- Notes:
- An allegorical map of the road to musical success. A host of shortcomings and mistakes including "Bohemianism," "Misrepresentation", "Lack of Preparation", "Bad Business Methods", and "Weak Morals" lead to "Oblivion", and the "River of Failure". But those who adopt the "Right System", attain "True Knowledge", and pass through the "Gate of Ideals", the golden lyre of Success beckons. The map "is adapted to musical education from an original drawing issued by the National Cash Register Company to point the road to business success." A copy of the NCR map can be found at http://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn89081022/1913-10-22/ed-1/seq-6.pdf
