lishmen and the Irishmen were surprised
because there ,Uas no singing" That was be-
fore Marshall Bartholomew got on the job.
Thanks to him, when the first of the AEF
marched through the streets of Paris in 1917,
the doughboys were singing "Over There"
The song and the singing spirit of the men
thrilled the French and bucked up morale
on the entire Allied front. And now, once
again, he is helping to build singing army.
To start it, Bartholomew, the nations
greatest expert on community singing, was
called to Fort Bragg, N. G., this January by
Brigadier General Hoyle of the 9th Division.
II found the boys surrounded with plenty of
mechanized music" Bartholomew said, via
phonograph, radio, movies, but there was
little of the self-made kind. Music is the best
morale booster on the list and since singing
is the easiest form for the men to take with
them to the front, they need organization and

ranks were trained and will keep them singing
wherever the division goes.
Better Than 1917
HERE'S far more talent in the ranks now
than in 1917" Bartholomew says. THE men
play and sing better, thanks to their train
ing in high school and college. Ali they need
is encouragement and trained leadership"
Barty's goal is one glee club, several song
leaders and sundry instrumental groups in
every regiment or body of equivalent size in
the Army, Navy and Marine Corps.
One way he plans to do it is with his work
as member of the Subcommittee on Music
of the Joint Army and Navy Committee on

As for the present, Bartholomew urges
less talking and more singing Talking IS

tive; singing, never. One way to help win this
war is to keep singing. There's nothing better

Music Round the World
IRoFEssoR at Yale and director of its famed
Glee Club, Marshall Bartholomew is the
father of community singing. He's worked
miracles with music in prison camps, hos
pitals, factories and street corners all the way
from Siberia to the slums of New York.
When the us. entered the last war, Barty
organized schools for song leaders here and in
France. The $4,000 song leaders trained
through him in World War l helped our
fighting forces ease the grind of many hard
hike. He has brought together student cho-
ruses in musical good fellowship all over the
world and founded the Intercollegiate Music
Council. Baked by the present war from
holding international music meets. he turned
his efforts in creating good will through song
to South America. He toured there in 1910
as member of the Music Advisory Council
and again in l94l with the Yale Glee Club.
Our southern neighbors responded
Aatteringly to his get-acquainted tour
last year. standing room only was the
story at most of the Is concerts given.
When war started in 1914, Bartholomew,
studying music in Berlin, volunteered for
YMCA war work and was assigned to prison
camp in Siberia. On arrival, he found that
homesicLness, misery and monotony were
causing suicides daily. Glee clubs and orches-
tras were organized. Stringed instruments
were carved out by skilled artisans. Bows? -
delivery horses often left camp minus tails. A
battered upright piano was up-ended and
played with malets.
In short order, music ensembles were giving
three concerts a day with dinner music
thrown in Suicides fell almost to zero.
That experience convinced me" said Bar
