It is interesting to note that no less
than four of the five compositions to

been played before anywhere.
It will be the first American per-
Strong, the American composer, who
now makes his home in Switzerland
Strong presented Dr. Kinder with the
manuscript of this work when the d.
rector was on his annual search Tor
new music in Europe last Summer.
Montana Sketches" by Edward
Potter, and Impressions of the Bow
cry by LaSalle Spier, have never be
fore been played by an orchestra. Both
Of these works are by Washlngtonlans.
Mr.. Potter a metallurgical engineer,
came to Washington several years ago
from Chicago, after retiring from the
business of manufacturing steel. and
he made the study of music his hobby.
He has never been professional
musician. The music which will be
played today was written, Mr.. Potter
saws. at his ranch in Montana. The
work is frankly descriptive.
Mr.. Spier's composition. Impressions
OF the Bowery," was written in 1919,
and was first planned as a piece for
two pianos Mr.. Spier writes OF his
work:
"The piece is the result of impress
sions I received of the famous street
during seven years residence in New
York when I taught In the Music
school Settlement there. The idea to
write the piece came to me one day
as stood on the corner of Canal street
and the Bowery and listened to the in
mite condemnation OF sounds around
me-the rumble of the elevated trains,
the strange alien sounds in Chinatown,
the raucous music from a jazz hall, the
glimpse of the East River, glittering In
the sun, and the sight of boats, sailing
. far-of places"
John Powells "Rhapsodie Negro"
while it will be given its first Wash
mgton performance this afternoon, Is
one Of the most frequently played of
American compositions. 1t was first
presented by the Russian Symphony
Orchestra March o. 1918. and since
then has had nearly a hundred per-
formances with great orchestras of this
country and Europe.
Il is brilliant and powerful work,
IN true rhapsodic form. Its blazing
orchestration and remarkably powerful
thematic material combine to make it

one Of the most important contem-
porary American compositions
Speaking of this afternoons concert
DR.. Kinder says: 1T has always been
my intention to present, as frequently
as possible. music which Washington in
the past has not had the opportunity
Of hearing: music which visiting or
chestras would not include on the con-
ventional tour program. I believe We
are accomplishing this, without in the
smallest degree sighting the great
symphonic works which are a necessary
part of all orchestras. Tschaikowsky's
poem, Francesca da Rimini,' which our
orchestra presented recently on SYM
phony series Thursday program. and
which is being played again today in
answer to numerous requests that the
Sunday audience hear it as well, is a
case in point. This superb work is all
too seldom heard"

YOUTHFUL Mr.. ERWIN

News accounts of the appointment of Clyde A.
Erwin as state superintendent of education to fill
the place left vacant by the death of A. T. Allen
call attention to the fact that Mr.. Erwin is only
81 years old-"one of the youngest men ever to
step into a major office in North Carolina"
Further, the accounts say, Mr.. Erwin IS
the first state superintendent since 1900 who does
not have college degree. The young superin-
tendent went to college only two years. the reports
continue.
Interesting facts, to be But what of it !!
Age and degrees do not superintendent make.
America more and more is following the policy of
getting them young" in filling big-time jobs The
day of the elder statesman idea seems to be pass
ing, save possibly in France.
Far more to the point is the capability of which
Mr. Erwin has demonstrated as superintendent Of
Rutherford county schools for the past nine years,
as president of the North Carolina Education as
ISOLATION, and as member of the State Textbook
commission. Exactly the kind of training man
should have to fit him for the job of state super
intendent; that he gains such experience long be-
fore old age has overcome him is the best testi-
monial of his ability.
Mr.. Erwin assumes the duties of superintendent
at time when the problems of education in North
Carolina near crisis. He will need every bit Of
his youth in meeting them day by day.-Golds-

NEWSPAPERS OPINION
STATE REGULATION OF UTILITIES

oThe objective of sound and effective regulation
(of public service companies) should be to nix
rates with a view to encouraging the growth OF
utility business through its further development
and through continuous expansion of its field OF
service" said Howell Wright, of the Ohio State
Bar association, recently "Such a condition IS
possible of attainment when the rates are low
enough to encourage the greatest possible use of
the service by the public, while at the same time
sufficient to maintain the financial soundness of
the utility.
Regulation by state commissions Is the peSC
method of regulation devised thus far"
Critics of state regulation seek to persuade the
public that the state commissions, being either in
competent or dishonest, have failed to protect the
peope. and that a change is essential They usual
" suggest that the change should take the form
of federal regulation, whereby state commissions
would be supplanted by single Washington bu-
reau.
One wonders just how much progress the utility
industry would have attained had this type of CEN
tralized regulation been in force during the past
two decades. Utility service is essentially local
matter. Costs are dependent upon density of pop
ulation and geographical location. A rate that is
too high in one locality, may be low in another;
ital and permit the normal development of one
might lead to the paralysis of another
serving different type of area. The
state commissions are in rouch with local condl-
tions they know what local people want and need.
Their policies in brief established by realistic
examination of the pertinent facts-not by bu-
reaucratic rule of rote Washington commission,
with the entire country under its jurisdiction,
would be inflexible and would be unable to reflect
local opinion. 1t would lead to retrOgression, not
to progress.
Today, despite the arguments of those who want
to socalize or regiment utilities, this country
enjoys the highest standard of utility service in
the world at the lowest cost. Our system of state
regulation has worked-can those who wish to try
new experiments on basic industry say as much
for their proposas?-Ashevie Advocate.
