In many European countries, the
servants of the household can be heard
discussing the art of music, and it's
presentation, quite as intelligently as
the master and mistress of the menage
and indeed, frequently, more SO.
This is due to the we'll known fact
that the arts are given more attention
in the scheme of public education on
the continent than here and also to
the fact that many musical organiza-
tons are conducted under government
tai patronage.
Especially is this true of Germany
and Russia, instanced in the latter by
several aggregationS Of musicians per
mitted TO tour abroad within the past
few years, two Of which have appeared
here-or will have after Tuesday
namely. the Russian Imperial Ballet
seen here last winter and the Imperial
Court Balalaika Orchestra to be heard

Under the patronage of the govern
ment music thrives since this gives
that prestige which enables expert
mentation. exploitation and develop

In America, however. or that part
included within the United States, mu-
sicians must depend upon themselves
and those few music-lOvers who will
unselfshly devote their time TO its in

for good music and its intelligent un-
derstanding are not as usual or matter
