NEED HUMAN NOTE IN
COMMUNITY SINGS
Without It beneficial Results Are
Lacking, Barnhart
Declares.

A plea for a more h,,man note IN COM
munity singing at industrial plants, was
the KEYNOTE Of talk given the members
of the Kiwanis Club at their weekly lunch
con 1T the Hotel du Pont yesterday
aftc rnocn by Harry Barnhart, of the
Community chorus. Mr.. Rsrnhart was
the guest Of the club and during the
lu nchcon with the aid Of Fred Watson, his
pianist led the club members in the sing
ing Of some old time songs.
Mr.. Barnhart chcse for his topic,
sCommunity Singing III Industry and he
spoke for more than thirty minutes on
the subject.
"Much OF the community sings held at
industrial plants today he said ''are of
no good the community or the singers
themselves. There is not so much lack of
harmony as OF true human relation" ]"
"Onlv a few days ago was at the Ohio
c;ty where the National Cash Register
Company has its big plant. l was the
guest of the president of that concern.
They have an immense thcater or audi
torium modernlv equipped and there arc
many things with which to attract and
please.
"Wben il came time TO sing there was
thrown on one side of the screen the words
of the Battle Hymn of the Republic, and
on the other side pictures showing the
progress of battle.
..When the whole affair was over Prrsi-
dent Patterson asked me what thought
of it :. Cut it out ! said. You have 100
per cent efficiency with the idea of pleasing
but one man. What you need is something
to attract the human note in the employe.
The scheme of the Welfare manager of
the plsnt had been to attract the eye and
not the soul of the man.
"a Sunday ago, l heard choir Of
Russians sing, and how they could sing.
First they sang chant and they were
wonderful. saw a man there who could
not understand the words but he realized
the meaning and the tears rolled down his
cheeks. That's the kind of singing we
need"
MIR. Barnhart referred to n vision he
had once of singing multitude, and later
this came through in the singing armies
of Russia.
