Realm Music By Lucien H. White Negro Folk Song Analysed For Londoners by Violinist Outward Round" is a handsomely printed 82 page illustrated pnnthly mnsnzinc, printed at 2 aton Gate, London, S. 1., and jts contributors include such distinguished writers as John Drink Alfred Noyes, Basil Matthews, who is its editor, and other literati. The issue for May, 1921, adds to this coterie thf namr of Clarence Cameron White of Boston, whose name lithrrM has been best known as being synonymous with musical inurement. But, too, there have been evidences of literary attain rtnt of a high order in various articles contributed by Mr.

White to musical journals in the United States, and more recently in his work as publisher and editor of "The Encore," a little monthly jjsued as organ of the S. Coleridge Taylor Association of Boston. In the article appearing in Outward Bound, under the caption, "The Mumc of the American Negro," Mr. White presents an inter upon the general character of folk music, with jifciiic reference to Negro folk song. The Bohemian musician, Pvorak, brought to America to establish a national school of music or the particular study of native music, aroused much antagonistic rnrnmrnt when he declared, after several months investigation, that the mly distinctive national American music was the music of the American Negro.

His "New World Symphony." written after this investigation, is based largely on Negro idioms. Citing this fact, White says that when the Symphony was first presented in New Vnrl under Dvorak's, personal direction, it aroused such a bitter controversy that the composer returned to Europe, "quite disgusted ith American ideas and Ideals. Averting that "Folk Songs" are ex of the individual emotions and 'hMt characteristic peculiarities ot tot people with whom they originate, ir.il that in most European countries it is amnc the working classes, the inisins and the field hands that one lvk fnr the genuine national mu the violinUt writer expresses him fti as fellows "So it is in America we find even tiay toe rtal characterisf'c music of the Negro among the plantations of the South, where the Negroes in large iv.mhers are the laborers. It may be arf j.ii that the tru value of these iwWIim to the American musician is not so much their use f.S a basis for the soc.illed national music of Amtn.a as it is for their value as an historic phase of American life. These sonKi are a unique contribution to American mu'ical history, a most remarkab'it con.ribution, for pre sint a new quality of folk songs different in nearly every 'ay from any other fell songs In the woiid.

to tne present time both the Negro folk music and 'rhythms have been the most characteristic things that America has had to offer." Th.n foliows an intimate study of Neiro folk song, showing' that each tun" its particular ype of musi tal enuring, with distinctive, though C't differences due to atmos tere ar.ft environment. To quote from 1 v. 1. 41 IK 'r, juai as WC niusll Ul llic tirive African reflect a more or less mr'ial spirit, so the music of the Amer pn slave showed the melancholy of Ihi.r immediate environment." Contain, the writer "The one outstanding characteristic ef both the "spirituals" and "labor is that they nearly always chronicle everts, or emotions. A' iish the Nrg music of both Af ami America is essentially spon tAn oiis, it wis in Africa nearly al jy, used fur the wa' dance, fun erjls and wedding festivities.

In Anvrua it is the outcome of the under the slave lived a ri iborrd The plantation songs er "spirituals" were the spontaneous ej'l ursti of religious fervor, and were t'f slaves' own interpretation of the fi rit.tur' as prcihce to them by their rtlicious leaders. The frs tice of selling slaves from om pin of the South to another accounts) the sinRing of the sr.me songs in vastly different state, and for slight in both words and music. It been noticed that the song 'rieinat in Virginia and adjacent Kites where slaves changed masters lt frequently, are i a large degree richer and more joyful in tone ft those originating geographically lower South where tbe yoke of slav ry was more opprcsisve. Such songs 'cre 'adder in tone and buoy nt." The or pin and application of several r.r are told, with an explanation tt to iv it was possible for the slas'cs, "i read tn toll and understand servants, accompanying their masters to church, and sitting in tli church galleries, and other slaves congregating outside the church windows and doors caught the messages and with kstonish ing memories carried them cack whole or in part to the plantation meeting. The physical actions which accompany many of the songs, such as dapping of hands and walking about, are attributed to the possibl: influence of sued Bible stories as marching around the walls of Jericho, and Miriam leading the cymbal players.

It it pointed out that such stories termed a great part of the early NegTo sermons and that the clapping of hands was prob ably an imitation of the cymbals used in religious services of Biblical days or an outgrowth of the emotional characteristics of the race. This mode of worship, however, beinj discouraged by the intelligent modern ministry, is rapidly dying out. It is cited as a fact t'tat ny of the colored churches nowadays have splendid choirs, some with paid quartets, showing cultivated voices or the "full throated c.itrained voice" under the leadership of trained choin asters. Catling attentio to the correct "placing" ot Negro voices, Mr. White pays a deserved and timely compliment to the work of Mme.

Hackley in the follownig paragraph: "It is to be noted that the Negro voire is in many instances correctly "placed" in both speaking and singing. This fact is easily recognized by musicians who have heard large choruses of the "Folk Song Festi als" held in different parts of the llnited States under the direction of Mme. E. Alalia Hackley, a well known singer who was for a considerable period a pupil of Jean de Resike in Paris. Madame Hackley has practically given up her career as a soloist to devote her time and energies to keep alivei 1 ese folksongs among her people" Then follows an analysis of the con strucion of the Negro folk song, showing that the musical form is complete, each musical idea having the proper number of measures 'cording to the rules of musical form.

Tt 'act shows primarily the Negro's fine sense of rhythm. This point is usuall, over look.d in discussing these folk songs, and since strong rhythms seem to be characteristic of Negro music it is well to study this feature closely." Mr. White quotes from a number of the "spirituals," illustrating various 'characteristics, sense of rhyme enveloped through poetic te; ncies, interpretation of Bible stories and allegories, power of imagination, and musical values. He writes "I have quoted at length to show how completely tbe spiritual tells the Bible story and to show what a deenlv rclidious nature the slave must have had to put together such a strong and soul stirring story verse. Ot course one would not expect to find wonderful poets among an illiterate people, but it is doubtful if there it a parallel in alt history where a slave people who were unable to read or write came so near to expressing thoughts and impressions a mo poetic manner.

MUSIC NOTES. The Oakland (Calif.) Siin.nint of ulv 2nd has the (ollnwins itrm on its front page: Mme. Hackley Found Unconscious. ''Mme. Hackley was found unconscious in her apartments in San Diego last week.

Mrs. Hackley was suffering from nervous breakdown, having worked very hard in her efforts to put on a song festival. The NfoiDi and her nu.iy friends wish her speedy recovery." This information will bring regret to many readers of The Age. Mme. Hackley is an outstanding ngure in the race's musical development, and the value of her work among the masses of the people cannot be computed.

It is sincerely to be hoped that her indisposition will temporary in its duration and that even now she may be well on the way to complete restoration of vigor and strength. The 1921 session of the National As sociation of Negro Musicians wilt be held in Nashville, July 26. 27 and 28. H. P.

HUBERT Director vf Agriculture, Tusktgei Institute. Tuskegee Institute, Ala. When Booker T. Washington founded Tuskegee Institute in 1881, here in the heart of the South, he had in mind the fundamental need of this section of the country. He realized the importance of farming and the dependence of all peoples everyv here upon the products of the soil.

He emphasized the great need of putting brains in farming and in farm lite. He established at Tuskegee along with other industries, a School of Agriculture and thereby made it possible for men and women to acquire a workable knowledge of science and art of good farming. Following out this idea of its founder, Tuskegee Institute, under its present head, Kobert R. Moton, has striven to enlarge and enrich its agricultural plant in order that Tuskegee, through its Department of Agriculture, might better serve the needs of the Negro race and the Nation. We have just witnessed the comple tion of a thoroughly modern, brick dairy barn with a capacity of nearly one hundred cows; a horse barn that will provide shelter fnr eighty horses; and a veterinary hospital where animals belonging to the school and the community are treated.

Other improvements, such as modern poultry houses, new iKg houses, agriculture ad floricul rural buildings are being nude. The agricultural faculty is made up of men and women who have had superior training, both in practical farming and in technical or scientific research, in the best agricultural colleges in America. Secondary and Advanced Conrset, Tuskegre provides a four year course in secondary agriculture and an advanced course of four eyars above the secondary or high school course. The boys and girls are taken into the agricultural laboratories and there taught the fundamental laws underlying plant and animal production; from here they are taken to the outside and practical application of laws of plant and animal life is made. When a student has completed the course in agriculture, he has done practical work for at least six' months In the truck garden, swine herd, horse barn, dairy barn and creamery, veterinary hospital, poultry plant and farm crops divisions, and he has thus been made to feel confident of hit ability, because ne Has done tnc job of good farming; and the school does not hesitate to rec commend him as a practical tVrtv farm manager, farm demonstration agrit, or as a teacher of agriculture.

By enriching and enlarges her course in agriculture, Tuskegee offers to men and women who have finished high school and college work, an excellent opportunity to gain scientific know'edge about the things worth wh at a reasonable cost. Our agricultural chemistry, farm crops, agronomy, 'entomology, botany and soils laboratories are being fitted up in order that we might provide for this increasingly large number of students in agriculture. Good farming underlies all national and racial advancement. Tuskegee, in training leaders in agriculture and son and Miss Ethel May Woods, Mr. and Mrs.

Never before in the history of the world, was there a more imperative demand for leadership in ural life. There is a cry fur progressive leadership in production in order that mm may he able to dig out of the toil the things necessary for the subsistence of themselves and their fellow workers urban centers. There is a cry for leadership in other rural problems, such as marketing, so that the farmer will be able to obtain a fair share of the market price of his products, improvement of communications good roads so that there will be no handicap to travel; the lietterment of social life by redirection of the rural school and church so that they will become live centers around which may be built, permanent happy and contented community life.

FIBST CLASS SERVICE. OPEN MAY. 28, TO OCT The Darkest Chapter of Englands History Old Australian CONVICT SHIP Drops Anchor in New York Harbor "SUCCESS," OLDEST VESSEL AFLOAT, IS OPEN FOR PUBLIC INSPECTION FOOT OF WEST 129th STREET, NEAR FORT LEE FERRY THIS WONDERFUL VESSEL HAS MADE HISTORY THROUGH THREE CENTURIES 71 She marked the beginning and the end of England'! monstroui penal system. She has held lurid horror and dreadful Iniquities beside which even the terrible stories of the Black Hole of Calcutta and the Spanish Inquisition pale into insignificance. She is the oldest ship in the world and the only convict ship left afloat out of that dreadful "Fleet of Ocean Hells' which sailed the seven Seas in 1790 A.

D. She is unchanged aifter all these years, nothing being omitted but her human freight and their sufferings from the cruelties and barbarities practiced upon them. Aboard her are now shown, in their original statev all the airless dungeons and condemned cells, the whipping post, the manacles, the branding irons, the punishment balls, the leaden tipped cato' nine tails, the coffin bath and the other fiendish inventions of man's brutality to hit fellow man From keel to topmast she cries aloud the greatest lesson the world hat ever known in the history of human progress. THE OPINION OF THE PRESS On May 1913, the distinguished editor of New York American, in a full page editorial, which was reproduced in ten other leading daily papers throughout the slates, devoted his brilliant pen to a picture of the Convict Ship "Success" as a vivid and striking lesson in the progress of humanity and civilization. Describing the Convict Ship as a sad but valuable lesson to the people of America, he wrote "When you study these scenes of cruelty and atrocious torture, when you realize they have disappeared forever from this earth, except in isolated savage corners of the world, where men revert to animalism, and when you realize that these scenes of cruelly, brutal as they are, were as nothing compared with what preceded them, you realize that this world DDES, advance.

It shows what government did to the poor, the ignorant, the helpless. We can thank God that the Convict Ship, with the men tortured and branded, is to day an exhibition intended to educate and no longer a dreadful reality, planned to. punish and brutalize." DR FRANK CRANE, the 'brilliant editorial writer of THE NEW YORK GLOBE, in a leading article in that paper, dated May 3, 1913, said: Here you see punishment raised to its highest power. The record of the cruelties here practised by the English people is so frightful that no one can be blamed for not believing it; the truth is more incredible than the wildest fiction. It is impossible to believe the atory, yet it is perfectly authentic.

"Out of the past this ghost ship sails to us. Its solid oak we can touch. Its rusty iron manacles are all too tangible. Its hideout cells our feet may explore. Its appalling record, books and documents we can see with our own eyes." NEW YORK EVENING SUN, April 23, 1912 "One of the strangest ships in the world a strange ship because it is hard to realize that the inhumanity of which she is a floating reminder could exist under the rule of any nation calling itself civilized." BOSTON TRAVELER, June 16, 1912 "The Success to day Is as the hulks they (John Boyle O'Kcilly and James Jeffrey Roche) pictured; the same in her barred cells, the same in her gibbet halter, the same in all ways except that the prisoner are not inside her to clutch the gratings which close her hatchway and cry out to the square patch of sky above them." LOUISVILLE COURIER JOURNAL, August 12, 1917.

"It is indeed fortunate for mankind that the 'Success' is still alloat and available to public inspection. No museum in the world contains the same relics as may be seen in the Around the high bulwarks are suspended all the agencies of tortures human minds could invent more than a century ago. An inspection of the 'Success' is not amusing, it is not terrorizing. It does impress you; never can you forget it. It is an education in history, in the development of humanity." BOSTON TRANSCRIPT, October 26, 1912.

"Let us send this convict hulk, this eloquent rebuke to penal systems, around the world. She is a floating parable of the crimes of man against man. And when she has finished hrr mission search out the deepest soundings in the Pacific and there sink her and the thing (she signifies in a thousand fathoms of dishonored oblivion." On June 10, 1913, an article appeared in THE NEW YORK EVENING JOURNAL, written by DR. C. H.

PARKHURST, as follows "The story gathered from official sources of what was suffered on the passage and subsequent arrival at the penal colony is blood curdling and lies as a heavy blot on English history. Much as we may extol English character in general, the English Government has shown itself capable of atrocities that will cling for centuries to the record of British administration. A visit to the 'Success' is not an amusement, an education. The ship itself has more history than can be crowded into any book. The Convict Ship "Success" is the Greatest and Most Extraordinary Exhibition That Ever Visited America.

It is a Theme for the Pen of a Dante. When You Walk Her Decks, Grooved with the Chains of Her Miserable Victims, the Past Will Speak to You its Sad and Moamful Lesson, but You Will Leave Feeling Better Because You Live in a Better Age. The Convict Ship is lighted throughout with electricity so that her manifold wonders can be comfortably inspected by night as well as by day. A corps of high class guides and lecturers are always on duty, to conduct visitors over her three decks brimful of historic und educational interest. OPEN TO THE PUBLIC TO DAY AND DAILY FROM 10 A.
