essary limitations that flow
from the legal status of these
schools in accord with the
covenant of the American
heritage. These public schools
demand what every free Soc
iety requires, a strong priv
ately organized system of free
churches and synagogues sup
ported by faithful parents
who keep burning the altar
fires of a living faith. If free
men fail this duty at home
and in the house Of worship,
then there is no future to a

In reporting the statement
released by the Board of Di-
rectors of the Council of
Churches regarding religious
observances in the public
schools, your reporter en-
phasized the concern of our
board that no child in the
public schools be forced to
attend religious observances
with which he was not in
sympathy. At the same time
the report overlooked one
very important fact, namely,
that the Board of Directors
of the Council of Churches
disagreed with the Jewish
Community Council on their
proposal that all religious OBJ
servanceS be banned by the
various school boards.
Rather, the board of the
council preferred the at
moSphere of freedom in
which the full content of
human experience, including
the religious aspects might
be taught in any course, and
in which school administra-
tors could use their own
Judgment as to what religious
and cultural obServances
might be employed. To some
of us this atmosphere of
freedom, as opposed to a
strict ban on religious OBJ
servances, is more in keep
ing with the history of our
country and with the nature
of democracy.

narrow selection of them at
that. But his acquaintance
with the American theater it
self is first hand, and like.
every wise historian, he has
passed on to us some of the
best tidbits.
Musicians have always had
a hard time of it. But the
modern orchestral player is
more fortunate than his COL
leagues of bygone days. In
1894 "in Boston, the musi-
clans printed a card in the
newspapers begging the
'thoughtlesS or ill-disposed
not to throw apples, stones
and other missiles into the
orchestra"
OF course, there is more
serious discussion. DR.. Mates
makes. a valiant attempt to
sort oft the various kinds of
theatrical musical entertain
ments: Ballad opera, comic
opera, pasticcio, pantomime,
masque and all the rest of it.
Up to a point the definitions
and lines of demarcation are
clear and convincing.
But only up to a point.
Ultimately they collapse. This
is only fitting, for the boun-
daries were in fact fluid and
the Technology confused;
one can go only so far in i'm
posing order on this protean
mass.
THE GENERAL qualitative
level of American cultural life
during the period is somewhat
beside the main point. But
it comes under consideration,
and it is most interesting to
note the consensus that in
the performing arts the young
country was not much if at
all below the level of England
and the continent.
1t was also up to date. The
latest in European art crossed
the Atlantic with remarkable
rapidity. Indeed, DR.. Mates
remarks that some of Schil-
ler's plays were performed in
translation in America before
they reached England. Such
things as recent Haydn SYM
phonieS were perfectly we'll
Known here too.
There is considerable dis
cuSSion of American theat-
rical buildings, their size and
construction, how they were
lighted and heated and so on.
This kind of information
takes us right to the heart of
the life of earlier times and
it exerts a genuine fascina-
ton.
One hopes then that "The
American Musical Stage Be
fore 1900" will find readers
beyond the rather small group
of those interested in Ameri-
cas- early music.

THE AMERICAN MUSICAL

STAGE BEFORE 1900, by
Julian Mates. 331pp., illus.

with the subsidy of Son.
neck Memorial Fund in the
Library of Congress-, Sc.
In the late 18th and 18th
centuries in England, the
theater and the lyric theater
were very nearly the same
thing. Music lovers who have
heard some Of the music for
Shakespeare by Purcell or
Matthew Locke know of this.
And as DR.. Mates points out,
"Garrick is renowned for
having wiped many of
Shakespeare's plays free of
operate accretions during the
time he ruled London's stage
1742-76), but even he left
the songs and dances in Mac
beth, kept the elaborate Act
I Masquerade and Act V
funeral procession in Romeo
and Juliet, countenanced a
Tempest of 1855 which con-
tanned thirty-tWo songs and
duets, a dirge with Arne's
music in Cymbeline, a Mid
summer Nights Dream with
thirty-three songs, elaborate
professions in Coriolanus,
and tremendous pageantry
for the coronation scene and
the christening of Elizabeth
in Henry VIII"
We come to the end of that
sentence somewhat fatigued,
it is true, but nonetheless
firmly convinced that THE
American Musical Stage be-
fore 1900" is a book of wider
scope and interest than it's
title may at first seem to in
dicate. It is a book about
music, of course, and more
particularly a book about a
single musical work, the comic
opera "The Archers" by Will
liam Dunlap and Benjamin
Carr first produced on April
18, 1876.
THIS UNCELEBRATED
composition achieves it's posi-
ton by virtue of being "the
first extant all-American
opera to be put on stage by a
professional company" Dun
laps libretto is admittedly
ghastly though probably no
worse than the average pro-
duction of the time. Carr's
music has been much praised.
DR.. Mates reproduces one of
the songs and it seems clear
that its admirers are mott
waited more by patriotism
than musical taste.
But the point for the general
reader is not to be found in
"The Archers" but in the fact
that in tracing its lineage and
the circumstances of its pro-
duction. DR.. Mates, an assist
ant professor of English at
c. w. Post College Of Long
Island University, has written
a most informative and enter
tanning book about the history
of the early American stage
and the social conditions in
which its activity took place.
There is, for example, a
chapter on theatrical COM
panies in which we learn of
their wanderings and eco
nomics, their changing for
tunes and their repertories.
DR.. Mates has taken his
musical knowledge from sec
ondary sources, and a rather

the sign while the batter is
still in the on-deck circle.
A THIRD WAY is to keep
the bench jockeys shouting
and gestculating so much
that nobody-sometimes in
Guiding the batter-knoWs
when the sign is given. The
opposition keeps one pair of
bench eyes on the manager,
because signs usually origi-

no fool-sometimes passes
the sign to another player on
the bench, who then passes
it to the third base coach,
who passes it to the batter
who, unfortunately, strikes
out.
Often, as Joe says, it's

who is passing the little

sign, then issue another one
which erases the first one.
This confuses everybody.

signs at the same time. One
may be from the coach, tell

may be from a bench jockey,
who has stolen the signs
between catcher and pitcher
and knows that a fast ball
is coming. The second one is

The Phillips Collection
started its season yesterday
afternoon with recital that
would have been just the ticket
for jaded musical appetites
around, say, February, but was
nonetheless a refreshing opener.
The afternoons star artist
was marimba player Douglas
Williams, presumably an out
standing performer on his in
strument and clearly a sensi-
tive and acute musician. With
a sizeable array of mallets and
considerable technical control
Mr.. Williams made a convinc-
ing argument for his instru-
ment's tonal and dynamic
flexibility and its variety of
expression.
Such familiar piano pieces
as Prokofiev's C major Prelude
and Ginastera's Creole Dances
took on new prospective in
crispness and tone color and
surprisingly, came off sound
ing perfectly idiomatic to the
marimba. The afternoons
fanciest display piece was a
Weber Polonaise but, to judge
by the number of near misses,
the most taxing may well have
been the Prelude arranged from
Bach's E major Violin Partita.

side, four Bartok Dirges were

go out of our way to take

fear of germs. I seem to be
afraid of serious, incurable
ailments. l lost a member
of my family who died from
cancer of the stomach. I now
cannot enjoy my home. After

am still afraid of the bed.
If you could convince me
that it is impossible to con-
tract the disease, my fear
and hand-washing would be
over. but I want to be sure.
I have been afraid of
germs before, but I would
get over the scare. But this
time it stays with me.
Please help me with some
sensible advice which I know
you can give. I am normal
in every other way, and am
sure I do not need pSychi-
atric help. Please advice me
soon. To disguise my iden-
