OAKES
Variations — Oake, Oakbolt, Oakley,
Oakover, Oakshot, Oakslade, Oker,
Nokes.
Racial Origin—English.
Source—A locality.
Here is another group of family
names belonging to the locality classi
fication. One and all of these names
apparently sprang up simultaneously
and quite naturally in nearly all parts
of England, at least in all parts' where
oak trees grew. Consequently the pos
session of this name is no guarantee
of relationship, even a remote one,
with other persons bearing 1
name or ones similar to it.
The original forms of the
course, were nearly always
by words that show it was
merely a descriptive phrase,
old records we find the Norman pre
fixes “del” and “de,” meaning “of,”

GOODWIN
Variation—Godwin.
Racial Origin—Anglo-Saxon.
Source—A given name.
There is no particular distinction in
being able to trace one’s family name ;
back to a Norman-French origin in old j
England. Probably a majority of Eng- ,
lish family names are derived from
Norman sources, which is strange at '
first thought, considering that at no '
time was the bulk of the population in
England Norman.
The paradox is explained by the
fact that the Normans', being for sev- [
eral centuries' the rulers of the land, !
dominated it in the matter of language
and names, though numerically weak- j
er than the Anglo-Saxon element, un
til finally they were absorbed, and fol-;
lowing the
their old land, Normandy, drifted will
ingly into the “melting pot.”
Thus, during this period of domin
ance of the French tongue, say
through the twelfth and thirteenth
centuries, the historical records show
a very small minority of the old Anglo-
Saxon given names. Anglo-Saxon
names', indeed, disappeared for a time
more completely even than Anglo-
Saxon speech.
But here and there they were to be
found. Among these rare instances
are several Godwins, spelled variously
. “Godewin,” “Godwyne” and “Godun.”
They became familiar names, as did
other given names, by the addition of
the termination “son” or the prefixing
of the Norman “fitz” with the same
meaning, and in the course of time
these again have been dropped.
The form Goodwin is explained by
the fact that the “o” in Godwin origin
ally was pronounced long, as in “hole,”
and that the spelling “oo” also at one
time had the same pronunciation.

A Personal Instrument.
The general popularity of the piano,
that instrument which has long been a
classic unit of the furniture of the
home, is not the result of some arbi
trary choice of the householder. Ac
cording to a famous pianist the satis
faction which the listener finds in this
instrument is the result of the com-
I plex tonal effects which it is capable
of producing, and also of its peculiar
adaptability for conveying fully and
directly the message of the performer.
What a remarkably personal instru
ment the piano is. It is capable of im
pressing upon auditors with unique
thoroughness the personality of the
artist or the character of a work. If
music has any value that fact may be
determined by playing it over on the
piano. We frequently hear composers
say that their compositions for orches
tra show to advantage only when pre
sented by an orchestra, and that they
should never be judged when played
upon the piano. This, it seems, is only
an excuse for hiding utterly -worthless
stuff under a maze of orchestral color
ing. If a composition has- real musical
attributes these may be easily discern
ed when played upon the piano. In
fact the piano is- such a peculiar per
sonal instrument that it is possible
for the works of certain composers to
be properly set forth only

There is plenty of work to do. Busi

business. It is just more or less re
spectable graft. But it cannot be leg
islated out of existence. Laws can do
very little. Law never dees anything
constructive. It can never be more
than a policeman, and so it is a waste
of time to look to our state capitals or
