SINGING IS LOST ART TODAY
In This Age II Is Largely Confined to
the Professional Performers, Even
in the Churches.

Singing, as far as most people are
concerned, is lost art. Thousands at
tend operas, recitals and musical com.
edieS, but, as for singing themselves
Informally at their work or play, they
have forgotten how. In times past
people of oil ranks sang together as
a matter of course. Sailors sang ut
their work; peasants, shepherds, cow
boys. all had their favorite and appro-
pirate songs. The songs Of childrensat
games, the lullabies Of mothers, are
in the collected ballads and folklore
Of many peoples.
"The pastimes and labors Of the hus-
bandman and the shepherd" says An
drew Lang, according to the Indianapo-
lis News, "were long ago kind Of
natural opera. Each task had its
own song; planting, seeding, harvest
ing, burial, all had their appropriate
ballads or dirges.
"The whole soul Of the peasant class
breathes in it's burdens as the great
SCA cSOuuuS Ill luS Sllcll LilSC up Ou

Nowadays the whfrl Of machinery
makes oil the noise. The workers in
mills might find it unsatisfying to sing
ut their work, but it is doubtful If they
would sing even If their voices could
be heard, while singing in an office or
store would pretty surely be stopped
by the "boss'' or the police. Thousands

CIRCUS People FIGHT HARD

Working men are bought away, and
