In The WORLD OF MUSIC AND MUSICIANS
Music in Public Libraries

concerts have never thrived there, and
musical people do not live there. The
music department is used only by mu-
slclans who have the money and time
to travel to the capital. Such missions,
1t goes without saying, are rare. The
rational music library ought, of course,
20 be in New York, the great musical
centre of the country, where two
thirds of the country's musicians live,
and where five concerts and ten operas
arc given to every one in any other
city. Unfortunately. Congress, with
that wise prescience in artistic mat
tiers which has always characterized
1t, has decreed otherwise, and the mu-
sic department of the Congressional
Library, ably managed and lavishly
supported, has become the American
British Museum without any of the
British Museums public scrviceability.
The music department of the New
York Public Library is the musical
library of the vast majority of the
musicians Of New York which means
majority Of the musicians of the coun-
try. Musicians are VIGOROUSLY men
and women Of limited means and the
possession of scores, and especially of
full scores, is absolutely inhibited to
them. The only place they can consult
such scores is at the New York Public
Library, where the money regularly at
hand for the purchase of new music is
S22 month, the average price of one
orchestral score! Money is needed, and
needed badly. Mr.. Caruso. Nine. Far
rar Mrs. Lanier and MI Flagler have
already seen the need. Perhaps some
Will follow with q real endowment
so that the New York Public Library
may serve a public hungry for things
it cannot at present get without jour
neying to Washington a journey which
It cannot take.

Bv Granville Vernon

For some unaccountable reason there
is an extraordinary lack of knowl-
edge among the general public of
the important part being played by the
New York Public Library in the mu-
seal life Of the city. The music de-
paytmout Of the great building at Fifth
Avenue and Forty-second Street is not
a museum of musical antiquities, a
place for memories overlain with dust;
it is q vital centre of New York's, and
indeed of ,he nations. musical life, but
centre left practically to its own
devices and its own support. The
amount of money at hand for the pur-
chase Of books and scores is at present
SO month, Out of this sum, and an oc-
cas;onal pooling of interest in auctions,
must come all new books which are
not the product of gifts. Yet, aside
from the original DreXel collection and
the invaluable gift or operate scores
both vocal and orchestral from the Ii
brary of the late Julian Edwards, the
gifts have been few and far between
and 1t is only very recently that any
definite effort has been made to OBJ
tain outside donations for the pur-
chase of new material.
The new campaign, launched within
only the last few months, has already
received few modest returns. Enrico
Caruso and Geraldine Farrar have each
donated 500. and Margarethe Matte
nauer has promised a like sum, which
money Will probably be used in the
purchase OF operate orchestral scores.
In addition to these gifts. Mrs. j. f. d.
Lanier has raised $3.50 in behalf of the
Society of the Friends of Music. Mr..
Harry Hardness Flagler has given 500
and gifts have been received from Mrs.
Willard Straytt, Francis Rogers. Mabel
Garrison and others. These donations
are. OF course, only beginning, for the
cost of music, and especially of orches-
tral scores. is very high, and the lacu-

Whether music critics are better or
worse than they were in the good old

ably they are different. for who could

schoolhouse at Omsk, he declared his
government would never compromise

he had more courage than power.
Afkxentien believed in strong

was necessary to the success Of the
anti-bolshevist movement. but he did
not believe in that army having SUI
