ton" Of Berlin's syncopated tunes and
the ship responded by 4 tango course

lunes Are Impurities in the
Musical System Asserts
Composer, Sailing.

Eagtime tunes are like pimpes They
come and they 90. They are impurities
in the musical system which must he
cleared out"
With this arragnment of the style OF
music which had its advent a few years
ago, Frank Damrosch, director OF the
Institute Of Musical Arts, sailed for
Europe Yesterday Standing on the deck
Of the steamer Kaiser Wilhelm II, he
deplored the grip ragtime music had
taken on tho American public.
IL has been reported in the press late
ly." he said. that ragtime is becoming
popular in Europe. All ! can say on the
matter IS that if Europe really adopts
ragtime II will deserve all the injury II
will receive"
The advance made by other music in
this country within the last thirty years,
however. Mr. Damrosch said, was both
astonishing and gratifying.
twenty-five or thirty years ago he
added. "the rank and file of American
people were decidedly ignorant of music.
NO" lneIc Us ndIuiN loNn' SHldii ~ II
may be- in which there Is not AT least
orc musical organization. Millions Of
dollars are spent on music here each
wear. but | believe half the sum is vast
ed ON uoor music, inefficient teachers and
I'm other ways
The progress we have made, though
is satisfying, and on the whole ] should
say that our musical average is the same
as Europe's"
