Is Ability 70 Make Music Unborn 1

in plea for community music. embodied in
series OF magazine articles on music topics
contributed 10 The Atlantic Monthly by Thomas
whitney Surrette, who was held up as an ati-
lhority on the subject we find this bald as
scrtioni
This article expressas my conviction That Tho
average American man Or woman IL potentially mn.
Fca bollfVe the world " music 10 be q true a.
mocraey ! nm convinced that our chief need IL 10
mako music oureeYea / believe that under right con.
diuons, We should enjoy doing 10.
The writer quoted evidently regards music
as one Of the inherent natural faculties OF every
normal man or woman, and that anyone, or
everyone, can be taught 10 make music In the
same way that he Is taught to speak or read or
write His assumption 49, then, that we all owe
II 70 ourselves and 10 the community TO develop
our musical talents and that our duty to make
music may properly be brought into the same
category as the obligation to go to school, to
serve on tho jury or TO render military
service, 10 be eyaded or avoided only for some
extraordinary and exceptional reason
In this view some viii concur and some will
dissent. for the prevailing opinion prompts
many people TO claim that they have no music
whatever In their souls and that for them time
spent trying to learn how TO make music ia
time utterly wasted n our musical monitor
would modify bis proposition to the extent that
every man and woman IL potentially able to
appreciate music, even though not able to pro-
duce II. Il would find more ready acceptance.
II is on the score Of popularizing the appreeia-
tion Of music that most Of our community ef-
forts In this direction are justified And II
must be on this score that the appeal for music
culture must be made to those who do not
themselves profess to be musical

The Lusitania-one Year After.

The shock OF horror that stunned the world
when the Lusitanla went down Off Old kinsale
Head The victim Of a submarine, one year ago,
has been followed by that resignation that
marks acceptance Of the inevitable But the
year has not sutficed to efface the general indig
nation felt throughout the United States and
out Of which has grown most serious and inn
portant historic crisis The year of ronversa-
tion" has IN a measure justified Itself, for It has
brought about an appreciation Of the situation

up Firmly and patiently the American people
through their president have pressed the point
and without loss 81 national dignity nor sacrifice
Of honor have placed themselves in such posi-

SO cry Of vengeance has been raised, nor
thought OF retrlbution expressed BY our govern

approached The situation with calmness born
Of fun knowledge Of what the ultimate step
