Excerpt from French Music of to-Day

The untiring activities of M. G. Jean-aubry in fostering international amenities in literary, artistic, and musical circles have made his name familiar not only in France and England, but throughout Western Europe.

Primarily his mission has been to spread the knowledge of French achievements in these spheres not only abroad but at home, for even Frenchmen were at first slow to realise the im portance of the rejuvenation that had taken place in all the arts during the concluding decades of the nineteenth century. But the same curiosity that led him to the study of recent French achievements was bound eventually to extend itself to correspond ing movements in other countries with which his missionary work had brought him into relations.

Thus it comes about that he.
