It is not to be a permanent loss how ever. as Dr. Sparhawk has created such/a large clientele for himself in his dental practice, that he is plan ming to return here yearly for the summer months at least and will be accompanied by his family on those trips.
 Mrs. Sparhawk is a charter member of the Eastern Star and has worked up to the chair of Worthy Matron. Dr. Sparhawk is also a Charter Member and both have been splendid workers in the lodge, where they will be miss ed greatly.

sensitive to quality, as the most musi-
once to prepare to benefit by this un-
derstanding and love of music which
they will bring to us as nation. There
should be musical schools and a con-
servatory where the study Of music
should be sustained by a rich and lib
eral education, where competitive ex-
aminations in the humanities, backed
by a thorough knowledge of English,
must keep pace with the musical stud
les. This is not as yet the case, and
never will be until the state or city
realizes the Importance of granting
large sums toward the higher educa-
tion of the people. For instance, a
diploma from the Institute of Musical
Art, no matter how high plane it may
reach as school of art, can never
mean what diploma does from the
Paris Conscrv atory, which is supported
by the government. 1t must be na-
tional institution, or at least Of the
state. Those who wish to become
great, either as creative artists or as
interpretive artists, must be highly, in
tensively trained. This is a truism;
but it is not understood by our public,
and that is why the road is paved for
the commercialization of music here.
Music says nothing to the greater
part of our public, but it makes it's
impression as a more or less agree
able sound; and the louder it is the
more truly wonderful they seem to
find it. So it has been an easy task
for managers to fill houses with sing
ers and players who are willing to
make the noise and are willing to sing
or play the music which appeals to
such audiences. Many are the promis
ing young artists at the Opera House
whose fine, fresh voices become hard
and discordant because they find, when
they force their voices, the claque is
vociferous and by it's plaudits wins
over the house to the belief that some
really fine singing has been accom-
plished. Hence continual descent in
the quality demanded by public and
manager on concert and opera stages.
Salaries are raised in accordance with
the artists capacity for attracting a
large audience and not on account of
artistic achievement. Many organiza-

Shall Music Be
Con7nercidIized?

To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: 1t must be apparent to all
thinking people that in this great up
heavai Of world forces civilization
hangs in the balance and that the arts
are in critical condition, being
threatened with total eclipse. Take
music in this city for an example. Are
we to allow what little we know about
it to disappear in the mad desire to
popularize and commercialize all the
arts? Music, whose peculiar qualities
lay it open to such possibilities more
easily than either painting or sculpt-
ure, runs the greatest risk on &C.
count Of this. If we keep the stand
ards of taste and quality high it will
not be along the lines followed to-day.
There is Il great movement on foot,
and much is being done by we'll mean
ing people to promote love for music
among the masses. But how is it be-
ing done" With reverence? Let US in
qure.
Inc great metropolis OF New York
is supposed to be one OF the great
world centres of music. In one sense
only is this true. All the great artists
pass through play, or sing here, and
there are many, very many, established
organizations supported by private
subscriptions or endowment These,
however, do not make New York in
truth great musical centre. There
is no conservatory Of music, as in
Paris or Berlin, or formerly in Pet
rogrsd and many other Continental
cities. There is nothing by which TO
establish high standard, one SO high
that few can attain TO it. The Ameri-
cans do not find their national express
sion III music. We have, however, a
large number Of Slavs, Teutons, Jews
Poles and Czecho- Slovaks among us,
and when they have become absorbe d
INTO our national life we can through
them have a public as appreciativc, as

Opera at the Park Theatre,
Past, Present and Future

fnc enough ensemble to produce sue
cessfully works which are in the rep
ertory of the Metropolitan. Either
artists equal to those at the Broad
way house, or an ensemble of surpass-
ing excellence are needed to interest
an audience in works which it can
have elsewhere, even at much higher
prices Of admission. In its early
choice of operas the Society of Amcri-
can Singers was unfortunate, ard only
in its revival OF the Pergolesc work
and in its production of Henry Had
ley's new opera Blanca" did it display
the idealsm which had characterized d
its founding.
Questionable Idealism
In its attempt to perform operas in
English it was, perhaps, idealistic, but
1T is to be questioned whether it's
idealism was here we'll placed. We
listened to Thomas and Donizetti and
even to Ofenbach and Puccin, and
were unconvinced; indeed many of us
were offended, for we heard murder
committed both to the music and to
the language of Shakespeare. In short,
the attempt proved neither popular nor
artistic, and it is to be doubted
whether it ever will prove such. Opera
is u bastard art at best and translated
opera is double bastardy.
Alone in its encouragement of young
American singers was the venture al
together praseworthy, but now that
the works of Gilbert and Sullivan
seem to have become the goal of the
organization, the original artists have
been dropped and operetta singers
have taken their places. If the So
clety Of American Singers finally de-
cides to devote its energies to oper-
eta, it probably has q needed field,
and popular one. If it returns to its
first policy of giving a few fine per-
formances of unknown works, or the
production of new works, all who love
the best in music will arise and call it
blessed. If, however, it decides upon
the establishment of an American
opera comique it will need tremendous
financial backing and performances of
the very first order, at least as re-
CARDS ensemble. While making money
with operetta, it has now an oppor-
tunity to perfect that ensemble and to
train its singers. Perhaps in month
or two it will show US what its inten-
tions really are.
