Last evening I heard an article. Musical critics . have . sung her praises as a mistress of technique; nervous power; ability to make her instrument vibrate to her per. sonality. It is from another angle from which I want my fellow citi zens of Salem to consider the gen- lus in our midst, v . We are boastful of many things but many as yet have not learned to appreciate the. greatset treas ures we possess, an Europe hun dreds of years of experience has taught the nations to preserve and . cherish sainters. sculptor. writers, orators, musicians. It Is about time we. too. learned the worth of these qualities In our civic and national life. Miss Byrd and others like her should mean a lot to us. Men and women who have civic pride and consciousness of social responsi bility should make it possible tor all of our children in Salem to enjoy such an artist. . that; they might have a sense of pride In tne artistic contribution of this city. For a city of the size of Salem it is really surprising how many men and women of ability ire possess in the realm of music, art and literature, and it is my hope that our people be not 'like the inhab itants of Jerusalem over wnom Jesus went. . The MaeDowell club should be congratulated for their own part Ii last night's program, and we should be grateful to it that xe have been enabled to listen to a oianist who would be a glorious gem in the artistic crown of any nation.
