That a great musical movement is afoot in Canada was affirmed by Dr. A. S. Vogt, Dr. James L. Hughes, an,d Mr. Duncan McKenzie, at the close of a fascinating demonstration of educa- tional p.honegraphi records at the To- ronto Conservatory of 11-Insic recently. The hall was fined to full capacity and the audience of teachers and friends listened with intense interest as it was shown how children in the junior grades could be introduced to the best music through the use of re- producing machines. Mr. Duncan McKenzie, 'director of music of the Toronto schools, suggest- ed to those in attentclance that they tell others of these demonstrations, as this one had been an inspiration to ihim, and he luiew that the course would be a joy and an inspiration to all teachers. Dr, Hughes, ex -Chief Inspector "ot Toronto schools, spoke of the need of spiritualizing the body through physi- cal culture, by having it develop beauty as well as -physical strength. The suggestion in beautiful music could be used to bring this about. Dr: Vogt, Principal of the Toronto Conservatory of Music, expressed his appreciation of the movement to de- velop the sense of rhythm in young children through the phonograph.
