Music
Twas Emerson who wrote, II think
sometimes, could only have music
on my own terms, could live in a
great city, and know where / could
60 whenever l wished, the ablution
and inundation Of musical waves,
that were bath, medicine" In
our own hearts we all can truly feel
deeply his thoughts and yet do we
realize the Importance OF raising the
musical standard Of our town to a
higher attitude, the necessity OF CO.
operation In this excellent work? III
each town, however small, should de-
termine to make their place center
OF musical attraction, it would not be
long ere America would be famed for
its advantages in this direction as
Europs is today. In some countries
the study OF music Is compulsary--so
1t should be here. We need more in
dividual self culture In music for the
sake of our own community, for the
sake OF Vinita. Some argue that
music is an art and an accomplish
ment to be enjoyed only by the higher
or richer classes, uut is not the love
and feeling and happiness of the
working man as dear to bis home as
to the monied mans? There must be
an awakening TO the fact chat music
is necessary for the development Of a
town to a height OF perfect culture
and refinement. 10 developed music
there is a field large enough for all
efforts Of human fancy.
s'In sweet music is such art.
Killing care and grief of heart,
Fall asleep or hearing die"
Our sister city has so encouraged
this art OF music that they now
maintain club, almost one hundred
members, which started from only
ten and have succeeded 10 bringing
to their town some renowned
musicians. A man can never be more
than his aspirations, II he aspires 10
culture, education and refinement no
matter what his Environments may be
they will lead to that one enc, but
how much more good 1ozen can do
working together for that same up
building, Paris is noted for its we'll
kept parks, avenues. boulevards ana
homes, but every Partisan deems II
his duty to add to the beauty OF that
city, even the coal dealer makes beau
tiful his windows and studies to
please the eye. So we should all strive
with united efforts to make beautiful
our little city In musical way. There
is an abundance.of buried talent here
that could SC. easily be brought forth
to the uplifting and pleasure OF Others
We do not appreciate our local talent
for from them springs our wonderful
artists, and how truly Memphis
writer expresses our thoughts when
he says, "When the lesser music is
appreciated and encouraged, then and
only thenican Memphis expect to find
the encouragement, appreciation and
financial support, which will be
necessary too bring to her halls and
studios the greatest number Of bril-
liant musicall lattractions." In what
way can We mcres perfectly express
ourselves than in music? 1t is even
greater than poetry for is not music
full OF the passion Of poetry? Love,
death, sorrows joy, all can find its ex-
preston 10 this wonderful art.
