EDITORʼS NOTE: Many supervisors have been greatly helped in their local work by the activities of the Playground and Recreation Association of America. That Association has now undertaken a study which should have the whole-hearted support of all music educators, and to which they may look for helpful guidance in many of their larger problems. Mr. Zanzig, formerly Instructor in Music Education at Harvard University and Smith College, and in the public schools of Brookline, Massachusetts, is Director of the National Music Study of which he speaks in the following paper. Two years will be given to the Study, during which time Mr. Zanzig will visit many cities and towns in all parts of the country. A General Committee and Special Committees of men and women prominent in each of the fields of musical endeavor will have an important part in carrying on the Study.—P. J. W.
