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.
