The Extent Of Opera in the United
States.

Walter Prichard Eaton, writing in the
March American Magazine. on the grow
ing popularity Of opera in the United
States says
ITO gather the extent 10 which opera
has spread to America. il is necessary
only to consult the figures. At the
Metropolitan opera house, during the
current season. twenty-five weeks have
been given over to performances. extra
evenings in French opera by the Chi
cago company being literally supplied.
The Chicago company has sung for ten
weeks in Chicago az the beginning OF
the season, finishing the season with
ten weeks at Philadelphia. At the Bos-
ton opera house, the season lasted for
twenty weeks which is, by the way,
quite too much for city OF that size.
Besides these regular seasons. the New
York company has sung fourteen times
in Brooklyn eight times in Philadel-
phia. and occasionally in such cities as
Albany. The Chicago company has gone
to Milwaukee where "Salome' plea sed

special state aid to high schools pro-
'viding approved courses in agriculture,

ing, or In any two OF these subjects or

one half the cost Of instruction in each
branch, not, however, TO exceed $3.50
for each il instruction is given In the
high only, but not TO exceed $3.50 for
each If instruction is also given in the
