McDowell Club Concert Last Night f Presents Nicely Arranged Program Audience Is Highly Appreciative; Four More Concerta.This Season, I With. Christmas "Messiah" on Deoember 12 By ATJDRED BUNCH If a pleased audience Is any sign, the MacDowell club season opened auspiciously with a bal anced and varied program in or gan, piano and voice last evening at the First Presbyterian church. A good sized audience filled by 8:15 a large, fan-shaped expanse of the auditorium. 1 The Thanksgiving march of Le mare, commemorating not the Pilgrim-founded day, but the World war armistice, introduced the only out-of-town performer of the eve ning. Mr.! Becker characterized each number before giving it so that the audience was able to an ticipate the trend of each chosen theme, his part of the program taking on the form of a lecture recital. "The Sonjr of the Basket Weaver," ..the French-Canadian woman weaving her river grasses, was depicted through the medium of the organ with surprising agil ity. The little "Rosemary" en core number was. Indeed, as Mr. Becker promised, s"as nice as its name." . : i --: Miss Dorothy Pearce, as the pi anist of the evening, incidentally, gave her entire first group from MacDowell, the inspiration for the founding of not only the local but of many MacDowell clubs. The first, a delicate number, "To a of world peace will indeed have made a giant stride forward to wards that final consummation, which we all desire." i I "But in order to understand America better," the ambassador continued, "we should in the first place learn more about her in our schools. I have often heard com plaints that England is not . fair ly presented to the youth of Amer ica in American school books, but considering their importance in the world, the United States is not sufficiently studied in our schools. American geography is taught, but American history is scarcely taught at all." . ; I ; Requiring of each English school boy the reading of a short life of Washington and the prob lems of his life a similar life of Lincoln and one of Roosevelt, would, in the opinion, of . the am bassador, "bring America-' as she is as vividly as possible before the eyes of our young people." ; EQUITY RULES iLiOiiE . .
