Mitchell Considers Symphonic
Concerts to Educate Adults

Howard Mitchell, next years con-
ductor Of the National Symphony
Orchestra, thinks not enough people
understand symphonic music. Z
He proposes to meet this situation
with students concerts-for adults.
If school children can enjoy
symphonic music lessons, his theory
Is, SO can their parents. And, Mr..
Mitchell adds, by the end Of the
course they are likely to think SYM
phonies are a lot less highbrow.
The National Symphonys young
associate conductor speaks from ex-
perience. On January II he'll in
augurate his fourth season as mar
rator- director of the orchestra's
high school educational series.

For two years, too, he has been

and children. which are sponsored
by The Star IN high school audi
toriums and broadcast over WMAL,
The Stars radio station. Mr..
Mitchell will lead one of these at

The difference between q student
concert and q regular one Is that you
don't have to be musically initiated
to enjoy 1t. In school programs, Mr..
Mitchell and his players try to give
an idea Of what their music Is all
about. Often they take a composition
to pieces, demonstrating individual
themes and instruments. Before the
talking gets boring, they always
strike up the music, thus giving the
youngsters their symphony concert
IN an easy-to-take version.
Now he wants to 60 after the
adults themselves with the same
technique.

their way into a variety of chari-

little remaining in the form of

finally admitted that if that be the
peoples wish, there was one thing
he would like to have-a boat of

man farmer named Thomas Struth-

sylvania, not far from jamestown,
New York. He visited the day
nursery for the Swedish children
in Buffalo and became so impress
ed with two little girls named
johnson, that he secured permits
sion to take the older one with
him to his home in Warren and
offered to find a similar refuge
nearby for the younger one so
that they could play together.
Before long, however, the John
sons began to miss their little girls
so much that, together, they walk
ed the ninety miles to Warren and
nearby Sugar Grove to see them.
There they not only found the
children well and lovingly cared
for, but were offered employment
themselves. While Mrs. Johnson
remained at Sugar Grove, her hus-
band walked the ninety miles back
to Buffalo to collect their other
children. Driving an oXcart with
the children and baggage on board,
he then walked the ninety miles a
third time. After working in Su-
gar Grove for about year, he ac-
quired a Alarm of his own. The
first man to offer land for a Swe-
dish church in Chandler Valley
when Rev. Hedstrom visited the
colony in 1852, was this Germund
Johnson.
Letters to Sweden brought more
settlers. In the lumber mills
around jamestown they soon found

ception center and rescue mission
for Swedish sailors and immigrants

feet ON the direction of the early
, Swedish settlers to the fertile re-
gions of western Illinois.
Peter Bergner Arrives
In 1882 there arrived in New
York a mate on a Swedish vessel
"a former Swedish army officer
by the name of Peter Bergner.
Originally he was anything but a
religious man, but while conval-
escing after an accident he was
visited by an American missionary
worker who left a tract entitled
Conversations with an Infidel."
The spiritual awakening that fol-
lowed lasted through the rest of
his life. While continuing to work
as a stevedore on the New York
water front and as a ships car
penter, he also began to distribute
tracts and do missionary work, di-
recting his attention chiefly to his
, own countrymen.
Gradually the attendance at re-
ligious meetings he conducted
grew to such an extent that, to
get larger quarters, Bergner ap-
pealed to the Rev. David Terry
Secretary of the Home Mission So
ciety of the American Methodist
Church. There was not then a
, single Scandinavian, church in the
city, though in 1886 the Swedes
had organized a charitable society
which is still in existence. Mr.. Ter
ry and his Methodist friends SUBJ
scribed enough money to buy de-
masted sailing vessel which was
converted to mission house.
Later a more spacious ship was
substituted and for over thirty
years the Bethel Mission served
the incoming Swedish immigrants
as haven of refuge amidst the
chaos of the New York water front.
It's influence extended to many
foreign countries. Both Captain
John Ericsson, inventor of the
Monitor, and Jenny Lind, the IA
nous opera singer, were among
the contributors to its support.
Appointed to Manage Mission
To manage this mission the
, Methodist bishop appointed in 1915
the Rev. Olof Gustaf Hedstrom, a
native born Swede, who proved to
the ideal man for this job and who,
for the next thirty years, devoted
himself entirely to the aid of the
Swedish immigrants.
His story is a romantic one.
Born in 1903, the oldest son of a
corporal in the Swedish army, He'd
strom arrived in New York in 1925
aboard an average Swedish naval
vessel which had been sold to
| Spanish American interests for de-
livery here. Robbed of his last pen
ny ian experience which prepared
him for his future work. he stood
friendless and penniless in a
strange city, unable to understand
or speak a single word of English.
But he was young and strong and
could ply a needle and WELD a

Swedish immigration
Many other members of the
delegation have been here before
and do not therefore need an in
PRODUCTION to our state and city.
We are now proud to see you as
official delegates of your country
and we feel sure you will continue
to visit us as private citizens.
You have just seen the wonders
and felt the stimulating pulse of
the Middle West, but somehow 1
feel it only proper that the climax
of your visit should be staged
here in New York. I say this, not
in vainglorious sense or a spirit
of idle boasting. know the heart
land of the United States is in the
Middle West, but since the main
stream of the Swedish immigra-
ton has always passed through
New York, no matter what its
destination, feel the peak of this
historical celebration should be
reached in this city.
l know that the earliest Swedish
colonists landed over three hun
dred years ago on the South Riv-
err, that is the lower Delaware,
rather than on the North River,
our own Hudson. But once New
Sweden has become Incorporated
with the New Netherlands, its
Headquarters became New Amster-
dam and here the Swedes have
landed ever since. This was true,
for instance, of the Swedish fore
bears of the late President Roose-
welt, of whom he was just as proud
as of the Dutch.
Before the railroads were built
the early Swedish immigrants
found here the starting point of
water route to the West, via the
Hudson River, the Erie Canal and
then the late steamers for De-
troit, Milwaukee and Chicago.
Even those who landed in Boston,
either came here by boat or
reached the Erie Canal at Albany
Building New York
In every generation certain
number of these immigrants re-
manned in New York City or in
various parts of New York State.
Obviously l cannot now even at
tempt to review all their activi-
ties; the churches they have built,
the industries they have devel-
oped, the social welfare work they
have done, their fraternal organi-
cations, their restaurants, their
singing societies, their opera and
film stars, their inventors, their
engineers, their builders-all con-
tributing to our present day
American civilization which is still
in rapid development.
Since this is an historical cele-
bration, l will sketch briefly two
episodes of a hundred years ago,
both illustrating Swedish as well
as American characteristics and
both showing early cooperation be-
tween the two nationalities.
The first is the establishment in
