The Pilot: The best measure and sign of the enlightenment of any community is found in the quality of its schools. I? the whole public school program in Southern Pines is on as high a ein schools and colleges nowadays. And those boys who did sing here demonstrated that Southern Pines boys have excellent voices.

The this is the case or not. Judging from the recent concert I attended, the music is in exceptionally good hands and the children are responding in a delightful and fortunate manner. Mr. Webster .says he is very proud of his music department. The singing was not only good; it was in most respects unusual. The best schools in the north do not do better and sometimes worse. And it 1.“! to be hoped that no one underesti mates the benefit to children. Popular opinion is apt to consider music pleas ant and desirable but comparatively unimportant, and certainly never in- di.-^pensable. Other subjects may easily be allow ed to crowd music into corners, or even, under stress of financial cir cumstances, to eliminate it in the in terest of arithmetic, geography, his tory, English, etc. It is easy to defend the proposition that music as an educational disci- the perfect pitch, the relaxation and lestraint, the modulation and good enunciation, the smooth solidity.

Our farm paper is in good shape. Why should farmers be picked on if any saving is to be done ? NEW DEALER.—That is just one suggestion getting attention. Anoth er one is that the RFC stop lending and force borrowers to look to pri vate sources for money. Then as loans are paid off and profits pile up the result would be a better looking bud get picture. BANKER. — They might do that with some people. But look at our case. We sold the RFC preferred stock to bolster up our capital posi tion. What if the local people got the Idea that the Government was clos ing in on us. You would have to make an exception of bankers at least. NEW DEALER.—That’s what they all say. If we can’t cut down on RFX: loans or AAA payments about the only thing left to do is to take it out of relief and public works. The Pres ident is ready now to cut down on the CCC camps and there is a lot of pressure to end PWA and to clip the we couldn’t have otherwise and they add to property values. NEW DEALER.—Apparently you dcn’t want to balance the budget. BANKER.—Indeed I do. What the Government has to do is to end all this boondoggling. If the money wasn’t wasted on a lot of foolish things there would be enough for those that are worth while. At that point in hi.s narrative': the official calls a halt. The moral, he thinks, is this: Everybody is for a balanced budget just so it isn’t balanced jectives in music. First, the members are not professionals. They were ama teurs, that is, they sang for the love of it. Second, they had disciplined themselves so that their combined singing was beautiful. Whether these people are soloists or not I don’t know. It is certain, however, that solos are of small importance to them compared with this combining of voices to which they have devoted themselves with such success. Third, they sing the music best suited to their powers, and for which they have special feelings. It was a good thing to have that stirring quartette of amateurs there as an example of what children should arrive at when they grow up. One is afraid that these childhood musical experiences are not often carried on into adulthood. Why not? Why should it not be a steady progress from singing in the 6th grade at his expense. And a budget , . , more than $3,000,000,000 out of ^ balance means sacrifices, in the form of higher taxes or in the form of curtailed services, for every class in the population. MEN'S CLUB MEETING The Baptist Men’s Club will hold its regular meeting in the Church Par lor Tuesday evening, April 14th at 7 o’clock. A supper will be served by the Gertrude Circle, price of which will be fifty cents. Entertainment and a speaker will be provided by the en tertainment committee. Sanctus” of the great B minor mass some day-—or singing in small groups as the McKelway-Gibsons do? One more comment. The boys did their part finely. But why so few boys in these groups? Do the Southern Pines boys think there is something unmasculine about singing? They should see the boys of Harvard, Yale and Princeton—boys on the crew, on the football team, on the baseball team—just as anxious to get into the Glee Club if they can. Singing is considered as much a boy’s as a girl’s business in the north- Why Gulf is the Gas for April ^ f'ASOUNE ALL READY for the Easter Parade!
