THE MUSIC

The May Musical festival, with which the
months opens in Grand Forks, is the outgrowth of a
nationwide movement to popularize good music.
Musically the United States has been one of the
backward countries, Tor reasons natural and quite
easy to understand. Our conditions have been un-
stable, our population heterogeneous and migratory.
Immigrants from countries where music is a popu-
lar form OF expression, and where understanding
and appreciation Of good music are common posses
sions, finding themselves in a new environment.
with new demands on their time and attention, have
tended to neglect music and grow away from IL.
Ote OF the purposes of federated music work is to
provide q bondyof union which Shall take the place
OF ties which have been severed, and to create new
lconditions inewhich lovcjof music shall be one of
the essential and natural features.
The new movement in music has reached i'm
lpressive proportions. Within a few wears Il has
aroused an active interest in hundreds Of thousands
fpt young people. II has already been the means
OF awakening to musical consciousness many young
men and women OF great promis who, without this
stimulus, would have remained in ignorance az their
y possibilities. Without doubt we shall find
among the eminent composers and artists Of the
next few years many who will owe their Develop
nient8 chiefly to the aid given BY this great move
|rlcnt.
The festival in Grand Forks is 4 climax. Il
represents the result of = sitting process which has
been going on for months III which singers and play-
|ersEo the greatest demonstrated ability have been
selected from their local communities to participate
"a public performances which will undoubtedlvv re-

that they had no more real wealth thar, they had
|befogTe they would have saved themselves; q lot Of

that they had no more real wealth than they had
trouble. aS9a
The war is over and the process OF denation
seems about to have completed its work. The paper
profits have disappeared. And, just as persons
whose real condition had not changed at all mag
med themselves wealthy, they or others, whose
status remains practically unchanged, imagine
themselves desperately poor and act accordingly.
Short crops and too low prices have made diff
cult times for a good many people, but about nine
|tenths of the talk about hard times that is heard in
public places comes from people who are as regular
ny employed as ever they were i'll their lives, and
whose incomes, received regularly, are as great as
they ever were. Most Of the hard times talk is just
habit. The farmer whose crop last year was poor,
and whose prices were unsatisfactory, the mechanic
who had been out Of work for months, these are feel
ing the pinch and there are others. But the chanc-
.es are that these mer, are busy digging in instead
standing around and mourning.
There was never time when business was
and money plentiful when everything
would have been stopped dead if everybody could
have been persuaded overnight that times were ac-
Itually' hard On the other hand, there was never
an economic condition so desperate that it could not
be improved instantly if everybody could be con-
WINGED, not Of an exaggerated state Of prosperity,
but of the actual facts, and if those Who have no
cause for complaint would proceed calmly about
their business, making the most Of such measure Of
prosperity as they really enjoy. b
