Mr. Sheesley said to-day that the

34 cents per hundredweight over the

MUSICAL WAVE
SWEEPS COUNTRY
Cities Aid in Spreading Work
Throughout the Smaller
Communities
Within the past two years a great
wave of musical impulse seems to
have been sweeping through the
communities of many of the cities
and towns throughout the country.
This impulse has manifested itself
chiefly through the forming of large
Community Choruses such as the
one in New York under Harry Barn
hart's leadership. Some of these
choruses have numbered several
thousai 1 participants in giving per
formances of the choral works of the
great masters. This,work is always
accompanied by a tremendous en
thusiasm on the part of the per
formers.
Now with music so much in the
forefront of daily life, it is interest
ing to compare musical conditions at
the present time as they are to be
found in the average American vil
lage, with those of the larger towns
and cities. The writer has been in
a position to make observation along
these lines and has found that the
facts acquired, favor the cities de
cidedly and show the tremendous
amount of work yet to be done for
he musical beneli of the small vil
lages.
Aside from community singing as
a factor in the musical growth of the
cities, these same places have long
offered rich opportuniy for a gen
eral musical development and enjoy
ment among their inhabitants,
opera and concerts of every variety
have here been given, and enjoyed by
even those of moderate income. For
tunately, there have been civic move
ments on foot which have established
the giving of concerts in large halls
in winter and in the public parks in
summer. These concerts have been
many and of high character, and
have been given at a small cost of
admission when not entirely free.
Some other phases of urban musi
cal life are the music clubs, the mu
sical departments in the many wo
men's clubs throughout the country
and the conservatories and music
schools. Many of the latter rival
like institutions of Europe in the ex
cellence of their teachers.
Emphasized by Contrast
In most cases the investigation in
villages has brought out the lack of
music more clearly because of Its
sharp contrast to the supply of mu
sic in the cities. The people living
in these scattered places have very
few musical advantages and often
times none at all.
Concerts, save now and then a poor
one outdoors in summer by a visit
ing band, are seldom heard; music
in the churches is at a low artistic
ebb; but few of the congregations
join the hymn singing, and there is
no choir save the "helper" organist
who attempts to plav the organ
Musical instruments In the home are
not uncommon, but musical perform
ers in the family are few and far be
tween and usually of little training.
( ommunity singing is a stimulus
quite unknown save perhaps through
the newspaper. The harvesters'
song is no more heard in the fields,
nor is the boy heard "who whistles
at the plow."
What is being done about all this
musical poverty of the small villages?
Shall it continue to exist, or shall we
utilize to the fullest the many ways
by which the joys of music can be
brought to them in some full sense
Great Work For Music Clubs
The mqslc clubs have been doing
a great good in this direction, i>ut
this vast field is still comparatively
undeveloped. This is a question on
which the clubs should concentrate
in order to devise all. possible means
to make felt in the smal towns and
villages in their respective vicinities
the full importance and necessity of
community music in all its phases
the chorus, the orchestra even if
very small ones, bands, etc. The
resulting relaxation and variety of
activity (in sharp contrast to the or
dinary monotony of village life)
would make community music a wel
come addition.
The time is surely ripe for more
active propaganda than ever to bet
ter the existing conditions, and cer
tainly if bettered, these conditions
would soon bring untold enjoyment
of music to many a human beings in
our land as well as he a powerful aid
to the higher development of the
American people as a whole.

MARKED TENDENCY TO TURN
TOWARD THE
BY JOHN AV. PHILLIPS
T here is a marked tendency now
adays toward the Fold Song. This
is r.ot a backward step, but it is an
acknowledgement that modern mu
sic and ultramodern music has not
tu.tilled its mission. I pointed out
two years ago in this paper, that
modern music, with dissonances
more and more daring,—melodic
structure, —whfere there was a mel
-o('y—s{''f and uninteresting, large
ly reflect the spirit of unrest in
mankind; that we were following
false paths; musically, and that a
fresh start would have to be made,
if we could find basis for a fresh
start. The folk song is the logical
music ci the people—of the masses;
because it is democratic in spirit,
and influence; because it was cre
ated by he people for the people;
because it expresses the joy's and
sorrows, you even the lives and
characteristics# of a people. The so
called liulls of culture have been
busy with much music that was
heard only because it was new, and
not because it was good. The music
critics have had something to write
about. This sort of music has been
autocratic,—heard only by the mu
sical elite—wt.o must keep up with
the blue blooded procession. Much
of this sort o<" music will never be
heard or heard of again, because it
is artificial, —it is invented and not
created. , ...
I can only repeat that we have
neglected the beautiful; the art of
self-expression; and therefore for
feited real creative ability. We have
been too busy getting elHciency; that
is, a kind of grindstone persistency
to master detail, and entirely miss
ing the larger aspects of any prob
lem which really decides its destiny.
We are slaves to system and prece
dent. and music has felt this influ
ence. which has hindered spon
taneity and natural development.
True of Every Nation
Every nation,- —regardless of its
rank as a musical nation—owns its
stock of folk songs, handed down
from generation to generation, and
the common property of all the peo
ple. These songs are so natural and
simple, some so ingenious, as to dis
army the criticism of art; because
they unconsciously follow the rules
laid down by art. There are hun
dreds of these songs that have never
been put down on paper. Native
talent, natural facility and Intro
spective faculty—not culture—cre
ated these songs. „
R is very likely that some of the
finest folk songs came from crude
peasants in moments of joy or grief.
If these songs were crude in form,
at first, they would gradually right
themselves as they went from mouth

Hospitals Are Now
Being Provided
Word has come to Dr. S. G. Dixon,
State Health Commissioner, that,
stimulated by the cases of smallpox
now appearing in the state, several
of the counties are taking advantage
of the Act passed during the Inst
legislative sessions which enables.
County Commissioners to erect hos
pitals for the care of persons suffer
ing from the contagious diseases.
Clearfield, which has the most
marked number of smallpox cases,
at the present time, has determined
tp erect such a hospital, while the
project is also tinder consideration,
not quite so definite, in Erie. The
city of Wilkes-Barre has just voted
$30,000 for the construction of such
a hospital, bearing in mind the con
ditions existing during a previous
epidemic of contagious diseases.
Five new cases in Clearfield
county and one in Harrisburg were
reported to Dr. Dixon's office. Three
of the cases are of children under
eight years of ago in Blue Ball. An
other, a woman who resides in Big
ler nnd who is thought to have con
tracted the infection in Blue Ball.
Another case is that of a man liv
ing in BoKgs township about two
to mouth, and village to village; they
would thus go through a refining
process, as pebbles are polished by
frictions of sand and sea. Lovers,
soldiers, sailors, students, shepherds,
hunters and peasants all had their
peculiar songs. Then there were
scngs of the home, the forest, the
sea, the field and hill; songs of part
ing and reunion, of drinking and
v.cdding, and a great many others
of local or national interest.
The folk song then is inspired bv
life and nature. Tho well-known
and best beloved hymns we could
term sacred folk songs, inspired by
life and nature, plus love of God.
Modern music has no place for tho
sentimental—it has frowned on it,
and demanded in its place the in
tellectual, the austere, and the me
chanically perfect; much of it has
battered the ear and fed the mind.
Some of this music is declared to
be emotional, but I fear it is largely
because of its overpowering volume
and d.'ssonance; which we mistake
for real fefeling.
Not Enough Vitality
Modern music has not enough
genuine vitality to live long. The
folk song—with genuine sentiment
and unaffected simplicity-—-so long
lain dormant—is being revived be
cause it is true and natural musical
expression. Modern music has tried
to express too much—it has tried to
take the place almost of the spoken
drama; it has had for its object
detail and color, instead of truth
and beauty. The revival of the folk
f-cng should be a hint to composers.
Out of Europe will come the halt,
the lame and the blind. They will
each have their incidents to record
—here is the making of folk lore —
here, —if we have sentiment and
simplicity,—and a desire to create
and record musically—is the ma
terial, —the source of an almost nev
er-ending supply.
The war itself should be. left out
of music; it breeds pessimism and
ugliness. The smaller and individ
ual incidents, grave and gay, tragi',
and heroic could well be called legit
imate material for all art. It will
merely require good taste to know
where to draw the line.
