radio, this country would still be
struggling under the same conditions
which hampered it for so many years
in its efforts to become music minded
Today the radio ranks with all the
educational activities that have been
organized for the advancement Of
music, and its influence outstrips
every other effort in that it reaches
10 points and people not coming
under the jurisdiction Of regular
musical circles.
The power Of the radio must be
recognized by serious musicians and
every assistance given 1t to keep the
standard high. To a certain extent
1t may compete with concert activities.
but on the other hand it will be help
full, for, after all, there Is personal
satisfaction IN seeing and hearing an
artist on the concert platform which
the radio cannot give. Then, too, not
all the best artists are on the radio
programs, so that their fame is Of SUI
q concert audience.
p EPORTs from the different radio
studios interested in checking the
response throughout the country to
their best programs announce preva-
lent demand for the best in music.
An article in the Education by
Radio" bulletin, published by the Ma
tional Committee on Education by
Radio, does away with the myth" as
1t is called, that the majority Of the
American people want entertainment
from their radios-they do not want
education"
It goes on to say: THAT myth, that
conviction, that assumption Is now
dead. It has been slain in the last
nine months; murdered by the COM
bined strength OF 100000 American
radio listeners. What does this prove?
a., It proves that millions Of Americans
isn't educational programs prepared
to meet public tastes and interests.
This evidence challenges the moss
: covered assumption that the public
demand is solely for entertainment
and issues a clarion call for new
? definition of public interest, con-
venience and necessity"
THIS, of course. has to do mostly
with other than musical programs,
yet it indicates growing desire for
more cultural things which embraces
music. Recently William S. Paley,
president of the Columbia Broadcast
ing System, speaking before the Wom-
ems National Radio Committee, gave
this encouraging outline of the atti-
tude Of listeners toward the quality
Of the music heard over the air:
1.-THE radio audience Of today Is
receptive to more of the finer and
serious music than ever before. The
standard of musical appreciation found
throughout the country today is sur
pr1singly high. People are more and
more listening to music because they
like 1t, rather than because they
think it is good for them. This status
has been the result Of a gradual
development and radio broadcasting
likes to think that it Is largely re-
sponsible for this. Radio has played
a most important role in enlarging
