Omaha daily bee., 1906-02-11

of Music Some of the local teachers, L
am told, are making the fur fly little, be-
cause these people are appearing in Omaha
for the very patent reason of gaining
pupils. Well! Why not? Each teacher
draws his own cientage. There seems to
be innumerable pupils. Certainly enough
to go around. Being Of the fatalistic turn
of thought, why get into a lather over
events entirely outside your circle of
light? Free concerts are demoralizing
in their effect, 1t is true but most to be
dreaded because of the mobs that are
moved to attend them. 1t wouldn't seem
as If the class of people appealed to would
do a music conservatory any lasting good.
A musicale will be given about the mid
die of March in the First Congregational
church, under the management of Mrs.
