NEWS OF MUSIC
Quintet Makes Debut
In American u. Role

the Phillips Collection held
some promise of diversion.
The reasons for the instru-
ment's reluctance to make solo
appearances are several, but
not the least among them is
the fact that there are precious
few players about who can bend
1t fully to their wills in small
but demanding repertoire of
virtuoso music. Whether the
viola's popular reputation of
stubborn gracelesSneSs is justi-
fled, Mr.. Berger's performance
last night didn't do a great deal
TO alter 1t.
Mr.. Berger drew a full meas
ure of rich tonal beauty from
the viola at many points In the
evening. but his programs more
agile requirements resulted in
too much Of a struggle to per-
NIT the considered shaping of a
phrase, the mastery Of a rhyth-
mic figure or the unequivocal
intonation Of a fast-moving
melody. On the contrary, the
sonata which Schubert wrote
for that curious guitar-shaped
cello called the arpeggione was
labored In both phrasing and
intonation, the rhythmically
taut dance movement which
ended Paul Creston's mediocre
suite moved at an irregular
pace, and the Weber display
piece served to display faulty
intonation more than anything
else.
Mr.. Berger. whose activities
include teaching at New York's
City College, has some stylistic
flair for contemporary music
and has done much to promote
consideration of the viola
among modern composers. In
addition to Creston the Ameri-
can composer. Miriam Gideon
was represented on last nights
program with a dry, but well
constructed sonata whose Incl
sive finale Mr.. Berger treated
with an appropriate intensity.
Mr.. Berger's Accomplishments
were supplied by Philippe Desy
who, when the going got rough,
had his moments of digital in
articulateness and rhythmic
indecision.

The members Of the National
Capital Woodwind Quintet had
themselves a debut last night
at American University. 1t was
not their first appearance as q
performing group, for they have
been well known in the area
for some seasons now, but II
was their first appearance as
Faculty Quintet : in Residence
at AU.
These area musicians, excel
lent individually and now weld
ed tightly together, set out an
impressive program for this
debut concert. From Haydn to
Milhaud and Persichetti, they
played with conscientious fidel-
ity to period styles.
After the intermission Sid
ney Forrest, founder Of the
quintet, took the stage with
flutist Mark Thomas for the
one work on the program
which did not involve the en-
semble. The Chorus by the
late Brazilian composer, Villa
LoboS, is a work Of great diff
ficulty despite its charmingly
naive sound, and 1t was brought
off with distinction.
Most memorable playing Of
the evening occurred in the
Berezowsky suite for wood.

hands which called in one
movement for the flutist To

University Of Southern California
High on the list of serious
social and economic problems
which America faces today is
that Of students dropping out
of school.
BY 1870 only 5 per cent Of
available jobs will be of the
unskilled variety. And yet,
educators predict that rs
million American boys and
girls will leave school prema-
turely between 1860 and 1870.
without a skill to call their
own.
And q large number Of
high school graduates might
almost as well be dropouts
because not more than one
fourth Of the boy graduates
have a saleable skill.
BY training students for
further learning in college
and technical schools, high
schools do meet the needs OF
the majority Of their grad
yates. But schools also have
a responsibility to other stu
dents.
Some so per cent OF the
dropouts give lack Of inter-
est as their reason for leav-
ing school. So the solution
lies In getting each student
interested In his own devel-
opment.
Typical Case Cited
Here's a case that gives us
insight into the whole prob
lem:
Roy left school in the mid
die OF the 18th grade. Tests
showed he was on the sixth
grade level In reading, on the
fifth grade level in math
and that his handwriting was
still childish.
Roy actually was encour-
aged by authorities TO drop
out because Of his refusal TO
do school assignments and
his erratic attendance. There
he was - belligerent at school,
defiant at home. unframed
and unemployable.
Then a friend OF the fam
lily interviewed Roy for a job
In his print shop. He pointed
out that 10 set type Roy
would need basic knowledge
and skills.
Roy needed a working
knowledge OF English gram
mar and speech. so he would
have 10 do better In reading,
writing and spelling. While
waiting on customers. he
would need 10 improve his
speaking ability and attend
10 his personal appearance.
Even as a stock boy. Roy
learned, he would have 10
know more about arithmetic.
Roy got his chance, pure
ly because OF family friend
ship, But as a condition OF
employment. he had TO ac-
cept tutoring In reading,
writing and arithmetic. He
made rapid gains IN each
and improved his personal
appearance as he gained sue
cesses.
A year later Roy started
taking evening classes. and
this time received special
help.
Although Roy has now
graduated from high school.
