B. C. Chain. BY MARTIN CODEL. Educators throughout the Nation are ‘hailing with delight the series of radio concerts for school children which Walter Damrosch will conduc: over a network of the National Broadcasting Co., beginning tomorrow. Some regard it as the first step toward broadcasting varied educational programs on a na- stion-wide scale for reception in the classrooms. The opening of the series of 48 Fri- day morning concerts, devoted to the aworks of great masters and graded ac- cording to the mental development of children and young people from the third grade through the high schools and colleges, represents the realigation of Mr, Damrosch’s dream of “leading millions of school children into the magic land of music during their for- mative years.” ‘The concerts are to be in four grades —the first for children in the third and fourth grades, the second for the fifth and sixth grades, the third for the seventh and eighth grades, and the fourth for the ninth grade and junior nigh schools. Each concert will last for half an hour, the different grades of programs being scheduled for alter- 491.5—WEAF New York—e10 08—Dinner muste. 00—Hymn sing.

The first program, beginning at 11 am. this Friday, is designed to appeal to the very young. The second begins at 11:30 am., and is intended to be heard by grades seven, eight and nine and the junior high schools. The fol« lowing Friday at the same hour grades five and six will have their first con- cert, and the first of the college cone certs also will be heard. Music in Every School. It is Dr. Damrosch’s wish to know that every school in the land is tuning- in_on his symphonic concerts. Several of his concerts with the New York Sym- phony Orchestra from Carnegie Hall have previously been brosdcast as an experiment. Their great success, added 1o the enthusiasm already evinced by parents and teachers for the new ries, insures the success of his new en- terprise in the musical education of youth. Leaders in the National Education Association for some time have been advocating the broadcasting of just this kind of course and others by mas- ter teachers to supplement the work of the local teacher. It has been done locally in many communities, but the hope is to extend it over national hook-ups. One of the difficulties has been to maintain such a project free from com- mercialism. ‘The Damrosch concerts are really sponsored by a large manu- facturer of radio equipment, with the altruistic purpose part of a highly legiti- mate object of heightening the cultural value of radio und widening the market for the sale of radio receiving sets. That Dr, Damrosch is not concerned with crass commercial motives is gen- erally accepted in the educational world, which is welcoming his symphonic les- sons to the young. The doctor further explains his plans in the forthcoming issue of the journal of the National Education Association in his own words: = “It is needless to say that it will be our endeavor to grade the programs in such a way as to lead the children gently along until they are able to un- derstand and enjoy music of a more. complicated character. During some «f the concerts I shall have the various {astruments of the orchestra play alone, ‘ashingfon Yard (4345 # that the children can gain & good "“’_'n'.m_cn "x‘n‘!«m-). y Inowledge of their qualities and possi- bilities.
