CANNED MUSIC
HASN'T KILLED
REAL ARTICLE
Proving that mechanical ma
sic has not completely elbowed
real music out of the lives of tbe
masses are the harmonica bands
that have been organised In 25
percent of the schools all over
tha county. According to Airs,
C A. Henderson, supervisor ot
music in lb county schools, the
children sre most enthusiastic
over this new departure In the
realm ot music In the country
district the "harmonica band
consist ot th whole school, and
all the pupils feel the Joy of
expressing themselves In music,
The American Feduratlon of
Music has recently sunt out
plea for more "real" music in
the Uvea of American people.
It Is feared that the art ot mu
sic will die since mechanical mu
sic Is displacing orchestras to
such an extent in theatres,
dances and at other public gath
erings. Music la pictured as the
"Weeping Muse." but also, the
American Federation ot Music
says that ths progress ot music
depends upon tho number of en
thusiastic executants. If enthus
iasm counts, the children in the
"Harmonica Bands'" will not let
the Weeping Muse expire.
In ths 1- gradci of all the
country schools toy orchestras
have been formed by Mrs. 'len
derson. Surely America will be
come more "music minded" If
this activity is continued all over
