They may know where the flood area is in the; south. But it is evident that some . sophisticated New Yorkers have failed to learn that Mandan is just about 1,000 miles away from these flood horrors. The New York Times, it is apparent, slipped up on its geography for once. For, in the midst of a page of pictures titled “Scenes from the Disastrous Flood in the Mississippi Valley,” is a picture which reads: “Laying Mats of Willows to Save the Levee at Mandan, N. D.” Missouri Slope residents will recognize the picture as one taken when revet- ment work was done on the Missouri bank this win- | ter, But the Times offers this as a typical pic- ture of what the embattled Mandan residents are $83 doing to keep the waters of the Missouri from . inundating their town! = <Let the Times rest assured, If we had that fa Much water here there would be no need to worry about the crops. But just now, if we want to see & & flood, we have to travel a thousand miles, all pic-| ‘tures to the contrary. ies America and Masic “© Observation of National Music Week brings one ;£Qmce more to consideration of the question: How “fertile a field for musical accomplishment is Amer-| ip dea going to prove? Thus far, obviously, America has done very little {Zim the world of music.

Of really enduring music we have fathered ~®imost none. We have a wealth of men who are 4urning out jazz in floods, and a lone few who are @oing really presentable work along more serious s:lines. That is about all we can say. The reasons for this are not hard to find. Our deficiency in musical achievement, like our failure to produce ‘any other variety of art as abundantly as other naticns do, springs largely from the con- ..ditions that have attended our growth as a nation. We have been too busy to have time for the arts. mes} Ever since the revolution American life has been kept keyed to a high pitch. We have been eter- nally at work. So whole-heartedly have we thrown ourselves into tasks that we have had ng time for ~, reflection—no leisure for things that were not ab- solutely necessary. Accordingly, our cultural life & < has been stunted. It has never had a chance. Of late, however, there have been signs of a <:~-ghange. In music, in literature, in the theatre, in the artist’s studio—everywhere there seems to be an awakening. We are beginning to discover that we cannot live by bread alone. On the heels {¥4 dof this, doubtless, will come an awakened atstheti> activity. What form will our music take, when we do pro- duce it? That is a hard question. One suspects that we will never turn out grand operas of any great consequence. Nor is it easy to agree with those who see in jazz the beginnings of a signifl- * cant music. And—if one needs to add this—it ,oayseems doubtful that American orchestras of the sfutare will be equipped with airplane propellers, auto horns and the like, despite the efforts along that line of certain very modern composers. Forecasts are rather futile. It is becoming ap- parent, however, that our long period of musical barrenness is about ended. In the near future, we may be confident, America will find its voice, [tot s Sornevis : Education and Myths The spread of education in Ireland is rapidly killing the picturesque old Irish folklore, accord- ing to Ella Young, Irish poet and author. Miss Young declares that the Irish children are growing more and more to find fairies and elves 2, 8nd.the tke unbelievable; in a short time, she says, 32 tretand’s “mass of ‘folklore. will exist only in ‘To a sentimentalist this doubtless will seem too bad.

Yet, at the same time, the old myths were beau- tiful—many of them were, at all events. And thev! held, here and there, grains of truth. An ancient Greek might believe that fauns and nymphs in- habited the woods behind his home; he might be- lieve that the mountain on the horizon was the home of all-powerful gods; and these beliefs might cramp his course of action and narrow his horizon. Yet they helped him to build buildings and to carve out statues that the world still admires; and they, kept him ¢ternally aware that life is a profound; mystery, a wondrous and insecure wayfaring in the! midst of forces that no mind can comprehend, | So they kept him from growing too complacent | and cock-sure. He was not arrogant; and the} beauty and majesty of nature and life were ever! before his eyes. | We have killed all of his gods and discarded all) of his myths. And scmetimes it seems that we have grown too sure of ourselves, too matter-of- fact, too blind to the power and the glory that the unenlightened ancients beheld so clearly. { That is our logs. It is good for us to become en-| jlightened. But we must watch that we do not ame the light that has come to us blind our eyes. Of Benefit to the Slope | is turning its efforts toward hastening completion | of the Little Missouri river bridge in McKenzie! county. Opening a new outlet to the southwestern | Part of the state, the bridge will serve the dual} purpose cf tying the western counties closer to-/ gether and providing a new link in the scenic high-| way through the Bad Lands. | McKenzie county is a part of the Missouri Slope| country, but, up to the present time, it might as/| well have been in western Montana.

Mis- | souri Slope residents lock forward with anticipa- tion to its completion. : What Equality Means It is one of the fundamental tenets of our coun- try that all men “are created equal”; and we are! proud of repeating that statement. : We might just as well bear in mind, though,| that this statement refers to equality of right and opportunity, not of inborn ability. This is emphasized by a report of Professor M. V. O’Shea of the University of Wisconsin, who has just completed an extended survey of the pub- lic school systems ofa certain state. He found that the children, far from. being: “created equal” mentally, were in fact created very unequal. Only 35 per cent of them fell within the +normal mental age for the grades in which they were enrolled; 23 per cent were above that mental age, and the remainder were mentally below it. This is worth remembering. We weren't all born | alike. Some men will always be born to be leaders and others will always be:.born to be followers. Our task is to see to it that all are given equal opportunities to develop the talents that lie with-! in them. That is the extent of it. “Provinces” No Longer It has been the custom of New York to speak lightly of other parts of the country as “the prov- inces.” Particularly is this true in the world of the theatre. But now, it appears, New York's theatres of the playhouse type—the theatres, that is, operated especially to foster worth-while drama and not for profit—are falling on evil days. *Qne after another they are closing; and a prominent New York critic! the other day remarked that this work apparently must be carried on by the little theatre movements ' of cities like Dallas, Cleveland, St. Louis and | Denver. | | It would be exceedingly odd if New York the} proud should find herself taking pointers, the- | atrically, from the despised “provinces.” But it | may well come to pass. provinces are sti) | Pretty well free of Broadway’s influence. [Editorial Comment | _—_———— | The Great Hooyer Mystery | | (New York Times) | For four days all Washington, official and un- official, has been in a flutter over the question what the president could have meant in his re- marks about Secretary Hoover last Friday. Noth- ing so portentous has been seen in the attitude of a ruler since the days when, if Napolecn turned a cold shoulder to a foreign, ambassador, it’ was known to mean war. But Mr. Coolidge has now happily cleared up the mystery—which was never @ mystery at all excbpt as it seemed to indicate that "the president had for once failed in caution and perfect tact. He explains that Secretary Hoover’s position is so high and assured that no reference to him could Possibly be taken as a slight. This time Mr. Cool- idge does not permit his language te be quoted di- reetly, but the correspondents are plainly given to understand by the white house “spckesman” that nobotly stands higher than Mr. Hoover in the. president’s respect and affection. Although there fs no recalling of last week’s statement that the secretary of commerce would not be appointed sec- retary of state should Mr. Kellogg resign, there is the gratifying assurance that Mr. Hoover is fullv competent to fill any position in the cabinet which he might desire. Certainly no more than this could be asked of the 5] in.

The. days are war: times uncomfortably so, and ture to let the furnace fires go out, at least for a day or two. It remains for the kingbirds and the orioles to usher in the final stage of spring, the arrival of continual warm weath- ev and the end of the frosts. But that is yet two or three weeks away -jund we may expect in the meantime another period or two of backward weather and impatient waiting. The chipping ‘rows were named “socialis” (the sociable sparrow) by the ornithologist Wilson, and very well do they merit the name. There ‘are which seem more strongly attached to man’s dwelling tplace. We find them nesting in a jbush or a small tree in the dooryard or among the vines on the side of the house.
