Better Street Siuns.

A correspondent sends the following
excellent suggestions: If the names of
all streets were stenciled in the &C.
ment when sidewalks are laid it would
be a great blessing. The names should
be placed on all four rners At
least the work should begin at once
with all new sidewalks. This does
away with all temporary signs on
posts or on buildings. 1t is permanent
and does away with the periodic re-
newal and readjustment of signs.
Since the names would be on all cor
ners they would be in plain sight and
do away with the expert divination
now frequently necessary to find the
signs.
Another suggestion is that the num-
bers IA each block can be indicated in
the, same way. Six hundred on one
corner shows at once which side is
even and which way the numbers are
higher than 600 and. which way they
are lower. Across the street 601 tells
the whole story. This Is a great CON.

FOR COMMUNITY MUSIC.
Wisconsin State University Plans to
Assist Communities.

Assist Communities.
Community music throughout Wis
consin is to be stimulated through sys-
tematic effort recently organized by the
state university. A bulletin Of the
extension department Of the university
calls attention to activities showing
how music is becoming popularized
throughout the United States.
The bulletin instances a "Pennsyl-
vania Oberammergau" at Bethlehem.
where a local choir gives what are
conceded to be the finest presentations
of Bach's work in this country and IL

town Of L%indsborg.

music in the Minneapolis schools,
which he carried out at practically no
expense. He mounted a box and led a
band and 5000 people. who came from
n%eighboring villages. in the familiar old
songs which every one knows and
loves.
Efforts which have been made to
control street music are also men
toned. In ome cities hand organs are
supplied with music for the folk dances
which children learn in the schools. In
Boston street instruments must have
their tunes censored before they are
given licenses.
The bulletin how the uni
versity. through it's extension division.
will assist any community in the state.
1t plans to rent at low cost music
for choruses, bands and orchestras, and
it is now arranging for "a course in
music appreciation, consisting Of rolls
for mechanical piano players and disks
for monographs. together with a series
Of lectures or studies" This material
will be sent out in Il way similar to
that in which travelling sets of books
or clippings are now put at the dis
posal of localities.
The department will further assist in
the forming of entertainment courses.
Teachers of music will be provided for
communities. and the plan will involve
circuits of several neighboring small
communities, each of which may thus
obtain part of the service of a we'll
equipped musician.
