Advance in Quality
of Popular Songs.

ADVANCE IN Quality has so seen
.e en,c atre m dous
oPo"A 5oA6o' growth in the
American demand for music. MI John
G. Freund, not long ago made care
ful estimate of the amount we annual
ly spend for music, and placed the sum
at 100000, 900. Two hundred and thir-
ty million OF this was spent in the
musical Industries: that is, for instru-
ments. sheet music. records and the
like. Other items on our bill for har-
mony were s1s2.O00.000 for tuition.
sso,Oo0,000 for church music, $4,000. 900
for bands and s3O.0O0.00o for theater
music. According to this estimate, we
spend about three times as much for
harmony as we do to support our navy
and nearly three times as much as the
government receives through the post
office.
The most impressive fact about these
nsures is that the greater part of our
immense expenditure for music goes
TO put music in the home, being spent
Tor pianos. monographs and tuition.
unfortunately. no estimate has been
made of what part of this immense
sum is spent for ragtime. but certainly
the greater part of American music
tails into that class. 1t may safely be
said that our ragtime costs us several
hundred million dollars a year, and
there seems to be little prospect that
Its dlsparagers will have much sue
cess in cutting down the bill.

Tho unspeakably depraved popular

asserted that the modern dances were
the natural offspring of such music

There is, however, tremendous
weight of expert testimony on the 9TH
er side. The
Expert Testimony London Times.
on the Other Side. 'nat Hr,.,ln ponoer9os na,os
Of authority on all subjects, not long
ago devoted a long editorial to the
theme of our popular music, in which
1t pointed out the salient truth that
ragtime is our most typical natural ex-
preston. 1t is the true music of the
hustler. the speculator. the skyscraper.
the grain elevator. The rush and spir-
1t OF American life are in it. In both
subject matter and rhythm it is as dis
tlnctive as the Spanish and Hungarian
melodies. Whatever it may be at pres
ent, many musical experts agree that
1t contains the seed Of genuine Amer
lean national art. Furthermore, it is a
well known fact that ragtime is by no
means the easiest music in the world
to play or sing effectively, and 1t is
barely possible that some of its de-
tractors may find their motive in this
fact. The half-baked soprano who can
not climb down from her high notes
and the amateur with no sense of
rhythm can do almost anything better
than ragtime.
The famous Russian orchestra con-
ductor. Safanoff. once paid a visit to
this country and was entertained by
some musical society with an elaborate
program. Through long classical Sc
lectlons the famous foreigner sat with
the politely racuous expression of sup
pressed boredom. Then the orchestra
played a ragtime tune. Instantly the
musician was alert. demanding to know
what sort OF music it was. He declared
that it was the most original and in
heard in years. and that he would score
it to be reproduced by his orchestra in
Petrograu.
Thus. there Is considerable weight of
authority to support us in our love for
ragtime and our suspicion that the
young lady with the glasses who thinks
1t is "horrid'' and sits through SYM
phony concerts instead is just a bit of
a musical snob.
Ragtime may be said to have sprung
from an unknown source and swent

there are many other elements in It.
l.Ragtime, like the Homeric legend, is a
product of national life and cannot be
traced to any individual or class. While
! 1t Is the product of the United States,
however. it Is rapidly becoming the
property of the world. for America n
RAJ agtime is heard in Paris, Berlin and
London.
While the origin of ragtime cannot
be placed exactly. its history for some
years may be traced. and in this there
is good deal Of promise. Undoubtedly,
the elimination of vulgarity and senti-
mentality are two things necessary be-
fore ragtime can attain any genuine ar
tistfc excellence, and in these respects
it has advanced at wonderful rate.
Ten years ago most popular songs
made their debut in what were then
tGalled ''honkatonks and which were
very similar to the cabarets of today.

The aroused funnybone of the Amer

about this time to the illustrated senti-
