PATRIOTIC SONGS.
Suggestion That the Public school

Suggestion That the Public School
Children Be Taught to Sing Them.
To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
On the evening Of February q a little
party was gathered together not far from
18th street to celebrate tn. birthday of
Washington, and, incidentally, that of some
other people. It was an enthusiastically
patriotic company-the more so because Of
the rumors OF war which are engrossng
the minds Of all Americans just now-and
every one put on the national colors with q
spirit Of love and pride. Some one sug-
gested that we sing patriotic songs. and
this was unanimously adopted. 1t tran
spired, however, that not a copy of any of
our national songs was in the house, and
that not one of US knew the words of any
Of them. The pianist could play them and
we were all, of course, familiar with the
airs. Some Of us came out fairly well In
America" but the Star Spangled Ban
ner" shortly resolved itself into La, la,
la, la. la" Columbia, thu Gem of the
Ocean," was still worse, while Hail CO.
Il mbia, Happy Land" was an undiscovered
country to US all after we had sung the
first four lines, and many did not know the
first line of the splendid Battle Hymn of
the Republic"
We were all native-born Americans. A
large proportion of the company were de-
ecendants OF revolutionary patriots. We
had among our number representatives Of
the army, the navy and various profess
sions. Our ages ranged from fifteen to
fifty. We were a company of at least aver
age intelligence and culture. AS l said be-
fore, We were enthusiastically patriotic,
and yet not one Of US could sing one of our
national songs.
Imagine a party Of French who could not
sing the 'Marseillaise," or of Germans who
were ignorant Of the Watch on the
Rhine
Is it not melancholy commentars--not
on our patr1otfsm-for no one dare question
the love of every American for his country
wa know 1t Is the best in the world-but
upon the teachings in our public schools?
ana beg leave to respectfully suggest TO
the superintendent of public instruction
that certain time be set apart for the
call 1t to the attention of ths Daughters
OF the Revolution and to the other patriotic
societies, and ask that some concerted ac-
ton be taken whereby these songs shall be
sung In all our public schools on stated oc-
casions, that thu next generation may be
letter Informed than is this, for 1 can but
feel that ours was representative gather
Ing and that the majority are not wiser in
that direction than were we.
That little company was much surprised
and chagrinsd at this astonishing discov-
cry. and each and every one vowed a vow,
like the famous Lord Bateman, and 1t is
hoped. like him. will keep it strong" to
learn the words OF America" the Star
Spangled Banner" Hail Columbia" Co

Battle Hymn of the Republic before the

his resignation to the congregation, to take

taken by the members OF the church in re-
spect TO the resignation, and will not be

the congregation may ask the pastor to re-
consider his determination. Whether such
action will have the desired effect is, OF
course. matter of conjecture. The rela-
tions between pastor and congregation are
entirely cordial. The only reason Mr.. Ste

ious to enter a divinity seminary, in con-
junction with his ministerial work. which
he will continue in some city which offers
the advantage he seeks.
Mr.. Stevenson has refused to allow his
name to be considered in connection with
the assistant pastorate OF two of the
wealthiest and best-known Baptist churches
in the United States. He has been in Ana
costa for nearly five years. succeeding
Rev. Mr.. McCullagh as pastor OF the Ana
costa Church, that being his first charge
He has been an earnest worker, and has
done much ID advance the church interests
At one time he was assistant pastor of
Englewood Baptist Church, Chicago. His
future plans are not fully decided upon.
