American voices are already con-

coming violinists. Among the younger
generation of vio.inists are to be
found already such noted artists as

music as in every other line of en-

Many gifted and well-trained young
student abroad is condemned to life
of comparative poverty because OF

"In the United States, on the con-

opportunity for recognition and ad-

been remarkable popular awaken

public schools, the better concerts

the Victrola, all tend toward a better
understanding of and desire for good
music.
