Instruction in Music in Schools Boon To Industry New York -I1IP1I- When you plan your school shopping for the young ones today, said Paul Richards, you might find that the list includes a horn or a violin or a piano along with new shirts and shoes. Classroom openings are only a few weeks away and thousands of children from the very young up to the sen ior class age will be learning to beat, strum and tootle by platoons. The growth and im provement of school instruc tion in music, Richards ob served, has not only cased the strain on the ear drums of multitudes of parents, but has given a healthy boost to the musical instrument industry. "The high school band, for example." said the youngish looking Richards, president of Richards Musical Instruments Inc., Elkhart, Ind., "has changed in number and ap pearance even from the time when I was a boy. Large Bands Common "The average high school band at one time may have been 25 - 30 players. Now, bands of 100-120 are common. And most of them now get bet ter teaching, better supervi sion than they did 20 years ago. "Now, as then, the high school band often is the image of the school, or the commu nity." Richards, on a trip here, said he saw the growing con sumer product potential of the Common Market as a chal lenge to American musical firms to improve their pro duction techniques. "Surely, there's plenty of competition in the European markets," he said. "There are firms in Europe with a long tradition of good instrument making. But we already have shown we can sell there, and we think the American musi cal industry can do even more." For the first quarter of the scribed as "perhaps, one of the j greatest citizens of the world and as one of the three great est British geniuses, in a talk yesterday at a joint meeting of the Medford Rotary and Kiwanis clubs at Rogue Val ley Country club. The speaker was Dr. Medley J. B. Atkins, director of sur gery at Guy's hospital, Lon don, England. Dr. Atkins is in Medford as guest speaker for the third annual John Tomlin Memorial Cancer lec tures today and Thursday. Dr. Atkins classed Darwin. William Shakespeare and Sir Isaac Newton as the three greatest British geniuses. He pointed out that Darwin, after first studying to be a doctor and then to be a minister, de cided to become a naturalist and "he set the world on fire with his ideas." Evolution Theory Darwin with his theories of evolution and survival of the fittest altered the course of philosophical thinking, the speaker brought out. Dr. At kins said , that before Darwin expounded his theories and wrote "The Origin of Species the book of "Genisis" had been taken as literal and this was the state of mind of every educated man. It was Darwin, the speaker stated, who large ly broke through this and changed the thinking. The visiting hospital direc tor mentioned that others be fore Darwin had set forth the idea of survival of the fit test, but that the others did facts to support it. He added that the idea of evolution iay at the back of men's minds but that up to the time of Darwin evidence was weak. Darwin showed the idea must be true and showed t,he me chanics of it from information gathered on the round-the-world surveying expedition on the ship "Beagle." Dr. Atkins said that he and his wife came upon the house at Downs, England, where Darwin lived and wrote for 40 years and where he sat like a spider at the center of his web and was visited by great scientists. The house was run down and the property over grown with brambles. The At kins and some friends began work of rehabilitating t h house and the Atkins are go ing to live in part of it. Teachers Connot Aid Candidates Salem - ll'PII - Public school teachers are prohibited from making money contributions to candidates for public office, Atty. Gen. Robert Y. Thorn ton said today. Thornton said election laws prevent an appointed "holder of a public position or office" from making such contribu tions. Election laws permit a teacher to become a precinct committeeman, the attorney general said.
