CONCERNING MUSIC
By C. A. DAVIDSON
(Director of Music for Salem Schools)
An Interview With Mr. Wltncrspoon.
The following paragraphs are from
an interview with Mr. Witherspoon.
lh .noted basso and- teacher, of -New
York. ; .
There l no country In the world
where the standard of appreciation is
as hip a as in the United States, espec
ially In music. I make this statement
absolutely without reservation. Every-,
body knows that European opera hou
ses will stand for singers tliat we do
not tolerate. I have seen such a tre
mendous change take place in America
in the last .25 years that I have been
before the public, where there was one
engagement for a singer in my earlyl
days, there are now at least 100. '
There Is no doubt that the best fe
male voice In the world is the Ameri
can voice. I speak of the singers now
before the public. . ,.. 1
As yet the American man has not'
taken up music aa be takes upj metfl
elne or law or banking. Not yet does
the American father consider music
the profession' for his son. He loses
sight, does this same American father
that the men, and there are not a few
of them, who are making big Inconieh
as singers, would probably have made
very small ones as lawyers, etc.
There is no question that we have
set the standard of what is good sing
ing. We do not hiss singers off the
stage nor yell "antipatica," but we get
rid of the "lemons" Just as effectively
and Just as finally.
It Is In America that students will
find the best environments for work.
Where the standard is, Is the place for
study. The rush to Europe for a mu
sical education, is a thing of the past,
Just as it Is for a medical education.
The tide is turned the other way.
That is one reason that teachers
should get together ns doctors do and
exchange ideas. The physicians may
not always believe all that the other
fellows say, but they do listen, and
they do hang together. Muslcluns don't,
singer in particular. There is someth
ing curious that happens to people
who possess voices, some hypertrophy
of the ego thut gives them a self-suf
ficiency beyond that of any other profession.

A new school has been opened is
New York -where -volunteer song lead
ers and accompanied for community
work may receive free training.' This
is the third of its. kind to date, and a
good enrollment la reported.
Caruso will go to Havana next May.,
It is his first visit to this new oasis,
and he has .signed a contract for 1
performances at $10,000 each. This is
$3000 more than he received in Mexico
last fall, and hisfe was then said tcj
be the highest ever paid a singer. .
Speaking of high fs for muieeians,
Josef Hoffman's piano recital In Car
negie hall. New York, last month drew
receipts of 16,388. ThU established a.
new record for pianists in New York.-
Already people are beginning to tire
of -the acrobatic wails and snorts of
the jass trombone, and an effort has
been made in- Boston to place a limit
beyond which a player may or may not
go without 'being fined. An agreement
to this effect has been reached by the
theater manager and the union.
Some years ago the noted pianist,
von Bulow, said a pianist should have
a repertoire of at least 200 pieces. In
his day not many could measure up
lo this standard. -tNow a California
pianist Olga Bteeb, who is appearing in
the east, has a repertoire of over 1000
pieces.

Bethel, Or- Mar. . A basket so
cial, which was a great success from
start to finish, was held nt the Bethel
school house, five miles east of Salem.
Friday evening. February 27.
The play by the school entitled, "A
Perplexing Situation." was well given,
reflecting much credit on the teacner,
and was greatly enjoyed as was also
the music rendered by .Mr. Bressler
and Mr. Flelgal.
A good auctioneer (Mr. Will Tayloi
of Caleay) and a crowd of young men
who were not afraid to "bid up", made
the basket selling exciting as well as
profitable. '
Not one of the nineteen baskets sold
for less than a dollar and the oiie be
longing to Miss Sammons. went for
$12.
Sixty-nine dollars was the sum real
ized from the sale of baskets and home
made candy. -
The proceeds go to buy a clock and
other things for the school.
