The Music Festival

It has been several years since Bir- mingham had music festival, and the one which opens tonight will doubtless attract enthusiastic crowds. There are to be five concerts, including two after noon performances. While the pro- grammes are made up of artistic mu- sic, some of it classical, they are the reverse of severe or heavy.
 It is intended that this festival, un. der the direction of F. N. Innes, with the famous Innes band, as the feature attraction, shall be in the best sense popular. Every number played and sung will interest and delight the gen eral music-loving public as well as those persons who are musically edu cated As the admission charge is only $1 for the best seats the house should be filled to overflowing tonight

seems eminently fitting that action be had at once on the urgent plea of the board of education.
 The white schools are crowded, and the negro schools are more than crowded. The latter are really a men ace to the health of the city. No negro school has been built in b years, al- though one was in that time burned down. It was never replaced. and there is not today accommodation in the public schools for one half of the negro children of the city.
 All the white schools need enlarge ment, and the use of the Paul Hayne school as high school will next year be necessary, for Greater Birmingham will pour into the central schools of the enlarged city a large number of high-school pupils. The address of the board of education should be widely read, and the city council cannot afford to delay action upon matter that touches the lives of thousands of chill dren,
