"It is the aim of school music, then, to lay the foundations of this musical culture," Dr. Harrison con= tinued. The medium of its presenta- tion is the singing class, and the material of its communication is the folk and national song literature of Canada, and in the later stages the best choral music of the past and of the present. It seeks to plant and cultivate in every child a love of musical experience, and to draw out from the child a desire to take part in music. This needs to be accom- panied by sufficient ability of ear, eye and voige fo satisfy that desire, and such & choice of material as will form the basis of a sound musi. cal taste, Musical Education Lags We aré all-5-believe, conscious of the fact that musical education in Ontario is not what it should or might be, Dr. Harrison said.

Cc Conant Sees Music Culture Threatened by Totalitarianism ADDRESSES MUSICIANS Sees Many Artists Driven From Europe by Nazi Barbarism "At this very serious time and in very material world when force largely replaces reason, and the qualities of man, it is perhaps incongruous to engage in philoso- phizing," Hon. Gordon D. Conant, K.C., Attorney-General, said in opening his address before the an- nual meeting of the Ontario Music Teachers' Association in St. An- drew"s United Church yesterday. Continuing Mr. Conant said, "one cannot resist, even now, an inclina- | tion to examine fundamentals and | to determine, if possible, what is | wrong with the human race when such barbarities can be committed, and such extreme suffering inflict- ed upon some peoples of the human race. When we see millions of men, whom we are taught, and made in God's likeness and image, devote all their resources, all their ener- gles, all their ingenuity, everything | to the destruction of their fellow- | men, to the murdering of women | and children, and to inflicting un- | speakable horrors upon the inhabi- | tants of other nations, a measure of philosophizing may be permitted, or at least excused." A verbatim report of Mr. Con- | ant's address follows: "Since the beginning of recorded history the culture of one race or of one nation has had its effect upon all races and all nations. In...

The scheme went accord- ing to schedule pretty well, but there were unavoidable delays at Guelph | and Kitchener, In the meantime, the long lines of army lorries making up the con- voys of the five columns that moved out of Camp Borden in the dawn had been having their own troubles with traffic. Many of the roads outlined on the map-plan of the scheme had to be abandoned. New routes were substituted but there were time obstacles that could not be overcome. The crowds were patient. They waited over an hour in Guelph and longer than that in Kitcnencr. Tn Kitchener, people stood six deep on the roads and sidewalks and gave the troops a most enthusiastic re- ception.

Chamberlain also resigned his leadership of the Conservative Pare ty, which he retained when he gave way to Churchill as Prime Minister last May. The Press Association sald "it is a foregone conclusion" that Churchill would succeed as party leader. Chamberlain's resignation, exe pected because of ill health since soon after he gave up his prime ministry to Winston Churchill the day Germany invaded Holland and Belgium, forced a reorganization of the Cabinet, Churchill's first since he assumed office May 10.
