RETIRED MUSIC TEACHERS
HOME DEDICATED TODAY
Event Marked by Tributes to Thoss
Who Devote Lives To Art

A Home for Retired Music Teacha-.
was dedicated this afternoon al ,Tohnsnn
ana JeHerson streets, Germantown. Tha
institution has been created through tina
generosity of Theodore Presser. a music
publisher in this city, who conceived ths
idea of providing a home for those men
who, after having devoted their entire
lives in faithful and unselfish work for
the art of music, not infrequently find
themselves helpless in their old age
The exercises at the dedication were
simple All those who made addresses
took the opportunity, in the brief space
of few moments to pay tribute to the
music teachers of the world. The Rev.
Herman L. Duhring, who took for his sub.
ject the relation of music to religion,
spoke of the part it plays in bringing
man closer to God. Mayor Blankenburg
spoke of the relation of music and the
music teacher TO the community. Others
who made addresses were Hugh A.
Clark. John C. Freund, and Charles
Heber Clark.
Madame Maud Powell David Bispham
and Henri Scott, noted soloists. gave
number of musical selections.
Mr.. Presser, in an address at the dedi-
cation ceremonies. speaking of the object
and purpose of the institution which he
has founded, said:
"As a class, music teachers do not ac-
cumulate worldly possessions. They ar
rive at a time in life when their useful-
ness ends after a life spent in education
and sacrifice for the sake of art. II is
then with great joy and thankfulness
that we can, in n measure. at least,
provide for the protection of these music
teachers, who, as class of workers, are
performing great and useful service"
