Remarkable Growth
of
Movement Shown By In
crease, of Participants
More than a doubling of the ex
tent of the National Music Week
n the four years of its existence
Is shown by figures just made
public by the National Music Week
Committee. These indicate that
(as of November 1) 1.614 cities
and towns participated fit the ob
servance last May. This is con
trasted with the first national
celebration, in which 7 SO towns
participated. This remarkable
growth has ' been effected not by
sensational methods, but a quiet
promulgation of the Music Week
idea and a co-operation with local
observances on the part of tha Na
tional Music Week Committee.
Previous to the synchronisation
of the various local Music Weeks,
only 150 cities or towns had ever

A reading between the lines of
the above figures, as compared
with the 150 participating com
munities before 1924, shows the
Impetus given to the movement by
the feeling of pride on the part of
the various towns in that they
were participating in a simultane
ous national festival. Even where
local conditions made it somewhat
of a hardship for a community to
adopt the national date, the week
beginning on the first Sunday In
May, such towns have felt well re
paid for falling in line with the
national plans.
Not only in numbers, but geo
graphically have the Music Week
observances made a remarkable
spread. The celebration is now
carried out not only in all of our
states, but in our territorial de
pendencies such as Hawaii, the
Philippines, Alaska and the Virgin
Islands. The Governors of those
territories have now Joined the
Governors of the various states on
the Honorary Committee for Na
tional Music Week. The move
ment has also been adopted In
Canada and South Africa. ,
There has been a rivalry among
the different states for leadership
in the different states for leader-
shin In the number of Music
Weeks. Pennsylvania has held the
lead for several years, bnt Texas
Is catching up on her, their respec
tive figures for the last observance
being 1SS and IIS communities.
Illinois Is approaching these lead
ers with 9 S participating towns.
In general, such leadership is due
not only to the size of the states.
but to energetic state-wide Music
week promotion within the states.

NAIROBI. East Africa. (AP)
Big game hunters the world
over have offered to co-operate in
erecting a monument at the spot
where William C. Judd, African
sportsman, was killed by an in
furiated bull elephant in one of
the most thrilling Jungle fights
ever recorded In the dark conti
nent.
Judd was gored to death by the
the mighty animal while hunting
with his son Jack, who finally
placed the fatal shot which
brought the beast down. In all
eleven shots were fired. The fa
mous hunter met his fate in
rlade in the Kenya bush near
Mtelto Andei.
The tragedy occurred Just prior
to the arrival of George Eastman
the kodak manufacturer of Ro
chester, N. Y., on hla way to the
Nganda country to seek wild game
tor the benefit of the camera.
Toung Judd was knocked down
by tha elephant's trunk in the
charge of the animal which also
brought his father to the ground.
"The elephant ran right over
ma," Jack Judd said in describing
tha fight. "When I regained my
feet the beast already had my
father in his trunk. The animal
then dropped my father while he
continued pummelling him with
his trunk."
Young Judd fired two shots
which took effect. This aroused
the elephant afresh and he
charged the young man.
"I fired another shot and the
elephant turned, taking hold of
my fsthef and proceeded to dash
his body about on the ground and

morial Shrine, major building of
Indiana's 114,000.000 world war
memorial plaza, is close to com
pletion. Above its great wide base, with
hundreds of steps leading up to
tha shrine itself, which looms high
in the sky, the structure maybe
seen for a great distance on a
clear day. It is located virtually
in the center of Indianapolis.
It wilt be 19Z3 before the great
plaxa, five blocks long a block
wide, la completed. The Ameri
can Legion building, one of the
nit of three structures planned
for the plaxa. has been in use for
some time. It. cost 1450.000 and
houses the national headquarters
of the Legion.
The memorial will cost $2,000,-
090. Tha tower will be a shrine
to fbxg. with ceilings 100 feet
high. In the base of the building
will be spacious meeting rooms for
patriotic organizations and an au
ditorium. Battle flags of Indiana
will be housed, on that floor and
In the basement.
The third unit of the plaxa will
be a companion structure to the
Legion building. Construction of
it will not be started until the
shrtne is finished.
The Indiana world war memor
ial was created by n act of the
state legislature in 1920. The
state provided three of the city
blocks for the plaxa and funds for
the construction of the buildings.

presented the memorial with one

year and laid out as an open
plasa, with an obelisk 9 5 feet high
in its center.
Hard en's Quest Vain
For Chat With Kaiser
BERLIN (AP). After having
carried on his relentless editorial
warfare against William II for
many years, the late Maximilian
Harden towards the end of the
world war thought the time had
come for a heart to heact talk
with the Kaiser with the object of
finding a way to avoid the ultl
mate disaster to the German fa
t norland.
On October 16, 1918 Harden tel
egraphed the Kaiser at the latter's
headquarters : "My conscience
urges me to request an interview
at the earliest possible. As every
hour now is fateful, I neither fear
a refusal nor the imputation of be
ing considered presumptious and
shall hold to account that official
who supresses this request."
Harden received the curt offi
cial reply that though the Kaiser
had taken cognizance of his dis-
patcn, nis majeBty was not in a
position to grant the desired In
terview, but that the chief of the
Imperial cabinet had been instruc
ted to receive any information

MUS FOR HELP
Parents Should Give Every

By Rollo G. Reynolds
NEW YORK, Feb. 4. (AP)-
No teacher ever lived who could
teach children alone
Even Mark Hopkins, his log and
his body lacked as an educational
institution unless both Mark and
the boy had the sympathetic un
derstandlng of those to whom
that boy belonged his dad and
his mother. Without dads and
mothers who understand, schools
hist can't be one hundred per cent

"When people understand what
you are trying to do. when they
sympathize with it, and cooperate
with you In getting it done right
then you have the thing called
'good will.' Business concerns
pay for It fabulous sums. Every
body wants it. It is a priceless
commodity in this age of working
together.
"America ha 25,000,000 boys
and girls in school. About 750,000
teachers are trying to teach them.
It's a Job to teach that many boys
and girls. I doubt if that number
of teachers can properly teach that
many boys and girls alone.
"Normally 25,000,000 children
would have 50,000,000 fathers
and mothers. If those fathers and
mothers could have a sympathetic
understanding of their job of mak
ing boys and girls into educated
men and women; if they could co
operate by doing their share in
their task. 57,250,000 teachers
might do the job as it should be
done.
The good will of fifty mlllon
people Is a tremendous force. I
believe that public schools need
that more than anything else in
the wr7ld. What is more. I be-i
Iieve tat prMin schools can have
this good will by Just going after
It. As I have indicated, good will
consists of three elements: sym

At
With the slogan, "More Musi
at
Home Sing, play and be
happy," a feature will be made of
family music-making in the Na
tional Music week on May 6-12.
In the larger towns a "Home
Night" during the Music Week is
being ' suggested for general ob
servance. In the rural sections
the plan may be adjusted to the
local conditions by making much
of the Music week observance con
sist of informal musical occasions
in the various homes. The objec
tive behind these proposals Is in
dicated by a pamphlet entitled
"Home Night in National Music
Week," which has the sub-title,
"And Music Night in the Home
Every Week," This pamphlet Is to
be obtained without charge from
the National Music Week commit
tee, 45" West 45th St.. New York
City. The purpose of these home
programs and of the entire Music
Week movement is that to a great-
or extent every week may be Mu
sic Week throughout the county.
Among the activities suggested
for Music Week In the home are
group singing, family instrumental
ensembles, the learning of new in
struments, the Inviting of neigh
bors to listening hours over the
radio, the Interchange of records
for special phonograph programs.
musical games, simplified music
memory corneals, ine toy sym
phony of rhythm orchestra, a
check up on the condition of the
musical instruments in the home
and a linking of the parents with
their children's music study. Spe
cial plans described in the book
let are those for a home sing by
radio and for programs in - the
homes by rotating groups of local
talent. The leaflet contains bib
liography of material that will
help rural families to carry out
any of these activities. During
the coming Music Week a feature
Is to be made of American music
As applied to rural sections, this
cans especially for the use of

The first public celebration ut
the birthday of George Washing
ton took place In New York in
1784, at which occasion a speui
song was sung in honor of thi
father of his country. The first
atanza was:
Americans, rejoice.
While songs employ the voico;
The thirteen stripes display
. Let trumpets sound.
In flags and streamers gay;
"Its Washington's birthday;
Let joy abound.
That was on his fifty-second
birthday, at the close of the war
for American independence. Orm
hundred forty-three birthday an
niversaries have followed and with
each succeeding year the glory of
he day grows brighter in the ap
preciation of all liberty loving
neople of the earth. No year lu4
passed by when greater reasons
;xlated than this particular year
for a clear perception of the prin
ciples for which he commanded
the patriotic armies of the col
onists. It was Guizot who first said of
him, "Washington did the two
jreatest things it is permitted to
man to attempt. He maintained
by peace the Independence of his
-ountry which he had conquered
by war. He founded a free gov;
ernment in the name of the prin
ciples of order and by re-establishing
their sway."
It is a rare thing in the most
iistant western stste, called by tha
name of Washington, to find ord
inal copies of books that were
written in praise of the first
American during his life or at t lie
time of his death. However, It i
my happy privilege to own a few
rare volumes of that period and
they assist greatly In ascertaining
the estimate of his contempo
raries. There is a small leather-bound
volume before me that was prin
ted In 1789 written in praise of
Washington and the patriots of
colonial days. It bears the title:
"Poems by Col. David Humphr!,
late aide-de-camp to his Excel
ency General Washington." The
author Is deserving of better re
cognition than Is shown him for
his genius in literature, as well as
at arms. He, for some time, was
given private apartments at
Mount Vernon and had access to
the state papers and the many re
sources of that famous seat of
patriotism. He had the highest
esteem of Washington.
His fine production "An address
to the Armies of the United
States," met with favor and was
soon translated Into French. It
would not be surprising If soma
stray copies were found and used
to cheer our boys at the front in
the late war, In the great country
of LaFayette. What a thrill would
result If the words of Washing
ton's days were more clearly
heard today by the peoples now
waging their peaceful contests fur
world liberty. The following i
worthy of today:
Yet still. Columbus, see that
choice remains.
Ignoble bondage, and inglorious
-- chains,
Or all the Joys which liberty cm
tire.
For which you dare to die. or
wish to live.
On tho drawn sword, your ooun-
try's fate depends;
Your wives, your children, par
ents, brothers, friends.
Hang on the issue of the arduous
strife. ,r '
The seqnal and even more po
pular poem was, "The Happiness
of America," and it is the most
ambitious of the author's lines, a
sample of which runs:
How long, Columbus dear! will
. - ys complain.
