II the world has failed to consider
us a musical nation it has not been
the fault of American parents. In
no other country does the yearly
expenditure for music lessons even
approximate ours. which runs into
millions. Parents who had the adj
vantage in youth Of musical back
ground. as well as those who didn't I
and all their lives have missed it.,
are eager for their children to be
educated in music. On the other
hand sometimes those who had mu-
sic forced on them to the point
where it was a burden never offer
music lessons to their children IN
the belief that they are sparing
them the tribulations Of their own
youth. But their children may have
a real yearning toward music. So
the only fair course is to see that
every child is given the opportuni-
ty to acquire a familiarity with mu-
sic and if possible to learn to play
a musical instrument.
However, lack of what it takes
TO learn to play an instrument need
not rule music out Of child's lie.
The study of music is many-sided-
it includes not only performance
but composition and appreciation
OF these the last is the most i'm
portant and should come first-ir
fact a mothers greatest opportuni
ty to foster a love Of music in hel
children comes in babyhood and pre-
school days.
But the need for music goes ever
deeper than enjoyment. Rose Heyl

ruptions and gives your thoughts
free mental space Of their own In
which to grow into ideas. Finally.
the study of music requires applica-
ton and seh-discipline which are
bound to contribute to character
growth.
So much for the desirability Of
music in your child's formative
years. How are you going to per-
suade children that the advantages
are worth the time and concen-
tration practicing requires? Mostly
by building around them an atmos-
phere that music Is fun now, not
just an advantage for their later
years. A child isn't interested in
his future culture but In what holds
his attention now.
For instance, a child's natural In
terest should dictate the choice OF
instrument. Because you always
wanted to play the violin Is no rea-
son why your child will prefer that
instrument. Suppose he has shown
In his play a distinct liking for
some one type Of musical crea-
tion-say, he has made himself an
instrument with box and strings.

buy him the real thing at the ap-
propriate age, and let him start
music lessons, even II he later
changes to some other instrument.
But perhaps the most important
consideration of all Is choosing your
childs music teacher. Eventually

But this is not the case. Many OF
those who warn US are people who
have lived and studied in foreign
lands; who have a historical knowl-
edge OF causes and effects: and
who know the danger signs. We,
on the other hand. are apt 70 drift

President and our congress viii
take care Of our nberties-so why
worry? We seem 10 forget that
Presidents and congresses change;
that a tremendous catastrophe like

them out Of Office and replace them
with men Of ideologies dangerous

II Is through the loopholes which
are sometimes carelessly created by
a democratic regime, that another
type Of regime can crawl into a
position Of power.
It is difficult not TO create these
loopholes in times like the present
when a nation has the tremendous
task OF winning a war as its one
big job. We are so apt to forget the
conditions which may arise in the
years following the war when we
rush legislation to meet the imme-
date needs.
Every citizen Of this country who
wants his children to enjoy the free
doms which our ancestors created
for us should constitute himself 4
watchdog and should communicate
with his congressman whenever he
disapproves of any bills or legisla-
ton which he believes might at
some later time prove Troublesome
or dangerous. We should have 9TH
er committees like the Dies COM
mittee. II that committee could
stop just one little loophole, 1t would

A man who works in an airplane
factory recently asked me: If in
dustry is in such need Of manpoWer,
why doesn't it give us full days

He then went on to tell a story
which I have heard dozens Of times

tory on which the American nation
is depending for war supplies.
He blamed the manufacturer for
taking on hordes of new men when
those already employed hadn't done
a good days work for months. He
blamed government inefficiency for
permitting a shortage Of materials
and parts in a plant which was
geared for fast production. And he
blamed the unions for protecting
the men against imaginary abuses
when the men themselves were
champing at the bit waiting for the
chance to work longer and harder
at turning out planes.
The story of this one plant, when
multiplied by the hundreds which

When we read the figures on the
amazing amount Of war equipment

production figures would be
dwarfed by comparison.
Il is admittedly impossible to
build the vast war industry we now

Drug Manufacturer

DETROIT, Nov. 30 up A
coroner's jury last night report
ed that two recent deaths in
Harper hospital resulted from
an overdose of drug admins
tered intravenously and said
they were due 10 negligence on
the part of drug manufacture
ing company and lack of care
in dispensing and administering
drug.
The deaths were those of Mrs.
Mary Deming, society matron,
and Samuel Bloom, tobacco
merchant. They died within two
days of each other early this
month. Each had been operated
upon for hemorrhoids.
Testimony at the inquest was
to the effect that the drug used
came in two forms and that
through a mistake type intend
ed only for external use was adj
ministered hypodermically. 1t
was described by witnesses as
500 times stronger than the form
intended for hypodermic treat

In the case Of Mrs. Deming il
reported
The findings of this jury are
that Merck & Co. Inc, of Rah-
way, N. j., has been grossly neg
ligent by its mislabeling of the
drug doryl, according TO the
listing in the Merck e. Co. price
list. We hereby hold Merck &
Co. responsible for this death.
I'VE further find that due care
and diligence were not exercised
in dispensing and administering
the drug doryl."
