THE PHONOGRAM 5. IT SAVES TIME AND MONET. Self-tuition with the aid of a book has proved a most inadequate method of learning a language. A living in- structor is expensive, especially a good one, and at the rate of two or three lessons a week, the tuition would soon amount to much more than the price of one of our scholar- ships, and no such mastery of the language could be gained as we guarantee to graduates of our Schools. Besides the saving of money, it may be said that oral instruction is almost taken out of the list of preferred methods of language instruction if the student is at all desirous of saving time. Students by our method can study during their spare time or during working hours ; no time is lost in keeping appointments, nor does the student have to prepare for the reception of the instructor. [ To be continued] MUSICAL MUSIC FOR THE MUSICLOVER. 56. Overture to Semiramide. This is a beautiful selec- / tion from the opera of the same name, composed by Rossini and first produced in 1823. Our Record, by the Edison Band, is one of the treats in store for the musiclover who has yet to hear it as produced by the New Moulded Process. 85. Selecriorrfrom Robin Hood. Composed by Reginald DeKoven, a writer of to-day. This is a light opera and has been very favorably received in this country. This, too, is a Band Record.
