Passing OF Koussevitzky Leaves an Era
OF Few Great Musical Personalities
By Alice Eversmon

was their aim. and the results Of
his personal research Kousse.
vitzky brought to his interpreta-
tionS. He tried also to pass these
on to students and to emphasize
the Importance of looking beyond
the mechanical side of music.
An Artistic Hiatus.
There are not many of his kind
OF musician left In the world today.
One by one they leave the rank.
The present day has few Of their
caliber to replace them. We are
faced with period, rich, perhaps.
in excellent musicians, but lacking
in great musical personalities. It
takes the experience Of yearssfor
such development and. meanwhile.
we may well have an artistic
hiatus in this respect. Technical
requirements are so E1vas that an
that can be expected OF a young
artist is perfection in this line
coupled with a proper musician.
ship.
Most Of the older artists who
achieved special fame recognized
their kinship with the great
actors of the theater. They put
themselves in much the same
manner into the role the music
set before them. AS the most
famous Of Shakespearian actors
did. they studied phrase by phrase
OF the score to find a better and
more enlightening Interpretation.
Here the quality Of their mental.
ity came into play and its cultiva.
ton was Of prime Importance to
them. This attitude of theirs was
seldom reached in their younger
years. but was the product Of liv-
ing and experience.
The youth which Koussevitzky
sponsored has grown up in q hard
world. It Is practical, very INTEL
ligent and greatly talented. But
it has little time or inclination
for the softer things Of life. Il
has no opportunity to experience
the charms Of the era when the
older musicians found inspiration
not only in their own fantasy. but
all around them. They are not
to view music as an
actor might, or to immerse them.
selves in its character beyond the
physical aspects. They do not
hear the final nuance or the ex-
ceptional coloring that beauties
and enhances the musical text.
The result Of study along these
lines the older artists are leaving
to the coming generation. No
decade of art can afford to cut all
links with what has gone before.
Koussevitzky, as well as others,
succeeded in forging the new and
the old together. In the manner
in which they did this and in their
conviction as to its value, they
developed their personalities. Their
influence touched all people. How
1t was done can be discovered in
recordings which, fortunately,
provide the means Of appraisal
when the artists themselves are no
more. The greatest homage We
can pay them Is to absorb and
profit by what they learned and
eft to us.

The passing of Serge Kousse-
vitzky last week severed another
tie with the colorful past when
great musicians were also great
personalities. It was as such th2:
the renowned conductor smeritus
Of the Boston Symphony was
able to do the many things that
were constructive as well as orig
inal In the world Of music. He
exercised a potency over the imag-
ination Of the public suficient to
make him q leader in urging
music forward to progressive ends,
in awakening people to greater
endeavor. and in inspiring them
with an understanding of the yet
untapped glories hidden in his
chosen art. More important still
was his championship Of young
musicians and composers on both
OF whom he knew the future of
music depended.
From his earliest days, he had
the courage and resourcefulness
to be original. He became a great
double-bass virtuoso when hardly
any one bothered with the cum
bersome instrument. He entered
the music life of his country in
spite OF the handicaps of poverty.
The story Of his odysseys down
the Volga when he brought music
to so many Of the outlying dis
tr1cts OF Russia is something not
equalled in musical history. The
establishment of his publishing
house helped many Of his COM
patriots to become known as COM
posers. He played their music
when the Russian public was not
any more sympathetic to native
talent than is the American. His
orchestral concerts in Paris were
given before sold-out houses and
the elite Of that gay city.
Champion of Youth.
Many other broad-scaled opera
lions belonged to the years before
ne came to this country. Here,
he took hold of one of the great
orchestras and put his stamp upon
It. He had much to contend with
N the beginning for he was used
TO having his own way and his
Boston public was not yet familiar
with or completely sympathetic
With his ideas. He persisted until
ne established a standard consist

FRANKLIN, Ga. (ANP)- A
five-building grade school, which
boasts a faculty of 10 and a stu
dent body Of 285, owes it's exis-
tence to a combination of a dream,
a prayer, hard work and determin-
alton on the part of it's founder,
Miss Mary Johnson.
The school, named after it's
founder, had it's beginnings in 49,
SO at Ebenezer church with 40
pupils in the first through seventh
grades, all in one room. 1t now
offers a curriculum through the
18th grade.
Miss Johnson began her teach
ing career at the church when she
was 16. However, she gave up
teaching when she married. In 49,
SO, she returned to Franklin
county and took up teaching again.
After using a room of the
church as her first school, she
began the work of building a
school of her own. With her pupils
and interested neighbors, she gave
fish frys and sold candy, and
everything else hat could be ex-
changed for money in an effort to
raise enough funds.
AS a result of this activity, she
finally raised 500. A contractor
told her he would build a one-room
school for 1925. Not having the
amount, she suggested a bargain.
The 500 was put up as a down
payment and she pleadged her
monthly salary as payment until
the entire amount was cleared. AS
a teacher, she was receiving $28
per month.
The school was built and Miss
Johnson and her 40 pupils moved
in. Soon the one-room structure
became two buildings, but mis-.
fortune struck in that the secono
building was burned down.

Service Station Operator
Sues State for $4,000
BY the Associated Press

RICHMOND. Va, June 15.-A
Loudoun County service station
operator, j. r. Downs. of Ashburn,
seeks $25 900 damages against the
commonwealth In a suit docketed
yesterday in Richmond Circuit
Court.
The Downs and several other
plaintiffs. described as joint ten
ants charged that the State High
way Department failed to drill an
adequate well on premises to
which the service station had been
moved to give the department
the right of way through the
former location.
The plaintiffs charge that the
well furnished an insufficient
water supply, and that the
Loudoun County health officer,
DR.. Charles G. Souder, has cited
them for violating State Health
Department standards. This has
made it impossible to do business
at the new location.
Attorney General j. Lindsay AL
mond. jr.. replying for the COM
monwealth, claimed all of the
plaintiffs have not signed the
option agreement. The answer
also states that the circuit court
lacks jurisdiction to award COM
pensation for the land.
