THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW

The Part the Music Supervisors Play
in Popularizing Music in the Schools
Recent Conference of Their National Organization Held in Cincinnati Carries Important Message
to the Music Trades in All Their Branches—Over 2,000 Supervisors in Attendance
'T^HE National Conference of Music Super-
visors, which was held in Cincinnati early
in April, carries an important message to the
music trade in all its branches. This successful
gathering, like the previous annual meetings of
this important body during the past several
years, maps out an educational program that is
reflected in the business organizations of music
right now and will be for many years to come.
A resume of the subjects covered at these con-
ferences, the addresses made, and the various
activities covering every channel of musical
thought, knowledge, school work and com-
munity experience along musical lines, is
worthy of the thought and attention of every
one connected with the music industry or inter-
ested in music in any of its phases.
Watching the plans, the activities and the
results of these conferences for a season or for
a period makes the onlooker realize that no
branch or activity of the music industry or of
the allied fields can compare its work with that
of this organization of teachers. These super-
visors, who, undoubtedly, like all others in the
leaching profession, are greatly underpaid, have
a love for their work and are carrying on ener-
getic activities in behalf of music which are, to
a great extent, overlooked and hardly given any
recognition by the business organizations of the
industry. It is their work in the schools, in the
home and in the community that has resulted in
much of the newly aroused interest in music ap-
preciation and the cause of music in general
which has redounded to the benefit of those in
the manufacture of musical instruments and the
publishing of music.
Particularly interesting and important is their
work in behalf of the coming generations. This
is insurance for the future, for the music busi-
ness of the country.
Part of the work of the supervisors is mold-
ing the minds, at least musically, for coming
generations. This, their reports, activities and
plans show they are doing immeasurably well.
They command the respect of all who come in
contact with their work. They are pioneers
constantly unearthing new ways of doing things,
performing the unusual and making advance-
ments at a rapid rate. Their work is, indeed,
progress. When it is considered that plans are
carried out with very limited funds, and often
fail to get the co-operation of co-educators who,
naturally, are more interested in their own
work, the strides made are all the more remark-
able.
Over 2,0000 supervisors attended the last con-
ference. Practically every State was repre-
sented and large and small cities from all over
the country. The railroad fare, hotel bills and
other expenses of the week, which total no small
item, are all paid by the individuals. So such a
large attendance bespeaks enthusiasm.

Charles Tobias Engaged
Schertzinger Song a Hit
The announcement of the engagement of Edna
Gladstone, former advertising manager for
music publishing houses, and Charles Tobias,
head of the firm of Breau & Tobias, has been
made. Miss Gladstone, in addition to her adver-
tising work, has written the music for several
songs, including a waltz entitled "Baby Clothes."
Mr. Tobias, in addition to his publishing activ-
ities, is a well-known vaudeville and radio
artist.
"Love Has a Way," the theme melody for
Mary Pickford's new play, "Dorothy Vernon
of Haddon Hall," is a hit outside of the picture
tie-up. Paul "Whiteman has just recorded it for
the Victor records and Harold Flammer has
just contracted with a German publisher for
the publication abroad. Mr. Flammer is ex-
pecting a cable from England which will con-
firm an agreement for publication there. Aus-
tralia has not yet been settled upon.
