that rightly belongs to it.
The value of music must be as
sessed from two angles-that of it's
spiritual quality and of its financial
worth. The former is more easily
comprehended and on this Easter
Day many hearts will respond to it's
message and gain strength and
serenity by its means. The promise
of peace and justice can be felt
through its strains. and the re-
minder that both the duty and the
possibility of achieving them re-
sides in the individual and his cour-
age in standing up for what is right
The peculiarly subtle influence that
music exerts, its power of destroy
Ing barriers and of making logical
mans kinship with his neighbor, is
without question, and its import
Rnce in beautifying human relations
Is being more and more recognized.
Money to Be Spent.
However, the fact remains that
one cannot overlook the financial
side of music, and in the sense of
value regarding it there is a Ia
mentable lack of understanding.
From start to finish, it is impossible
to have anything to do with music
without spending money for it in
some way. The chain that binds
Its progress from the student to it's
presentation in public is forged of
money that has been spent in
large or small sums. Yet there is
no field of activity in the world
where the outlay of money is so
begrudged, starting from the price
of lessons with good teacher
through the various incidentalS of
launching an artist or an organ
ization and the price of supporting
them. The public wants music and it
wants fine artists, families wish
to educate their children in it as
well as they can, communities seek
to have music prominently in their
midst, in clubs, in public schools,
In churches, yet the financial cost
Is always grumbled at.
Most serious musicians dislike
the fact that they must barter their
talent for price. They would pre-
fer to give lavishly of all they pos
sess were it not imperative that
they have some means of sup
port. What they have to give can
never be fully compensated for in
money nor find its source in money.
1t cannot be ordered and paid for
with value received, for inspira-
ton cannot be commanded nor
can the mere ordering arouse the
proper inspiration for the creation
of great music. Yet the fact remains,
that in order to have music and
to encourage its growth money
must be spent.
Materialistic Side.
There is a general tendency to
blind ones self to this fact. 1t
seems almost degrading to consider
music from so materialistic side
as that of dollars and cents or to
sum up an artists or an organ
