The Singers Obligation.

Irving Wilson Voorhees,, M. S., M.
D., New York, in an article, under the
caption, The Singers Obligation. pub
lished in the current issue Of The
Musical Courier, says in part:
The singers obligation is to trans
late the moods of the masses into
audible artistic expression; to elevate.
educate and purify public taste. Poet
ry. painting, and in perhaps lesser
sense architecture, which some one
has called frozen music, express
some phase of human life and history.
of joy or sadness, of humor or pathos,
But music in it's highest sense appeals
distinctively to the emotions of man
kind, describes them, halloWS them
and makes them sacred. Of all the
arts, music is closest akin to poetry
because in the history Of the race, be-
fore there was any organized articu-
late language, man heard the ripping
brook. the noise of rushing water the
sighine Of the wind, or the wild sweep
of the tornado. It will be seen, there
fore, that the effect varies directly as
the degree of the stimulus and that in
the darkness Of primeval night, when
all was enwrapped in obscurity, man
awoke from dreams to sounds which
set his being vibrating with emotion.
There was engendered within him.,
therefore. a feeling, an appreciation of
the thing we call music, a subtle, in
definable something which came to
him from nature herself, which he
soon learned to initiate and then to
create.
Defnitively. music is simply sound.
It becomes sweet sound only when led
through the devious pathways Of the
organ of hearing, and Is interpreted
as such by the human brain. ,s
It has always seemed to me a pity
that art. musical and other, Is bound
to certain rules and hxities. Seem
ingly. it should be free as the air We
breathe. coming into our weary,
dropping souls when we are driven in
to the dark shadows Of sorrow, or go-
ing with US to the SUBMITS Of celes
tial joy as our fortunes may lead us.
But this freedom from Wholesome re-.
straint is obviously impossible, since
without rules and regulations there
would, strictly speaking. be no art
at all. The song Of the market WON 4
an would then nave the same mean
ing as that Of Melba. and we should
be left without ii standard for our
own Interpretations of musical values.

serful thought and the same weighing
of qualifications were given to music

Third Week in September
The Fargo Moorhead Philharmonic
club will begin rehearsals about the
third week in September. Two short
works will be given at the winter con-
cert, neither of which has ever BEEN

Grieg's Olaf Trygvasson and the other
will probably be Harriet Wares Sir
Oluf, a cantata for female voices.
There are negotiations pending at
present to bring Harriet Ware to the
northwest during the early winter and
arrangements will probably be made
to have the performance when she
comes. Sir Oluf Is new work. being
performed for. the first time last year.
The Philharmonic club is open to all
singers and all who enjoy chorus sing
ing are most cordially invited to join
and help in the musical development
of the cities. s..g
The club will be a strong organiza-

ton it has made for itself the past
three years will surely have very
successful season.

Superintendent Edwards expects the
enrolment Of the high school to reach
at least 200. Five years ago the en-
rollment was only eighty three pu-
pills. Since that time a more general
interest has been taken in the affairs
Of the high school than ever before. Mr..
Edwards and faculty attribute the in
crease of loyalty and interest to a
stimulation created through the medi-
UNI of debating contests. Once during
the past five years the Moorhead
school was the holder of state tro-
ply.
This year a department of science
will be inaugurated and it will be in
charge of Miss Polzin of Winona.
There will also be a commercial de-
partment and work in the manual
training department will be consider
ably extended. The department Of
English and expression has been
greatly strengthened and it will be
in charge Of Miss Elizabeth Nickel,
who has had wide experience and
has a number of successes to her cred>

Senator Lost at the Capitol.

The Joke is on Senator Crane. He
got turned round in the Capitol will
derness. Monday, and had TO call for
help. If the senator had been in the
wilds of Maine, he would have been
laughed at as a tenderfoot. On the
other hand had a Maine farmer pulled
off Senator Cranes Monday stunt, he
would have felt like an everlasting
wayback and would have been hee-
hawed at as such. Here is Wash
ington Star news item:
Senator Murray Crane of Massachu-
sets was lost in the Capitol today. He
was on the House of Representatives
side of the big building and could not
find his way about. The first seen of
him was when he was wandering
around the doorway. of the sergeant
alarms on the ground floor of the.
Capitol, underneath the House of Rep
resentatives. Several people spoke. TO
him, saw him go off in, a northWesterly
direction, and then saw him come back
again, look around, gaze at the doors
and then made for the elevator mark

please help me- begged the Mas
sachusetts senator. Il have been
wandering around the House of Rep
resentatives for half an hour looking
for Jim Mann's Office" he said to the
elevator man.
BY that time the elevator was up at
the third floor The operator reversed
the machine, dropped down to the
ground floor and then gently and
proudly led the chairman of the joint
committee on the inaugural to the Of
flee of Representative Mann of Illinois,
minority leader. Mr.. Mans Office, by
the way, is noted for the extreme mae
feasibility of its situation.
