With Francis Rogers shortly re turning from' the charge of the American School of Music, at Fon-talnebleau, comes the Interesting news of his appointment on the staff of teachers at the Master School of Music, on Remsen st. The fact that R. Huntington Woodman is again to give his course in harmony and theory of music calls to mind the romantic beginnings of the school in the old Packer house at 2 Grace Court, a fine old mansion and landmark which, alas, like too many on Brooklyn Heights, has made way for apartments.

But If the old Packer house itself is forever gone, the things that happened there survive its passing. For there-4ived Mrs. Harriet Packer of Packer Institute fame, and afterwards Mrs. Packer, whose love of music Is responsible for the ex lstence of the Master School. In the Mrs.

W. S. Packer at Musical I iiiiwhiiimw lillf" New reserved three tubles In dinner boxes for the banquet which will b9 given at the Hotel Aator In bonor oi Gen. John J. Pershing on the occasion of his retirement from active service.

The dinner is to be given on Sept. 9 and a number of dls tingulshed guests as already an nounced will be among those present. Mrs. Theodore Martin Hardy's foresight has made possible the at- The old Ppckcr House is shown in the upper corner of the picture. This shows the entrance from Grace Court.

Mme. Aurelia Jaeger of Vienna was the first teacher of voice at the Master School. I IlXlSiiSih approve! talent and serious purpose to take the four years' cour.se and graduate by puynient of only a nominal sum. Caret ul thinkers have come to believe that Ideals such as Afrs Packer's have real vitality and cannot die, even though trie man or womnn in whose brain tho idea started has passed on to other fields of usefulness. And if nteuls tio have this.

Imperishable vitality, then the majestic old house that stood serenely on the waterfront and faced tho challenge of downtown New York Is keenly alive, and In its best and biggest sense lives on. RE I iiiiiiidrfjl.i'i In Cs in lli! great Packer musvc room were held the first voice trials, and there the plans for thje school developed. Realizing first how important it was that young singers should be able to be taught by masters who knew what they were about, anu second that even singers with the proper method are far from being musicians in the real meaning of the word, Mrs. W. S.

Tacker, herself a professional singer and musician, planned the four years' course which is now being given at the Master School. Her dream was thut not only should the voice be trained by the best teachers obtainable bui that the study of singing should include theory, harmony, diction, repertoire and a knowledge of the foreign languages. Each graduate of the school must have a knowledge of musical composition and compose at least one song. It is inspiring to think that one of the first people who went to the old house on Grace Court to advUt with Mrs. Packer on this project wat Edward MacDowell, who has forever the Beginning of Her Career.

I I blessed lhe school with his approval Mrs. Packer was wise enough to take into her counsel'not only the eminent musicians of her day but several people who are only names to the present generation, but people to whom Brooklyn is everlastingly indebted. Mr. and Mrs. Henry K.

Sheldon were among the first to be interested in the school, and it is to then' that the school owes its first endowment. Had it not been for them, perhaps Mrs. Packer'b dream mlKht not have been realized. For many years, too, the school enjoyed the leadership of Mis. Camden C.

Dike, who had the rich and heaven-sent faculty of interesting others in what ever interested her. And It seeim significant of the spirit of the school that Mrs. Brockway. formerly Mary Packer, and daughter of the tounaer of the school, is now the president of the board of directors, and that Mrs. Norman Dike is an active member of that same board.

Thut the work of the older generation passes into the hand," of the present. It was almost entirely through the efforts of Miss Emma Louies that the school was able to buy and pay for its present loveb and suitable home on Kemsen Here presides Miss Elsie Bifhoi. the principal, herself associated both with Packer Institute and the Master School. So even if tho old mansion on Grace Courf. with Its gracious rooms -itnl hanging gardens.
