NOTED -CATHOLIC
ORCHESTRA COMING
rATHOLICS of,thq United States
have a special Interest in the
coming of the noted orchestra
of the Academy of St. Cecilia of Rome,
to be known familiarly as tho St. Co-
cilia Orchestra, for the academy itself
is one 'of the most venerable institu
tions established by the church. Its
origin dates back to1566, in tho papacy
or Pius v., by whom it was founded,
though its existence is usually dated
from 1584, In which year Its charter
was confirmed by Gregory XIII., that
great friend of art and education. The
pilgrim who to-day vls'lts Rome has
a substantial reminder of tho piety of
this Pope In the Gregorian chapel at
fit. Peter's. Ho it was, too, who built
the Qulrlnal Palace; whoro the King
of Italy now lives, and the beautiful
fountains of the Piazza Novanha nro
striking testimony to his- love of art.
Gregory XIII. established or endowed
more than twenty colleges in Rome,
Including tho Collegium, Romanum
and the School of Ignatius Loyola.
The Academy of St. Cecilia, the
original name of which was tho Con
Cigazlbne del Muslcl dl Roma sotto
l'lnvocozlone dt Sta. Cecilia (the Con
gregation of the Musicians of Rome
under the Invocation of St. Cecilia),
as one of these Institutions which
had enjoyed a special protection. Tho
membership rolls opened with the
names of the great masters of the
music of the church, Paiestrlna him
self e&fl. practically all the. well known
composers of the Palestrina-Nanlnl
school. From the foundation up to
the present time more than 4,000 Illus
trious names In music have been car
ried on the rolls of the academy, -the
membership embracing not only the
most distinguished Italians but In the
iiinoUti.Ut century suoy illustrious
foreign musicians as well, Including
Richard Wagner, the Abbe Liszt,
Charles Gounod, composer of "Faust,"
and many others.
The original officers were a Cardinal
protector, a president (usually some
distinguished nobleman), a directing
council of four members' representing
the four sections of the academy, com
position, the organ, slnfelas and Instru
mental music, besides the usual array
of minor officials and 'professors for
the reproduction In color. The prize
will, liowevcr.vbo awarded on the merit
of the picture itself.
Tho Dana Water Color medal will be
awarded to the best work In water
color. Tho award Is for boldness, sim
plicity and frankness of work, whether
he picture bo a landscape, marine.
architectural or figure piece,
Thero is no limit to tho number of
works to bo hung. Tho academy will
dismantle its walls to provide space
ror every accepted work. The stand-
ard of the exhibition will bo high and
. .. . .---H
not, howewr, a school In tho strict
sense of tho word, but moro of an
examining Institution for all profes
sional musicians. By a papal decree
of 1689 all musicians wero required to
ooserve the statutes of tho academy
and n later decree of 1709 ordained
that its license was neceseary beforo
an aspirant could practise his profes
sion. Admission to membership in the
academy was reserved for chapel
masters, organists, public singers of
standing and well known Instrumen
talists. Corclll, for Instance, the
famous violinist and composer for that
instrument, was head of tho Instru
mental section in 1700.
Tho Academy held every year a
grand festival on St. Cecilia's day at
which compositions by its members
wero performed by tho composea and
their fellow members. In 1700 a fes
tival in Honor of St. Anna was' added
to Its calendar, nnd In 1771 a "Small
festival of St. Cecilia." In 1839 the
title of "Academy of Gregory .XVI."
was bestowed upon tho Academy and
two years later It had the honor of
performing Rossini's "Stabat Mater"
for the first time In Italy in its en
tirety; Plus IX, who became Pope in 1816
bestowed the .epitaph "pontifical"
upon the Academy and encouraged
the first attempt to form a real "llceo
muBlcale" or music school in connec
tion with it. The Government, how
over, refused to grant the subsidy to
the school, nor was the effort made In
1857 by Professor Bornla ony more
successful.
In 1869 two young members of tho
institute, Giovanni Sgambatl nnd Et-j
tore Pennelll finally opened free
classes for piano and violin In the
quarters of the Academy and in-the
following year they obtained from
Cardinal Dt Plotro; then Protector of
the Academy, his official sanction for
their undertaking which was pro
nounced in a decree dated May 23, 1870.
Sgambatl In later life became recog
nized as tho foremost musician of
Italy, and it was from this small be
ginning of free classes, encouraged
and officially sanctioned by the Church
that there grew the present Lyceum

TO SUPPLANT BOOKS WITH FILMS
Uutn a plan announced oy

Co,, publishers of school text
books and the Universal Film Mnnu
facturlng Company, visualization of
the contents of textbooks will be made
a part of tho regular routine in
schools nnd colleges of the Unltrd
States within tho next few months.
For years tho films havo been
considered as n means of Instruction
In the schools, but no decisive step has
been taken becauso of the great ex
pense Involved In the construction of
fireproof booths.
In many cities. It Is thought, tho
films will entirely supplant text-books
In certain branches of school study.
No better means of teaching the
younger generation geographical nnd
historical subjects has been discovered,
educators havo agreed. Theso us
well ns the more technical branches
are particularly adaptable In the
screen form.
Prominent educators, men influen
tial In tho film production end, and
others Interested In tho development
of the methods of Instruction In the
schools, have long maintained that the
motion picture stood as an Ideal nieans-l
of instructing students of all ages nnd
degrees. The progress of tho move

weighty, reason.

recent months a portable projection
machine which, whllo It meets all tho
requirements .of tho lire underwriters,
con ibe used In any school room under
tho supervision of either the Instructor
or one of tho students. It was be
causo of this' machine that executives
of the publishing hotiho and the film
company decided to begin a campaign
by which it Is hoped to place pictures
as a means ot Instruction In at least
SO per cent, of all schools.
In selecting tho topics upon which
films will Do produced, care was taken
tov.chooso only those which would
lcavo the most lasting impression' with
those to whom they were shown.
Eventually tho film library nvollable
to the schools and colleges will em
brace every subject now being taught,
but for tho present, nnd as a start,
thofc subjects which aro particularly
adaptable for the films will be pro
duccd.
Theso Include practically all th
sciences engineering, medicine, bot
any, anatomy, histology, bacteriology,
physics, chemistry, physical geography,
"zoology, physiology, aiid kindred sub
jects. All branches of tho subjects
named will be filmed, so that a com-

In anticipation of such a demand for

Among these are a series of pictures on

be seen by comparing them with the
drawing by Pontormo in this group
Tho work by Pontormo is alto in red
chalk and shows the Madonna with
tho Christ Child, Saint Elizabeth with
the infant Saint John, Saint Krancla
kneeling, and a female martyr. It Is
a mannered, arrangement (the figure,
being bent into arbitrary poses ac.
cording to a recipo of composition
rather than according to nature)
which pleases, however, by the per
fectlon of ItV balance and Its happily
contrasting lines. Berenson places the
tlmo of this drawing at about 1530
while F. M. Clapp doubts If It be en
