Tbo Civic Music League, of Dayton, 0., arc taking steps to rcBtorc the music depart- ment of their library, wheh was recently de- stroyed by the fire. All publishers are In- vited lo send a complete set of their num- bers and due credit will be given. The fol- lowing tells the story: In the flood disaster of 1913 which en- gulfed the homes of 85,000 people, the Day- Jon Public Library lost :be greater part of lis valuable munlc collection, comprising both literature and scores. Books, mtitle and mu- sical Instruments that can never be replaced were swept out of existence In a few hours, The only hope of hundreds of students and music lovers is a general lending collection of music at the Public Library. But tho Library Is limited In funds, and must meet largely Increased demands in many other di- rections. Hence, beyond a moderate expendi- ture for books of general Interest In the literature of music, nothing of direct help to students and musicians can be afforded. Tiie musical Interests of the t-lty are evi- denced by the fact that twenty-1 wo muslcnl orgnnlzntlons, comprising a membership of oyer 1,000 musicians, have combined In a t.ivic Music League, whose purpose is to Ert concerts at cost and also free concerts local talent in churches, schools and pub- j auditoriums. Aside from :iie aesthetic and recreational value of this movement, it has greatly stimulated the study -of rauBlc ai the city, and the dearth of musical ma- jcrini due to our flood losses Is more than ever apparent.
