MRS EDISON PRAISES MUSIC IN THE HOME.
Mrs Thomas A. Edison, speaking at Atlantic City, U.S.A., advocated the charms of family music as an escape from “this restless and complex age.” In an address before the congress of the National Recreation Association, of which she has been a director for 16 years, the inventor’s wife said: “Some of the finest memories of home life that your children will have tomorrow will be the memories of music shared together.” “Our happiness as a nation rests not alone on material progress,” she declared, “but upon the free growth and wise cultivation of the things for the spirit. The greatest value of music in our times, I believe, is its power to transport us quickly from the material to the spiritual world.”
