The New ffovth Is fast losinc one of the cherished tradttiona of the Old Ho ilk tbe "spirituals" and unmatched harmony tn the sons' of the negro. t IndustriaJ progrces is blier-d by music enties to be ia rgrly re sponsibie for the changed condi tions amoeg the race. The lar?e piantaiiona of IHxie at one time were the homes of the aouth'c chief negro snosiciani. Tis different now. The best musicians of fhe race are to be found in the cities and centers of population. Bat many of the who hare become urban citizens have acquired , cultural attain ments which have detracted from the old-time none. Big cotton farms in the far south have be$-n,cut tip into many smaller tracts. The cotton plant er who boasted once of plows' can't be found. His negro tenants have found more profit able employment in tbe cities in tbe factories, on tbe highways, in structural work. With the scattering of farm help tbe oidea-time harmony is pass ing. One must journey far into Alabama to find negro singing which even approximates the har mony that once existed over tbe .ntire sooth. Tuakc ge Institute Is making serious effort to preserve for both tbe white and ngro ract-s the spirit of song originated by the negro. The institute has pro duced some of the finest singers. Ounng the last college year. is riee cUb presented an interpre tation of the negro songs of otn er days which was described as being as nearly perfect as repro duction could be made. Fisk and Hampton likewise "have given much thought along similar lin-s of endeavor at the instance of leaders of both races. Those who have never beard the real cotton-pa tcb harmony can scarcely appreciate the apprehen sion of music lovers that this art is about to pass. Fifty e gro--s. of varied age.
