LOWELL MASON THEME
OF MESIC STUDY CLUB
The Summerville Music Study Club met at the home[
of Mrs. H. D. Brown Wednesday.
Mrs. S. H Caldwell presented a program on Georgia
Composers. . .
She chose to tell about Lowell Mason, who, while living
in Savannah, wrote many
hymns including "Nearer My
God to Thee," "My Faith Looks
Up to Thee" and "From Green
land's ley Mountains.”
Mason was born in Medfield.
Mass in 1792. lie was descended
from Puritan ancestors who
first settled there in 1653. His
parents wisely encouraged the
boy's growing fondness for
music He was a student of the
piano and organ and played the
flute and clarinet.
When Lowell was 20 years old,
he left for Savannah, to take a
position which had been offered
him as a clerk in a bank.
Mason continued his study of
music in Savannah after his
banking hours, working under
F. L Abel <a German who hnd
come to our shores to teach
music) and soon Mason became
choirmaster and organist in
the Independent Presbyterian
Church. He was an apt student
and soon began to compose
hymns and tunes as well as
anthems It was during this
period of study with Abel that
Mason collected and edited a
book of psalms Theje were sub
sequently published by the Bos
ton Handel and Hayden Society
in 1821 and had an immediate
popularity selling more than
50,000 copies and earning thou
sands of dollars which were di
vided between Mason and the
Society.
At heart. Mason was not only
a reformer, but a true educator,
and for him life began nt 40
His years of teaching and di
recting choirs had taught him
that music's greatest value
would come only if children
could have music in the school
room He asked several hundred
children to come to singing
classes They were taught free
of charge if they attended for
one year At the same time the
public school was coining to be
recognized as a fundamental
American institution and Mason
began to preach the right of
every child to receive elemen
tary instruction in music. The
school board didn't like these
ideas so Mason knew he would
have to prove his theories so he
arranged a group of public con
certs during the season of
1832-33 to demonstrate his prin
ciples So great was his success
that in 1833 Mason founded
the Boston Academy of Music,
which would be a workshop for
his ideas Like al) of Mason's
earlier classes, the children
would be taught free of charge
if they were over 7 years old.

the end of one year it had
grown so rapidly they had 500
students enrolled.
Four years later the schools |
realized these children who had
music made better pupils so
they let Mason's music come to |
the schools but did not appro- |
priate any pay for a teacher.:
Mason didn’t let this worry him.:
He kept right on teaching with- '
out pay and even buying ma-1
terials and music out of his.
pocket.
After the first year he was
put in charge of all Boston’s j
public school music and in
August 1838 he was the world’s
first Superintendent of Public*
School Music.
The dream of Lowell Mason
would attain its greatest ful-|
fillment in the 20th century,
and set America finally apart
from the world's other nations
in this field of public service.
He was one of the most power
ful and original personalities of
the 19th century and he did
more, perhaps, than any other
lone man in his time to further;
the cause of American musig
Today in the PyMbyterftin I
Church of Savannah, two of j
Mason's original copies of his
first hymns are hanging on the j
walls as proof our first “Father

Mrs Nell Taylor accompanied
several of her students as j
they presented selections. Misses
Jane Stephenson and Marilyn
Bryant sang "From Greenland's
Icy Mountains", "Rock of Ages" j
and “My Faith Looks Up to
Thee”, and Danny Floyd sang j
"Tramp, Tramp, Tramp, the,
