Music for
Reform

| a movement has been started at
Richtield Springs, N. Y, which may
and certainly ought to become ma
tional and even world wide. 1t in
wolves the great question of how to
spend money so that it will do the
greatest good to the greatest number
The originator of this movement is
Robert W. Taller, New York million
alre, who, with his talented family,
has spent the summers of several years
past at the famous watering resort. Mr..
Taller makes no pretense of being
| philanthropist and shrinks from any
publicity in connection with his many
generous acts. The people of the
pretty central New York village, how
ever, affectionately style him
The Father of Richneld Springs.
For number OF seasons he and his
accomplished wife led in movements
which would tend to aid the younger
residents of the village and much good
resulted. Associations were main
tanned in which young men were
taught in the different branches of ed
ucation and instructed in different
trades. Some Of these are now skilled
mechanics and others hold responsible
positions in the business world
The scope of this influence upon the
people generally was not broad enough
10 satisfy Mr.. and Mrs. Taller, and they
determined to inaugurate something
that would reach farther. Mrs. Taller

tendency OF musical education. Here
was the opportunity for which thew

possible for every man and woman.
boy and girl in Richfield Springs to be-
come proficient In playing some instru-
ment. The Richfeld Springs Musical
Association was formed and Prof
Frank Thompson. formerly of the Ma
rine Band at Washington, was secured
as instructor. This was a year ago
Now the association has two brass
bands, one of twenty pieces, the other
or thirty-two, a marine drum corns In
which are dozen boys, and a ladies'
orchestra of twenty instruments. Each
organization is now able to give con
certs and the guests at the place. many

1T IS THE DREAM

MILLIONAIRE

tire enterprise and its success is owing
to his generosity
However this may be, 1t is certain
that the purpose of the New York mil
lionaire is to continue the work of in
teresting the people of Richfield in Sc
curing musical educations and to make
II possible for them to become pro-
ficient in the charming art. He hopes
to make the place an object lesson for
other communities and 1t is reasonable
to believe that he holds the opinion
that other wealthy people will emu
late his example
The Beneticent Effect of Such Work
would certainly be inestimable Music
is always refining and elevating A
man or woman who can play an in
strument well is sure of social recog-
milton wherever he or she may be. A
musical education aids one in enter
tanning and in making the home life
pleasant Many shadows would be dis
PEELED from the households of the
country if the father, or mother. or
both of them could play some musical
instrument. Dizziness, awkwardness.
coarseness and ignorance will speed
from the charms of music like the
brooding spirit of darkness from the
breaking sunlight. Music softens the
passions and improves the intellect.
II inspires courage and makes human
ity better and nobler in every way It
brings quiet to the restless, joy to the
sorrowing, comfort to the lonely and
energy to the slothful. 1t is the in
spiration of youth and the solace of
age. 1t is one of the golden keys which
often unlocks the door of the citadel
of success. 1t was Schwab's musical
ability, as well as his mechanical abil-
itS which first attracted the attention
of Carnegie.
The plan successfully started by the
modest millionaire at Richfield Springs
should be inaugurated in every COM
munity in this country. The wealthy
could not spend their extra dollars in
a better cause. The people would take
kindly to the scheme. In few years
we would be a nation of musicians and
there would be far less of rudeness,
misery and depravity. Musical asso-
Citations should be formed in every
place on the lines of the one now or
ganized in Richfield. Competent in
structors should be secured and mem
bers of both sexes included in the
membership. Politeness, and refine
ment in speech and action will follow
as the associations continue.
Mr.. Tailer's idea is new, so far as
its manner of execution is concerned.
but 1T is so plausible and reasonable
that every one is forced to commend it.
May 1t succeed beyond the fondest ex-
pectations of its promoter.
