Shall Seattle Be a City of Culture?
Or, One Only of jazz and Commerce?
(EDITORIAL)

nOES Seattle want to earn the reputation Of
- being the cultural center of the Pacific North
west? Or is it content to be known only as city
of commerce and jazz?
Those are questions which the people themselves
will be called upon to answer when the Seattle
Civic Symphony Orchestra opens its third season
at the Metropolitan theater on December 3.
The Seattle Civic Symphony Orchestra has enjoyed a
precarous existence for the last two years II has
aged TO its expenses somehow other to date But
the time has when il must be put a sounder
financial basis If it is to be continued.
Unlike the ordinary symphony orchestra-the members
OF which have be paid high saaries-he civic orchestra
does not require huge endowments by mult-mionares.
Its members donate their services out of sheer love of
music But at that there certain expenses which
must be metrental for rehearsal hail. theater rental,
new music and the likewhch up into several thou
sand dollars year And these expenses cannot be met
unless good attendance is assured at the concerts
But why Is a symphony orchestra necessary?
There two principal In the first place. the
small orchestas cannot play the great symphonic compo
sons, which are the highest development of musical
form In other words, without symphony orchestra,
Seattle cannot enjoy the best muscno matter how good
the smaller orchestras are.
The second Is more important. BY reason
OF its peculiar structure the symphony orchestra brings
musc-the best Of music-directly into the homes in a
way in which nothing else could accomplish il.
The great majority Of the civic orchestra players
not professional musicians they just ordinary citizens
who would In no other get opportunity to reach
the musical heights that they do in the civic orchestral
they would have chance to play accompaniment
orchesraon for great artists and famarze themselves
and their families with such eevating musical literature
One can read Shakespeare Goethe, Ibsen-any of the
great masters of teraturen the privacy of ones own
home and get the same benefit from it il the works

Tim PLAYS a Joke on Us.

Monday morning when stepping IN
TO our cloak room l found many of
the girls and boys gathered about
Tins cage. l thought something ter
rible must have happened to him.
"What is the trouble with Tim," l
asked.
"He is SICK" vas the answer.
I ran over to his cage and found
him lying beneath the water with his
eyes shut. He was lifted from the
water and placed on some sand. But
still he did not move. At recess we
gathered around his cage to see if
he was still sick. We all rejoiced for
there we found him walking around
as if he owned the world. l guess he
thought he had played a good joke on
u.s.. He sat there winking and blinking
as if to say, "You're not so wise after
all are you? Don't you know we of
the reptile family like to 60 to sleep
when the cold weather comes?"
Tim got cold over the weekend and
evidently decided to hibernate but
when the room warmed up he was
just as lively as ever.-Lila Alger.

1t is not unusual to have one whose
opportunities to receive an education
in childhood were limited say that
music is not necessary, that it is n
of the so-called "frills" and we do not
need it in education. If only these
individuals who think they have lived
and can still live without music in
their souls might, by some means be
brought to a realization of the fact
that music is a necessity in life and
not a frill, that it really is an i'm
portant subject in the school curric-
ulum and does much to make the
lives of young America fuller, broad
er, happier, how much easier would
be the paving of the way to better
music. There is no doubt, but that
if music might be entirely removed
from the lives of these same individ-
uals, who, fortunately, are much in the
minority today, they too might be
brought to a recognition of the true
necessity of this art in every day life.
When our schools and colleges were
founded there was no music in them
for 200 years. Music in this country
has, perhaps, suffered a great handi-
cap from the attitude of the Puritans
in their great struggle for existence,
but it was, however, in Puritan Bos-
ton that the first music was intro
duced in the public schools in 1886
and the first music school was estab-
lished in 1867. Chicago and Cincinnati
followed that same year, but even this
was 200 years after the founding of
Yale and Harvard.
During the past so years the United
States has made more advancement
in musical growth char has been made
anywhere else in 200 years, but, we
had farther to go; we were spurred on
by shame and American pluck and
aided by leisure.
The women's music clubs through
out the country have done much to-
ward this movement of bringing about
a revolution of the music in many
towns, perhaps most n%oticeably in the
places where music is not included in
the school curriculum. If the aim of
these clubs to "make America the
most musical nation" is achieved, it
must be done through the $4,000, OOO
children in our public schools, by
bringing better music into their lives;
by teaching them to sing and to ap-
preciate.
The English classes of our high
schools are not given "yellow backed
novels" to read to develop their taste
for literature; instead they are taught
to appreciate the great literary works
and suitable books for such study are
placed at their disposal. This appre.
citation Of good literature is brought
about step by step. Why should We
expect anything different in the music
work? Music must become "a par
of" our life and not "apart from it.
and it is then and only then that we
shall realize the vital relation which
it has to the lives of all of us.
There are many who condemn
"jazz" and hope, by this hearty con
domination, to get rid of it. This ca,
never be accomplished. We mus
