Music Plans in the Schools
Show Much Development

The elective, FIVE period-a-week major
courses offered are chorus, orchestra,
band, music understanding. theoretical,
piano, organ and chamber music.
At present the last three are offered
only at Central High School. 1t Is
hoped that in the near future an organ
class may be possible at Mckinley High
School, the only other building con-
tanning an organ. All these courses
carry full credit equal to any academic
subject.
Two periods per week Of music are
required of all ninth-grade children,
whether in junior or senior high school.
One period Of assembly singing month
is required of each pupil in the senior
high schools. One high school NC
hearsing in school time.
An orchestral development of nation
wide proportions is the National High
School Orchestra, with a membership
of $50 boys and girls from high schools
all over the country, which will give a
concert here in the new Constitution
Hall March l. This will be the last OF
a group of four programs, the first for
the Department of Superintendent
Convention at Atlantic City, and the
other two at the Metropolitan Opera
House, Philadelphia. and Carnegie Hall.
New York City, respectively. At recent
conventions and at the National High
School Camp at Interlochen, Mich, the
past Summer many of these young mu-
sicians had the privilege of playing I'M
der such conductors as Gabrilowitch Of
the Detroit Symphony, Stock Of the
Chicago Symphony and Hanson of the
Rochester Philharmonic. Next Summer
this group will play series of concerts
in Europe.
Surely music education has made q
good start in the right direction.

DIR. EDWIN N. c. BARNES, di-
~ rector of music in the public
schools Of the District of Columbia, re-
Gently issued the following information
regarding the almost radical changes
and development Of music training In
the schools that should be of interest
to all concerned with the cultural train
ing of the children of Washington:
Music education in the public schools
Of the United States still lacks seven
years of rounding out the first century.
It was in 1886 that Lowell Mason in
PRODUCED the subject into the Halves
School in Boston. The first three or
four decades saw little growth. 1t was
not until the dawn OF the twentieth
century that music education began to
be vital factor in the life Of the
church. The past 25 years have seen
a phenomenal expansion.
The Washington high schools, under
the leadership of the director of music,
DIR. Edwin N. G. Barnes, have just en-
tered upon new era of development
in music. Where previously music Was
a required subject, one period a week,
for all students, whether they were
musical or not and whether they de-
sired the subject or not, now, with the
exception of the ninth grade, the sub
ject is elective.
Through the abolition of required
music in the three upper grades of the
high schools it is possible to offer cleo
tive classes, all held daily. These
courses are a great boon to two entirely
different types of children, viz:
First the musical child who needs
these courses in preparation for his
future vocation or who takes them for
purely cultural reasons.
Second, the unmusical child who
wishes to grow in the practice and
assimilation of this particular branch
of art.
