Page 181 - ... rank as substantial educational material, whereas they are important features in the outfit of every human being who means to be cultivated, efficient, and rationally happy. In consequence, many native Americans have grown up without musical faculty and without any power to draw or sketch, and so without the high capacity for enjoyment, and for giving joy which even a moderate acquaintance with these arts imparts. This is a disaster which has much diminished the happiness of the native American...
Page 124 - In examinations and grades we attempt to determine individual differences and to select individuals for special purposes. It seems strange that no scientific study of any consequence has been made to determine the validity of our methods, to standardize and improve them. It is quite possible that the assigning of grades to school children and college students as a kind of reward or punishment is useless or worse; its value could and should be determined.
Page 61 - The context had assured him of that! We were told in answer to a similar query as to a certain word: "Shucks! Hit jus' comes that way." These people are the real simon-pure Americans! They are the "mountain whites" and are not to be confounded with the "poor white trash

The statement has been made that amongst these people one can find nearly all the folk songs ever sung in the...

Page 223 - SUNDRIES. 1. All papers intended to be read before the Association must be submitted to the Executive Committee before reading, and their decision regarding such papers shall be final. 2. Publications of the Association...
Page 61 - South! A sturdy race, with individual characteristics, isolated in a unique way from the rest of the great teeming land, which has been covered by a network of railways and telegraph and telephone wires. Perhaps nowhere in the United States can one find a community so absolutely innocent of any knowledge of the progress of the world at large. One hears of ranchers in our West who live in utter isolation, with rides of a hundred miles to reach the nearest flag-station on a railroad. One hears also...
Page 138 - Music — that is, melody — and words thereto — ah, that is the whole world!' Melodic inventiveness is, in the highest sense of the term, the vital goal of the composer. If he is unable to make melodies which command the right to endure he has little reason to proceed with his studies in musical composition. It is for this reason that the great composers of the past have shown such intimate respect for the peasant melodies of their respective countries. Rimsky-Korsakoff, Dvorak, Grieg and others...
