by H. G. Fowler ‘ To find one's self in the midst of a thousand school music tea- chers and 500 eager pupils. in- cluding the “top brass” and ex- pert leaders of the profession, is to be exposed to the infectious inspiration and enthusiasm of the whole field of music education. Some of it is bound to rub off onto the most casual spectators. Such was the situation in Buf- falo during the five twelve-hour days of the Music Educators' Nat- ional Conference. Music supervisors from schools and colleges throughout eastern United States and Canada dis- cussed their common problems to- gether, exchanged ideas. absorb- ed inspiring addresses. and heard thrilling performances by school choirs, orchestras and bands. Here are some salient highlights from this portentious event: :Zfiacéem anal lgupié 54a]?

The class-room where music is an integral part of the daily rou- tine provides a happier, richer. and more interesting environ- ment in which to live and learn. Music is now an accepted com- modity in daily living. at home. at church, in stores and restaur- ants. recreation centres, and the- atres. As a daily “consumer” of music. a child should learn how to select music of lasting value to enrich his life and personal- lty. The artistic standards attained in our Canadian schools in theory, skill, and performance of music ls second to none. Only in the field of orchestras and bands are we temporarily out-paced. knowing no barriers of race or creed. Good workmanship by com. posers and performers fram all countries is acclaimed every- where. Every child has a right" to op- portunities to grow in knowledge. skill. and appreciation of the art of music. through instruction equal to that which is offered in any other school subject.
