£50,000 for an Idea
A London man who gave the last 20 years of his life to teaching children the joy of dancing has not forgotten them in his will. He was Mr. Percy Broadbcnt Ingham and he was a wealthy insurance broker. Ho left a fortune of more than £70,000, and one day nearly £50,000 of it is to go to the Dalcroze Society for the teaching of eurhythmies. This word of many letters, describes an art invented by the famous Swiss professor, Jacquess Dalcroze. It means the learning of musical rhythm in such a way that when children have been 'sufficiently instructed they, on hearing a bar' of .music, or a phrase, or a melody, 1 will instinctively devise movements expressive of what the music means to them.
