J.m Mr. and Mrs. Donald Joseph Ryan World Music Bank Plan Developed by Conductor New York The American Symphony Orchestra league has received a grant from the Rockefeller Foundation in the amount of $6,450, enabling the league .to take the first steps in developing a project designed to encourage inter national knowledge and per formance of contemporary music through establishment of a "World Music Bank". Igor Buketoff, conductor of the Fort Wayne Philharmonic orchestra, developed the World Music Bank plan and brought it to the attention of the League and the Rockefel ler foundation. Basically, the Music Bank will operate in the following manner: Dis tinguished juries in each par ticipating country will select a small list of symphonic works which they feel can serve as a fitting introduction of their country's music to potential listeners and per formers in other parts of the world. Copies of scores and recordings of works so select ed will be deposited in each of the duplicate branches of the World Music bank. Con ductors, composers, educa tors and critics will be able to borrow materials from the bank for study' purposes with an eye toward ultimate per formance. The jury which will select the 1957-58 deposits of Ameri can music includes Alfred Frankenstein, music critic, San Francisco Chronicle, and the following leading Ameri can composers: Aaron Cop land, Howard Hanson, Peter Mennin, Walter Piston, Wil liam Schumann and Roger Sessions. The national office of the American Symphony Orches tra league in Charleston, W.Va., has been designated as the United States headquar ters for the World Music bank. Scores and recording of the United States deposits for 1957-58 will be available for loan about the first of December. First Branch The first foreign branch of the World Music bank will be established iii Scandinavia, and will include deposits of contemporary music from Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden. Juries from each of these countries are now being organized for selection of the 1957-58 music deposits by each country. Copies of records and scores of the United States deposits will be presented to the Scandinavian branch of the World Music bank. In like manner, scores and records of the works of the Scandinavian composers will be deposited in the Unit ed States branch. Mr. Buketoff stated that the idea of a "World Music Bank" developed last winter- while he was touring Europe and appearing as a guest conduc tor in Scandinavia. In each country he sought counsel and advice from leading conduc tors, composers and critics on the contemporary music of their own country which they recommended for U.S. audi ences. He found an extensive reciprocal interest in informa tion concerning American compositions which would represent significant Ameri can contemporary music. "We were all asking the same questions of each other: 'We want to know the music of your country but we want to meet you through your bet ter works. How can we know what they are and where to obtain scores and recordings for study purposes?' Then, of course, came the arduous task of exchanging the necessary i d e A t i fying information of names and addresses of pub lishers, recording companies, etc. "It soon became obvious that these exchanges could be made very easy if an Ameri can conductor could simply write some central depository in the' United States asking that there be sent to him the scores and records of the rec ommended contemporary Bel gian composers, or the Afri can composers, or of the Japa nese composers: or if a con ductor in Japan could call a depository in Japan and ask for the loan of the deposits of the French composers or the American composers. Plan Explained "We decided that we must have a World Music Bank," continued Buketoff. "We can start gradually first select ing the American works, then asking a few other countries to participate by choosing a small list of their finest con temporary writing. Deposits will be exchanged between these countries, and then be tween others as the participa tion widens. Inasmuch as it is planned to change juries and re-evaluate the lists every year or two, more composers and additional works will be added gradually to the Music Bank deposits." The Music Bank plan has reviewed with many leading critics, composers and con ductors in several countries. Most of them feel it will be of tremendous help in encour aging international perform ances of and interest in con temporary music of all par ticipating countries. Announcement of the Amer ican works to be selected for the 1957-58 World Music Bank deposits will be made shortly according to Mrs. Helen M. Thompson, execu tive secretary of the Ameri can Symphony Orchestra league.

Jackson County Leader In Parent Education Effort Techniques in group dy namics were the main subject of discussion at a meeting of community parent education leaders January 23 in the county school superintendent's conference room. Dr. Ray Lowe', associate professor of education at the University of Oregon, Eugene told the lead ers that Jackson county is the only area of the state where a concerted effort is being made in parent education. He considers parenthood one of the most specific arts of our complex world, yet, the one for which compartively little preparation and train ing are available. Compliance with marriage law require ments and the advent of be coming a parent do not quali fy one for being an effective parent, Dr. Lowe commented. In community parent educa tion groups, parents may con sider and discuss attitudes and behavior of children of a cer tain age, and share the bene fits of resource material as well as one another's experi ence and approach to the per sonality traits of these chil dren. Parent-teacher association activities and programs are geared to parent-educated pur poses. Too often, Dr. Lowe said, parents come to a PTA meeting expecting to be enter tained rather than expecting to share an educational ex perience. Neighborhood par ent education study groups are an attempt at an intel ligent approach to parent hood, he copcluded. Dr. Lowe, who teaches classes at the University of Oregon in human develop ment, guidance and counsel ling met with the Jackson County Mental Health com mittee in the Public Health department at noon. Rev. Thomas McCamant, chairman, said the group has been study ing the need of family counsel ling for Jackson County. Their report has been com pleted and is now to be re viewed by the Southern Ore gon Child Guidance clinic ex ecutive board. A group representing the field of education, health as sociation, parent-teacher as sociation, ministerial associ ation, Southern Oregon col lege personnel and the Child Guidance clinic, met with Dr. Lowe in the evening to con sider the feasibility of a con ference in family life relations for this region. Such confer ences have proved worthwhile endeavors in many areas of the northwest, it was reported by those who have attended in recent years. Inquiries are being sent to leaders of this field for information on re source material and person nel that may be available to the group for the proposed conference. There will be another meeting of this group within the next two months, according to Mrs. Henry Padg ham, who conducted the meeting.
