HARMONY BY CORRESPONDENCE
By C. C. Lewis
Now that is something like. If harmony can be successfully taught by correspondence, by all means let everybody take a course, including conference committees and college faculties. And I feel sure that a systematic presentation of the principles upon which men harmonize with one another could be successfully presented in a series of lessons, and could be profitably pursued to the uplifting of society; but that is neither here nor there. I am not talking about that kind of harmony. The harmony which the Fireside Correspondence School proposes to teach through correspondence is music harmony, and we are sure it can be taught successfully in this way. The first lessons of the series are just from the press, and are prepared by Miss Barbara M. Knox, daughter of Elder W. T. Knox, treasurer of the General Conference. Miss Knox is thoroly qualified for this work, having completed four years' study of the subject, one year with Prof. Wm. J. McCoy, of the University of the Pacific, San Jose, California, and three years with Prof. George Simmons and Howard Thatcher, at the Peabody Conservatory of Music, Baltimore, Maryland. Familiarity with the rudiments of music, and a certain skill in playing, such as will enable the pupil to play the exercises of the lessons on piano or organ, are necessary for the successful pursuit of these studies. We have printed a few extra copies of the first lessons, which may be had free by those really interested who will first write for them, together with the Annual Announcement and full information in regard to terms, etc. Address the Fireside Correspondence School, Takoma Park, Washington, D.
