T™ “SAVE AND SANE FOURTH” for 1912 has been sighted eaxd epoken. : 7 The Fourth of July Committee of the City of New York is calling attention to two nest booklets just published by the Russell Sage Foundation. One reviews the various “Sane Fourth” celebra- thons throughout the country in 1911 and makes practical suggestions for next time. In the other W. 0. Langdon furnishes outlines for new pageants, and Arthur Farwell, Supervisor of Municipal Concerts in this city for 1910-11, gives advice about Fourth of July music. The Committee poimte with just pride to tts achievements since the “Sane Fourth” idea bore its first fruits three years ago. In 1909 20 cities had “Sane Fourths”; 5,307 persons were killed and injered. In 1910 91 cities tried the now kind of Fourth; 2,923 was the wamber of killed and hurt. In 1911 161 cities were “sane.” Casualties fell to 1,603. The committee can, therefore, claim that three years of “Sane Pourths” have saved 6,000 from death and injury. Besides this sparing of life and limb the “Sane Fourth,” with its pogeants, parades and tebleaux, unquestionably stirs up healthy his- torlo interest and curiosity and brings out patriotism; while bande, processions, {luminations and sports keep up ample gayety. A particularly good euggesiion for next time is: Let there be! plenty of music everywhere—homes, streets and parkt. Nothing lightens the heart and seta the mind in holiday tune Ike music. There cannot be too much of it. Mr. Farwell declares | that while the Fourth of July in the past meant two things—“The Téea of Liberty—and Nojec”—present signs indicate that the Fourth | of July of the future will mean “The Idea of Liberty—and Music.” | makes a strong plea for more and better bands, more people’s | choruses and more national songs by native composers. | The most elaborate new echeme for a pageant includes a stage piotare of the discussion of the Declaration of Independence in the | Continental Congress, introducing Hancock, Adams, Jefferson and others. The desirability of boginning preparations early is strongly urged. The Foundation offers to supply detailed celebration plans | adapted to cities of various sizes. : » The Safe and Sane Fourth has come to stay. Remembering the Wenderful interest and success of the parade of the nations in this efty last year, the extraordinary variety of costume, dance, etc., that ‘be evoked from the races gathered here, and the value of bringing ethene elements together to celebrate a common national festival, Mew York should take up the matter of a sanc and safo celebration for this year’s Fourth with promptness and enthusiasm, two tame robins who for necks, which ts easy to do under the The Evening Wor Years have nested in the black nces.
