COMMUNITY singing
URGED BY BROWNLOW
Commissioner Says Nations Musical
Spirit Is Dependent Upon Activi-
ties of the Masses.

Community singing for the betterment
OF society was recommended last night
by District Commissioner Brownlow be-
fore the Community Singing Society.
The society met in the Thompson
school, Twelfth and l. streets northwest
within the last twenty years, the peo-
pie of America have developed an sp-
probation for music" said Mr.. Brown
low. But they have not gone far
enough. They should be participators
not merely listeners.
THE community singing idea is good
because It brings more people into par.
ticipation in the rendering OF music, in.
stead OF their sitting In theaters ant
halls as listeners or as listeners before
the phonograph.
The development Of a national musi.
cal spirit, such as IN Italy, Germany and
Russia, will never come about in this
country until the people become active
musicians" he said.
Commissioner Brownlow was the sec
ond speaker to appear before the society
in a recently inaugurated program ot
having talks made at the meetings The
society, under direction of Prof. A. w
Harmed, is rehearsing for a concert to bt
given in May.
