OUR MUSICAL STANDARDS.

The May music festival was an ar
sistic triumph, but We fear not the
financial success it should have been.
This differentiation marks the line
between artistic merit and our appre-
citation. To eliminate this line it will
be necessary TO convert vacant seats
into S. r. 0.
This is no criticism Of people who
SO lot love the higher standards Of
music. 1t is simply an exposure Of
the need OF what Pro-. Griffith has
devoted many years. a lot OF hard
work ard considerable sacrifice 10

ter productions OF the divine art The
rather light attendance at the con-
certs really made in unnecessary. That
in itself was an exposure, but little
emphasis may not be Inappropriate,

the lower to the greater heights Of
music
