The project of popular concerts for
our public schools, which Is being so
actively pushed, is more than meeting
with success, and the ortginators OF the
movement as well as interested onlook-
ers are enthusiastic.
The first concert, given at Polytech-
mic two weeks ago by Charles Farwel
Edison. was attended by $50 students
the second, which was furnished by the
Krauss quartet Thursday morning, was
listened to by 100 students,
The Los Angeles high school put on
the first concert in their series OF three
Thursday afternoon, and Herr and Mrs.
Thilo Becker played to throng that
crowded the Auditorium. Over $500
worth of tickets have already been sold
for this series, which assures good
profit for the entire course.
A. series of six recitals for the grades
will begin in Temple auditorium the
afternoon of November 20, the following
concerts being set for the third
Wednesday in each successive month,
April included. This series had been
planned for Simpson auditorium, but
already the seating capacity of 1900 has
proved inadequate, and so the larger
building his been engaged.
Proceeds from these concerts VIII be
turned back at once to the schools in
the shape of concerts in districts where

| thus their educational value viii be
enhanced twofold.
The entire proposition is educational,
and 1t is hoped that it will be possible
to continue this work from year to
year until the next generation shall be,
