The Brattleboro daily reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1913-1955, 1922-08-19
SUBTLE CORRUPTINN.

1t may be case of professional over
emphasis, and yet it is certainly worth
thinking about.
''Take the jazz out of city dance halls, :"
says Lynn B. Dana, head of the musical
institute, ''and you've got the city half
cleaned up. Take out of your home the
jazz records and the popular songs
which are written about themes you
wouldn't discuss with your children, and
you'll have far less reason to worry about
the children's morals
Cynics and superficial folk can smile
at such arguments, but that doesn't dis
pose of them. When all's said and done,
perhaps the moral argument against jazz
is really stronger than the esthetic argu-
ment. The two probably hang together,
but ugly music doesn't necessarily mean
ugly morals. The fact, as psychologists
are beginning to see, is that there is a
particular form of musical ugliness which
by its very nature tends to pervert moral
taste along with musical taste.
The influences of music are far greater
than most persons realize They work
in the mind subtly but powerfully, for
good or ILL., Physicians have discovered
that insanity often may be cured by mu-
sic of the right sort. Inversely, music of
the wrong sort may drive susceptible per-
sons insane.
The moral uplift that comes from fine
church music is universally recognized.
Why then not recognize as clearly that
corrupt music, appealing insidiously to
the baser elements of human nature, may
induce moral corruption? An observant

FEWER FLIES

1t is pleasing to learn from the depart
ment of agriculture that through the d.
rect efforts of the department the house
fly has been barred from $4,000 addi-
tional farm homes in one year. Indi-
rectly, no doubt, the accomplishment has
been far greater And every gain made
in keeping disease-bearing insects out of
human habitations adds to the health,
efficiency and longevity of the nation
At the same time it may be observed
that such work, as time goes on, becomes
less necessary, because conditions them
selves are changing. Flies are still
pest on farms, though by no means so
great pest as they used to be- In cities,
except for the most ill-kept districts,
they seem to be growing almost neg
ligible.
Cleanliness itself has much to do with
the matter. Everywhere there has been
more emphasis on this, since it became
known generally that the fly was an in
sect fourishing only in a filthy environ
ment. But perhaps most of the gain
comes automatically from the automo-
