Excerpt from Kansas City Public Library

Former Field Secretary in New Position. - Rowland Haynes, one of the first field secretaries of the Playground and Recreation Association of America, who assisted in the development of recreation programs in Milwaukee, Detroit and a number of the leading cities in the United States, who during the war was in charge of War Camp Community Service recreation work for soldiers in New York City and later served as director of the Cleveland, succeeding Sherman Kingsley in this position.

All creation workers will rejoice that within the recreation field, Rowland Haynes made his start in social and civic work and all his friends will rejoice over the very large opportunity for service which comes to him in his new position.

San Francisco's Music Week. - The National Bureau for the Advancement of Music, 105 W. 40th St., New York City, publishes as illuminating and suggestive report of San Francisco's First Music Week. Working closely with the San Francisco Community Service Music Organizer for California, the National Bureau was able to develop one of the most satisfactory music weeks in the entire country. The entire community responded to the idea and vital help cam from many sources - the Chamber of Commerce, the City Administration, the Music Trades Association, the Musicians' Union among others.

Daily organ recitals, a children's community sing, the community chorus concert, the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra concert and bands and bands and bands. Churches, clubs, educational institutions observed the week. Foreign born groups, industrial groups held sings. One of the biggest events was the music memory contest for children above the fourth grade in public and parochial schools. Three Chinese girls turned in perfect test cards. Only fifty-two of 1400 contestants misspelled "Tschaikowsky."

The report of this work makes thrilling reading. What has been done by San Francisco can be done by other communities.

Honors to Music Leader. - Alexander Stewart, Community Music organizer, Long Beach, California, has been made an honorary member of the Southern Pacific Glee Club, which is composed of Southern Pacific employees. The other honorary members include Mme. Schumann-Heink, the Governor of the state, and Mrs. Minerva N. Swain. In acknowledging the honor, Mr. Stewart said:

"I take it that the honor is one which should be shared with Community Service, the organization whose interest I am working, and which is so appreciative of the splendid work which the Glee Club and Band are performing."

From a Popular Composer. - Carrie Jacobs-Bond, composer of A Perfect Day, Just A-Wearing For You, I Love You Truly, and other famous songs, wrote to Alexander Stewart, Community singing organizer in Southern California:

"I am really retiring from all public work and I have decided to give the rest of my life to the community sing whenever I do appear in public because I think it is one of the most splendid and helpful things we have. So, when I come back next fall you can count on me if I am able to work."

Music for All. - One of the most important events of Music Week in Bellingham was the production of The Makado by the American Legion. The owner of the Herald and Reveille raised them money through ten dollar subscriptions to pay the expenses.
