CHANCE FOR AMERICAN COMPORERS
American Academy at Rome Provides Scholar-
ships in Musical Composition
DOES THIS APPLY
TO YOU ?
Every Century Art. in nine of America's Big-
sent Magazines tells the renders to "go to their
dealer for "CKNTIBY," and "If the dealer
cannot supply it—WE WILL."
Many are sending to us for "Century Music,"
claiming "Their dealer did not have in stock
the copies they wished." We don't like that,
as we want you to get the business.
For your own protection against loss in
profit* and disappointment to your customers,
it would he well to lay in a good supply of
the better selling Century numbers.
Asking your trade to wait till you order
what they wish encourages them to look else-
where for "better Service."

Has "The Great American Composer" been
given a fair chance to achieve fame? In future
those who aspire to such high places are going
to be helped along the way, for the American
Academy at Rome has recently established
fellowships in musical composition, providing
for residence and study for three years in Paris
and Rome, says the New York Sun. The French
Government has agreed to co-operate by grant-
ing free tuition to the holder of the fellowship
at the Paris Conservatory. Traveling expenses
through Europe will be included in the fellow-
ship, and all facilities will be provided for pri-
vate study and research in Rome.
Prof. Felix Lemond, who is well known as an
organist, a musical authority and an organizer
of army Red Cross work, will soon go to Rome
with W. R. Spalding, professor of music at
Harvard, for the purpose of organizing the
fellowship. Mr. Lamond believes that we must
soon produce a great American composer.
"A country is musical or not musical," hi
said, "in accordance with the musical ideas it
creates, not for what it listens to. What are wo
doing for creative work in music? Sitting in
our opera boxes for one thing, listening mostly
to foreign music! We should have our own
opera and orchestra in every large city, formed
by our own artists, playing works by dur own
composers.
"So the American Academy purposes to in-
stitute a national competition among our promis-
ing young composers. They will be invited to
send in works, which will be submitted to a
national jury. It will consist of W. R. Spalding,
professor of music at Harvard; Owen Wister.
the writer, who is also a musician; Frederick K.
Stock, conductor of the Chicago Orchestra;
John Alden Carpenter, the composer; Leopold
Stokowski, conductor of the Philadelphia Or-
chestra, and E. Burlingham Hill, composer.
"The successful candidate for the fellowship
will have the option of spending one or two
years in Paris—the French Government has
offered free tuition at the Paris Conservatoire.
He will then be taken to Rome and begin h
work there by a study of its wonderful musical
libraries and manuscripts."
FORSTER OFFICES IN NEW YORK
F. J. A. Forster, well-known music publisher
of Chicago, 111., has opened up New York of-
fices in the Astor Theatre Building. It is un-
derstood that the present quarters in New York
are only temporary. Space in the music pub-
lishing district is at present at a premium, but
it is understood just as soon as the Forster
organization are able to acquire more com-
modious quarters they will move.
