MUSIC BRINGS
REAL PLEASURE
Industries Also Find En-.
ployer and Force Are
Aided.

Samuel Gompers, in a speech be-
fore the conference of represent
atives of community organizations
held in this city in March, said:
The community movement has
done more for true democracy than
anything else" He went on to say
that every man craved association
with his fellow man.
Music and mass singing in the
factories and mercantile houses has
been found by the National Bureau
for the Advancement of Music to
bring about a better understanding
between all those who participate,
as well as bringing pleasure and
relaxation. Better understanding
between individuals in the groups,
better understanding between
groups in the larger assembly, and
better understanding between office
force and productive force is GER
tain to result, and the way is thus
paved for a more united effort
Nothing resembles a big family af-
fair more than the frequent noon
day sing where office force, buyers,
statesmen, stenographers, superin-
tendents. factory and truck drivers
all stand together singing from the
same song sheet.
Music helps both the employer
and yemploye. Music in industry is
valuable to the employer because it
increases production; it enlarges the
zone of agreement upon which en-
ployer and employe can negotiate,
and it cuts down the turnover. From
the view point of the employe 1t
breaks the Inonotony OF the work
ing day; it gives a social interest
and a chance for the expression of
individual talents and it makes for
better acquaintance and closer
friendship.

MARION HARRIS
HAS NEW SONGS

Marion Harris, the little vaude-
Vile artist who has done a lot
to make blues songs popular, has
two new syncopated laments on Co
lumbia records this month. In "Oh
Judge (He Treats Me Mean)" she
tells her troubles as a wife, and in
He Done Me Wrong she tells her
troubles as a sweetheart. Whatever
troubles Marion tells are good for
a whole lot of laughs
Frank Crumit makes an eloquent
plea for jazz in that ragtime melody
Don't Take Away Those Blues.
His ''Good-by, Dixie Good-by," Is
a Southern syncopation with a real
appeal.
The Paul Biese Trio trots through
its best PAGES in its two new fox
trots. In Sweet September" is its
dance version of Al Jolson's --latest
song hit and Sweet Sugar Babe
is a Southern melody.

Rival for Victor Dog Appears.

The fame of the noted Victor dog
threatens to be darkened by a cat.
A Washington dealer in ViCtrolas
received recently a letter written
by some one in this city to the man
ufacturer of a talking machine not
so well known as the Victor. The
letter read as follows: Il noticed
your machine at the - COM
pany here. They had a picturesque
display of the Victor dog and I
wondered If you would be interested
in a cat entitled Her Mistress
Voice to call or rather attract at
tention to your machine, as yours
plays all records.
1T would only be giving the cat
equal popularity as the dog and
create interest. Will send models
at your request. l do not think 1t
is copying after the Victor dog It
is only giving the kitten equal
rights"

DEAN OF SCHOOL TALKS
The Rev. W. Coleman New

Is Ennobling.
DEAN OF SCHOOL TALKS

Georgetown University has paid a
distinct tribute to the influence of
good music by including a course in
The Appreciation of Music in its
curriculum This course will con-
sist of a series of weekly lectures
to be given by Edward p. Donovan.
ABB, organist and choir director of
St Paurs Catholic Church and
teacher of the piano at the uniyer-
sity.
This branch of learning has been
considered SO important that It is a
compulsory study in the senior class
and is not in any sense an elective.
Henceforth any student who aspires
to the degree of Bachelor of Arts
must have completed successfully
the matter that will make up this
branch and pass a satisfactory eI-
animation before he can receive his
degree
The Rev. W. Coleman Nevils. S.J..
dean Of the school OF arts and
sciences of Georgetown University
makes the following statement with
regard to this course
As n part of a new course on the
appreciation of art music will be
given prominent position at
Georgetown University. The cul-
tursl effect of good music cannot be
denied; il can de more than any
language to carry a message that
viii inspire and ennoble- 1t may be
said TO be natures Esperanto-a
universal language that receives re
sPonse the world over. Its influ-
ence on all literature has been po-
tent Newman, the greatest master
Of English style, was a devoted
adept OF music and a violinist OF
some note. He has written some
where that music is the expression
Of ideas greater and more profound
than any in the visible world A
liberal education should embrace the
appreciation of good music. 1t were
a forlorn day when our educators
should shut their eyes and close
their ears to its cumulative effect
upon the development of the whole
man"
The lectures will be accompanied
by a standard text book of music as
a further means Of making clear the
material and different forms OF
musical art. Illustrations Will be
given Of the different types of COM
positions and certain phases of the
history of music will be dealt with
also. 1t is hoped that a student
after having completed this pre-
scribed course. will have an intel
ligent understanding of what good
music really is
Mr.. Donovan, the newly appointed
lecturer, has received his entire
training in this city and is an
slumnus of Georgetown University

elor Of Arts in 1911. He held sever
al Positions as organist and choir

is Mrs. Katie Wilson-Greene, of this
city. Mrs. Greene, whose name is
familiar to every lover of good mu-
sic in Washington. entered the man

broader and greater insight into

than singing or vocal teaching.

Wilson. had a large class of vocal
pupils who won success as the result
OF her teaching. Her marriage to
