MORE MUSIC IN FUTURE
Professor P. C. Buck, professor of music at London University, addressing tho London Conference of Organists at tho Royal College of Music recently, said that with increasing leisure more and more time was going to be spent on music. " If anyone could come back to tho world in 100 years' time," he said, " ono of the things that would astonish him would bo tho amount of music. It is for us at this present time to see that people mind whether it is good or bad music." Professor Buck said ho would rather have to stand up for good music than have 100.000,000 people who would have anything that was turned on for them. Ho emphasised tho need for acquiring taste in music, and said: "If you have not got taste you had better commit suicide." x
