Greatest Development in Music Follows
Great War Says National Chairman

A resume Of the speech made by
Anne Faulkner Oberndorfer, national
music chairman, General Federation
of Women'si clubs before the state
federation at Bismarck this week fol-
lows, and will be n source of much
interest to those who were able to
hear 1t delivered:
At no time in the history of the
world has any nation faced such an
opportunity for the development of
a national art as that which lies before
America today. From every great
war in the past some n nation has
arisen supreme in political and com
mercial Importance. Then begins the
development of it's arts, and. If we re-
view tie pages of musical history, we
will find that the greatest growth IN
music always follows some great war.
We Americans ave had the wrong
attitude regarding music for so many
years that it is difficult for us to grasp
quickly the full realization of its pow
err. AS a nation we have treated mu-
sic as a thing apart from, instead of
a par of, our daily life. 1t is not so
many years ago that the average
American business man was all but
ashamed to acknowledge a love for
music: Now a change has come. Mu-
sic has become a force and not an
adjunct in the life of every American
citizen. The 'pre-war status of mu-
sic in, America will never return.
.Confucius nee said: IF you
would know If a country is well GOV
erned and otSgood morals, listen to Its
music" The folk music of n land
Is it's most important musical asset
yet it has only been recently that we
in America have come to realize the
wealth of our own folk material: We
are just beginning to recognize the
marvellous strength of our Indian mu
sic, just as we are at last discover
ing the true worth Of the Indian
legends. In the native song of the
American Negro are to be found the
most interesting and unique express
sion ever contributed to literature
and music by a primitive folk.
The General Federation of Won
ems clubs has pledged it's support to
all good American music. What are
we to do about it? First, we mus
familiarize ourselves with the music
that ia being used in our honses. our
clubs, our schools, u churches. Sun
day schools, theaters. moving picture
houses: and the music that is being
advertised in our shops, magazines
and newspapers. We will bd surprts'
ed; we may eve be horrihed with
what we will find. but 1t Is time thai
we knew. When you consider the
titles. the pictures on the covers, one
does not need to look at the words
themselves to know that the song is
vile.

than Chief Porky.
