In recent years many attempts have been made by vocal teachers to "get
together." As nearly as can be ascertained this getting together means
that all shall teach in the same way, that all shall agree on the
disputed points in voice training, or that certain articles of faith to
which all can subscribe, shall be formulated; but when it comes to
deciding whose way it shall be or whose faith shall be thus exalted,
each one is a Gibraltar and the only perceptible result is an
enlargement of the individual ego. And so it endeth.
