The idea is more than q Village
phantasy. There is reason as we'll as
whimsicality behind it. To any one
giving the matter a second thought,
it becomes quite clear that some
music has the power of warming one
up, of filling one with the spirit of
power and endeavor and that assur-
edly is the music for winters even-
ing. In the same manner the musi-
cal entertainment of summers day
can be chosen with thought of its
effect upon a heat-withered brain
and body. Whether the idea arose
out of a necessity of coping with at
mospheric conditions that could be
met in no other way is II matter of
conjecture but the fact remains that
it is a. good one and worthy OF a
trial. fBesides, all is fair in love and

One of the results of the war has
been the budding of new poetic gen.
ius. Inspired by the great world tur-
moil, men have suddenly discovered
the possession of a power of song
that needs express itself. Among
the men who have thus come to the
fore is Patrick MacGill, the soldier,
who has recently had published his
book of verse called Soldier Songs.
Singing Gives Expression TO the
Soldiers Soul
1t is interesting to note what this
soldier-poet has to say about the
songs of the battlefield. In his dedi-
catory letter to the book he writes:
THE soldiers have songs of their
own, songs of the march, the trench,
the billet and the battle. The origin
is lost: the songs have risen like old
folk-tales, spontaneous choruses that
voice the moods of the moment and
of many moments which are mono
tonously alike. Most of the verse is
of no import; the crowd has no sense
of poetic values; it is the singing
alone which gives expression to the
soldiers soul. 'Tipperary' means
home when 1t is sung in q shell-shat-
tered billet, on the long march Tip
perary' is Berlin, to the goal of high
enterprise and great adventures.
The Tommy is q singing soldier;
he sings to the village patronne even
when ordering food:
will you give me,
if you please, y
Some bread and butter
and coffee with cheese"
He serenades the maiden at the viii
lage pump:
After the war is over,
And English soldiers depart,
M'selle Frongsay will have a
broken heart
After the war is over"
One of the songs this poet men,
tions in the same preface is being
popular in the billets and dug-outs
from lie Havre to the Somme is the
| following parody on Sing Me to
Sleep"
Sing me to sleep where bullets fall,
Let me forget the war and all
Damp is my dugout, cold my feet,
Nothing but bully and biscuits to'eat,
Over the sandbags helmets you'll
find
Corpses in front and corpses behind.
Chorus
Far, far from Ypres long to be,
Where German snipers can't get at
me,
Think of me crouching where the
worms weep,
Waiting for the Sergeant to sing me
to sleep.
Sing me to sleep in some old shed,
The rats all running around my head,
| Stretched out upon my waterproof,
Dodging the raindrops through the
roof,
Dreaming of home and nights in the
West,
Somebody's overseas boots on my
chest.

is THE SPIRIT OF
MUSIC IN YOUR HOME ?

The Music in the Home move
ment is national in it's scope, and
newspapers, periodicals and maga-
zines are furthering this commend
able idea in every way possible.
There should be music in every home

educates and pleases. The family cir
Gle is more closely knit in conse-
quence. Music is a language under
stood by all. and. in these martial
times especially, it cheers. invigor-
ates and instils a keen appreciation
for the home and all it signifies.
With the winter months before us,
and visions of the cracking logs in
the old fireplace and the big arm
chairs drawn up in front-the pic

beautiful melodies from a new plano,

OLD-TIME SONGS
HAVE APPEAL
Children Should Be Taught
the Delightful Music of
Bygone Days

Some time ago the Fuller Sisters.
three charming young English girls,
gave song recital which was
unique in its way in that both the
program and the presentation of the
numbers given, Smacked of that i'll
lusive atmosphere supposedly exist
ent in those times when their coun-
try was known to the world as Mer-
rie England. How greatly apprecia-
ted was the revival of these old songs
was proved by the constant demand
for more by the audience and the
request among it's members for indi-
vidual songs especially dear to them.
English FoIk-Song the Heritage of
Traditional Music in America
This brings us to the realization
that the old English folll-song, the
only heritage of traditional song that
America might in justice call her
own, is passing. Time was, and that
not even a score of years ago, when
II was no unusual thing in walking
along the highways and byways of
our cities to hear a group of children,
little girls especially, chanting the
old familiar tunes of Here Comes q
Duke Riding" Water, Water, Wild
flower, "'Oh, Do You Know the
Muffin Man." and the whole joyous,
SNhitlhdliD happy SIOIe Ol lneHl.
Now, however these memory lad Ell
old songs seem to have died out and
left nothing as beautiful or lasting
in their wake. The moving pictures,
have, to a great extent taken up and
filled the minds of the juvenile mem
bers of our society, and the silent
drama has had the effect of creating
silent voices, silent with respect to
the singing of those songs which are
associated with the realm of child
hood.
Schools Should Make Effort to Re-
viVc These Songs
The places for the revival of these
old songs are naturally in the school
room and in the nursery. They
should form a part of the education
of every child and q conscious study
of them should be made with the
hope that some day, mayhap, they
will once more ub-consciously be-
come part and parcel of the play
time world of our future generations.
1t is true that old orders change CIV
ing place to new, but there is much
in the former that the latter might
with wisdom adopt. And the sing
ing of the old folk songs by our chill
dren is case in point.
