The Wichita schools have always had a
good reputation for musical ability bus a
bright star was added to the crown last
night by the entertainment given at the
Crawford opera house by the musical de-
partment of the city schools II is but

the city schools.
The chorus gave selections from the
cantata David. BY Geo. w Marston.
and the cantata Paul Revere's Ride. -
By Dudley Buck For many weeks they
have been trained by Miss Clark In this
work and they showed what hard worE.
under an efficient teacher could do. The
chorus sang with great volume and SPLEEN
did effect The members We're arranged
SO that their voices blended beautifully
and each member seemed 10 take an es-
pecial pride il the work and sang with a
vim. The members We're arranged in tiers
on the stage with a piano for accompan-
lists at either side. The decora tons used
for the High school commencement were
still in place and this added considerably
to the pleasant effect of the scene.

High school students. In fact the exer-
cises were given by the graduates Of the
high school and grammar schools OF this
city and there were about an equal num-
