ebrations. What this means can
perhaps best be understood when one
stops to consider that some of the
Oldest folk-songs, Scotch, Irish, In
dian and the like, that we hear now
adays have been handed down to us
without the aid of the printed page,
passing down from generation to
generation as a national heritage.
Many of these melodies, If traced.
would be found to date back, among
the English, to the time of Alfred.
and, among the Scotch, to the orig
inators of the famous old clans. The
same is true of all nations which can
boast of a store of traditional melo-
dies.
Copy-plate Printing Made Music
Scores Permanent
1t was in 1886 that the real mar
manency of scores was assured. AZ
that time, Simon Verovio, an ItaI-
ian, improved on the German nrint-
ing press by inventing copper plate
printing, thus making possible the
popular possessions of those musical
masterpieces which are part and
parcel or every man who to-day calls
nlmselr a lover of the art. And in
the same manner, it has made nos
slole freer musical expression and
experimentation among those novicas

ened to an appreciation of the great
composers.

and only half-hearted musical work
can be done under such conditions
Educators generally have been
against music because q cut and
dried examination could not be given
In this subject. These educators did
not nave sense enough to know that
although surface examination
could be given regarding the symbols
OF music, that no living soul could
put on paper the appreciation, the
JOY, the emotion that is within U.S.
IL cannot be measured with q yard
stick. Now that these same learned
gentlemen are coming to the con-
clusion that examinations in all sub
1ects can be done away with, per-
maps music will be allowed to come
In at the main entrance and take q
seat further front.
Many supervisors of music point
out Immediately to visitors "how
well these young folks read music"
Mark you, not how we'll they sing.
No pride in beautiful tone, phrasing;
shading and rythmical values. No
pride In artistic expression and ap-
prectation. No recognition of the
TACT that good music reader is not
necessarily an artistic interpreter of
music, or creator of fine tone quail
ity. And. this writer's experience
with school graduates, does not war
rant the belief that even good mu-
sic readers are developed. What has
been done musically in the public
schools has been teaching of the
symbols of music, rather than music
itself. Music must be felt, not seen.
symbols appeal to the eye, but mu-
sic appeals to the ear. The real
reading of music mbodies-mentaI
measurement from one pitch to an
other right accent, precision in note
lengths, a we'll defined rythmical
sense, refined tonal quality, clean at
tack, ability to vary the power, q
sense of proportion, and good taste
in phrasing. 1t is useless and waste
full to aim at anything less than this.
No community is really helpless If
1t Will bestir itself, and if this mat
ter is properly taken hold of we may
with confidence look forward to be-
ing nation of music lovers instead
of music tasters. Our young peo-
pie would more readily interest
themselves in church choirs and
singing societies, which is tremen-
dously better than some of the
things which now interest them.
Music has been the under dog long
enough. The whole nation has been
held back musically, because music
was not made a part of the school
life of Young America, long ago. If
music in the schools is not worth
while, let us abandon it; If it is
worth while, for Heavens sake let
us do it with a wholeheartedness
and fervor that will put us, as a ma
ton, on our feet musically, and let
us begin at once.

THE UNDER DOG
BY JOHN.W. PHILLIPS

America is trying to be a musical
nation. 1t is making a mighty ef-
Tort Just now through Jealous in
diViduals and certain musical maga-
zines, These forces are making the
mistake of thinking America can be
made musical while Europe is spit-
ung on its hands and getting the
presses ready to start another pre-
Iuue. Ihese musical gentlemen are
no doubt sincere in their efforts
They seem to have the idea that It
Is Just matter of a hundred-yard
oash' TO be accomplished before the
Postlude is ended in Europe. The
diagnosis Is wrong. Making America
lruiy musical Is not hundred-yard
uash but a marathon race with a
sooo distance yet to go. It is all
very well to encourage American
artists and music, that is worthy and
uheIy, but what about the audi
ences In the very largest cities
only, can a comparatively unknown
artist be sure. of a fairly good audi
ence.
A city like our own would not
turn out as many as a corporaPs
guard to greet an artist who had not
achieved beforehand success. Some
may argue that this is a sign of
Harrlsourg's good taste. Nonsense.
This, and many, many other cities
Oh like size only know a compare
lively few names in music, and those
rev names will last some people until
they die-and after. They consider
any artist not familiar to them a
FISK, and sooner than take a risk
they stay home, not realizing that
the more they hear, the more they
can appreciate. There are always q
few musical people in every city, of
course, who keep in touch with mu-
slcaI happenings, by reading a mu-
sical weekly or two, but, even these
good souls are not always present
at concerts. To make America mu-
sical then, will require the making
OF musical audiences to begin with.
The place to start is in the public
schools.
Music in Public Schools
Did somebody whisper that we
had already started. o, yes, the edu-
Gator says we have adoyted music in
our schools. Yes, it was an adopted
child, taken in with a lukewarm well
come, and it has not thrived in a
healthy manner, because it has been
shunted and cuffed and kicked. and
made to take the most lowly posi-
ton in the educational household.
A case in our own city not long
ago was reported where a teacher
had spent fifteen minutes teaching
music to her class, and the principal
caustically said, Aren't you spend
ing too much time on music 2" There
is no hope for music in the schools
while this foolish attitude prevails.
