INFECTION IN THE PRISON
Peculiarly Favorable Field There for
the Spread Of the scourge
Of tuberculosis.

Only twenty-one prisons In fifteen
states and territories have provided
special places for the treatment OF
their tuberculosis prisoners. These in
situations can accommodate, however,
only 300 patients. In three-fourths OF
the major prisons and In practically
all the jails Of the country the tuber-
culous prisoner Is allowed freely to
infect his fellow prisoners, very few
restrictions being placed upon his
habits. When the congregate mode OF
prison life is considered, the danger OF
infection becomes greater than in the
general population. New York and
Massachusetts are the only states
where any systematic attempt has
been made to transfer all t~uberculous
prisoners to one central institution.
The largest prison tuberculosis hospi-
tai is in Manila, where accommoda-
tions for 200 prisoners are provided.
The next largest is Clinton prison hos
pital in New York, which provides for
$50.

lean music Is more and more making
a way for itself. A good deal of this
music, 1t is true, is still composed of
Coon Songs" and Rag Time" pieces,
and very often an insult to an educat-
ed musical ear. But good music Is al
so coming to the front. Ten years ago
1t was not considered possible in Eu-
rope that a musical composer could
be born in America. American inven-
tive genius, American machinery,
American farming methods, American
commerce and trade-those were I'M
deniable facts of respectable proper
lions. but American music? The day
of really great and distinctfvely
American musical composition is still
in the future. American composers
have attempted symphony and ora
torio, but their works rest on dusty
shelves. AS a matter of fact only n
American firm has undertaken to pub
lish these works.
The rendering of musical compost
tons, however, in America also, Is on
a very high plane. In instrumental
music musicians of the Teutonic and
Slavic races predominant, though
there is no lack Of American perform
ers also. instrumental music has
reached such a high degree of perfec-
ton that the beginner, striving to
reach the pinnacle Of fame, finds al
most insuperable difficulties. Thus
far American performers seem to be
most successful In vocal music. The
time when Italian singers monopolized
the field is past. German and Ameri-
can singers, male and female have Of
late gained great repute in this field.
Orchestral music likewise has reached
a high degree of perfection and Is lib
orally ~patronized by all classes Of the
people, and as might be expected un-
der the circumstances, the building of
musical instruments of all kinds has
here reached a stage of perfection e
ceeded nowhere else. But in the field
of musical composition, especially In
popular song, tire Is still a wide and
virgin field awaiting cultivation and
development.
What we Americans need and
wherein we differ from continental
European nations to our disadvantage
Is the social, school and congregation
al cultivation Of music. At social
gatherings of young Americans you
seldom hear good part singing in
which all, o. the majority, join. Bring
ing a serenade with really good sing
ing is a rare thing. Not so In Europe.
There one can, Of an evening, often
hear good quartet singing and will be
surprised to learn that the singers are
workingmen. Our public schools and
academies also have not fostered vo-
cal music as they should have done,
though 1t seems that in this partic-
ular things are changing for the bet
ter. When music shall be appreciated
and understood In the home, school
and church, then may we hope to see
composers and great artists In our
midst. and when we have them they
will be valued.

Der music, and the dep and earnest
compositions of Camille, S~aint-Saens,
who has followed German models, are
becoming more popular. Saint-Saens,
though II years old, lately travelled in
this country.
But if France has in modern times
furnished few important contribu-
lions to musical literature, Italy has
done still less, though this country
produced an unbroken line of great
from Monteverde in the
sixteenth century to Verdi in the
nineteenth. OF the newer Italian COM
posers, who for the most part wrote
only superficial, extravagant and sem
sual works, only Pietro Mascagnt
achieved a genuine success with his
beautiful and fiery "Cavalleria Rusti-
cana" Puccini also, the composer of
'Tosca" and La Boheme," has gained
the respect of the musicloving pub
lie.
The newest field of musical compo-
sition and virtuosity has been opened
by Scandinavian and Slavic compos-
ers and virtuosi. This field is, like
the new Siberian and Manchurian
wheat fields, producing immense re-
suits. Both the Scandinavians and
the Slavs have, greatly to their own
advantage, made the folk-song the
starting point of their compositions. a
full, bubbling, exhaustless spring
Of the Slav peoples two nationali-
ties have of late done great things in
music; the Russians and the Bohemf-
ans. Both have only In the nineteenth
century begun to make a reputation
for themselves. Since Glinka in 1910
produced musical treasures from the
Russian f%olk-song, musical taste has
developed in Russia and is now bear
ing abundant fruit.
But today even Russia recognizes,
as does the whole world, that the
great German masters will remain
models for all time to all nations.
In Bohemia the greatest repre-
sentative of the musical art-and per-
haps also the greatest of the later
composers-is Anton Dvorak. In his
music the national element Is even
more prominent than in that Of the
Russians, but the tragic melancholy
which is so often SO noticeable in
Russian music is here replaced by live
ly, fiery melodies. The Bohemians
have specially produced great violin
and piano players. Who does not know
