The Growing School Of Music

A project is on foot looking towards the erection of a $15,000 building for the School of Muslo. A meeting of the subscribers to the guarantee fund was held in the council room Wednesday evening, whicta was presided over by A. L. Noble. It was shown by the treasurer's report that the school had come within $150 of paying its expenses the first year, so that the guarantee fund was practically yet intact. The attendance has been 125, asagainst 75, the number expected. As Mr. Wines well put the matter in a paper which he read: "At the beginning of the year it was believed that the rooms èngaged in Newberry Hall would be ampie and well adapted for the purposes of the school, but it soon became necessary to secure additional aocommodations. t For the year to come with the prospective increase of attendance, the present quarters will be entirely inadequate. IL the school is to be permanently successful, it grows more and more clear that a building expressly adapted to its need will have to be provided. It is estimated that the sum of $15,000 would suffice f o f the pinchase of a convenient site and the erection and furnishing of a building; containing the needed teaching rooms! together with a hall for recitals and tor faculty and ehamber concerts. If this sum oan be seeured, theve is little or 110 doubt that the School of Music can,from the beginning, will pay a small return, and, ultimately. a satisfactory rate of interest on the outlay." It was proposed to organize a stock company with $25.000 capital stock to erect and furnish a building for the School of Music. Col". Dean, President Angelí, G. F. Allmendinger, Mayor Thompson, and others. spoke very encouragingly and enthüsiaatically of the project. The chair was authorized to appoint a committee to draft articles of incorporation.
