mlnQed Ine local pupuc Is. IL Is
unfortunate that art and money must
still be associated so closely, but the
realization of the Utopian dream
when such situation will not be
known Is far in the distance.
AS In all art enterprises, 1t is not
the first enthusiasm which counts
most. but the duration of enthusiasm.
In the beginning there is the novelty
OF the idea and the personal salts
faction of being associated with q
worthwhile undertaking. But the real
test comes when the first flush Of
newness is worn of and the plain
fact has to be faced that the work
cannot be abandoned nor the RESPONSE
bility neglected. The reasons for
starting an enterprise, which seemed
so logical and inspiring at the out
set, do not change; it is the change
that is wrought in those interested by
familiarity with the idea and the
natural reluctance to make the orig
inal joyful hard work a continuous
affair.
The disillusionment which follows
upon realization that only by con-
slant endeavor can success be at
tanned is the common experience Of
many who once thrilled to the idea
Of creating a civic benefit or of de-
veloping themselves in some artistic
way. Art, of whatever kind, appears
so delightful and easy Of attainment
that the fact that hard work is con-
nected with it is lost sight of. The
familiar definition of genius need not
be limited to only the specially en-
dowed, but to every one and every
thing that must live by expansion.
FOR many years Washington was
not counted among the musical
cities of the country. Little respect
was paid to what was done, musically
here by the energetic and progressive
citizens of other big cities. With the
advent of the National Symphony
that attitude has been changed, and
the eyes of the musical public
throughout the land have been turned
toward the Nations Capital 1t is
not that there has not been fine music
presented here In recital and by visit
ing orchestras, for that is the privi-
lege that has been enjoyed through
the courage Of local managers. But
supporting a symphony orchestra,
unless done by rich patrons. becomes
a personal thing, one that reflects on
the serious musical intent of the COM
munity. Washington has done that,
and those who count in musical cir
cles throughout the country have
honored it for doing so.
1t is true that, with the radio right
at the side Of ones easy chair, it Is
not difficult to have the finest SYM
phonic music without any cost. But
the radio music is a detached thing
without substance or body. From
some distant spot there is a large
group of men who put into the per-
formance of this great music life
time of study and thought, dreams
and encouragement. But over the
air they became unit, machine, in
a way. that produces the sounds that
register with the listener. It is quite
another thing when this body of mu-
sicians is present before one, when
one follows the leadership of the con-
ductor and sees the response of his
men to every indication.

Without realizing it, one assists at
the creation Of great music, one Is
united with q close bond to those
human beings who, by reason Of their
education, are able to do what many
In the audience would like to do and
are not equipped to do. Even If one
is not in agreement with an inter.
probation, there is more Of q man-to-
man feeling in criticizing than when
listening to music brought over the
air.
WHEN this music Is made possible.
w because Of q personal monetary
donation. or support, 1t becomes still
dearer to the public. Visiting orches-
ira concerts are welcome events, but
kinship with them is not possible. The
National Symphony, which has
brought pleasure and enlightenment
to all people from the children in
schools to the most cultured music
lover, Is q child Of the community,
one deliberately brought into being
and supported by sacrifice. 1t has
passed its adolescent period, and Is
now full grown. What Is its future
to be, and how will it be supported
in Its competition with older and more
firmly established organizations.
There are two sides to be developed
from now on in the case of the Ma
tional Symphony. There is. the edu-
cational side for the home folks and
the artistic side for the world at large.
AS an educational force in the city
it must still operate with that end in
view, yet 1t must provide the type Of
programs which will appeal to other
people, whose esthetic development can
only be satisfied with the stimulation
Of greater artistry.
The National Symphony has out
grown its original intention. Through
the hard work and fine musicianship
of its conductor, DR.. Kinder, it has
progressed in amazing fashion to the
point where it challenges attention
beyond the local horizon. Yet its ad-
vancement will never be disassociated
from the people who first organized
it, and gave toward its support in the
years when such generosity was not
easy. From now on the gathering Of
funds will show not alone how much
money has actually been donated, but
how much the citizens of this city
think of the orchestra and how really
anxious they were to improve the
musical taste of the community.
7 Unless the support of the orches-
ira is taken over by a few patrons,
1t will be the duty of the community to
contribute whatever it is able for years
to come. If this Is regarded as a duty
with the usual Interpretation implied
OF something that is difficult to do and
which one does reluctantly, it will
mean that the desire for good music
as civic cultural force was a fieeting
thing. But II all the National SYM
phony has accomplished in its few
years OF existence amounts to any,
thing, it will be cherished and aided
in whole hearted fashion Its future
Will show that the love of music has
increased in this city, and the influ-
ence Of music for increased good has
been so fully realized that 1t can never
take an inferior place in civic interest,

COACHES PUT OK
 |ON NEW METHOD l
 |OF SELECTION
Pressure" Based By High School Hoop Tourney
 Plan Recently Adopted

The proposed new plan of the Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic Conference for the selection of teams for the annual Glass A bas- ketball tournament has been pro- nounced better" than the one used for the past several years, by coaches who had teams in this years tournament.
 Coach Tom Monahan, of Bristol, who has had more teams in the arl- nual tituler tournament than any other coach, sees the new plan. under which the No. 1, No. ?, and No. 3 teams would be chosen under the old method, and the remaining five awarded places in an "open" qualifying round, as 8 clear im- provement over the old method which required a team to blaze out an impressive seasons record to hope for Q chance to compete in the tournament.
 The new plan would allow the coach and school officials at any school to enter its team in the qualifying round, whatever the schools record might be.
 Coach Babe Allen, whose Hart ford Bulkeley team competed in the 1934-35 and 1935-36 "A" tourna- ments, believes that the new plan would help, and also suggests that schools which have "mideyear" examinations should be allowed to enter tournaments because of the strain put upon them preparing for, and playing in, such fast competi- ton as is often produced in tourna- ment games, when they have often been weakened by the loss of some of their best players through the untimely graduation.
 Monahan and Allen have both been against high pressure" which they believe produces 8 near hysteria among boys on the states top-fight teams as the tournament opening date annually approaches, and in their at least partial ap- proval of the new plan is read their thought that at least some of the pressure" may be eliminated.

CREENBERC GETS GREAT CHANCE. AS SALESMAN
Textile Concern Would Pay Him $4O,OO If He

Boston, March 26-rUP)-An at- tractive business offer awaits Hank Greenberg, Detroit Tigers holdout first baseman, if he ever decides to give up baseball, Winfield Shus- ter, textile executive, disclosed last night.
 Talked It Over
 Shuster, a former baseball star and one-time owner of the East Douglas club, said he and Green berg already have discussed posi- bilities of the players joining the Shuster organization. Shuster hint ed Greenberg would receive con- pensation comparable to the salary he is demanding from the Tigers.
 "I've already offered him a posi- tion in our New York sales force," Shuster said. Since our clientele there is 100 per cent Jewish, Hank would be worth good deal to tls."
 Shuster said his offer was a standing one, and that Greenberg could accept at any time.
