Music was born in the mind of God long before Heaven was created.
It was the final analysis of things to come. Man and creation are
products of real music. The harmony of the universe is apparent in
all that is seen.
It is an art that cannot be destroyed. Not all children in music will
become famous musicians but will, because of music, be better men and
women in the future.
The duty of our public schools is to aid in the production of happy
and efficient citizens, responsible, dependable and ready to take their
place in the leadership of their future.
Democracy gives all equal opportunity. It is there for the boys and
girls. It is their right to study music even though financially unable
to buy instruments. We try to give training to all children. Those who
are talented develop quickly and are encouraged to pursue their studies.
Sometimes they become our future artists, but more often they become
our future citizens, able to live with their fellow men and able to lead
productive, useful lives.
These students even become our teachers of tomorrow, and those
who expect to teach in the schools should be given all the special training
needed as in any vocation.
Our schools should provide musical experiences for all. We know
that many of the emotional needs of the growing boy and girl are met
through physical and mental participation in music.
It is our challenge as educators to see that that experience is the
kind really needed, as the teacher fashions the mold to which the child
eventually responds.
The educators must give the best if they want the best. It is in
our power to build the taste and the standards of the future, either to
mediocrity or the finest in the arts.
It isn't the great number we have, it is what we do with the number
we do have. It isn't the new material we order, it is how we handle and
use what we have. We are like a potter with clay. We help develop
the child into the character desired. Watch-that we mold truly the uptness
that is needed.

5th TMEA President
Held Office: 1954-1956
“I recall very well the first meeting of TMEA which I
attended in Tennessee some five yeas ago. I was very
conscious of the valiant effort on the part of several
individuals to make TMEA a functional organization. . .
I believe that TMEA is now in the strongest position of
its history to contribute to the forward movement of
music education. Let us then strive in the future to bear
our share of the responsibility for the tasks that lie ahead.”
