In his article, “Music in this Age”, (January 1957 issue of this magazine) R. W. John warned music educators that they must be alert to dejend the place of music in the curriculum lest it be overwhelmed by the invasion of science instruction, which is demanding more and more hours. Something, Mr. John indicated, should be done about it. An editorial note raised this question: “What would you say or do if called upon to justify the retention of music in the curriculum in the event your school administrators, supported by the school board and press, believed it must be eliminated in favor of more emphasis on the sciences?” The following comments in response to the query are taken from a letter to the Journal. Other statements will be printed in succeeding issues.
