SOME FORECASTS OF
AFTER-THE-WAR MUSIC

The Musical Courier has published
an interview with Adoifo Betti, which
looks beyond the war and endeavors
to forecast some of the conditions
after the sword has been sheathed.
Certain of these are quite interesting
Mr.. Bett Is no musical pessimist. He

ing of arts, with play it's great part
in the uplift of mems hearts as only
music can play It"
Again he says ''it used TO be that
people went to concerts because 1t
was the fashion. or from curiosity
to see and hear some noted artist
largely advertised as being paid an
enormous sum for his performances.
All that is now entirely changed.
People attend concerts because they
need to hear music. When one thinks
of the change in musical life here
within short time the situation
teens with tremendous results
As to the kind OF music that will
be written Mr. Betti is of the opinion
that it will be much simpler and less
complicated in spirit. Before the
war ii came from the brains after
he war it will come from the hea n. "
is the way he puts it. Music cannot
be great without being universal, that

everybody.

Famous Orchestra to &c Perpetuated
by Committee of Music
Lovers.

Boston. May 4.-~That the famous
Boston symphony orchestra has been
on the verge OF dropping out of exist
ence for a number of weeks became
known only with tho announcement
Of Major Henry l.. IIigginson, father"
of the organization since its founda
ton is 1881. that he had severed all
connection with the orchestra. The
declaration caused sensation in
musical circles.
1t is admitted by Major Higginsor
that II was his intention for a time to
disbaDd the organization, but he was
persuaded not to do so when a prac-
tical plan for its continuation for
music's sake alone was presented &c
him. The orchestra passes into the
hands of a corporate board of trustees,
composed of leading Boston men, all
music lovers
Major Higginson's action follows the
succession of disturbances which have
marked the. orchestra's career during
recent months. Trouble over enemy
aliens in the personnel reached a head
when DIR. Karl Muck, the leader, re-
fused to play THE Star -spangled Ban
ner at Providence. The refusal TO
play the selection was denied by
| Major Higginson, but the agiiatlons
have been so persistent that major,

Other than to say he was done

make any comment on his action or

IN CH|LOREN'S MUSIC
TRAINING

Some people pride themselves on
the fact that when they once make
up their minds on n subject they
never alter their decision. To make
that a general rule is no sign of big
ness. The really big mind does not
operate on the same principle as the
laws Of the Modes and Persians.
And SO when one finds person OF
good Judgment who has altered his
or her viewpoint, it is always instruc-
tive TO pry into the reasons for the
change The writer recently met a
mother who at one time believed II
better not to force A musical educa :
ton on a child If the child rebelled
against It She thought that with
out a delight in piano practice or at
least mild pleasure in the WORK
progress was impossible
Now this mother sees differently.

who blames his parents for the TACT
that he cannot play for the boys 10

fused to practice when he had the
opportunity. a brother of mine who
sings very nicely often expresses the
regret that he cannot play his own
accomplishments. He is seeing to H.
YOU may be sure. that his own boys
are taking music lessons regularly
Nv own two boys have said that their
sister had been favored because she
has always played SO acceptahly
when they were out spending the
evening and they could not. Ihe
boys did not stop TO consider that
they both were given the same chance
as their sister but while she made
the most of the opportunity, they
shirked their practices, giving more
thought to their games, Boy Scout
outings and such. NV mistake was
in becoming impatient at having 70

OF course children do not know

and then act accordingly. Insist on
the child's plugging on. His enjoy
