Community Music Movement.

Singing men are lighting men" is a
recognized fact with those in COM
nand of fighting forces. and is found
to be no less true of the people in the
home communities, far away from the
scene of conflict. where the sinews OF
war are being provided for those who
bear the burden of battle for singing
communities are efficient commune
ties"
With this thought in mind. the State
Federation Of Musical clubs of Iowa
has taken up the work of promoting
community music, and is working
through musical organizations in diff
ferent parts of the state. The music
department of the Davenport Woman's
club has undertaken the work OF
awakening interest in Davenport in
community singing and Rock Island
would do we'll to emulate the example
of the city across the river.
The movement is really national in
scope, and is born of the desire that
people in the community give express
sion of their willingness to assist in
making happiness universal. In in
augurating this work it should be
clearly understood that it is the desire
to have all musical organizations give
assistance and lend aid in bringing
every man, woman and child into SYM
patty with the work. The present war
is bringing about coordination of
effort on the part of citizens which
will be of lasting benefit to the ma
tons in the years to come.
Mrs. w. j. Duppert, chairman of the
music department, announces the fol-
! lowing committee to perfect plans to
,, carry on this work:
| Mrs. J. M. Sherier, chairman, Mrs.
Selma Bruning Albrecht, Miss Mar
| guerite Ohde, Mrs. Frank kastens,
Mrs. A. E. Ballow, Mrs. NJ L. Parker.
Mrs. Edward Kunkel, Miss Theresa
Hirschl. Miss Rose Mccullough, Mrs.
c. H. Murphy.
| 1t is hoped to have meeting of the
committee shortly when further an
nouncement of community songs, in
which every one will be urged to join,
will be made.
