THE SONGS OF A NATION

America still loves it's old songs 1t loves them for
their simplicity their sweetness and because they en-
body best the very hun1anneSs of world strug
GLE Ours has not been experience to give us folk
lore Except for children, the idea of land peoped
with fairies good and bad did not grow well in tne soil
of the pioneer But very democratic spirit OF human
did grow and that is embodied in these They
FORM perhaps the finest part of expression of spirit
ua experiences.
That not jazz people, except in spots on the
surface, is proved by survey made by committee OF
the Playground and Recreation Association of America
1t asked the directors of community work all the
country to compile list of the favorite songs that
pie like to sing at community gatherings. The 20
found most popular with American audiences-the audi
ence in Gopher Prairie well in New Yorkare: Old
Folks at Home My Old Kentucky Home, America, Old
Me Back to Old Virginny, There's Long, Long Trail;
America the Beautiful, Star Spangled Banner, Home,
Sweet Home; Goodnight, Ladies'; Juanita MY Bonnie,
Mother Machree, Till We Meet Again, Columbia the Gem
of the Ocean; When Good Fellows Get Together Smiles
I've Been Working on the Railroad
Analyze for moment the range of appeal that these
songs make 1t from the reverent patriotism of
America and the ringing patriotism of Columbia down to
the tenderness of Old Folks at Home Old Black Joe and
Home Sweet Home Surely there is heart that not
touched somewhere within that range surely no soul
that is not stirred And if should sing them ALL
after another, they would make for spiritual drama
of America That is why they not allowed to

certain lyric poets of Germany that

Thirteenth centuries. They were gen.
orally men of noble birth, and sang OF
love, friendship, religion, war and ad-
venture at the courts of kings and
feudai barons. Although akin to the
lroubadours of Provence, the Min

lined spirit and manifested a greater
reverence for woman. They wrote
principally in the Swablan dialect OF

nous of their number were Walther
