In reply to the very interesting let
ter In the Times, referring to the es-
say on Southern music, by Prof AL
bert Mildenberg as published in your
Sunday Magazine. venture to add a
few words. the result of great interest
and much research In my personal ac-
quaintance of many years with the
well-known English Negro composer.
Coleridge Taylor, and the famous
American authority. Harry T. Burleigh,
both of these men being grave and
earnest musicians, yet each pursuing
entirely different paths in the devel-
opment of their art. writes Albert j.
Weber in the New York Times. In
the case of Coleridge Taylor 1t has
been a steady advancement of great
talent for composition along serious
lines, with no leaning toward develop
ment of a race popularity or special
influence. it being simply the following
out of the classical as well as lighter
forms OF musical compositions follow
ing those of all of the modern cele-
brated European composers.
Regarding Mr. Burleigh. his work has
been development of an idea which
has had as It's main inception and es
sential character the bringing out Of
peculiar and individual Negroid quail
ties, so far a. the themes and rhythm
are concerned, of course, seriously
treated. but nevertheless with the idea
of establishing a splendid and delight.
full color in his work, and the exis-
tence of characteristic that he attrib-
utes solely to the Southern plantation
Negro. It is but just and fair to pre-
sumo that the charming melodies sung
by the Southern plantation Negro,
such as Swing Low, Sweet Chariot
and STEAL Away to Jesus" and tho
numerous other spirituals that have
heard unlimited times during my in
vestigations in the South, throughout
that glorious Land of Dixie" are of
absolutely pure Negro origin, and this
fact no doubt re-enforces the conten-
ton of Prof Albert Miidenberg's argu-
ment that We must look to these fun.
damental principles of melody and
rhythm produced by these very South
ern Negro singers. and maintained by
them to this very day in their orig
inal form, for the very essence of the
material upon which our American
folk-song exists and may be further
developed.
The more treatment they will under
go at the hands of the trained and
skilled musicians the further away
from their intrinsic value they viii be
drawn, the more will they lose their
entire individuality. The natural mel
odies in their original form, free from
harmonic treatment by technical mu-
sicians, will of themselves be potent
factor in our future musical develop
ment.

Statistics show that $4,000 of the
10000 people in Birmingham are Ne
groes. The school census of 1912
showed 21,33s Negro children of
school age. The annual report of the
Birmingham public schools of 1913
has 1860 Negro children enrolled in
the schools, 1854 OF whom attended
regularly. This report shows 5,445
seats for these children, lacking
of 439 seats to accommodate them.

A correspondent of Washington
newspaper suggested that the United
States create Negro army of from
100000 to 100000 men for carrying
on the reclamation work and other in
dustrial undertakings in peace. and do
our fighting in time of war This Is
a most undemocratic and abhorrent
suggestion. Mercenary armies and
vicarious fighters were in fashion 100
years ago, when despotic kings used
them as their tools of oppression. The
odium that attaches to the term Hes
sian, in our own history, is the result
of the intense feeling among our own
.forefathers against hireling soldiers
The revolutionary fighters were will
ing TO risk their fortunes. their ener-
gies and their lives in the struggle
for liberty. and the English king
brought into the field against them
hired troops. Unprepared and undis-
ciplined as the Americans were, their
superior morale won for them victory.

AFRO-AMER|CAN CU[L|NCS

One OF the most significant of the
many hopeful tendencies in the South
today is the spirit of cooperation be
| ing manifested on every hand between
| the white and colored people. Never
in the history of the South, 1t is safe
to say, has there been SO keen an IN
terest on the part of the white popula-
ton in the condition and welfare of
the Negro In almost every large city
below the Ohio river. from Galveston
and Houston up to New Orleans, Bir-
mingham, Atlanta and even Washing
ton, there has been an awakening in
some one or all Of the phases OF Negro
life In the agricultural districts Of
southern states there has been re-
valuation of the status of the Negro
and new attitude with regard to
him is being formed.
OF the many causes to which this
awakening is to be attributed two
stand out most prominently. First,
the publication of census statistics
showing the appalling death rate from
tuberculosis and other diseases
among Negroes and the absence OF
any well regulated effort looking to-
ward sanitation in Negro quarters.
taken has been. no doubt. the sort of
interest one would take. II mad dog
were loose in the neighborhood: but,
regardless of the motive OF seif-pres-
ervation. the cleanup movement
has been responsible for great good.
In the second place, the colored peo-
pie themselves have been so untiring
in their efforts to bring to pass new
er and better era in the land of which
they are in indispensable economic
part that their labors are now bearing
fruit. There is a larger confidence In
the future of their race. because they
themselves are responding more rap
idly and more satisfactorily now than
ever before.
The South in the next few decades
will become one of the richest sections
OF the nation and of the world. II is
therefore important not only that Ia
Dor and capital should work In har-
mony, but ii is even more important
that there should be an interracial
sympathy and cooperation In all econ
omic and civic endeavor. The laborer
can be kept skillful and efficient only
as his environment is wholesome and
strengthening, and not weakening and
demoralizlng. II is in the spirit of this
paragraph. reflected In an address de-
livered by Maj. r. r. Motion of Hamp-
ton institute. that the leading white
people of the South are coming to re.
gard the Negro problem. That large
share of their concern in the matter
lies on the side of the economic is
shown by Ebe interest taken In the ef-
forts of a number OF state and city

THE CHARM
Of MOTHERHOOD
Enhanced By Perfect Physi-
cal Health.

The experience of Motherhood . try
ing one to most women and marks dis
tinctly an epoch IN their lives. Not one
woman in hundred Is prepared or rn-
derstands how to properly care for her
self. OF course nearly every woman
nowadays has medical treatment atsuch
times, but many approach the expert
ence with an organism untitled for the
trial of strength, and when it is over
her system has received a shock from
which it is hard to recover. Following
right upon this comes the nervous strain
of caring for the child, and q distinct
change in the mother results.
There Is nothing more charming than
ahappy and healthy mother of children.
and indeed childbirth under the right
conditions need be no hazard to health or
beauty. The unexplainable thing is
that, with ell the evidence of shattered
nerves and broken health resulting from
an unprepared condition, and with ann
pie time in which to prepare, women
will persist in going blindly to the trial.
Every woman at this time should rely
upon Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound, most valuable tonic and
invigorator of the female organism.
