THE MUSIC CRITIC
By JOHN w. PHILLIPS

q great extent the fact as to whether
that opinion is based on ignorance
or knowledge.
More in Churches
There are more music critics in
churches than anywhere else. Ev-
erybody takes a hand in it. 1t seems
to be Christian virtue to biff the
choir. AS a diversion from these
days of real sport" the minister
chief target of the barrage fire is
the choir. and so the choir loft has
come to be known as the war de-
partment; not entirely because con-
gregations criticise, but also because
choir members take on q beautiful
green color and artfully criticise
each other.
This would all be humorous and
interesting if it did not bring so
much dissension and heartache.
Jealousy is a human weakness that
even Christian thought and teach
ing seems unable to overcome, so
we may look forward with una abated
JOY to the unending stream Of ran
corous Vapor from jealous choir
singers and the insipid tWaddle from
the inflated music critic.
Constructive Criticism
worthy, constructive criticism re-
Guires musical knowledge-Vocal
and umental-musical training
in several branches of the art; abil-
ity to analyze; ability to interpret;
experience in listening to music of
all kinds; imagination; absolute
fairness In passing judgment on both
artist and music; ability to write so
that anybody can understand; abso-
lnte independence of thought, and
i keen enough insight to tell why a
concert is bad. mediocre or good.
Now friend. if you do not have
the above qualifications, put on the
SOFT pedal when making a musical
attack. You may love music, and
can probably recognize many
pieces" when you hear them, but il
is "a long, long trail' before YOU
can say with the authority that is
born of knowledge, II know"

$1O1 100000 YEARLY FOR
MUSIC IN ONE CITY

The city with the record of $780,
100000 annually expended in the in
terest of music is Philadelphia. This
figure has been arrived at after q
pa1nstaking investigation involving
weeks of research and hard work, by
the Music League of Philadelphia
one interesting item in the total of
commercial receipts was $50, 900
spent last year by the churches and
theaters of the city for pipe organs.
Musical Recreation and Education
The $13,000,0OO spent by the city
for its musical recreation and educa-
ton yield the most significant indi-
Vidual items. The Philadelphia Or
chestra, ranking with the worlds
best musical organizations, gives one
hundred concerts yearly at an ex-
pense of $4,000 a concert, or total
of $3,000,000. The income from the
sale of tickets for grand opera is
about 100000. Twenty-thousand
students attend the twenty-five con-
servatories of the city, bringing them
an income of over $5OO,0O0 q year.
Altogether nearly 100000 persons
IN the city are taking music lessons,
this figure not including, of course,
the thousands of students in the
schools who receive music instruction
as part of their course.
No less than $50 Society" musi-
cal functions are held annually. If
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1918-01-05

all the events, including dances, we'd
dlngs, etc., at which more than five
musicians are employed are counted,
the total number of such functions
rises to $4,000. One of the popular
hotels alone spent $4,000 a year on
music.
The city's great community chorus,
which in October last mustered out
10000 persons for a patriotic sing in
Fairmont Park does not represent
q large financial expenditure, but is
no small item in the musical prestige
the Pennsylvania metropolis has
gradually won for itself. In this
respect, however, as well as in the
number of music students and music
events, many smaller cities are max
ing as good showing, relatively, and
some cases a better one.
II is no longer a matter of our
prise that the country consumes"
more than half a billion dollars
worth of music year. We have long
known that we were taking q place
more worthy of us in the musical
world. But, all things considered,
Philadelphia has apparently corner
ed more than her share of the ma
tion-wide progress. Her record in
the musical field should not be on
We'd, however. 1t should serve rather
as an inspiration to all other for
ward looking cities to "go and do
likewise"

AMERICA TO Be A
SINGING NATION
Plans Being Perfected to Hold
National Song Days to
Promote Patriotism

To promote patriotism and spirit
ual preparedness is the purpose of
the National Community Song Days
recently instituted by the National
Council of Women. The first of
these Song Days was observed last
week in Washington, when great
crowds met at an appointed hour in
the churches and school buildings to
sing together the songs of the ages
and the songs of the hour. 1t is
| planned to hold similar meetings in
the near future which shall take
place simultaneously in cities and
towns and villages all over the coun-
| try.
Program of the First Song Day
The program of the original Song
Day was divided into four parts.
First came the Songs of the Nation,
represented by the Star Spangled
Banner" then a group of beloved
American melodies like "Old Folks
at Home" and Dixie" The division
of Community Songs included the
well-known "A Perfect Day." the
waltz music from the Chocolate
Soldier and other standard compo-
| sitions that have found their way
| into this category because of their
! lasting popularity with community
choruses.
! The best feature on the program,
in the opinion of many participants
at least, was the Songs of the
chance to join in the rollicking
chorus of Smile, Smile, Smile" and
to voice his pent up enthusiasm in
| Keep the Home Fires Burning"
and There's a Long, Long Trail"
Wide Interest Aroused in the Move
ment
The plans of the National Council
of Women have found an immediate
and hearty response on the part of
prominent men in military and civic
| life. A singing army and a singing
nation have in them the spirit of vic.
tory. Both Raymond Fosdck and
Ice f. Hammer, who are working
for the improvement of camp life
and the entertainment of the draft
ed man in his leisure hours, have
promised their cooperation in pro-
noting song rallies for the SOL
dieis. David Jayne Hill, of the
| American Defense Society, has ex-
pressed himself in favor of the Ma
tional Song Day, as has also the
president of the New York City
Board of Education. Prison and
hospital boards throughout the
country are much interested also.
Practical assistance of great value
will be given by some of the largest
film companies who will put the
songs on the screen wherever the
sings are held.
Mrs. David Allen Campbell is
chairman of the Community Music
Department of the National Council
of Women. and to her will fall a
large share of the task of arranging
the future Song Days. But the init
ial effort has already been success
fully made. The movement will un-
doubtedly advance of its own mo-
mentum from city to city and state
to state. America may soon indeed
he q singing nation.

cution of the war.

countrymen hourly are facing danger
and death for their country. the men
on strike have been granted exemp-
tions from those perls only because
their services are considered of more
value to the state in the workshops
than IN the army.
