What a sad case we had on
Saturday when four children be-
tween the ages of four and seven
drowned in a rock pit at 68th
st. and 23rd ave. It is mighty
tough on those parents. Every
year somebody's child or children
drown in some of our rock pits. 1t
is natural for the kids to visit
such places if they are in their
neighborhood. They have no

West Point Cribbing
Known in 'R, Lawyer
Says of DisnisssIs

An attorney investigating last
years discharge Of 90 West Point
cadets said yesterday that officials
of the Military Academy knew as
long ago is l94s that cadets were
getting unauthorized help on their
examinations.
The report came from Robert
Daru. counsel for the committee
on justice of the New York Crimi-
nal and Civil Courts Bar Associa-
ton.
Mr.. Daru told q news conference
that academy officials did nothing
to wipe out the irregularities be-
tween 1913 and 1851. when they
suddenly discharged the 80 cadets
on ground that they received or
gave help on examinations. Mr..
Daru said this delay virtually
trapped number Of cadets into
examination irregularities.
Wants Reinstatement or Probe.
He urged the cadets be restored
to West Point or else the whole
affair be investigated by Congress
at pubic hearings.
Mr.. Daru said examination Ire
regularities we're brought to the
attention Of West Point officials
in 194S, when a graduate Of thai
year returned to the academy
athletic trophies he had received.
The inference was that the
trophy winning athlete, whom Mr..
Daru did not identify, had re-
ceived unauthorized help to pass
his examinations.
Mr.. Daru said that, in 1949,
cadets still in school reported to
the West Point adminiStratio
that some cadets were cribbing.
Sees Delay as Trap.
Again in January, 1851. Mr..
Daru said, West Point officials
were told about examination ir-
regularities but did nothing.
Instead of using inforners,
West Point should have warned
the cadets" Mr.. Daru said. "The
oficials' failure to act sooner was
almost like setting a trap"
The irregularities developed
mostly from the academy's prac-
tice of giving identical examina-
tions on successive days, Mr.. Daru
said. A cadet who took the ex-
animation the first day would tell
other cadets what questions they
would be asked on the second.
The academy has now abandoned
this system.

These are but a few examples Of
how much willingness there is in

age promising young talent.
18th Century Roots
: Organized effort on this score
is not over SO years old, but its
results already are tangible. More
than one source may be it's origin.
Looking back into the 18th CEN
tury, traces of this movement
may be found in the practice of
wealthy American patrons of
music sending their proteges to
Europe for STUDY. 1t was they
who also paid the bill to start
these young students and others
on a concert career.
=. 1t was purely American prac-
tice. The European system to
help young hopefuls was simpler
and less costly. Worthy but needy
talent was either supported by the
government or given free instruc-
ton by teachers - out of the
kindness of their hearts and with
out drawing public attention to
themselves. In a similar manner.
talented performers were re-
ferred by word of mouth from
one influential person to another
for engagements.
Although this movement to as
slst In musical education and con-
cert careers was already on the
way at the time of World War I,
young people had great difficulty
getting attention. In the concert
field. the doors were open only
TO those who had already "ar-
rived or had a sponsor. The lack
OF wisdom displayed in the COM
mercial field by those in power,
who withheld entree to good un-
known musicians - their asking
OF lat fees. which. if given, PROM
1Sed nothing in return-is respon-
slble for the present shortage of
Eell-established names.
Scholarship Gronts
FlrSt-class musical education
was made available in this coun-
try a quarter of a century ago
with the founding of several
major institutions. Scholarship
grants by foundations, which
sprung up almost simultaneously,
encouraged musical culture on a

puUIlC SCHOOLS increased the gen.
eral interest and created more
and better amateurs.
The development being made
now is to lift the standards oi
mass musical education, especially
that of string players. This effort
is made necessary by the shortage
of qualified musicians to fill tn,
ranks of professional orchestras, o
Which there is an ever-increasins
number. Various means are be-
ling devised to stimulate interest il

On the local scene music mind.
ed and spirited citizens took il
upon themselves to help wipe out
the existing shortage of special
lied teachers and of proper
equipment in the public school
system. Through the instigation
of the Citizens Committee for
Music in the District of Columbia
Schools a bill has been introduced
in Congress by Representative
Kearns which. if approved, will
permit the District Board of Edu-
cation to accept gifts in the form
of cash, land, buildings, services
instruments, equipment or other
wise, and to enter into cooper
ative agreement with other public
agencies and with non-profit cor
porationS and associations"
Even assuming this bill passes,
however, the present worry of the
committee is that it will be two
years at least, in the normal
course of events, before the in
StrumentS and other equipment
are in the hands of students. The
citizens committee hopes that
with the public support which the
Kearns bill has attracted. a func
may be established which will.
permit an earlier start on the pur-
chase of instruments and the con-
tracing of instrumental teachers
for the elementary schools.

beginning at 10 am, will be helc
by the Institute of Teaching Tech.
Iniques at Hurst Hall on the Amer.

Isored by the Washington Music

tute is open to all teachers in the

concerning registration may be

The second meeting of the
Greater Washington Music Coun.
ell is to be held Friday at the
YWCA. At the meeting, open to

and a charter submitted for adop-
ton. The objective of the or
ganization is to coordinate mu-
slcal activity in the city. reduce
conflicts in programs and permit
those interested in music to ex-
press themselves as a group
rather than as individuals.
