As matters stand at the present time, no seusibie reasons can be given any more why everyone should not take some real, practical interest iu music, either as a student, a inlayer, an organizer or a supporter. Good music, just as good looks, should be- come indispeneable and should be en- couraged and developed in and out of the home as every other essential of our daily life. Real interest in music is not proved by willingness to attend an occasional concert or possession of Superficial knowledge of who are or are not the most successful singers or instrumen- talists of the day. Love for music and real understanding for what consti- tutes an all-round 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 clti.ldren must be taught how and what to sing, and they should be taught en masse how to play musical instru- ments. If they aro taught and trained how to sing, play and appreciate good music, if they begin to realize that such accomplishment will increase their daily and future happiness, they will continue their efforts at Motile, and when once introduced into the in- timate home bit•cles and eucouraged and assisted by the grown Polka, the child will quickly develop a natural and lasting preference for its music.
