MUSIC and MUSICIANS


Itais quite gratifying. from musical
standpoint, to fnd public recitals a. well
attended as those which are held in
Washington. The Congressional Library
musicals held weekly for the blind. are
artistic events in themselves and need no
introduction; the Sunday afternoon mu-
sical services and organ recitals at the
churches are likewise well established
faets In our musical world, and it IL not
surprising that these various concerts
should be so well attended. The forming
OF the several chorus organizations show
TO certain extent the trend OF musical
inclinations. the same impetus being the
cause OF the large audiences at the Or
chestral and Artists Recitals. The rais-
ing OF the musical standard, even in the
way OF public attendance at really good
musical functions. Is to our credit and
should be benefit TO musicians as well
as 70 art itself.
