The Aeolian-Vocalion record, as
demonstrated at Washington's Aeo-
liam Hall. the o. J. DeMOll & Co.'S mu-
sic rooms, is presenting something
new and significant in a more scien-
tific system used in its reproduction.
This new record is particularly
noteworthy for the clear diction of
its singing voices and for the rich
ness Of its music.

bring a picture into the appreciation

How music became a Government
activity as part Of the training of
the vast citizen army OF the United
States in the great world war is told
most interestingly by Peter W.
Dykema, who was called to Wash
ington by the commission on training
camp activities as army song leader,
with the further assignment later Of
director of singing of the student
army training corps throughout the
country, an assignment that covered
the military song training OF $50

ton in war is one Of the remarkable

people. Unanimously they agree that
music has been a boon companion.
And now, through its unquestioned
effect in the camps, the Government
has made mass singing a part OF the
regime Of the regular army.

him from his special profession, was

Remarkable Love for Music

These are some Of the surprising
things l found" And Mr.. Dykema
tabulates them quickly and decisively.
"A remarkable love for music-the
men loved to sing.
Tremendous vitality of the men
when they sing.
"One thing is very evident-the
permanent contribution Of singing to
the moods and the morale of the men.
Another thing" and in this Mr..
Dykema grew. most enthusiastic. THE
American soldier has discovered and
demonstrated that The Star-Spangled
Banner isaa- singabIe tune! Before
the war, for some reason-propagan
da- weak lungs OF current opinion
lit was always spoken of as a song not
to sing.
"The soldiers have shown that we
can have a thrilling, sustained rendi-
ton Of every note of The Star-Span-
gled Banner The song is not an OBJ
stacle-the idea existed either through
ignorance or lack Of patriotism. II
is a song for virile, vigorous, thrill
ing Americans.
Another striking thing"-Mr. Dy-
kema's observations are from very
road acquaintance with men all over
the country-"is the catholicity of
taste Of the men in service.
Snap. vigor. rhythm. humor, all
appeal to them-but again, they
sing beautiful lyric songs with as
great response, the great folk songs,
and the finer ballads.
"One noticed. however. that our
white soldiers are one-voiced sing
ers, unison singers. In that respect
they have yet long way to go. The

negro soldiers have a wonderful
harmonic development"
The commission on training camp
activities is the War Department or
ganization that had charge of all
military. Under its supervision are
seven allied associations, the Y. NJ
C. A. the knights of Columbus, the
Jewish Welfare Association, the War
Camp Community Service, etc.
The commission on training camp
activities provided singing for the
men in the camps. The War Camp
Community Service, outside the
camps parallels in the community
the singing which the commission
conducts in the camps. And in order
to make the parallel more effective
the commission has from the begin
ming of its work encouraged its
camp song leaders to go out into
the adjoining cities TO conduct
sings" for the W. G. c. S.
That is how the choral Sundays,
the Sunday sings" at Central High
School. came into existence, through
the extension into the community
of the work Of this branch of the
army and navy, through it's special
agency the War Camp Community
Service
The work Of these army song
leaders in the community has not
been a compulsory duty, but their
services for the cities has been a
recognized factor by the military
authorities.

ballads (.'Miekey" and Rose OF No

such as Pack Up Your Troubles" and

demonstration is rather unique.

lists, and names OF the leaders, A card

them, and the audience will prove the
success OF the combination by its re-
Spouse in the singing. and by its
appreciation, in applause. Of the re-
suits.

tiles. who brought the matter to
these musicians for solution"
AS in all walks of life, this enroll
ment meant the readjustment of the
music work of each individual. For
instance, when the problem arose in
the university, the statement was
made that the Government had de-
creed that an uninterrupted educa-
tional system was one of the essen
tials Of the nation, and should not be
disturbed.
In order to meet this ediCt Mr..
Dykema was asked-in the summer
of 1917-to divide his time between
Camp Grant, at Rockford, Ill. and
the University OF Wisconsin, but the
demands of new courses in the uni
yersity made this impossible.
Answered the Call.
1t was in June Of 1918 that Peter
W. Dykema, casting aside all uni
versity work, answered the call and
came to Washington with the title
of army song leader. He. was assign
ed to the camps in and about the
city. and was asked to develop COM
munity singing in the city itself.
In the fall of 1915 the Student Army
Training Corps had developed in the
universities and he became director
OF singing of the Student Army Train
ing Corps throughout the entire
country.
What did this mean? For three
months prior to the armistice it
meant supervision of the $50 insti
buttons where music had become
established in the work OF the S. A.
T. c. In this time nineteen confer
ences were held. Mr.. Dykema trav-
eIed from Boston as far west as Kan
sas, and both north and south be-
tween these points.
This was followed by the Reserve
officers Training Corps. numbering
about $50 institutions. From the ex-
periences of the leaders in all these
varied activities there was collected
material which is being issued in
bulletin as guide for music in the
permanent camps and regular army
posts.
All through the war mass singing
was not used in the regular army. 1t
is now being made part of the regu-
lar army regime, and is under direc-
ton of Capt. John B. Marshall, army
song leader. who has entered the
regular service and will act in this
capacity. Captain Marshall is now
stationed in Washington. Formerly
he was professor Of music at Boston
University.
