MUSIC WEEK TYPIFIES AN ESTHETIC REVOLUTION In Genuine Appreciation of the Best Instrumental and Vecal Art America la Earning a New Prestige IX THK absence of n universally accepted definition, the propriety of character Izlns Americans as n musical people has been the theme of much inconclusive debate. AVhal nre the iiualltlfatlen for such a title? If production of erlRlnul works of supreme genius Is required, the alignment of the foremost musical nalleni differs little from thai of n. full century uge. The pre-eminence of Central Kurnpe, with n western offshoot In France. 11 southern In Italy and, within the lit Ht fifty years, with flourishing annexes In Scamllunvla and Itussla, Is Indisputable. A llelglau by descent, :i German by blrtl., an Austrlun by resilience, the unchallenge able Heetheven may be fitly regarded as it iilltured product of theve tones, secliil anil racfnl, in the heart of the Kurepean peiiin peiiin sela In which the harvest of musical Insplin Insplin lien has been richest. This rechening, however, Ignmes two fac tors of considerable consequence In any ioiii ieiii prehenslve chnrllng of iniislc - unschooled folk inspiration, as In Spnln, I'ertugat and I.atlu America, and the power of apprecia tion, which has attained uliuesi iinexunipled propei liens In the I'nlted States. It i, liideeil, upon this iiilghtt an ess of peimlai' Interest that the claim of this coun try te be ranlicd with the musical nations of the earth may be worthily piesented. Within the last quarter of a tentiiry llieie lias lieen eiieiled in (lie I until States an artistic revolution the censequeiues of which are only beginning te he realized. The fear of beauty is sometimes tegaided as in the main 11 puritan Inheritance: lis dissolution as earnest of a thriving tolerance and breadth of view.

I Te the subsequent and isuupmaiivelr re cent collapse of the banieis of prejudice, el which the Inauguration of Music Week here today is only one Index, llieie me few par allels In the annals of esthetics. Tlie new freedom lu music Is in particular an Inspiring exhibit. The taste engendered by the educational efforts of ardent spokes men, by the natural pregiess of the Natien, by mechanical reproductive agencies, vital izing the home with art hitherto almost In accessible. Is In no sense specious. Theie Is a refreshing scarcity of pose in the eleva tion of the present high standards. Te a degree unmatched here lu nnhliec tine, painting, sculpture or the best drama, musical art has been, as It weie. unfrozen. The variety and excellence of musical en tertainment, the Increasing influx of the best artists, operas and Instrumental composi tions from abroad, the remarkable develop ment of native singers and ether musicians and the huge patronage of these attractions securely attest this liberation. As a music center in the country. l'hlladelphln Is sec ond only te Xew Yerk, and, considering the pre-eminence of our Orchestra, this ruling Is pet haps tee i ensen at lie. A rlih diversity of vocal and instrumental concerts will mark the formal observance of Music Week, Hut the special gluinnur of this period Is net exclusively letleclhe of musical conditions here. The present season has been distinguished by the stimulating mid successful visits of four notable organizations In the sphere of grand opera alone the San Carles, the Met Met rnielltnu, the Chicago and the Itusslnu companies. Mr. Minkewski's en hestra cycle has been brilliant. Other symphonic pin diictleus have swelled the list, ami in addi tion there has been un opulent leuud of ills. tinguished virtuosi, musical offerings by vigorous home oigauizatieiis and the new Irresistible musical piegress of Individual students and the festerlnif of musical taste and knowledge in the public schools, Music has ceased te be formidable when even Rlchaid Strauss mid Bruhins are trans ferred ie living-room phonographs or Chepin and Grieg te uncannily reproductive pianos, carrying n welcome message te the auditors! America Is net ban en of composers; vvll ness MacUewell, Cmpenter, Grlffes, liadley and Cudman; hut the list Is net yet com parable with that of Central Kurep'e. While the seli of original creation Is still In process of enrichment, appreciation assuredly may claim lis due Where tasle Is se keen and the appeal of the finest music se genuine, a healthy and Invincible culture capable of major achieve ments mil) be unaffectedly anticipated. cex and McSparran WHOF.VF.U arranged te have Jehn A. McSparran appear en the same plat form with former Governer Jmnes M. Cox, of Ohie, ut the Jeffersen Day celebration In HarrUburg had evidently neglected te read the election returns from this Stnte for lOlfl and 1020. Mr. McSparran Is seeking election as Governer en the Democratic ticket. Dut ve-jaecratic issues are net directly involved ;-:4ftfmkii art natleWl tvartUa.' and.'-, A ai there Is any differenee between tnem inatsqmerencn arises' from opposing views en the best na tional policies. The Governer of Pennsyl vania has nothing te de with tariff legisla tion, nor with the nationalizing of the rail reads, nor with internal revenue taxation, nor with the foreign policy of the Govern ment, nor with the size of the army or the navy. The attempt te tfe up the campaign of McSparran for the governorship with the efforts of Cox ie keep himself nllve as n national Democrntle leader is likely te react disastrously upon McSparran. There are two reasons for this. One Is that this State Is overwhelmingly ltepiibliran oil national Issues and the ether Is that Cox himself is unpopular here. When Mr. )Vilsen was a candidate for re-election In 1010 he polled e'Jl.OOO votes. The women were net (hen enfranchised. Yet in 11)211, when the women voted, Mr. Cox polled only AO.'t.OOO votes, or 18,000 less than Mr. Wilsen, while Mr. Harding polled l.'-'l.S.OOO votes, or filii.OOO mere than Mr. Hughes polled In 1D1C. One would have thought, under the cir cumstances that Mr. Cox himself would have perceived that he could de nothing for any Democratic candidate In this State mid that he would have remained In Ohie. And one would have thought also (hat McSpnr inn's manager would have had better judg ment than te ask a man who could net even poll his paily vote in n national election te speak en the same platform with their can didate. Hut the Democratic capacity for blunder ing Is Inexhaustible. This llarrlshurg Inci dent seems in he mi rely its latest iiiatil iiiatil festalieii. A REAL WAR OF WORDS AMIUTIOl'S Powers and mere or less furtive anil powerful private groups acting with their aid and sanction continue le press furiously for control beyond their own territories In what might be called the new paits of the Old World. The wars of Imperialism me being lentliiued deter minedly, lint the ammunition new is words. Conquests (is great as aimles ever sought are being englueeied hv the tre mendous ineeluiiiltin of modernized propa ganda. Hew tile campaigns aie managed is pretty clearly revealed in the icpert of 11 survey teceiitly completed in Cliiiiu and ether pnrts i of the Car Kast by it special investigating commission representing the Press Congress of (he World, an international organization of journalists formed solely In the interest of truth and honestly presented news. The modern imperialist reverses the pine esses of the militarist. lie first attempts te capture mid control the mind of n people. That accomplished, the capture of terri tory is relatively easy. If It Is necessary le poison or paralyze or utterly devitalize the mind of the count!) attached the job is done. And, what is mere, the commanding officers care little about the Incidental damage they may de te neiitials. The game of propa ganda is played without rules. That Is why the general subject ought le be of interest te the I'liilcd States which, often enough, is caught in rlie line nf attacks new dltected from half a dozen places In Kurepc at the heart mid mind of the Orient. The siney of I lie piepagnndii system of the Far Y.wX showed that twelve highly or ganized news seniic. most of iheiu directly or indirectly suhsldired by I'urepean Powers or by Japan, issue dally news te the Chinese native press. In many in-iniyes the serv ice js rendered without cost. ' And in such cases the news is rehu.'d te suit the par ticular purposes of one or another foreign diplematic1 policy or the ends of the Power whose nationals own or council the dis tributing system. Thus suspicion, bate and false beliefs can be made te order lu very large areas of China. The Chinese can he made ie believe I Imi their friends me their enemies and that their enemies aie their friends. Thus, dining the Conference for liinrma nient in Washington, a large section of the Chinese new .spa per press was led te make it appear that the interests of China were being deliberately heliayed by the Cniled States Government nuclei- the direction of President Harding. It Is as hard te over take a lie in China as II is nnvwhere else. The iruthjwas told in the Associated Pi ess dispatches te large Chinese newspapers and by cables from iepreseut.it lies f ether large news organizations like the Priiur l.MitiKlt I Service.

As a matter of fact, iheie u 0 place wheie there is menu provocation le humor than a college, unless It be a Legislature, or a City Council, or a political convention, or n sewing sec.ety. or a fashionable ball, or a meeting of a beard of directors, or any ether assembly of men m women or of men and women.

LOWRIE I HAVE always held that If seme one asked rnii n nitfiatlnii In the mnrnlnff VOII had only te wnlt until 'afternoon te hnvc the answer come your way without se much as holding tin n linger te beckon It. ' 'The ether morning, for Instance, '.was called up by the committee in charge of the Academy meeting nt which Lady Aster spenks today and asked te send a character sketch of her that could be printed for pur peses of news. I. had never met Lady Aster nor nnv of the famous T.anchernc sisters: nor hnil.l seen her nor did I knew any one -se far ns 1 was aware who could describe her te me. v I premised rather, vaguely te "make a Meb" nt writing iibeut her, however, before the sun should set en my Ignorance, and then I went about ether affairs perfectly sure that If I were (e write her up the where withal would be given me "out of the every where into the here." SUHB enough at lunch in my accumulated mail I found n letter from n woman whose opinion en any one Is worth having, because she Is Scotch in her reticence and Irish In her observation. This Is what she thought of (he Asters: "II. nnd I went down te the dinner given lu N'evv Yerk for Lady Aster. It was n glorious occasion and unique. I could net begin te give you nn Idea of her. They both have net only exceptional chnrm and leeks, but thev have manner and humor mid the accomplishment of something real through their own efforts and conviction :i rather unevpecrcd 'Inward earnestness' which Is very taking and very apparent. If she comes te Philadelphia de sec her. It is probably quite as much seeing us hearing. ".Miss Agnes ltcppllur also spoke, and, though the papers scarce v mentioned her, she was quite ns extraordinary In her way as the Asters. There she steed, quite of another generation, yet making the most modern, fluent, finished, exquisite verbal essay you ever heard amusing, serious, common sense nnd nil clever. Wasn't she nn antl-suffraglst once? The ether night she was the champion of woman's place in po litical life. I wish you had been at the din ner: It would have been wonderful te write up." I WAS duly grateful for this "help ever hard places" ami meditated whether I could tut n It le ncceiinl when Inter en in tlie evening I discovered by chance that the mmi ihat was put next le me nt dinner was a cousin of (he l.angheriics and had stepped with Ihe Asters and could give mc a still mere amplified lmpiessien of Lady Aster, whom he pionetincccl se charming that be fore you were with her ten minutes you were npt te think her the most beautiful person in tlie world ami the most delightful and the plcasantest te laugh with and the cleverest te match wits with. Kquipped thus with Ihe opinion of n very observing mid experienced woman nnd mi exceedingly discriminating young man, Lady Aster looms pleasantly distinct en my hori zon. 1 shall go te hear her and (e sec her (his afternoon nt the Academy. Great charm such ns she has If all accounts be true is a very great possession, mid used ns she uses H is a distinct asset Ie the country of her adoption as well as n credit te (be coun try of her birth and upbringing.

It begins with the child of primary school age or younger, as it should de. and gees hand hi hand Willi practical physical culture and recreation ex eicises us well as menial training. Net en! everv large citv. but every small community, should have n Department of Public Scheel Hygiene mid Physical l.dticntlen. There should be thorough, systematic inspection pf Ihe children by tt competent stuff of physi cians, as it Is being curried out at present in cities, but mere importantly the home should be linked up with the public school through speclnllv trained visiting nurses, of whom tills city has some, but net a siiuirien'. iiuuUier, who should' teach the caic of tin health of children nnd domestic hygiene in the home as well. Liberal Appropriations Needed "Te carry out such n program demands (hat Heards of education shall make mere libeial appioprialiens than they mc doing nt present for this purpose. They need te bieaden their views with regard te u-ainlns In public-school hygiene, carefully super vised play, drills and the like. "It is well te remind the geneial public annually through the observation of a Health Dav of what the adult should de te keep his body in health and that building up his physique le tlie maximum level is the best vnfcgimrd against germ disease, including these common und much-dreaded affections, pulmonary tuberculosis and pneumonia. "Every one should recognize the fact that Ihe erea'tcht enemies of mankind nre the countless germ diseases which cause merj than 50 per cent of all deaths. Many per per tens worry themselves about these micru micru peeple enemies and then. In consequence of their Ignorance, come into dlicct contact with thein in simple ways.. "In general, tlie individual also bestows tee little time and attention upon the rules and regulations which are intended te puard against tlie contraction of communicable, diseases.

"Theie is still nnetber broader, national view te be taken of Ibis question of the public health.
