entertaining content, as well as OF
inestimable value for future reference.
EXCEPT in rare instances Ameri-
cans have not been exceptionally
careful in preserving the houses and
other places where great individuals
have lived or where great events have
transpired. Day by day we are con-
scious in this city Of the passing Of
famous landmarks, each of which
once was pointed to with pride, as a
place where was conceived the idea
that grew into a great historical hap
pening. Much less will the homes
churches and houses frequented by
the fathers of music be preserved.
unless steps are taken at once to in
still reverence for them by number
ing among the "shrines" of the
country.
We can, as yet, but dimly foresee
what the future of music will be in
this country. AS a nation which has
produced great musicians we cannot
rank with other countries, but of all
our interests, that of music has had
the SloWeSt growth. Within the last
few years a definite and carefully
thought-out plan has been adopted
for allowing our talent every oppor-
tunity to be brought to light and to
assist in its cultivation. The result
has been astonishing, and as a fore
cast OF what is to come, Is decidedly
encouraging.
When the time arrives that the
greatest of the worlds musicians and
composers will claim America as
their birthplace. and the importance
of it all necessitates keeping track of
biographical data and the succession
Of musical events, then will the histo-
rian be glad Of a foundation on which
to build a history of music in the
United States. And the labor Of COM
pilation which the Federal Music
Project and the Music Section of the
National League of American Pen
Women have undertaken will be not
only foundation for scientific study,
but also an inspiration in the many
interesting stories that may be dis
covered as to the struggles. heart
aches and successes of the first Amer
leans who loved music sufficiently to
follow it as a profession.
