Among' the First Four Fundamentals of Our Juife
Music Stands Fourth
By MAKK P. CAMPBELL, Pres't Nat'l Ass'n I'iano Mfra.
Among the first four fundamentals of life music stands fourth ? food
first, then sheUej;, (hen clothing, then music. The war proved that wai
necessarily reduces life to iis barest elements, To make fighters out oi
rneij, they must he fed, dressed, quartered and kept cheerful, mentally
alert, quick-witted. There's where music ciune in. Marches to take de
parting troops down l'iftji avenuu, .to keep them cheered up on the trans
ports, to send them singing toward the front, and to brace them up after
the grilling hell of the trenches. Soldiers Will fpllow the command of the
bugle note where a shouted word would die on the officer's lips.
Splendid work is being done today by that department of the TTnitcd
States Chamber of Commerce known as the bureau for the advancement
of music. Through tlijs bureau 201) American cities have no* huld and
enjoyed music weeks, and now, so important has this work become, Music
week hereafter will be a nationpl alVair. In May of each year national
Music week will be observed in every city and UKvn in the country.
Music, in my opinion., as a force, for human welfare is next to tht
Gospel itself.
