ALL GREAT MEN
MUSIC LOVERS
SAYS ARTIST
Gardners and Carpenters of
Thomas Jefferson Were
Musicians.
Music Is Nut Luxury
Raising the Standard of Music
I)epends< on the Youtli of
Our Country of Today.
"From the early beginning of
civilization great men, and humble
soula have loved music," > aid Mrs.
Carl Venth in an address given in
the chapel of Texas Woman's college,
Iw iday, Oct. 0.: "Music gives a soul
to the universe, wings to the mind,
flight to the imagination, a charm
to sadness, gaety and life to every-
thing, it is the essence of order and
leads to all that is good, just and
beautiful," is the quotation from
I'lato used by Mrs. Venth in her ad-
dress. ller address follows: Music
in Plato's time was in the cradle.
And if the l.iaby Musk' could mean
so much for the Philosopher Plato,
how much more in our own time
must the full grown music of our
day means to us. Several of the
presidents of the United States have
felt' deeply about music. When
Thoijyis Jefferson was president
there was barely any music in this
country. „He was probably the b'test
musically educated man who ever
ruled in the White House. He had
no means at his disposal to engage
an orchestra from France. But he
did the next best thisg. lie brought
men from France whom he could em-
ploy in his household ffs gardeners,
carpenters, etc. But each one of
these men played an instrument, and
tjius was formed the first orchestra
in America. From such begisnings
we now have thousands ■ of splendid
orchestra players in the large cities
of the United States.
Wood row Wilson was also a musi-
cian and had a fine tenor voicc.
In his words: "The man who dis-
parages music as a luxury and non-
essential is doing the nation an
in ury." Music now more than
ever is a national need. Our own
W. C. president is the living
image of Wilson, not only in his
looks, but also in his tenor, voice
and appreciation of music. Such
men have helped to dispell the idea,
that music is not fit for a man's
life work. As you know, is our
southern and some western states,
musical appreciation is still in its
infancy. There are no symphony
orchestras, no operas, no chamber-
music o organizations. There is but
one remedy—we must learn to un-
derstand music through our own ef-
forts, through playing it if we are
able to.
mains in the
stead of amateur student, music
will be a diversion, and her greatest
mission is lost.
When the coming generation, some
of whom I am facing now, are the
standard bearers of art, with a gen-
eral fund of knowledge such as only
a college etfucation can give, maybe
this country will demand that we
have a minister of Art in tie presi-
dent's cabinet. And when that comes
a national conservatory as they have
in Europe, will naturally follow, with
free education to especially
American men and women. In cities
ike New York, Boston, Philadelphia,
Chicago, musical conditions ware on
a par with those in Europe. But
what does ;^iat mean for a country
as large as ours, with a population
of a hundred and" twenty million
people ?
Music is a deep bond between
truly musical natures. To the stu-
dent of history it is self evident how
HANDOUT BUSINESS
