tionaI Autocracy in U. S.

cational bills have been introduced be-

cation in America
1--WE want no Prussian scheme Of
state control here" he said.
The Rev. James ]. Dean, o. s. A.
president of Villanova College, who pre-
sided at the convention, said that the

Americas school system by giving too
much power to officeholders In Wash
ingtor.

the labor conditions are as unstable as

DOOM OF ]AzzSEEN
BY Won STERNBERG
Predicts End of "Swash" Tunes
at National Meeting of Music
Teachers Here
ERRATlC MUSICIANS RAPED

The day is coming when home fires
will not be kept burning to ragtimc,
so called jazz and other swash tunes"
This prediction was made today by
Constantin Won Stcrnberg at the forty
first annual meeting of the Music
Teachers National Association, at the
Hotel Adelphia.
The forecast concerning jazz music
and suggestion by another speaker
that Just punishment be meted out to
erratic musicians were striking features
of the meeting. It was attended by
musicians of prominence from all parts
Of the United States.
Great Era for Music
After welcoming the delegates, Mr..
Won Sternberg, who presided, said that
the present was great day for music.
and assorted that the big cities of the
United States form an almost unbroken
line of symphony orchestras.
Speaking OF the progress made by
achievement of the American music
teacher is the conquering of the Puri-
tan and Quaker prejudices against
music. The war brought music to a
focus in the United States, and hone
that this is but stepping stone to the
highest ideals"
1t was at this point Mr.. Won Stern =
berg made the reference to ragtime and
jazz. He urged more interest in the
beautiful compositions of MacDowel
and Beethoven.
Punishment of erratic musicians wos
advocated by Waldo S. Pratt, of Hart :
ford Conn.
Some musicians are detrimental to
the profession" he said. "Tbey AFRO
fools and cranks, and content to shut
themselves up with their music These
! call menace to society. They should
not ne derorted on ship, but some :
thing should be done with them"
Pleads for Higher Standard
1t is on account of such self -centercd
individuals as these the speaker said.
that people speak of musicians with a
deploring shrug of the shoulders. He
urged that music schools take up other
topics in addition to the teaching of
music, and asked the teachers to CO.
operate with the public schools to i'm e
prove the standing of music generally.
james Francis Cooke, of this city,
urged the founding of united music or
ganization to combat the present evil of
selling poems. He also advocated that
plans be taken to prohibit the illegiti-
mate publication and Encouragement
of music.
Addresses were also made by Hugh
A. Clarke, of this city, and Anton l..
Manchester, of Mexico, Mo.
