As matters stand alt the present time, no sensible reasons can be given any more why everyone should not take some real, praoticai interest in music, either as a student, a player, an organizer or a supporter. Good music, just as good leaks,'. should be -!i Donne indispensable and should be en- courage•d and developed in aecl out of the home as every other .essential of our daily life. Real interest in music is net proved by willingness to attend an occasional concert or posseeslon of - superficial knowledge of who are or` aro not the most succeed -el singers or instrum,en. tellsts of the day. Love for music and real understanding for what consti- tutes- an a11-'rouii i knowledge of music essentials must be awakened', in the minds of our future generation. The seeds must be laid in our schools and public institutions of , learning, _. our children must be taught slow and what to sing, and they should be taught en masse how to play musical instru- ments.

I am iiot a doctor, but I am told that the average man exhales only, 27 per cent. of the poisoalous gases from his lungs.

These figures may or may not be paeciseIy coareot, but ; know that if I give .hip singing' terse while I soon begin to "feel that I want • to ventilate my lungs. A Natural Desire. • ' In my opinion singing is an integ- ral ntegrail part of a main's 'healthy functions. Every child wants to sing. It i., a na- tural desire, and a child quite natural- ly prothiceo his voice oarne,etly—un- less he tries to imitate someone else. The tragedy of it is that most child- ren when they grow up either stifle this desire or develop artificial meth- ods of singing. Instead 'of ,singing aa they did in their childhood, they close their throats and hold in their breath. Nothing could be worse for them. If everyone could be persuaded to sing freely in the way that Neatiir Ori tended him or her -to do, 1 fees sure that the health of the nation vrould im- prove immensely. Classical. Words. • We have harrowed so many that it has lately been calculated that as many as one-fourth of the words which we ecu find in a; full-sized Latin dic- tionary have found their way directly or indirectly into the English vocabu lary. A Iarge number of these are Gre.ek words which the Rvmana had takenfrom them. Thus, taking into acccrant those Greek svorde which have oome to us by other cIieun els, Greeds and Latin term a very large and a very important part of the English language. All through the history of. our nation the two threadscan be seen running together. At first sight they appear to be so inextricably twisted round one another as to foals one . solid curd, but . it is not so dif- ficult to unravel them The fact, for instance, that hospital, parliament,: and prison are Latin, while churchand s,chooi haee only come through Latin frown the Greek, is symbolical of the two main divisions, into which the classical part of our language• falls; for wards which are genuinely; of Lat- in origin—unless they have to trap-.• late the thoughts of Greek wi iters- a,re very often concerned with the ma- terial outer world, but words of Greek origin are more likely to be landmarks in the world of thonghs and felings.— Owen Barfield, in "History in English Words."
