USE OF MUSIC AS A POWER IN EDUCATION SHOULD BE MORE GENERALLY RECOGNIZED

By ROSCOE POLIN “The duty of each generation is to gather up its inheritance from the past and thus to serve the present and prepare better things for the future.”—Felicitas. The status of music In education has changed with the changing motives that control education. Tin' truism that it is an appeal to the emotional nature first, leads many to regard it as being merely recreational and incapable of possessing any influence but the production of pleasant sensation. One who seeks merely an emotional appeal will find it—he who seeks discipline for iboth heart and wind will find that, also’. Education should begin with music which includes the study of literature and gymnastics. Musical training is a more potent instrument than any other, because rhythm and harmony find their way into the inward places of the soul, on which they mightily fasten imparting grace and make the soul of him who is rightly educated graceful, or him who is illeducated ungraceful; and also because he who has received this true education of the inner being will most shrewdly perceive omissions or faults c in Art and Nature und with a true taste, while he praises and rejoices over and receives into his soul the good and becomes noble and good, he will justly blame and hate the bad. Now ,'n the days of his youth, even before he is able to know' the reason why, and when reason comes he will recognize and salute the friend with whom his education has made him long familiar. It is needless to say that education in music has power of forming the character and should, therefore, be introduced into the young. The study is suited to it, endure anything which is not sweetened by pleasure; and music has a natural sweetness. I should say that it’s soul is a harmony, rather than it possesses harmony, which is filled w'lth sweetness of melody and variety of rhythm. A good music school (the need of our. city) gives an admirable training for eye, ear, and hand, and imparts an accurate and faithful use of the senses. It is through u training of these senses to a high degree that the human race has attained all its most valuable knowledge, including the applied sciences of the last hundred years. Music is not physical training alone but Intellectual and moral training as well. It is by a wonderful coordination of the senses acting in common with the imagination and reasoning power that the great discoveries of the human mind are wrought out, and put to the use of humanity. Actually music-takes place as an education — as a means of developing the human child, of drawing out latent powers, and enabling him to make the best of himself. A musical training is a child’s birthright—though he may at present be deprived of it, nothing will more perfectly cultivate the human spirit. The value of the original “Lucy" Is not found in the canvas, in the materials used, or in the exquisite colorings; but in the original creative genius of John Hadrick, who could conceive it—a development of imagination.

FATE OF GOVT. HOUSING PLAN NOW UNCERTAIN

WASHINGTON, March 13— (ANP)—The curtain is to be rung down upon further developments in low cost housing according to interpretations of the administration’s action Friday in dismissing the test case before the United States Supreme Court which would have decided whether the government had the right to condemn land for housing purposes. The case, argument upon which was to have begun Friday, had been brought to the court from Louisville, where a local federal court had denied the government’s right to condemn property for a housing project contemplated there. Similar suits have held up housing developments in other cities, notably Chicago and De-

troit.

In Chicago landholders backed by a wealthy white organization, the Hyde Park Protective Assnhad halted plans for one of the most pretentious of the low cost programs for Negro tenants. The site located on the near south side of Chicago was opposed by the white group which it is said hopes to reclaim that district now occupied by Negroes for whites. The Chicago Title and Trust Company. powerfully politically, is said to be active in the opposition in that city also. While no official statement has been made, it is assumed that these developments already under way in Atlanta, Montgomery, Cleveland, Washington, Indianapolis, and Jacksonville will be permitted to proceed. On these, land has been bought, demolition of old buildings completed, contracts let and in most instance construction begun. In explaining the withdrawal of the suit, the Department of Justice said that “in view of the long period of delay, caused by the court proceedings, the uoney origj inally allocated has been diverted \ to other projects not involved in I litigation and where it was possible to go ahead with the work j promptly.” Bill Would Provide Funds At the same time it was made known that a new housing measure, the Wagner bill, will be introduced into the senate next week by Senator Wagner of New York. The Wagner bill will provide for government financial assistance for local housing authorities, but will carry on provision for building by the government itself. Such a program means of course that the remarkable advantage gained under the housing act, insofar as Negroes are concerned, will be lost. With state or city housing authorities in charge it will hardly ibe possible to retain the gains made under the Federal Housing Administration, so far as Negroes are concerned. The FHA has negotiated cobtracts demanding that Negroes be employed on projects designed for Negroes, both in skilled and semiskilled capacities. FHA has employed Negro architects and engineers and has committed itself to the proposition that housing developments built for Negroes shall be managed by Negroes. All in

all the housing program thus lost was regarded as the most successful New Deal venture insofar as its benefits to Negroes were concerned. The Chicago project, authorities said, will continue to lag because there is no state housing act permitting the government to loan funds in Illinois. Twenty-two States however have such statutes upon their books. It seems apparent that government attorneys realizing that they would lose the case and thus afford another rebuff for the administration preferred |o avoid a definite decision in the matter, preferring to carry on under the new housing measure to be introduced.
