Must " asch Their Pens

Whcreupon, to strengthen her
arguments, she read passages from
one of Woodrow Wilson's books.
The way in which women pub
lie speakers keep account of the
speeches made by public men and the
books they write would make it seem
that political aspirants in the future
would do we'll to watch their speech
and their pens, lest the women rise
up with their words and smite them
or their friends.
Mrs. Douglas Robinson has devel-
oped into one of the foremost OF
woPen speakers in the Republican
party. She can speak anywhere any
time. One man, politician in type,
in describing ker said, as he tipped
back in his chair and showed his hat
to one side:
you women don't know much, but
y can learn. I heard Mrs. Doug
las Robinson speak the other night,
and I tell you she was as good as
any man | ever heard"
Mrs. Charlotte FaFrar Is in
charge of the New York Office which
is directing the speakers bureaus
which the Republican party is estab-
fishing throughout the country. Mrs
Ruth Lift has charge of the New
York State bureau directing the en-
largement of courses of instruction
in various counties.
Westchester, Steuben and Che
mung counties now have bureaus,
and Onondaga, Madison and Queens
counties are scheduled for schools at
an early date.
The schools are, of course, open
only to enrolled Republican women
Suffrage work was a great prepara-
tory course, and many of the women
who have advanced in the field of the
women orators most have been suf-
frage speakers.

Mrs. Arthur Livermore, chairman
Of the women's executive committee
of the Republican State Committee,
started these schools for coming
political orators. The New York
state organization became so we'll
developed that the women's division
of the Republican National Commit
tee adopted the plan and has sent
national organizers out to establish
similar schools in other states.
Illinois now has a school which Is
preparing not only against conven-
sion days, but for the summers cam

head of the school. Another school

favor of a return to congregational
singing. In 1912 he urged it once
more, saying on that occasion:
"The most ancient and correct
ecclesiastical tradition in regard to
sacred music encouraged the whole
body of the people to take an active
part in the liturgical service, the
people singing the common mass,
while a schola cantorum sings the
varied and richer parts of the text
and of the melodies, thus alternat-
ing with the people"
Of the Gregorian chant in par
ticular he said:
"Gregorian chant has always been
regarded as the supreme model for
sacred music, SO that it is legitimate
to lay down the following rule: The

TO American Catholics that congre-

-Four years ago, after as many
years of study in Rome of the music
IF the church, she established the
Plus x Chair Of Liturgical Music
at the Convent Of the Sacred Heart
at 133d Street and Convent Avenue,
and from that school teachers have
gone out to Catholic schools, churches
and seminaries all over America
and in Canada to teach the singing
Of the Gregorian chants, and par
ticularly to teach the chants to the
children.
Five thousand children will gather
in st. Patrick's Cathedral Tuesday
for q three days festival to prove
to their elders the beauty and prac-
ticability of the Gregorian chants.

Psalms and hymns Of praise. The
music was handed down from ages
now forgotten, and WAS preserved
as ancient legends were preserved.
There was in it some of the music of
the Greeks, some Of the Latin, and,
as was to be expected in the Church
of Christ that had its roots in Pales-
tine, there was much of Hebrew
melody.
For five hundred years after the
Church Of Rome was founded there
was no written record Of the music
Of the chants, but near the end Of
the sixth century Of the present era
Pope Gregory I laboriously collated,
arranged and recorded them. His
were the first written records Of the
! chants Of the Catholic Church, and
from this fact the chants take their
name Gregorian.
Records Of the tenth and eleventh
centuries show that for many hun
dreds Of years along with the bed Of
/ st. Gregory was preserved the cane
with which he was accustomed to
chastise recalcitrant pupils in his
music classes, for st. Gregory was
not only one Of the greatest of the
Popes, but he had been lawyer and
was Of an austere and monastic
habit.
The records OF st. Gregory were
written In neumes or characters
formed from the accents over the
letters in the written language, the
accents grave, acute and circumhex.
All the characters were on the same
line and did not indicate in any way
the tone but only the general drec-
ton of the chant, rising or falling.
1t was not until two hundred or
three hundred years later that
the tone began to be recorded by
the system of the scale with the
neumes placed on a ladder of
four lines and in the intervals
between the lines. Yet an ex>
animation of two hundred manu-
scripts from as many different mon
asteries and covering long period
Of years shows with what fidelity
the primitive form of the chant was
preserved by the simple method of
handing down from generation to
| generation.
New-York tribune., 1920-05-30
Sung by Thousands

Dom Ambrose k1enle says:
"The difficulty was not great, for
the simple chant lived by the liturgy
and in the liturgy. Each day its
melodies resounded from midnight
until after sunset in thousands of
cathedrals and monasteries. The en-
tire liturgy was chanted by numer-
Gus choir, for most Of the abbeys
held hundreds Of monks, and those
who chanted were those who regard
ed the divine Office as sacred duty,
the most noble Of missions and the
goal Of their lives. Also, the mon
asteries were privileged ground and
in some sort the home Of the chant.
The daily exercise Joined to a pro-
New-York tribune., 1920-05-30

1OuuV hIlCWACuBC VA aiAA ~ AA6A SS-
TEEN for the liturgical chant per-
mitted the monks to enter more deep
ly into the spirit Of the Gregorian
chant than is possible to-day"
Much the same thing as IS said Of
the monasteries can be said Of the
cathedrals and colleges, where the
chant was living language and
where no pains were spared to pro-
cure singers Of the highest rank. The
Council of Aix-la-C -Chapelle said In
SIG:
''The singer should be chosen as
much for his art as for his voice,
in order that not only by the subim-
ity Of the words but also by the
suavity of the melodies the spirit Of
the hearer may be raised to the love
of celestial things"
The office Of leader Of the singing
was of great Importance In ancient
times and carried with it consider
able prerogatives. In English cathe-
drals he occupied place in the choir
after the dean, and the two sides Of
the choir were known as the side of
the dean and the side Of the chanter.
In the monasteries the chanter was
also the librarian, and when the alb
bot was absent the chanter replaced
him in the choir. In the records Of
Cluny it is said that the chanter
had no superior save the abbot"
and the same rule is found in the
records Of other monasteries.
Unchanged for 500 Years
1t Is notable that for five hundred
years there was practically no
change in the ancient chants. But,
of course, there could not be and
there was no attempt to conhne the
singing or the knowledge of music
to the monasteries, cathedrals and
schools. Many Of the laty were pro-
foundly interested in music, and
there we're schools Of music and
teachers Of singing outside the
Church, but based on the Church
music. There resulted from this
new theories Of music and new sys-
tens of notation which included eff
forts to indicate the length of notes,
and while there was no tamDering
with the melody in the course of the
next five hundred years, from the
tenth to the sixteenth centuries there
came about a gradual change in the
chants that led to the orders that
time has changed to a tradition of
prohibition of congregational sing
ing in Catholic churches.
When the Council of Trent took
up the reform Of the liturgy it rec
commended the banishment from the
churches Of all "lascivious and i'm
pure music" It was left to the pro-
vincial synods to determine the man
ner Of chanting the divine Offices.
But the result Of this edict was a
flood Of efforts to reform the music
of the Church. At the same time
came the discovery of printing, and
every reformer was able to get his
theories and textbooks before the
public while some were able to get
some kind Of papal sanction for
their efforts.
Within comparatively few years
every country had its own form Of

church music, while usually there
were several different forms In use
in each country. The people were
no longer able to follow the rapidly
changing fashions; choirs and SOLO
lists had to be specially trained, and
by the middle Of the seventeenth CEN
tury congregational singing had died
out in the Roman Catholic Church
and the impression had got abroad,
which was soon to change into the
tradition, that it was forbidden.
The Reformation's Effect
The Reformation aided the death
Of congregational singing in Eng
land. Catholicism was obnoxious to
the state and the people, and mass
had to be celebrated in crypts and
New-York tribune., 1920-05-30
Opposed in America

opposed In America
Still, there was, especially in
America, a great inertia and pow
erful if not intensely active opposi-
ton to overcome. In this country
the tradition against congregational
singing was hard to combat, for the
history of the church here was
against singing by the congrega-
ton. 1t had never been known.
America was discovered and the
church established its outposts
after congregational singing had
been killed in the Old World. More
over, allied to tradition was the
moro powerful factor Of laziness.
The adult did not want the trouble
of learning the chants. He pre-
2erred letting the priests and the
paid or volunteer choir assume the
burdens of worship, and to fortify
himself in his position the adult
tried to keep the children from
learning the chants He declared
that it was too much to ask this
effort of the children, they had
enough to do to learn to recite the
liturgy without asking them to
learn to sing it.
But the tired Catholic business
man failed to reckon with Mrs. Cabot
Ward. Mrs. Ward was the daughter
OF William Bayard Cutting. 1t was
the attraction the music Of the
Catholic church held for her that
led her to become Catholic, &C
cording to Mother Stevens Of the
Convent of the Sacred Heart. The

almost safe to say that there will be
