CHORAL MINISTER'S
URGED BY LEADERS

A PLEA to the 100000 members of
the National Federation of Music
Clubs to use their influence for the
employment Of full-time ministers
Of music" in churches throughout the
country was made today by DR.. H.
Augustine Smith of Boston, head of
the department of church music Of
Boston University and chairman of
the department of music in religious
education of the federation. This,
the distinguished hymnologist an
nounced, would be the first step in
Nationwide campaign to revive re-
ligious interest through song.
DR.. Smith, who ever since his ap-
pointment last fall has pressed in all
his public addresses for vigorous pro-
gram for more and better" music
in churches throughout America,
firmly believes that the function of
organist and choir director ranks in
Importance with that of pastor.
Many churches of today have an
'hour-a-week' organist," DR.. Smith
said, who Is totally without value
to the religious life of the community.
The modern minister of music should
be on the job every day and all day.
He should be socially expert, possessed
of real qualities of leadership, able
to bring all kinds of people together,
stimulate their interest in each other
and in religion through music, and
train them capably by the latest and
most accepted methods. Many churches
are closed all the year except for one
hour on Sunday. If they were made
center of musical activities they
could be kept open practically Is hours
day. Then they would become vital
factors In community life.
The first step towards revivifica-
ton is to recruit people in the prime
of life and enthusiastic young people
to fill up the choirs. A church should
not have one choir, but two, three, or
even four, If there are singers enough
in the parish"

in the pupil, but there is the feeling Of
responsibility, that the success of the
entire group depends on each indi-
vidual. Naturally, also, there is the
desire for making showing before
others so that this little human weak
ness may be turned to good account.
Whatever way one may view it, the
plan of group activity means sociability
and shared interests through music,
all of which lead to better standards
of citizenship.
What the work of the Federal
Music Project is accomplishing more
than anything else is building for the
future. From out of the knowledge
of music gained in a way that other
wise would not be possible for those
reached by the project, will develop a
more understanding audience because
the barrier between good music and
the ordinary individual has been done
away with in childhood and an affec-
ton instilled for the music learned in
companionship with others. If an
outstanding talent should be found in
the children of these present-day stu
dents. he will find sympathetic atti-
tude toward his musical development.
because his parents had an opportunity
to learn something of music in their
youth. In every respect, it is spread
ing the gospel of good music and its
appreciation, and making known the
spiritual advantages Of this art.
The report cites the fundamental
principles of the end toward which it
is working as THE preparation OF
the individual as a prospective citizen
and cooperative member of society,""
Preparation of the individual as
prospective worker and producer"
Preparation of the individual for the
proper use of leisure time and the de-
velopment of his consciousness and
personality" through the finer influ-
ence and gentler force of good music.
CLASS instruction, however, is not
good for everybody, and is even
harmful under careless supervision.
Some temperaments are discouraged
rather than encouraged by working
in competition with others, and some
students need the evidence of teach
er's personal interest, which private
lesson gives They need. too. constant
supervision in the matter of funda-
mentals things which may suffer in
group instruction.
But for the people to whom music
means little and who. even if they
were passionately fond of it, could not
afford to study. the system used by
the Federal Music Project is especial
ly advantageous. 1t in no way inter-
feres with the possible income Of
private teachers, nor encroaches in
other ways on their territory. Yet it
is gathering into the fold many who
might never know the beauty of music
and is building up and opening the
way to an emotional development Of
constructive value, besides increasing
the appreciation of music throughout
the land. In few years, under such
systematized labor in the field of music,
the great musical talent of the coun-
try will be released to bring out the
Towering of artists and composers
which is this country's rightful
heritage.

The wheat must have been pro-
duced in 1888 and beneficial title
must be in the eligible producer.
In the State of Washington, wheat
on which loans are made may be
stored on the farm or in federally
