document in the elements Of the present
question that 1t is here reprinted:
I'm regard to the possibility of abandon
ing the Symphony concerts by our local
orchestra and replacing them by a series
of concerts by the Thomas Orchestra, I
beg to offer the following reasons why
such a plan Is in the nature Of q serious
mistake:
Il. Civic pride. If there were no other
snd better reason, this one. involving the
city's reputation. alone should sufhce to
Prevent the abandonment of our own Or
chestra. Shall the great city of St. Louis
become entirely dependent upon Chicago
for its orchestral concerts. as II 1t were
but a suburban town? Why should We
not rather strive to 30 thoroughly improve
our own home organization that 1t viii
Eventually reach the highest level of excel
(Gnce? We can learn from Chicago the
Dmethod Of doing this very thing. A great
orchestra was created within the limits Of
the city of Chicago by simple enough pro-
cesses of arithmetic-vix: Addition (of the
necessary expenses) and substraction from
generous bank accounts).
=. Our Musicai Development-Each COM
munity must go through its own peculiar
and various stages of musical development.
Though 81. Louis stands not 80 far adj
vanced as some of her sister cities are TN
this respect-yet 30 much Improvement has
been made with the past decade AZ to per-
NIT the hope Of greater progress. This
view Of the question II not to be despised
or overlooked. No true citizen Of St. Louis
should willingly put stumbhRx blocks and
