they would not live in the American

city. In fact, however, New Workers
who come to London say the same

are several reasons for it. London's

American Musicians
Finest in the World,
According to Sousa

John Philip Sousa, famous band
master. who is coming to Bismarck
October l. is not only . great mu-
sician. but also q great American
musician.
It has been a source of great pleas
ure to Sousa to watch the evolution
OF music as an American profession.
The past decade, the great band
leader said, has found American in
strumentalists the finest in the
world.
When Sousa began his musical ca
reer in Washington there were very
few American musicians. He admits
humorously that in those DAYS he
wore q beard so that he would look
foreign and the American people
would take his music seriously. He
still wore the beard when he assumed
direction Of the United States Ma
rine band in 1880, and he is con-
WINGED that the facial decoration
played big part in his successful
career.
Not more than a half dozen native
Americans belonged to the marine
band when Sousa assumed the d.
rectorship. He was determined Ia
nave an American band as soon a.
ne could launch upon an independent
career.
This resolve have kept in part. /"
John Philip Sousa states, land I am
q bit proud that l have not kept it
in full. Instead Of selecting men
first because they were American
and second because they were mu-
sicians, have let the changing times
take their course, and today I find
that by selecting the best musicians
am selecting Americans in the ma
Jority of instances. l might easily
make my organization entirely one
OF American-born instrumentalists.
but | prefer to retain the three or
four men who were born abroad. be-
cause they are still the best per-
formers upon their various instru-
ments Of whom / know"
The courses in band music which
have become a part of the curricula
OF colleges ard universities have
been instrumental in developing fine
American musicians. In Sousa's
Dse.AN ZIG uOS u1OI0 tu&U 90 COIl6R4 AND
university men.
Americans have become real
music-lovers and keen judges of mu-
sic, the band leader and composer
said. He gives that as I reason for
the increased interest in music which
has been shown by American young
men,, The musical appreciation, born
through vocal and instrumental
study, has made the American people
more liberal and more enthusiastic
in support Of music.
