WITHIN the next three years Walter
w Damrosch has stated that he ex-
poets America to be 1.-The most musical
country in the world"
The radio is the influence that he
relies upon to bring prosperity to the
musical profession. His ideas on the
subject are given at length by Graham
McNamee in a current issue of lead
ing American magazine.
Graham McNamee, famous as radio
announcer, is concert recitaliSt and a
sincere student of the problems of the
musical field. He speaks sympathetically
of the aspirations and aims of Mr..
DamroSch's plans to build up a bigger
and better audience for music of the
better class.
''Dr. Damrosch proposed to give three
experimental concerts a year ago on
the radio to see if schools were inter-
ested to promote musical education by
radio" says Mr.. McNamee, THE re-
suits of those concerts were SO amaz-
ing that the broadcaSting company,
without waiting for anybody to finance
the plan, decided to make DR.. DAM
rosch its music councillor and to start
him off this year with "a concerts as
the really mature section of the MuSi-
cal University of the Air.
After the experimental concerts let
tiers poured in on DR.. Damrosch. They
came $4,000 strong from colleges and
from crossroads village schools. His
concerts had converted thousands of
schools and millions of children into one
vast schoolroom in music. Down in
Florida with the sun shining briskly
out in Minneapolis with a near blizzard
piling q white snow against schoolroom
doors, up in Portland, Me. with a wind
roaring in from the Atlantic: way down
in San Antonio, Tex, all were part OF
single class in music, with the in
structor and his musicians in New
York. And did the children love it?
One little boy wrote from Iowa that he
had always wanted to know what an
oboe was, and he was delighted to have
heard it and recognized it in that piece
about the entrance of the little fawns
"But here was and still is the rub:

Eric Norquist Buys
Pahlen Lot; Will
Build Dept. Store

One of the realty transfers Of the
past week set new high level Of Lex
ington's commercial building sites, when
Eric Norquist purchased the lot on
the southeast corner of the public
square from w. F. Pahlen and Mrs. E. c.
McRee, the parcel Of land measuring 35
feet wide on the front, widening to 50
feet on the L-shape and running back
14O feet approximately to the ware
house belonging to Mr.. Pahlen, and re-
tanned by him.
This property is situated in one Of
the busiest sections Of the city, and is
valuable site from many angles. It's
market value was realized by many far
seeing investors, who sought its pur-
chase, with Mr.. Norquist obtaining it
for a valuable consideration.
In announcing the acquisition Of the
holdings, Mr.. Norquist states that he
intends to erect a modern, complete
two-story brick building, with ample and
commodious basement space, the build
ing tgabe equipped with electric eleva-
tors, and all models Of conveniences
known to~sssve department store.
These plans will be carried into effect
at an early date, continued Mr.. Nor
quist, and Lexington will have every
reason to feel proud of the addition in
it's commercial establishments.
The sky line of this side Of the pub
lie square will then carry all build
ings of brick when the plans are COM
pleted, the lot being utilized by Pahlen
Brothers until last December as mer-
camille business, and housed in frame
building. It's destruction by fire Christ
mas morning reduced the last remaining
wooden structure on this side Of the
business district.
Mr.. Norquist is receiving best wishes
and success in his latest purchase, and
states that he will have other plans to
announce in the near future.

ASKING TOO MUCH OF EDUCATION

In all ages man has been burdened with self-im-
posed idolatry although by invariably in the
field of religion. Today we worship school and col
lege courses These are the craven images Of the
period Whatever goes wrong, the school and college
are expected to right it. To them have given our
moral and civic responsibility. When human behavior
disappointing, when injustice stalks abroad when
problems beyond solution, shrug shoulders
and remark that the only remedy lies in education.
Great the power and influence Of the universities
and colleges, but in simple truth they have such
omnibus curative powers. The educational system is
of countless factors for good that must be kept
alive by the struggles Of the The wise leaders Of
institutions Of higher learning the first to admit
that there both possibilities and limitations in the
individual which transcend the influence Of

It will take incredible change indeed In the school
curriculum to reform the motorst who hogs the road
or the pest who reads aloud the movie titles, or the
There people with shallow characters and
others with deep characters. There those whose
seshness exceeds the bounds Of decency and others
who think Of their fellows well as Of themselves

POLLUTED AIR

It has been apparent for time that the air prob
lem in large cities is assuming formidable proportions,
and that smaller communities also must deal with this
problem This is largely due to the increase OF motor
cars, which exhale fumes deadly as those OF the
classic dragon Communities in lowying areas are at
present almost helpless against this menace for menace
it certainly is.
In all likelihood, the time will when action of
some sort will be imperative against atmosphere SO in
feced with dirt and gas to render it perous in the
extreme. Great strides have been taken in safe
guarding the water supply in large municipalities. But
that is obviously only half the battle.

gineers has little device called "dust counter with
which it can measure the dirt content Of the atmos-

A BOUNDARY THAT UNITEs. NOT DIVIDES
u1,,fh

Mackenzie King, premier If Canada told the assem-
bly, Of the League of Nations in Geneva yesterday about
the 9nfortifed boundary between
the United States and Canada, and in simple bur
eloquent and forceful phrases held it up example
to Europe and the world
That example is something that Europe ought to be-
hold and Mackenzie King did the world great service
by holding up for the admiration and emulation of the
nations of Europe
For three thousand miles, lakes and plains and
mountains. this boundary runs, invisible line not
marked by single fortress and without single
gun aimed across it from either side.
If Canada wanted to invade the United States, if
the United States wanted to invade Canada, there is
nothing to stop then-nothing, that is, except
thing that is mightier than great guns stronger than
forts and more powerful than armies and navies.
That barrier is good will.
The barrier to invasion across that boundary, bar
rer effective than anything make of steel
and stone, is the fact that neither nation wants to
wade the other that neither nation wishes the other
anything but good and that both nations realize that
the prosperity and welfare Of either is the welfare
and prosperity of the other
The spiritual is always mighter than the material.
Europe may fortfy it's boundaries until they tow
erng of bristng walls but it achieve
fabric Of good will that has been built up the
boundary between Canada and the United States.
