made by the New York World will enable
the board of education to make a most
interesting experiment in popular musical
education. Free orchestral concerts are
to be given Sundays during the winter at

a number of public schools. Pupils and
their parents and relatives will be adj
mitted to these concerts. The music is to
be classical. or, at any rate. good, the
object being the elevation of the popular
taste. One orchestra will have fifty and

people, young or old. who cannot pay the

not a small admission fee mean greater
appreciation of the music on the part of

the price should be 3 cents. a little en-
dowment would enable the Chicago or

their prices and enlarge the orchestras en-
