THE PROGRESS OF THE AGEMUSIC AND FARMING

We live in a wonderful age, we have seen telephones, wireless telegraphy, flying machines, moving pictures, etc., grow up in our midst, but now further knowledge has been revealed to us by our students of pychology. Who would have ever dreamed that music could have aught to do with farming or machine building, etc. ? And yet on the best authority we are now informed that some music was created by the Divine mind for the purpose of inspiring those people engaged in the industries and crafts. The student of pychology maintains -that certain music awakens and clarifies certain njental tendencies, and by listening to music the people engaged in industries and crafts have those tendencies developed. With development comes a greater power than they possessed hitherto to peform their various tasks and greater mentality to execute their work in a gradually advancing spirit. This superiority will be easily noticeable amongst the workers who already take a keen -interest in music. Their music loving instincts have awakened their faculties, and one finds where the craftsman is a musician or very fond of music he is always a more inspired and enthusiastic worker. This subject is of vital interest, especially in view of the promisad visit to this town of those wonderful geniuses, Leo, Jan and Mischfl Cherniavsky, Violinist, Pianist, and 'Cellist. These young artists recently toured New Zealand, but did not pay this town a visit at the time. They rank amongst the greatest musicians of the world, and as a Trio, it is claimed they are the finest in the world. !

We hope that all those in our town and district interested in the progress of New Zealand will do their utmost to impress upon others the great desirability of not missing the Cherniavskys' Concert when they appear here next Monday, in the Star Theatre.
