a. MUSIC1 !
BY HENRIETTA M. REEFS.

MAHA has at last had taste
UNI of community singing. 1t
UO was only sample, but is
iEQlQN was enough TO prove to the
NESY audience present its I'M
mense value in community work, and
in advancing the "get-together" idea.
Under Mr., Kelly's directing it
was interesting to see what a different
spirit was breathed through the
music than is usually expressed,
It isn't that the people do not have
the same spirit back of their singing;
il is just that they do not bring it
out, They do not notice that they are
not really expressing it, unless there
is some leader'who by clever raillcry
points it out to them, and actually
jollies them into doing it the way it
ought to sound. And then it is easy
to see the difference. The community
| singing the other evening opened with
the singing of America" Director
| and pianist struck vigorous tempo,
and il went we'll the very first time.
The second time it went much bet
ter, and at the close Mr.. Kelly said
Bravo But at the close of the con-
cert, one verse of the same song was
repeated, and than it was even better.
There was more solidarity, a greater
freedom and swing, and the leader did
not have to pull the audience to his
tempo, for the people had caught
it, and found it just as easy to sing
that way as to drag along,
.
Another interesting and rather
amusing feature was that the singing
improved by marked per cent when
the lights were turned out and the
music and words were flashed upon
screen, This may have been partly
because there are many people who
can read and carry lower parts who
can not just guess at them from the
melody if they do not happen to
know them. But I'd be willing to
wager that the largest part Of the inn
provement was because it was dark,
and it was easier to sing when there
was no danger of somebody in front
turning around and looking at you, a
proceeding which, when one is shy
about singing anyway, is almost
enough to completely paralyze ones
vocal chords. The chances are that
the person who turns around could
not have done half as well. Perhaps,
if we had more community singing,
the shy ones would become more ac
customed to singing, and would not
mind if any one turned around and
looked at them

and interest developed, spread to the
outside communities and centers. In
these days of stress a little singing
might relax the nerves, and clarity
the atmosphere. Besides we could
learn our own patriotic songs, and
those of our allies, and perhaps know
the words to all of the verses. And
Just think of the lovely folk songs
We do not know, and even OF those
that we do that we never have the
chance TO sing, some of which we
haven't heard since our mothers, in
the old-lashioned days OF lullabies,
used to hum them as they rocked our
cradles and we dozed off peacefully to
sleep.
There were a great number of pub
lic-spirited people at the Mendelssohn
Choir concert the other night. Why
not get together and lay out some
workable plan for community music

Washington, Oct. 6-The work of

Wilson in statement saying:
'"The needs of the army and navy

the effectiveness Of American arms.
and the war making branch of the
government has been abundantly
equipped with the powers that were
necessary to make the action of the
nation effective"
'aThe 65th congress, now adjourn

the gratitude and appreciation of a
people whose will and purpose I be-
Eeve 1t has faithfully expressed. One
cannot examine the record of its ac-

comprehension of q great task.

been done thoroughly but that it has
also been done with the utmost dis

consistent with a full consideration OF
the exceedingly critical matters dealt
