Need of More Music
In Homes Perceived

If American homes are the social
and economic centers around which
our great commonwealth revolves
then our first consideration should
be the development of the home in its
highest sense.
In the old fashioned home, before
the age when there were so many
~alluring entertainments outside of he
home, much of the joy of life came
from the Joy that was made in the
home by the people who lived in it.
The home circle is one of the great
est treasures in the memory of those
who have known one. Those who
have not are to be pitied. There is
no notwithstanding Just as good"
and nothing that can possibly take
its place.
Music has been the delight of mil
lions of homes. Music that the
people in the homes make themselves
rather than music they go out of the
home to hear. Let father, mother,
uncle and aunt do everything possible
to foster the love and study of music
among the children. This does not
merely mean preaching about it, but
taking a lively interest in music in
the home, playing with the children
and letting them take an active part
in home musical life.
One of the reasons why some child
rem do not take any interest in prac-
tice is that the little ones feel that
they have to carry the entire burden
of the work. Their parental advisors
tell them to practice but give no in
dication of ever attempting to help
them or set them an example.
Get together in little groups nov
and bring music right to your heart
side. The automobile, golf, moving
pictures and other interesting enter
tainment add a great deal to life, but
if they lead our American people
away from this great joy of music in
the home they will have been dearly
bought. I
The strength of the individual often
depends upon the strength of the
home, Boys and girls "go bad" not
so much because they are born bad
as because the home has been under
mined with vicious ~frivolity instead
of those things which make for fine
minds, clean bodies, high ideals
Music is n of the chief of these

M'Cormick Would Bar
Senate Floor To
Foreigners
by Universal Service.

Senator Medill Mccormick of
Illinois believes that members
of the British house of lords
and commons and all other for
eigners ought to be kept off
the floor of the Senate. He
has introduced an amendment
to the rules to withdraw this
privilege, which is now extend
ed to members of all foreign
parliam entary bodies.
While the war was on Nc
Cormick made a visit to Europe
and found an American Sen
ator could not enter even the
lobby of the British parlia-
ment nor the French chamber
of deputies unless the rules,
were suspended.
McCormick's ire was aroused
against this discrimination when
the arms conference assembled
here and the delegates who
were members of foreign par
liamentary bodies were permit
ted to come upon the Senate
floor. 1t was still further ag-
gravated during the recent visit
of Lord and Lady Astor, to
whom the floor privilege was
extended also.

Neighborhood House.

The oldest settlement house in
Washington is raising its annual bud
get OF $4,000, with an additional
$1,000 needed to make necessary re.
pairs to the roof. Neighborhood House
needs no Introduction to those who are
interested in social welfare. It's work
has been going on for many years. and
its sphere Of benefcent influence has
widened with the passing.
But others who have accepted life
in the National Capital as they have
found it. not bothering with affairs Of
other people, can have little idea Of
what such place as Neighborhood
House Is. or what it does, unless they
personally investigate the settlement.
1t constitutes one of the most inter-
esting experiments Of a great city.
Neighborhood House stands in the
wharves area not far from the foot Of
7th street. Here children Of the neigh
borhood are cared for by trained
workers, without any taint of patron.
izing the parents, and here children Of
all ages are taught useful work. The
settlement is famous for it's rugs
woven from rags, and for various
dyed stuffs. The girls are taught sew
ing and housekeeping. and the boys
various manual accomplishments.
Besides kindergarten there are
various clubs for Older boys and girls.
where all sorts Of social activities go
forward. Every spring the children
who use Neighborhood House give q
series Of plays, eliminating in May
pole festival. In the rear of the settle
ment is backyard theater." Every.
body should be acquainted with this
settlement, as a fine example of its
type. The necessity for raising its
budget will then become apparent to
any one.
