URGES MEMORY CONTESTS Mrs. Oberndorfer Points Out Advantages of Music Memory Contests in Address Recently Delivered at Meeting in Boston Boston, Mass., February 4. — That music memory contests should be started in every community of America by women's clubs was one of the declarations made at a meeting in the Museum of Fine Arts a few days ago by Mrs. Anne Faulkner Oberndorfer, of Chicago. Mrs. Oberndorfer is chairman of the music department of the General Federation of Women's Clubs, and wife of Max Oberndorfer, member of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, and through her efforts the school children of that city hear the best compositions through the frequent visits of players to the classrooms. In the course of her talk Mrs. Oberndorfer said: "Briefly, the plan is to enlist the support of the clubs, board of education, superintendent of schools, supervisor of music, newspapers and music dealers. A list of fifty good instrumental compositions is made. These selections should be available on records, player-piano rolls, and in simple piano sheet music, which the children can play themselves. Newspapers should be asked to publish the lists, and possibly a short analysis of each number. At the end of six weeks, or two months, these fifty good compositions will be known by every child and in every home in your community. Then the contest should be held, with preliminary contests in each school. Eight or ten of the compositions should be played, without programs, the children writing down the name of the composition, composer, and possibly when and where he lived, and the meaning of the selection. The twentyfive best papers should constitute the school team, and then the final contest of teams should be held in a big hall, under the auspices of the community musical interests.

'Americans have had the wrong attitude regarding music for so many years that it is difficult for us to grasp quickly the full realization of its power. As a nation we have treated music as a thing apart from, instead of a part of, our daily life. The General Federation has pledged its support to all good American music. What are we to do about it? First, we must familiarize ourselves with the music that is being used in our homes, clubs, schools, churches, Sunday schools, theatres, moving picture houses, and the music that is being advertised in our shops, magazines and newspapers. We shall be surprised; we may even be horrified with what we find, but it is time we knew." "Nameplates With a Personality'' For Manufacturers and Dealer* of Talking Machine*.
