Organization in this connection may
be defined as the natural response of
all matter to constructively directed
energy. Initiative is the first step in
organization and in man is imagina-

Music is organized sound.

octaves of sound.
For the average human being! folk
songs and melodies which live in
definitely are the best regulators of
vibrations that find their response in
the nerve and muscular tissue of the
body, stimulating the Imagination and
