And I can recall distinctly when the great Ovide Musin--then in his prime, was presented by my father in concert as well as many other celebrities.
 "In Manlieus, New York, at St Johns Military Academy, regarded, as the finest military training school in America, outside. of West Point my son was educated and being a re- markable cornet player he was very much in demand because of his talent. I found there, just as I find it the case in industrial plants. that where man is talented musically he stands better chance of getting a good position than the man who has little knowledge of the art.
 Music affords boy recreation and relief from the monotony of study and it is a splendid factor in the development of boys education. It is the same with girls and while we have as yet no girls in our Central High school band or the Ensley High school band-of course we don't know when we will add them-as women are entering. all the professions and avenues that men invade.
 Music is three-fold in it's influ- ence. said MT. Meade, "it is educa- tional, moral and artistic, and my advice to parents would be to en- courage and stimulate an interest in music when their boys show any signs of talent and to realize that it is great element in their education and future life"
