An EXPENSIVE TOLL

If in the space of four weeks total of 525 per-
died in the United States from Spanish Influen
ga other disease, the whole country would be
alarmed, and every would take the most scrupu
lous to see that he did not expose himself to the
danger Of contagon.
One has only to recall 1918 to realize how alarm
ed we at the spread of the flu epidemic.
Yet in the four weeks ending on April 81 total of
525 persons in II American cities died the result of
automobile accidents, and hear very little about it,
One two aviaors died in crash, and say, This
flying is dangerous business, why do persist in do
ing it?" Yet automobiles kill more in single month
than flying does throughout the world in an entire
year. The automobile figures cover only IT cities.
By far the majority Of these 525 deaths were un-
doubtedly caused by carelessness Mechanically the
average automobile will function nearly perfectly. II
is the human element in connection with the auomo-
bile that is at fault
Drivers boast of making it from this to that point
in record time brag that they get 70 out of the
old bus" Why should they? Do we prefer the driver
who travels a 70 mile hour clip 90 miles
per hour, endangering not only his neck (Which
is minus consideration but the lives Of all along his
path to the driver who keeps within the maximum al
lowed by the law?
Apparently we do when let reckless drivers off
with nominal fines refuse to consider major traffic
violators real criminals, and permit half thousand
persons TO be killed in a month.

MUSIC ROOM CHATS

A movement has been started by
the Music Teachers association of
Virginia asking for a state supervisor
Of music. New Jersey is vigorously
attacking the prociem, too
The American opera, which is fill
ing a six weeks engagement in New
York, is receiving the most flattering
attention from the musical critics who
have allotted them much space and
genuine praise in the papers. The
loubting public is becoming convinced
hat opera, in our own language has
rial significance. 1t is no longer
ovely pantomime to the uninitiated.
The plot and the gestures have a
meaning. The melodies which may
have been familiar are now filled with
new understanding.
The new Gallo theatre in which
Faust" IN a d am Butterfly" and
"Figaro" have recently been given, ex-
emplifies the necessity for small but
perfectly constructed opera houses in

daily press agree that new life has
been instilled into each music drama
revitalizing it SO that it catches and
holds the public fancy The idea back
OF this operate production is to en-
courage American .endeavor by youth;
to establish 2. permanent opera com
pany whose members, including sing
ers, orchestra and technical and
executive staff, shall be American; to
present opera in the language OF its
audience, singing its productions with
a view to enhancing the dramatic as
well as musical values; to employ the
best English translations obtainable;
to pay the most scrupulous attention
to English diction; to work toward the
development of an American school OF
music drama by offering American
cperatic composers medium for the
production of their works; to give
operatic performances at prices within
the means of the average theatre-goer.
The interest being displayed by
clubs in productions of opera this
winter is significantly noticeable. Be

It is a pleasure to run through the
Junior Bulletins and the Official Bull
letin of the National Federation OF
Music clubs and grasp the co-ordina-
ton and cooperation of high schools
and music clubs. High school pupils
are high school because they are
mothered and fathered by taxpayers
of any community. Tt is stumbling
block to any community's interests
when school authorities from boards
to teachers attempt to set them aside
as a group, peculiarly assigned to
chool work only. Schools should build
for citizenship. The work of the ma
tional federation is one of the most
patriotic of the nation.

The third national conference on
the cause and cure of war was held
in Washington, Jan. Is to 10, inclu-
sive, 1928; the fourth will be held in
January, 1929 These conferences are
called under the auspices of a ma
tional committee, composed OF the
presidents of the nine largest women's
organizations in the country together
with their national chairmen of in
ternational relations. The constitu-
.encies of these organizations number
several millions, are scattered from
Maine to California and local group
of some one of them may be found
at any crossroad.
The first conference, held in 1925,
was called because many men and
women were speaking before women's
organizations and recommending di-
verse and conflicting plans for bring
ing peace into the world. Many OF
these proposals were purely senti-
mental, impractical, and utterly with
out logical foundation. The leaders
of these organizations therefore came
together resolved to make a serious
bold and impartial study of the
causes of war and to delve deep in
quest of a cure.
