In England, Mr.. Cecil Sharp is advo-
eating and agitating the teaching OF Eng
lish folksong in the common schools, and
the worth and seriousness OF the cam
paign which he is conducting has been
recognized by Manchester University. Ac-
cording to Mr.. Sharp, national music
must necessarily be developed from folk
music. The education OF all English chill
dren in English folksong would be the
OF an English school of music.
A child must be brought up In the ma
tional idiom of music so that II in later
years he writes music he will write II In
the national musical idiom. It was in
this way that Grieg laid the foundation
OF Scandinavian and Glinka of Russian
music. the rich store OF Irish folk mu-
sic will be illustrated and disclosed at
the Feis Cecil to be given by the Gaelic
Society of Washington, in the ballroom
Of the New Willard, on the evening Of
March Is.
