All of these people realize what a potent in- fluence music ipay have in character building, and the question arisesâ€" "How can we ever satisfy a child's musical craving, by playing for him a simply and beautiful Minuet by Mozart, when he has been surfeited for some years with all the "over- excitement and misused syncopation of cheap and degrading jazz?".....: Jazz Has Its Place Good jazz has its placeâ€"all broad- minded musicians acknowledge thatr but vulgar jazz, enhanced by a wail* ihg saxophone and strongly accented with a JoudL drum,- is not easy to re- place with "Traumerei."

Probably the most vital piece of work ever attempted by this fast named grouprls the work accom- plished by the Music Memory con- test. Memory Contests Country-Wide Music Memory contests are being held in every wide-awake community all over thecountry, and afen prolF ably the biggest step in the direction of popularizing good music that has ever been taken.
