Too Much Piano

Professor Waetzoldt, of Berlín, lias discovered that girls practice piano playing far more than is good for their health. Professor Waetzoldt should be enshrined as a benefactor of the race by all city people in their thin walled houses. He says only 10 per cent. of the girls who drum pianos have any talent for music. The others are forced to drum at the expense of their own and other people's nervous systems, often injuring their health seriously. Practice should not be begun till the twelfth year. It is not necessary that the world should have feeble, mechanical pianists, but it is necessary that our girls should be healthy in bram and body. When any part of a girl's education has to be given np on account of her health the professor recommends that it be the piano, in which the rest of the world will agree witli him.
