In letter entitled Free Pianos" in
the Philadelphia Musical Record, Margaret
Is. Harvey Gays:
IL any community recognizes the neces
sity Of library aud books, fail to see
Why it does not recognize the necessity of
a music hall and pianos. 1t would, il it
saw in music something more than mere
amu.ement-if it knew music for what it
really is. as powerful an instrument of edu-
cation and elevation ~ literature.
Given free music hall. provided with
small practice rooms, piano in esch-with
10. 90 hs,
ferred ihem-with library Of bound vol
umes of the works Of the best masters-
With reading room containing oil the mu
steal journals, giving notes of the latest
progress in music. with the gossip Of the
musical worid-with portraits Of great
musicians. Then what would follow, that
is, if such 4 music hall did all the good
that it might, to those whom 1t was intended
to help?
Every boy and girl, every man and
woman. who wanted uninterrupted houfs oil
musical practice, could arrange to have
them. be those persons ever 90 lowly-
while those better of in the worlds goods
could enjoy the same privilege, and bring
their gifts where appreciation would be
certain No neighbors need complain. for
the hall would be sufficiently remote from
private dwellings and, for the came reason.
no petty cares need intrude. With every
mt ans of Information At hand, it would soon
begin to dawn upon the seekers what music.

beauty, its celestial glory is Then would
begin to develop in the community an At
mosphere Of higher culture.

A few flowers may be put in just
