a few dozen villages. It is a rich section, but the fact
that only one movie show of the intermittent kind
afforded diversion from incessant agricultural labors,
gives a fair idea of the lack of the modern spirit
there.
From the surface of things there seemed nothing
to aid in the band movement he had in mind when
he settled in one of the villages. But there was an
intense community spirit that he presumed could be
diverted to his purpose. The organization of the
first village band was the hardest job. And when
it got to playing, he used it as an example, though its
performances were woefully below standard. When
he had two men's bands, two boys' bands, and a girls'
band performing he inaugurated a competitive spirit
that eventually proved powerful for good.
At the present time he points to over twenty bands
in the scattered villages and although they are called
village bands, in every instance he made it a firm
• principle to have the members pay for their own in-
struments. It is better than letting the town form
a fund to buy the instruments to in turn loan them
to the player. In the latter case the organization
lacks cohesion, but where the members of the bands
pay for the instruments, even on slow installments,
they are more likely to continue their enthusiasms
until they master the instrument of their choice.
His method is safe in a farming community where
every family is a fixture. The plan is different from
that in forming industrial bands where the companies
usually underwrite the indebtedness to the music
dealer.
An admirable plan of the successful band promoter
alluded to is to have the bands earn their own uni-
forms. They can do this when they can make a fair
showing, and can head a parade or provide music for
some civic event. There were no labor union com-
plexities to be contended with, as there were no pro-
fessional organizations in the group of villages.
