For the Good of the Order. MENC Member's Symposium

IN HIS “OPEN LETTER TO MEMBERS,” published in the February-March 1957 issue of the Journal, President William B. McBride said in closing: “It is the conviction of your officers and Board of Directors that MENC members should be given the privilege of helping set the stage for the immediate future and the ensuing developments in the field of music education. ‘For the good of the order,’ let us talk it over. With mutual understanding of the needs of the present and the opportunities for the future, we shall be prepared to extend to still greater success what has been gained in the first fifty years…” In this spirit, a members’ forum in the Journal was announced. Here is the third installment of the symposium. The first appeared in the September-October 1957 issue, and the fourth will be printed in the February-March 1958 issue. All members are invited to contribute.
