SURPRISING THE SWEETEST
MELODIES OF THE SOUTH.


BostOn-astute Boston--is again
on the map. After the more or less
ancient fashion by which it resur-
rected a public memory of its exist
ence by excluding Thomas Dixon S
Leopard Spots" from its public IL
brary. It's school board has now or
dered the withdrawal of a music
book from its schools because it con-
tains a number OF Objectionable
songs. They are:
My Old Kentucky Home"
cold Black Joe"
''Massa's In the Cold, Cold
Ground"
Darling Chloe"
Down Upon the Swanee Rib
ber."
And other melodies Of ante
bellum days.
We are told that the reason for
this is that these songs are an in
suit TO the negro race. And queer
isn't IT, how long we-even Boston
have been at finding it out? A
committee OF Boston negroes and
whites first make the discovery, fol
lowing It with their recommends
tions, and the school board fell for
il.
Poor Old Stephen Collins Foster,
author of the most of these songs,
condemned in the days of his writ
ing for endowing the negro with
virtues which it was denied that he
possessed, is now being accused of
breathing pathOs that is akin TO in
suit. His songs were intended to in
spire the north with a realization
that the negro was a human being.
with the sentiments and feelings of
human beings, devoted in love to
family, love of race, and love of
nome, same as other human beings.
The songs were written, of course,
in the dialect OF the times. but how
much the negro owes to them for
his freedom is simply incalculable.
True such terms as "darkey' are
used. but if the term "darkey'' is an
insult now, credit Foster at least for
having elevated it above the con-
tempt that it signifed among the
people that invented it. We cannot
sympathize with the colOred people
of Boston in this matter We agree
with the white folks that Joined them
in their protest even less. They have.
in short, misinterpreted the songs,
and the board of education should
have served them in the capacity of
instructors rather than as misguided
servants.
These songs are historical, COM
memOrative of an age. They are the
poetry of an era. Boston pupils can
get along without them, no doubt,
hut they will be missing a lot of
melodies that the rest of the coun-
try holds fondly in memory, and fer
which there is, as there should be, a
wholesome respect.
Boston, we again recall, as being
on the map, but it is there again
as in the case Of its dealing with
Leopard Srots,' for the absurdity
of its performance, rather than for
any considerable demonstration of in
teIlectual superiority.
Pass the beans. please.
