It cannot be that its sweet sounds
alone or its varied rhythm could
work the wonders science cannot
effect. It must be that the unde-
finable essence of music, beyond
mortal ability to describe, comes
through the sound and the rhythm
to perform its miracle. Surely
all those who have known of the
benefits of music for the sick
must admit that there is some
thing back of the silver sound, ="
something not even a minister
of the church can always COM
mand.
The need today of a re-en-
forcement of all our spiritual bull
warkS is acknowledged on all sides.
1t is to be hoped that the Music
Teachers, now celebrating the dia-
mond jubilee of the national or
ganization, will drive home this
point in all their talks. no matter
what the technical subject. The
duty of spreading an appreciation
of music and of making it prom
inent part of individual and COM
munity living, devolves heavily on
all musicians. But the greater re-
sponsibility is theirs of seeing that
its spiritual qualities are increased
and made apparent. In this time
of struggle between good and
evil, it must be made use OF to

Spiritual Force of Music Neglected
In Progron1n7ing for Teachers
By Alice Eversmon

The schedule of discussions
planned during the convention OF
the Music Teachers National AS
sociation this week in Washington
shows how the trend of the times
has cast its influence over the
music-teaching profession. That
the leaders in the instruction field
are well aware of the growing
Importance of music, and how 1t
can be employed for wide-reach-
ing results today, is reflected in
the choice of subjects to be con-
sidered. Only one-music as a
spiritual force-has not been listed
unless it is contained in the talks
on Choral and Organ Music. at
which Paul Galloway will preside
as chairman.
At this season of the year, there
Is stock taking of our spiritual
condition. For a week or more,
the special hymns of the Christ
mas time and the sacred carols
have sounded throughout the
world leading to a elimination in
the church services today and to-
morrow. An effort has been made
through this beloved and cher
ished music to hold firmly to the
higher concepts of living. as en-
bodied in the meaning of Christ
mas Day, at a time when their
value is rapidly declining in every
part of the world.
This is not a sudden situation
that has sprung up within the
last few years. It has been grow
ing steadily and insidiously for
q long time. The various fields of
music have been affected by it as
much as have other departments
of our existence. AS deplorable as
is any acceptance of a plan of liv-
ing without spiritual guidance, the
fact that such a gracious and
inspiring art as music has fol-
lowed suit is a matter of grave
concern. For there is inherent in
music gentle insistence on spir-
ituality that can penetrate the
most stubborn barriers and melt
the hardest heart.
Artists, Composers Affected.
We find that composers and
artists are affected by the realism
and materialism of the age. The
latter have before their eyes fire.
quently only the appeal to the
public and a consequent financial
gain. The quality of their art is
gagged to that end. Only rarely
is a composer discovered whose
music carries more than intel
1ectual interest. When the con-
trary exists it is felt no matter
how advanced the writing style
or how unfamiliar to the ear. The
strange part about the spiritual
element in music is that it cannot
be hidden. Its voice is heard and
