MUSIC FOR AND BY THE PEOPLE.

The meaning and influence Of good music in lives
that in many may stand in especial need of
such rainistrations is always emphasized by con
certs of the Peoples Choral Union, and at last

string orchestra of the Music School Settlement.

Of the most fortunate and admirable functions of
good music. 1t needed only a moments hearing
