TO KEEP AN EYE ON SUNDAY CONCERTS

The special topic for discussion at the Woman 3
National Sabbath Alliance. yesterday, was the
Sunday afternoon concerts in the public schools
The Rev. Dr. David G.. Wylie and Colonel A P
Ketchun. of the New-York Presbytery Committee
appointed look into the concerts, there and
spoke.
Colonel Ketchum said he had attended OF
the concerts. and found many things to praise
There about five hundred persons present
most of them young people. and there little
to find fault with in the programme. Neither of
speakers, in fact inclined TO be severely
critical and they advised the alliance. for the
present, least, maintain merely a attitude
of observation.
The agitation, they explained. had sprung from
the announcement OF a plan by which the pro-
erarnrne would be varied in different parts of the
city TO suit the nearby population and II was
feared by some that this process of differentiation
might prove entering wedge for the control Of
some OF the public schools altogether by particular
churches In discussing this phase OF the ques-
Unless the programmes should assume character
more distinctly indicative of clerical control they
would hesitate TO critcise the concerts they said
The alliance will take no action in the matter AT
present, except to appoint a committee to confer
with the Presbytery committee and other einAar
committees that may be appotnted
