War Has Led to Singing
And Capital Is Reborn
In Music of the People

come to the future OF music in tn.
/ United States.
Developed Through Schools.
The broadest application of music,
! from a governmental standpoint, is
the development that is offered
| through the music of the public
schools Of the entire nation. Natur-
ally, this music does not supplant the
private teacher. Its most vital use is
to stimulate the students TO a greater
appreciation of music as a special
study by co-relating the results in
school with the accomplishment OFT
side OF school
To this end, music in the. public
schools is undergoing a constant evo-
luton at the present time that is
| tending toward. the recognition of
music as a major study in the high
schools, with an award of credits to
be included in the standard that must
be-reached for graduation.
Major music, naturally. must be
elective. Its recognition. however,
makes that elective study essentially
an educational one; thus elevatIug
ment to that of a standard in the
, schools.
HamIin- E. CogswelI, director of
music of the Washington. puolic
schools, outlined his plans for music
in Washington before a meeting at
the Wilson Normal School on Monday.
Wants Music Major Study.
DR.. Cogswell is making a, persis-
tent fight for music as a major study.
Its application needs the co-opera-
ttion Of the private teacher; for stu
ldent, to be listed as a major stu
dent in music, must take at least one
private lesson week of not less
than forty-five minutes, and must
practice not less than six hours a
week
The instruction may be for piano,
voice, violin, organ, or any instrument
of tho symphonic orchestra DR.. Cogs-
weH emphasizes a theoretical knowI-
edge in music as an essential, aside
from the performance of music. Sight
reading he considers a strong fea-
ture, The school orchestra is vital
department -. ...
One OF the most noticeable features,
in the method that has been estab-
lished under DR.. Cogswen, is that Of
the introduction of a systematic plan
/
for the orchestral instruments.
DR.. Cogswell has been doing this
work for nearly three years-holding
rehearsals after school hours. The
| Board Of Education appointed in Feb,
ruary an assistant to DR.. Cogswell, in
L E. Wittell, whose whole time is
devoted to the organization Of new
] orchestras, to instruction to violin
classes, and to the directing at va
rious school functions where the or.
| chestras play.
Mr.. Wittell has been working with
orchestras varying in number from
| five to twenty-five pieces. Several
hundred pupils are learning to play
| instruments Of their choice.

ultimately lead to the school choral
society, says DR.. Cogswell. The time
now devoted to music in the schools
is, however, but twelve minutes a
day, in the graded schools. In the
high schools there are two periods a
week OF forty-five minutes each. 9th
er music work is done outside OF
school hours.
Yet much is already accomplished.
and more is hoped for in the future.
Standardization in music is being
/ thrashed out throughout the country.
1t is still in the making.
The public schools, in time gone. by,
used music solely for singing, with
but little attention given to part
singing. Now they have singing reg
ody singing of the little ones, to part
singing, to glee clubs. and to large
choral forms.
Also, the schools have orchestras
with bands slowly developing. And a
recognition of instrumental music in
all forms. which has brought with II
another important branch of music
that OF music appreciation"
These are the children who make
the vast masses of the nation. Their
thoughts and their impulses are the
future Of the United States. Music has
found its place in the psychology and
in the sociology of the nation, during
the rigors of war.
To equip the child at school for this
service is to instill a spirit OF "giv
ing" a spirit of unity, greater eX-
perience in fellowship. For where
two or three are Joined together for

- their discord shatter it."
With harmony in action and in mo-
five, they may, indeed, live in new
day and help create America, the
Beautiful Of which we sing.
