American Singing

1t is just possible that there may not
be today as good singing among hegreat
middle class of the American people as
there was when congregational music
was the vogue and the old fashioned
singing school yet aorrished in all its
glory. The introduction Of high priced
church choirh hud a tendency to make
common people ashamed of their own
uncultured, nasal voices, and thus dis
couraged they give it up altogether
the attempt to make vocal music.
The right way would have been for
them to take mighty vow that they
would get rid of the unpleasant tones by
study and practice, but this course was
adopted by very few. Outside of pro-
fessionals we have fewer good singers in
the United States than there are in any
other civilized country. The majority
of people have been too busy heretofore
to pay attention specially to voice cul-
ture. The time has come, however, to
change this Our people, young and
middle aged, ought now to go in for
cultivating sweet tones in both the
speaking and singing voice. When that
is done, great national defect will be
remedied.
1t is now a good time to begin the
work, at the commencement of the long
evenings. The old fashioned neighbor-
hood singing classes might be resurrect-
ed, always with teacher who did not
sing through the nose. The universal
piano strumining might well be dropped
in many cases and plain, easy instruc-
tion in singing substituted. The at
tempt of Frank Damrosch to train the
tenement house population of New York
in vocal music is lesson both artistical-
ly and philanthropically. Mr.. Damrosch
is young musical enthusiast. He be-
ieves that if the very poor and hard
working could be trained to know and
love music as well as to make it for
themselves it would alleviate their hard
lot and lift them to brighter life. With
this idea he announced year ago that
he would give Sunday afternoon music
lesson weekly in one of the tenement
house districts
The experiment has succeeded beyond
his hopes. A dime lesson is charged,
and the income derived is sufficient to
pay all expenses and leave something
over. Damrosch was soon obliged to
organize three great singing classes, the
largest numbering 1000 pupils. In the
interval from October to May the great
choruses learned to read music fairly
well at sight.

Hi There!
Burlington Earth:

Burlington Earth:
Think these things over, and when
you are casting about for another can
didate for the legislature, select farm
er, good, staunch reliable man who
has vertebra, who will influence the
machine, and not allow it to influence
him, and pull and yank him all. over
the political field. When the bill
against double taxation comes up again,
as it is pretty sure to, let the farmers be
strong enough to secure good legislation
in their own favor, and see to it that
the burden of taxation is properly dis
tributed, and that they are not to be
forever compelled to carry more than
their share of it.
Seems like we have heard this be-
fore, sometime and somewhere. How
ever, let the Earth have due credit. 1t
is pretty good idea to send somebody
to the legislature who can't be pulled
and yanked all over the lots but the
best way to accomplish that is to send
men of brains and integrity. In that
case it will matter little whether they
|
carry hayseed in the hair, wear the
mechanics apron or the lawyers gown.

Mr.. Oscar Wilde has been SHINING con
siderably during his life, but it is said
that he has now made up his mind to
come to America and sin scientifically
and note the consequences in order that
he may be the benefactor of mankind.
This is all very well if Mr. Wilde wants
little more neat advertising but why
should he come to America to sin scien-
tiically? Possibly there may be as much
science attached to SHINING in Europe.
