SONGS THAT LIVE.
Stephen Fosters Ballads Won the
Heart Of America.

Heart Of America.
Stephen c., Foster. the writer Of
American ballads, the producer Of
Americas most distinctive songs. may
or may not have lived in the golden
age of American music-that each may
decide for himself-but it was at least
a glittering age. Foster fashioned his
songs, sang them and died.. They were
American. And Foster has had no sue
cessor.
In that day many persons. sang and
played. Every little hamlet had its
singing society. Music was in the
hands of the people and for the people
and to the people and even of the peo-
pie Foster composed. His songs have
lived. "The Old Folks at Home"
''Nellie Gray" 'My Old Kentucky
Home" "Come Where My Love Lies
Dreaming''-these and others from his
pen have survived many strange and
weird twists and turns in the history
of American music. They were born
out of the heart of the nation.
Fosters name may not be entitled to
place with great composers, and musi-
clans may turn contemptuously away
from his songs, but his songs live.
That may not make them greater mu-
sic in the Judgment Of musicians. but
it gives them claim to respect. He
was popular" song writer. We
have popular" song writer's today.
Their number is legion. But there is
no Foster among them.-1ndianapolis
