National Federation of Music Clubs Adopts
Plans for Arousing Interest of Youngsters in
Symphony Orchestra Concerts
As a means of signifying its approval of the
young people's concerts now being given by
leading symphony orchestras in all parts of the
country, and also to stimulate attendance by the
children, the Board of Directors of the National
Federation of Music Clubs is offering prizes for
essays on the compositions heard at these con-
certs during the season of 1923-1924. It is ex-
pected that the junior clubs of the Federation,
which now number about 800, will enter actively
into the competition, but candidates for the
prizes are not restricted to membership in this
organization.
The aim of the contest is to promote musician-
ship, which in the opinion of the board is
"understanding which can be expressed." Con-
testants must be between the ages of thirteen
and eighteen, and each may write upon any
three compositions he has heard this season,
his paper to be his own impression and under-
standing of the form, history and rendition of
these numbers by the orchestra. Manuscripts
must not. exceed 500 words. They are to be
MUSIC PUBLISHERS OF CANADA
signed with a nom de plume, which must also
be written on a sealed envelope containing the
correct name and address of the contestant.
Essays should be sent to Mrs. William John
Hall, chairman of the Junior Department of
the National Federation, Musical Arts Building,
St. Louis, Mo., between the end of the concert
season and July 15. There will be three prizes,
$25, $15 and $10, respectively, and three honor-
able mentions. In some of the larger cities
local committees will weed out the papers sub-
mitted, giving prizes for the best and sending
these on to the national headquarters.
Announcement has also been made by Mrs.
Hall of a prize to be awarded to American com-
posers at the Ninth Biennial of the Federation
at Portland, Ore., in June, 1925, for a junior
production. One hundred dollars will be given
for the libretto, which must be submitted by
June 1, 1925, and the same amount for the
music. The subject is left to the writer, but
the central figure must be the Child Spirit. The
time required must not exceed thirty minutes
and the roles, with the exception of the central
figure, must not be beyond the ability of young-
people under eighteen.
Should Be No Objection
for Orchestration Charge
Popular Music Has Opened Great Field of
Profit to Musician—Popular Music Makes the
Orchestra Possible
World Famous
MCKINLEY
FIFTEEN CENT
Modern popular music has made it possible
for orchestra musicians to earn from $60 to $600
per week. The average for a musician who

MUSIC
can play several instruments is probably well
over $100. Any dance orchestra worth the name
can find bookings for each night in the week
and those of unusual importance .or popularity
are booked weeks in advance.
The decision of some of the popular publish-
ers to charge for dance orchestrations should
be most acceptable to those who make their
livelihood from playing current hits. If it were
not for the constant addition of new popular
numbers, specially arranged to favor the orches-
tra, it is doubtful whether their vogue could be
continued on the present scale. Considering
the rising costs of operating popular publishing
establishments, and the reduced sale of sheet
music, the orchestra leaders should be more
than willing to pay for orchestrations, as it is,
after all, a move to protect their interests.
