"Music's P lace in Educa t ion" is the title of a most in te res t ing news­paper chap te r by the well-known wri ter John E r sk ine , where in he expounds the cause and effect of h i s s t a t emen t : "If we examined the college cur r icu lum not th rough the j jealous eyes of our t rad i t ion but with a I She was fresh and unbiased outlook, we should probably be amazed at the small provision it m a k e s for cer ta in essential cu l tu re" . . . many of us criticize college s tudents , most il-logically, for their incompetence in the ar ts , for the bad per formance they make of the i r lives, for their unfor tunate m a n n e r s — c r i t i c i z e thjCm, in other words, for not hav­ing the education we didn' t give them . . . They like to dance. The starved urge toward per formance comes out in the i r passion for this, the most pr imit ive form of expres­sion. I have known very few col­lege faculties in which one wouldn ' t hear crit icism of the way the stu-

I have known none whatever which wpuld pe rmi t a course to teach the s tuden t s to dance better .

But whatever the reason, the one spot in our educat ion where we now really teach both a r t s a n d sci­ences is the early g rades . The re they learn to draw, to paint , to sing, somet imes to play an ins t ru­ment, to m a k e little plays a n d ac t them, to model in clay. And with perfect logic they a r e t augh t a t the same t ime some e lements of the a r t of living, some principles of their personal bea r ing toward the i r fel­lows, and of their social responsi­bility.

And I personal ly believe t h a t the abandonmen t of a subject af ter some years of study, but before the s tudent has acqu i red genuine pro­ficiency in it, causes a serious re­action aga ins t the subject. T h e fact tha t the ins t ruct ion in Lat in and Greek . so often led to no ability—to read ei ther Lat in or Greek, caused. I think, exaggera ted an t ipa thy to those s tudies . The a m o u n t of t ime given to modern languages , unless some ability to speak and read is acquired, often produces an active hostility to them.

This is t rue par t icu la r ly in the case of music. The impression one would get from a casual observa­tion of college boys and girls is t ha t few of them have a deep love of music or even a mode ra t e t a s te for it. But if w e were to . look a t the youngsters in the k inde rga r t ens , and lower g rades we should get

• • • G. E . CHORAL SOCIETY

T h e r e has recently been formed by the General Electr ic Athlet ic Association a choral society under the direction of Will iam Ar thu r Jones . This group, which is made up of members of the athlet ic asso­ciation, rehearses every Tuesday evening a t 8 o'clock in the card room of the club house. A new piano has been purchased. With such fine facilities with which to work, it does not take much imagi­nat ion to see the possibility of a splendid choral organizat ion within the General Electr ic Company.

MUSIC FEATURE SUGGESTED Several suggest ions of plans have

come in to "The -Music Box" con­ce rn ing a "May Fes t iva l" in Sche­nectady, which would include a mu­sical t ou rnamen t , a joint chorus of all the s inging groups in Schenec­tady, a day for the music groups of Albany, Troy, Sara toga , etc, and a p r o g r a m by public school children.

Such a festival can br ing benefits no t only to the merchan t s , the lay^ man and the par t ic ipants , but to Schenec tady ' s reputa t ion and

Sibelius Symphonies Will Be Recorded

The little F inn ish republic h a s set an example which l a rger na­tions migh t emulate . T o w a r d the recording of the symphonies of its famous son, Sibelius, it has con­t r ibuted the sum of 50,000 m a r k s , with the resul t t ha t a l ready the re are available excellent p h o n o g r a p h recordings of the first a n d second symphonies .

I t is improbable tha t the com­pany which has unde r t aken the se recordings would have done so without a subsidy. The F inn i sh government , which made it possi­ble by a g r a n t when Sibelius was in the 30's, for him to devote him­self to composing, c o m « forward a second t ime and sponsors^ar t in a tangible way.

Where a re the recordings of the . music of MacDowell, of Char les Martin Locfller, of any Amer i can composit ions of ou t s t and ing qual­i ty? Is it th inkable t h a t W a s h i n g ­ton would aid in such a p ro jec t?

t rcs~or~any^other-subject :"The pur­pose of such a provision would be not to t ra in professional musicians , but to conserve a n d to ca r ry on normal ly wha teve r musical ability the s tuden t s br ing to college with them.

If there were t ime T should like to a rgue to a finish with any edu­cator* who doubt* the disciplinary and cul tura l value of pract ical music study, proper ly directed. The a m o u n t of prac t ice necessary for a weekly or fortnightly lesson in music involves two or three t imes the moral and intellectual effort which the ave rage s tudent expends on any other course. Two hours a day of pract ice demand absolute concent ra t ion in order to produce results , and they can be c r a m m e d into no th ing shor t of 120 minutes . Music pract ice canno t be sur rept i ­tiously worked up, as many a his­tory lesson is, dur ing morn ing chapel or the Sunday sermon. Mu­sical pe r fo rmance differs from any other reci tat ion now encouraged in our classrooms* in t h a t it mus t be good as a whole as well as in detail, and the s t u d e n t can expect no lucky b r e a k in the quest ion he d raws from the ins t ruc tor .

I therefore think tha t the time for music s tudy migh t very well be taken from Engl ish , which is ' my own subject . The Engl i sh depar t ­men t has inher i ted most of the t ime in the schedule which the clas­sics once occupied, and under one excuse or a n o t h e r we Engl ish
