Musicians Insisting on
 a Ministry of Fine Arts

E EDUCATORS have been urging A for years past the establish ment of department of education as branch of the cabinet, with secretary in charge of all cultural affairs; including ministry of fine arts. The National Education Asso- citation has indorsed the movems snt, and along with this broad step to- ward spiritual upbuilding, the lead ing musicians of the country con- stituting the Musical Alliance, of which John c. Freund is president, urge music as one of the outstanding features.
 Education and musical art go we'll together. Music will never come to its own in the United States until it has the patronage of the government. Two bills have been introduced in Congress providing for a great national conservatory. One of these measures provides for four branches, each with a board of re- gents appointed by the President of the United States. But compara- lively little interest has been mani fested in the project, and the prob ability is that nothing will come of it, although the scheme is worthy of con- sideration.
 The fact that the Musical Alliance is making slow progress should not cause it to despair. A fresh impetus has already been given the movement by enlisting the interest of politicians and statesmen, as well as masters of harmony and musical pedagogy. Many brief interviews with men of political activity appear in this weeks Musical America, showing the prac- tical good that would result in min istry of fine arts with a strong ac- cent on music. Several well-knoWn statesmen come out emphatically for the measure, but most of them in- cline to the opinion that the time is not yet ripe for it.
 Representative "Uncle Joe" Cannon of Illinois had this to say: Don't rush it! I am for it-but don't rush it. I am for anything that will make bad musicians good musicians, and good musicians better musicians, but I am just old fashioned enough to think the country has issues enough just now, and that Congress has bitten off about all it can masticate gracefully. Count me for it, but don't rush. The vet eran lawmakers remarks have an honest and hearty ring. They are hopeful, too.
 The ministry of fine arts will come by and by. Only don't rush. fThe thing for MT. Freund and his fellows to do is to keep steadily at work. x Ss x

Entertained RoyaIly

Tt Is reasonably certain that Bir- mingham will get the 1922 convention of the National Association of Real Estate Bureaus" said Fred M. Cum bus, secretary of the Birmingham Real Estate Exchange
 '"The last time the convention was in the south, when the conference was held in New Orleans some years ago, the delegates. were entertained royal ly in Birmingham, and the city was well advertised.
 This year, the convention is held in the west, and next year 1t will go north, presumably to Baltimore. The year after that, 1922, it will come back to the south and Birmingham will make every effort to land it.
 '"The local delegation to Kansz City this year Is the largest in history. It will have about twelve men who are determined to SOW in the minds of the delegates Birmingham and it's good points as convention city. We have had printed 10000 pieces of literature to be distributed at the convention and had secured a number of ribbons to be worn by the local delegation in their vests and hats, saying, "Bir- mingham in 1922"

Notable Example


 Last Sunday man was buried in Gwin's beat whose life was notable one and ought to be an inspiration to every boy in Jefferson county" says Rev. M. M. Wood, secretary of the Alabama Baptist State Convention.
 1T speak of Sam Parsons. He was born Just before the war and brought up in it, and then passing through the awful days of reconstruction, had little chance for an education. but he be- lieved in it and put three of his sons through the University of Alabama. It's this kind of a father who Is worth while. Too frequently educated men are willing to neglect the education of their children, but Sam Parsons. knowing what he had missed. saw to it that none of his offspring lacked school and college advantages"

No Rough Stuff on Parade

Birmingham will be the scene of gay festivities Monday when the Shriners gather for their ceremonial" said John R. T. Rives. There will be 750 candidates to be escorted across the hot sands at this time and fea- ture of the parade will be the fact that no humiliating pranks will be all lowed. New candidates who have re- gently taken the Shrine and have been looking forward to revenge on the new members will be disappointed on this occasion. Usually the candidates arc painted up locked together and dressed in various ways by other shriners and forced to march through the streets In this manner. Shriners from all over the district will attend the ceremonial which promises to be the largest ever held by Zamora Temple"
