This department is designed to advance the sales
of sheet music, and give any current information in
the Sheet Music Trade.
This publication believes that Sheet Music will
pay the dealer, just as any other commodity pays
those who merchandise it properly.
The conductor of this department will review
any numbers that are sent in for the purpose. It is
not the intent to criticise, but to review these offer-
ings, giving particular information of the theme and
a description of the musical setting of the number
discussed.

Sheet Music, Roll and Record Departments Among
the Topics Discussed in Chicago.
Music departments, roll and record loan depart-
ments were among the topics discussed last week at
the mid-Winter meetings of. the American Library
Association in the Hotel Sherman, Chicago, Carl B.
Roden, librarian Chicago Public Library presided at
a session which dealt with the standardization of
library service.
Close to one thousand libraries in the United
States have music sections of some sort, the state of
Massachusetts coming first with 343 collections.
New York state is second with 104 libraries with mu-
sic sections. Only seven libraries have regularly con-
stituted roll and record sections. Lack of appropria-
tions for music sections prevent the spread of the
music service in the libraries.
Miss Horine, librarian of the Springfield public
library pronounces the player roll department estab-
lished early this year a success. Some of the music
rolls were purchased and the rest donated. The
stock is card catalogued and issued for a two weeks'
period.
wouldn't rather hear a good male quartet produce
close harmony in The Old Oaken Bucket than hear
Mary Garden sing Thais.
If one could just listen to the male quartet old-
oaken-bucketing and see Mary's back at the same
time, nothing more would be desired.
Hardly anything could be finer than Juanita sounds
to a drunk who is singing it.
Rachmaninoff is the only pianist who can simul-
taneously wear a prison haircut and make a crowd
listen willingly to piano solos.
Little German bands formerly made the worst mu-
sic, but modern jazz has them badly abraded.
I know very little about music—almost little
enough to be a New York critic.
"De bottom ob de flouah barrel makes mighty po'
music," Uncle Eph says.
A resolution favoring the foundation and mainte-
nance of a national conservatory of music by the
United States Government was passed at the forty-
fourth annual convention of the Music Teachers' Na-
tional Association, at the Hotel Pennsylvania, last
week.
Dr. Leonard McWhood of the music department
of Dartmouth College, sponsor of the motion, in-
cluded in it a proposal to have a committee appointed
to aid in the promotion of such an institution.
The following were elected members of the Execu-
tive Committee of the association: Charles D. Boyd,
of Pittsburgh, James D. Price, of Connecticut, and
Frederick Holmberg, of Oklahoma.

Grumbled and sang, and so the day

Turned in tranquillity away.

STRICK GILLILAN ON MUSIC

at the well known human race when he says:
"Music is divided into two classes: The kind every-
body likes to hear and the kind it is fashionable to
pretend you like." Then he proceeds as follows;
Anybody can like musical music, but it takes edu-

Bill Nye said he had been given to understand
Wagner's music was a great deal better than it
sounded.
