8Mrs. Babcock Finds Many Places for Teachers.
10Charlotte Babcock, head of the International Musical and Educational Agency in Carnegie Hall, New York, has found excellent places for many teachers of music, as well as those engaged in other branches of educational work. Mrs. Babcock has also enabled students who come to New York to find the right teachers of singing and piano, and her advice about homes for the younger students has been invaluable. Mrs. Babcock is widely known on both sides of the Atlantic. Many of the foreign teachers arrive in New York bewildered because they do not know how to make their abilities known, but once they are introduced to Mrs. Babcock, they are sure of finding a niche that will bring them comfort and something more than that, provided, of course, that these foreigners come to America with the proper credentials.
12Mrs. Babcock has placed many teachers in the schools of the South and West, but she has many others for whom places have been found near New York. In the social world, too, Mrs. Babcock's abilities have made her a power. Hostesses can usually depend upon her judgment in sending artists who easily fill the requirements and fit into the "sets," however exclusive they may be. On application, circulars are sent to those living out of town.
14Bachmann is going to America in the autumn. About four years ago he gave a "farewell" tour there, but now it seems that he really did not mean it. People must revise their ideas of the signification of the word "farewell"; in musical circles it never means a last good-bye.—London Musical News.
