10000 HEARD
ORCHESTRA IN
DETROIT, MICH.
Retired Manager Of Symphony
Also Lectured to Large
Number Of Children.

According TO the annual report of
the Detroit Symphony Society, as
published In the Musical Leader, at.
tendance at the thirty eight concerts
given in the public schools last sea
son attracted approximately 10000
persons, OF whom IL Is thought nine
.enths had never before heard q SYM
phony concert.
Robert de Bruce, retired manager
OF the symphony, gave forty-two lect.
ures in various schools, and 1t Is esti-
mated that he spoke to $4,000 chill
dren from six to sixteen years OF age.
About two.thirds OF these children
went to the concerts. Five OF the
events were held during school hours
and IL is believed had the majority
of concerts been given during school
periods all Of the children who heard
the lectures would have attended the
programs. The number OF school
concerts is unprecedented. Original
blans called for concerts only in the
large high school auditoriums, but
later schools with auditoriums seat
ing 400 or more were included.
For the most part the orchestra
received most loyal cooperation from
the principals and teachers of the
schools. There were some, however,
that were skeptical concerning the
value OF such work, but most of
these, II seems. have since been con.
vinced. Mr.. Cody, superintendent OF
the schools. is himself enthusiastic
over the results that have been OBJ
aimed. The work in the public
schools will be continued next year.
but in view Of the experience gained
he past winter, II may be carried on
along somewhat different lines.

restoration OF instruments of earlier
periods and whose work has aroused
widespread attention.
In the remarkable orchestra he is

lege. and his popularity upon the
campus can be in a small way
recognized by the fact that the senior
class dedicated the 1922 "Redskin,
A. q M. 3 annual publication, to him.
Another factor that has assisted
in bringing about the strong organi'
zation within this band Is chapter
of Kappa Kappa Psi. National hon
orary fraternity for bandsmen. In
this institution. Kappa Kappa Psi
was organized at the Oklahoma A
& M. College in 1919. Its purpose is
to unite each member Of the band
into an organization that will co
operate with the director. This fra
ternity sets the goal of membership
so high that to become affiliated
with the fraternity requires not only
excellent work as a musician in the
band, but one must also be leader
in student activities and have
high scholastic standing.
At the first biennial convention oi
Kappa Kappa Psi a program Of ex
pansion was adopted to locate chap
ters in the best colleges and uni
versities in the United States.

she could sing under water and

remarkable extent.

Miss Hackney, "when, in at

dive that I laughed under the
water-and heard myself.
"I begun practicing. Now /

outside to hear. | do not hum.
