THE COST OF MUSIC

Year of 1900.
MUSIC IN STATE INSTITUTIONS
1t Is of the Utmost Importance and
Value-Roard of Control Believes in
Its Ability to Bring About Good
Results. s

A recent report made by the board
of control shows the sums of money
expended by the state in 1900 for mu-
sic at the various state institutions in
Iowa. Although the aggregate amount
is $S,643.S4 for the year 1900, the
members of the board consider that
the money was well spent, and the
board is thoroughly convinced that the
music at the institution is of ines
Unable value in caring for the wards
of the state.
Judge Kline, of Des Moines, a mem
Der of the board, said in a recent inter-
view:
Some of the patients in the hospitals sit
for hours listening to music and appear to
be completely wrapped up and entranced
by it. Strangely enough, the music must
be of the best and the better it is the more
they enjoy It, One might think thar some
thing like Yankee Doodle would be as ser.
viceable as ANYTHING but that is not the
case. For the most part. the orchestra at
the institutions render nothing but CLASH
cal selections and they are thoroughly APP
