TALKS ON COMMUNITY MUSIC.
Prof. E. ]. Ward Makes Address at
Thompson School.

I'VE will never produce native and
sincere folk art, folk music and folk
dances until we know each other as
folks
This statement was made by Prof.
E. J. Ward of the bureau of education
in an address at a meeting held in the
Thompson School yesterday afternoon
to discuss means of developing COM
munty music in Washington.
Genuine community music is the
expression of real together feeling on
the part of the people, said Prof.
Ward. in the past this has been
provided only by war and solidarity,
which war emotion creates 1t has been
proved, however, in Rochester and
other cities that this together feeling
is possible in the schoolhouse COM
munty center
Prof. Ward urged that it will be
useless to attempt the organization of
community music in advance of organ
izing community centerS. Without the
free public forum. he declared, there
will be no sense of control on the part
of the people and no self-respect which
can furnish the basis of a democratic
expression of beauty.

Reiterates Opinion of Fleet.

Representative Browning reverted to
Admiral Winslow's opinion as to the
efficiency of the present fleet. The ad-
miral repeated his statement that he
did not regard it as efficient enough to
face possible enemy.
Chairman Padgett said he had heard
that England was now building super
destroyers similar to the light cruiser
Arethusa. recently sunk by a mine.
having abandoned the regular de-
stroyer type altogether. The boats
were supposed to have speed of thir-
ty-fve knots and to carry five-inch
guns in addition to their torpedo bat
teries.
Admiral Wins1ow had not heard of
this report. but thought that while such
craft would be more serviceable, they
would be much more costly and could
not displace destroyers wholly.
Representative Padgett said the
same informant had told him that a
2,3G0-ton German submarine had been
captured recently and two others de-
stroyed of the feet of six such boats
Germany had built.
Admiral Winslow said he had heard
rumors of very large German subma-
rines, but from no reliable source.
