/ think I may safely say that ell Who
attended Mr.. Surette's lectures. the frs.
and second OF series on the "psyeop-
ment OF Music" were entertained as wei
as instructed.
There were many IN the audiences who
were not musicians. The aim OF these
lectures Is to enlighten those Who are not
musicians. and yet many are staying
away with that for a reason. Would not
appreciate II, because I am not must

tors? l use tho word art" in It's acous-
toned sense. L am pretty sure they o..
tend such lectures, especially when lllus-
trated with stereoptc0n views. I have
been to them. and have been highly en-
tertained. one likes 10 be made familiar
with such masterpieces as Murillos I'm.

Last Judgment" the ''Sistine Madonna"
and the like, and we enjoy them the moTs
when the lecturer points out 20 Us their
claims TO being masterpieces. and yet
perchancs. va ncn-paintefs do not enjoy
them 40 greatly as the painter, or even
thu art student
Now why should not those who are not
musicians 60 enjoy the masterpieces o,
Bach, Handel. and Beethoven Not -
much as the student or composer " NIL
sic, but still very greatly, II tnelr beauties
are pointed out and their compositions
then listened to. This IS just what ono
