate and Intuitive lda" till he can express them. Exm-esslon testa the accuracy . of knowledge and causes assimllat'on in experience. :, v;. Expression gives man's faculties and powers "vigorous exercise In realizing thought and .feeling, stimulates men tal growth and increases capacity fcr experience. As breathing consists both In taking in and in giving out breath, so the mental life is deepened and strength- . ened not only by acquisition but by ex pression. Instruction or the recept'on of Ideas- alone cannot perform the work of true education. Expression discharges a higher function In edu eating Imagination, refining feeltng.ex erclslng man's powers, securing cul ture and . develoDlne character. . . "To know, man must do." . Expression reaulres man to use the first and fundamental tools of the soul his voice and body", and furnishes "manual training" of the highest kind. ; Expression Is a form of artistic en fleavor. Hence, its practice enables man to realize the nature of an artistic act and to enter into a truer and more sympathetic appreciation of all art. J Expression accentuates the natural co-ordination of thought, feeling, and will, and so develops harmony. Right practice in expression naturally correl ates the conscious with the uncons clous, the voluntary with the Involun tary, and develops all sides of man nature without Interfering with natu ral relations. . The instrumental means of vocal ex pression are vital parts of man's or ganism. The exercise and right use of the breathing, the voice and the bidy are directly related to health and most Important helpsjo physical develop ment. ' Work in expression corrects awk wardness, removes self-consciousness, gives self-possession, develops health secures control over mind and body and enables the Individual to develop in himself the experience of the race, It enables the student to understand the characterises of nature end to ftp ply to his own development Its meth ods and procestes. It prevents atrophy . of any faculty or power, and opens his eyes to read the meaning of nature and art. Expression makes a student con scious of his needs, and awakens him to a sense of his real power and possl- bllities. it shows the causes of failure and points out the path to. success, Training In expression awakens young men and women to the beauties of na. ture, the possibilities of art, and a re alisation of their own abilities and mission. , Asheville will appreciate Whatever of good shall come to her, and of course she will be delighted to have with her Dr. 8. B. Curry, instructor In elocution, Harvard and Tale divinity schools; Snow, professor of elocution, Newton theological Institution; librarian of the Boston Art club; dean of School of Ex pression. I. K. 8. SIR HUBERT PAW TO MR. DUNKLET - osmmshw HIS DISTINGUISHED POSITION AS A SCHOLAR OF THE R." C. M. ' . v ... Edltorv The Citizen: There having been some dispute recently as to my U- tie to call myself a graduate of the Royal College of Music, London, allow me to quote from a letter Just received from Sir Hubert Parry, the director of the Royal college: 'I am writing to Mrs. Dresser and I shall lay stress on your, distinguished position as a Scholar at the R. C. M and mention that I have reason to un derstand that the., word,, graduate is used in a different sense in America from what if Is here.and that as far as going through your course at the R. C. M. wlth distinction, you are as jp.ncfc entitled to the term as those vj .have Just passed through' an American con servatory. I hope this will satisfy her." In explanation of the above it should be stated that Sir Hubert's reference to my "distinguished position as Scholar at the R. C.M." means that In 1886 I gained in open competition one Of the free scholarships offered to and sought for by students all over the world, including Germany. Thl scholarship was tenable for three years, but at the expiration of the term it was extended for another year, giving me the advantage of four years of Instruction under the greatest mas ters In England free of cost, subject to severe examination three times a year. But at the conclusion of the course the American use Of the word gradu ate. Is not allowed In England. The title there Is exclusively confined to those, who have taken a degree at a university. The Royal College of Music holds annual public examine. lions; open to the whole world, wheth er students of the R. C. M. or not. and anyone passing this examination receives a 1 certificate of proficiency carrying. with it the title of associate of the Royal College of Music. But this does .not make ' such a person graduate, i There arc no graduates Of the' Royal college,'' or1 of any other col lege, conservatory or ' academy of music, or of any schools or colleges for general or special education jn Great Britain. As I said before, the term is exclusively confined to the uni versity degree holders. But inas much as I completed my extended four years' course at the R. C; M. "with distinction," Sir Hubert Parry con cludes that I am as much entitled to use the word graduate, In the Ameri can sense, as anyone who acquires It at an American conservatory; and with such high and final authority at my back, I shall continue to sign my self FERDINAND DUNKLET. Graduate of the Royal College of Music, London. CULTURE OF CORN IN NORTH CAROLINA BULLETIN ON THE SUBJECT BY PROFESSOR IRBY. i A very readable popular bulletin on corn culture in North Carolina has been prepared by Benjamin Irby, pro fessor of agriculture In the North Car olina college of agriculture and mechanic arts, and agriculturist of the North Carolina experiment sta tion. Professor Irby treats of corn cul ture under the following heads: Kinds of lands suited for corn culture; pre paration of the soli; when and how 'o plant; best fertilisers; best methods of cultivation; a good rotation for corn; selection and Improvement of seeds; protection against weevils and moths; the comparative food value of corn and other crops. This bulletin Is now In the hands of the printer. Any one may secure a copy of It by addressing George T. Winston, director, Raleigh, N. C. REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR. From the New York Press. Love Is. a longing for something you can't get till It gets you. No man Is fit to be a husband till he has got over being a lover. Ask a woman to let you kiss her when she has her veil on, and she will always raise It up so she can say "No" plainer. The world Is divided into two classes people you hope to get something out of and people who hope to gt some thing out of you. No man ever got any credit for ad vising a man to get married or for d vising him not to, and whichever he does, some woman will hate him for It. ; BACCALAUREATE SERMON OF THE. N. & C. INSTITUTE Preached by Rev. Dr. Law rence Yesterday. - THE SCRIPTURAL IDEAL OF FE MALE EDUCATION CONCERT THIS EVENING. The baccalaureate sermon to the pu pils of the Normal and Collegiate In stitute was delivered yesterday morn ing at II o'clock by Rev. Thomas Law rence, D. D 'president of the institute. Dr. Lawrence announced as his theme the scriptural ideal of female educa tion, as set forth by Solomon in the last chapter of Proverbs, from the 10th verse, and also the 18th verse of the second chapter of Genesis, which reads: "And the Lord said. It is not good that man should be alone; I will make an helpmeet for him." ' 'Woman," said he, "was not created to be either the drudge or the toy of man, but, to be his helpmeet. Let us, as teacher and taught, view Solomon's full length portrait of an ideal wo man. Each ox you must work out your own salvation and In the last results the salvation and education of man mean substantially the same thing and we are to help you to fit yourselves for living. Each must needs have a model. Solomon presents to us a form rarer than that of the Venus de Medici, a vision of true womanliness with which the most perfect product of the artist's pencil or the sculptor's chisel cannot compare. 'She glrdeth her lolni with strength, and strengthened her arms.' Thank God the time has come when woman is no longer to be re garded as 'too good for human nature's dally food,' "a 5 creature whom the breath of heaven must not visit too roughly. The lady of the text lives In a palace, but she 'layeth her hands to the Spindle - "Idleness is vulgar. To despise la- bor, no mattei1 what may be one's con ditlort in life, is pitiable and contempt ible. 'Her clothing is silk ana purple. She not only has a periectly ordered household, but she Is well dressed Whatever her station' no true woman can afford to be negligent or untidy In dress. 'She stretcheth out her hand to the poor' she Is kind and generous. As a crowning virtue 'She feareth the Lord." "Such a woman cannot fall to bv beautiful. To everyone is not glvtn the beauty of artistic symmetry of face and form, but it la given to all to have Ihat higher beauty, the beauty of spotless character and a holy heart. " "Tis only noble to be good. Kind hearts are more than coronets, And simple faith than Norman blood. "Such a life brings the noblest earth ly rewards. 'Her children arise up, and rail her blessed; her husband also, :ind he pralseth her.' Her own works praise her, she leaves behind her a holy influ ence and a Christlike Inheritance; 'ohc nhall rejoice in time to come." " ANNUAL CONCERT.
