"But it must be remembered that the all-important factor is the purchasing power, and purchasing power, in so far as it relates to a great extent on the standard of living which prevails in this country. Our standard of living must be maintained, and we are present is no time to undertake drastic and doubled experiments which may even conceivably result in breaking our ties to which we have been accustomed.

Famous Violinist Believes Americans Will 'Arrive'in the World of Music
“If there's one thing that makes a Hell on earth, that's it,” Albert Speckled chuckled as he referred to the jazz blaring forth from the radio in the club. “It’s my personal opinion.” he added, and his penetrating black eyes sparkled.
However, he believes that Americans will make a place for themselves in the world of music. "Americans will arent going to write what their rating is going to be and begin to think of their productions. They have been prominent in other fields," he says. In literature, in painting, in architecture and in sculpture. There's no reason why they shouldn't rate in music if they shouldn't rate in how they rate for a little while."

Mr Spalding seemed reticent on affairs of student life. He is inclined to thinks that self-supporting students

Discusses Future of American Music
FOUR PAGES
"It is only natural for man to turn to those primitive things of which he is more familiar, the former modes of country alone. In this way, I have done my work with British music expression, and so it is, that Professor Skilton in his book *Making America Turned into its familiar type*, Percy Gretsch pressed himself this morning when asked of the future of American music in our own primitive native tongue.
Mr. Grainger continued to say that the best men of music characterization today are turning to that primitive instrument, a cello, so much in a thousand years. Mr. Grainger frequently referred to the equal skill and the weaving together of these instruments and parched it to the technical skill present in music composition. It is the technical power of expression through an art technique from time to time, he believes.
"I do not believe in conventionalized art. There is no end to art. We cannot believe it." Mr. Browne reached the patent and say that we have reached the end of art. This art is created by a machine.
When queried of the future development and present status of American music in particular, the Granger and Gershwin had done wonderfully well. Inmedially he turned to the subject of jazz. "Jazz has a function," he continued, "and it is the highest tacit degree of skill. It has a great valence and fills a real natural need. All forms of man and nature."
