ORCHESTRAL WORK. IN ST LOUIS DATES. BACK T0 F|FT|ES
Symphony Organization Con- ina Here One of Oldest
 In America

The St. Louis Symphony orchestra which will give concerts at the Jeff ferson theatre here on Thursday Music Study club Is one the oldest symphony organizations in the country. Tradition has 1t that sym- phonies were performed In St. Louis by a local orchestra as early as 1S4o Be that as 1t may. the history of symphonic music In St. Louis from Civil war times is well authenti cated. One of the most valued treasures in the archives of the St Louis Symphony society. Is well preserved program of symphony concert given by 40 musicians known as the St. Louis philharmonic society. on October IS. 1860. The di- rector was Edward Sobolewski. a man of Polish birth, whose descend ants are actively identified with the musical life of St. Louis.
 The present St. Louis symphony society dates from 1881. The con ductor of the organization from 1881 to 1894 was Joseph Otten and from director. It was in November oi 1907 that Max Zach. assistant con ductor of the Boston symphony or cheStra, was engaged as conductor He remained in that post until his sudden death in February 1921.
 Zach twas a product of the Boston symphoncy orchestra, having been a member of that organization since 1886 and the best traditions and ideals of that famous organization were implanted In St. Louis by him After fourteen years of patient and untiring effort he gradually brought to perfection an orchestral instru- ment which may be said to take rank sa one of the six best orchestras in the United States.
 O O O
 Ganx Takes Reins.
 When in the spring of 1921 the of ficials of the St. Louis sympohny society invited Rudolph Gang to ac- cept the conductorship of the or, cl. l.estra, Gang came to St. Louis and found an almost perfect instrumen for him to play upon. He also found the packers of tho orchestra ready to guarantee adequate finan- cial support Above all, however. he found the St. Louis public had been well trained in the appreciation oi the masterpieces of symphonic mu- sic by his distinguished predecessor
 With such ideal conditions, 1t Is rot strange that man With the splendid musicianship and agreeaoie personality of Rudolph Gang should have attained such remarkable sue cess during his first season as con ductor.
 MT. Gang himself often says that his success was made possible large ly through the years of earnest work that Mir. Zach put forth to bring the orchestra up to It's presen, state of splendid efficiency.

F. D. Grazes, superintendent of ed ucation has resigned his position in Fairfield. The resignation has been accepted. Mir. Grazes will be sue ceeded by Professor Baker, a brother of N. R. Baker, superintendent of Jeff ferson county schools. With the resignation of Professor Grazes it de- veloped that he rendered his letter of resignation to the board of education something over 10 months ago. The differences between the board and Mir. Grazes have apparently been closely shielded since that time. al though no official announcement has been made it has been learned from reliable sources that Mir. Grazes was disappointed in his building recom mendatfon failing to materialize. It Is understood that efforts were made to persuade MT. Grazes to remain in Fairfield. but that he flat1y declined to withdraw his resignation. He is the first uperintendent of education to be employed in this city and has earned very flattering place in the esteem of the parents of this city. His resignation will be learned, therefore. with considerable regret. It will be pleasing to his friends to know that Professor Grazes contemplates con- tinuing his residence in Fairfield.
