cago has two bands and orchestras to
every one in either New York or Bos-
ton. 1t was the Chicago chief of police
who said, Give me city that has mu-
sic in it's hearts and music in Its homes

There is no reason why Los Angeles
should not be a musical center. IN
most things this city is solid enough
but musically it is a bluff. The sym
phonv orchestra of Los Angeles, al
though acknowledged by those compe-
tent to Judge as one of the very best
in the country, has to get along with
$40 600 a year. The symphony orches-
tras of other cities cost from SSO,OOO 10
s1OO 900 a year. Even Seattle spends
S45. 900 a year on its symphony orches-
ira
Much good work, from musical
standpoint is being done in the public
schools of our city, although very feW
persons are aware of it. This work
was begun by James A. Foshay, when
he was superintendent of schools. 1t
has resulted in the formation of six
teen children's orchestras in the gram
mar schools alone and the high schools
add three more to this number in ad-
dition to choral societies. l doubt II
there is another city in the country
that can make such showing. And
these kids are doing some work that
is worth while, too.

Political Band Failure
Denver appropriates $1,000 a week
to the support of its municipal band.
The first municipal band was failure
of the worst type. 1t was a political
band and the band was as rotten as
politics. The tuba player held his job
because the councilman from a certain
ward was his friend. It was the same
with the majority of the players. Some
of them knew less about music than
baby and went through the motions
with the rest of the organization.
Matters continued this way for
about two years when Denver became
so disgusted that it decided to hire no
local musicians, but to get outside
talent Ellery's band is now the Den
yer municipal band, but the end of this
season will see the end of foreign bands
in that city. Local musicians are to be
hired again, but they will not owe their
appointment to politics. They will
have to pass rigid examination before
a committee of competent musicians,
appointed by the mayor. This commit
tee of five has entire charge of the band
and has engaged a well known New
York man as director.
