are vitally interested in this question
of musical education, or do they
still look upon music as light form

"There is no branch of human
knowledge about which the general
public are so eager to be informed
as music. Rhythm, melody, and
dance are primitive instincts. The
only thing that has prevented US
from becoming a musical people has
been the lack of time, the fact that
we have been developing a new
country and have had so many
other things to do. If fmusical litera-
ture had been as readily accessible
as printed literature during the past
hundred years we should be far
ahead of our present standard of
musical progress. This is the rea-
son l attach so much importance to
an instrument like the Orchestrcllc,
that does for musicwhat the printing
press accomplished for literature.
Everybody ought to learn to sing;
everybody ought to have a general
familiarity with the masterpieces of
instrumental music. The tendency
to degenerate into mere idle listeners
who do not comprehend what they
hear will be effectively stamped out
when homes everywhere have the
means Of constantly hearing per
formances of the master-works Of
Beethoven, Mozart, Haydn. Schu
