Year Book, and practically each ef the pre-

are given 'over to this subject. It I made th
theme of abort poem by Henry B. Jaynep,
a member of the Nebraska eooiety, wmoh
occupies space on the second cover page
and give th tone of th entire peri of
program, which ar divided, generally un
der th head, 'Under th LI Ilea of
France, n ''Under the Flag of Spain" and
Under th Stare end B tripes." Under th
latter division eom th programs dealing
with "Th Fathflndrg." "The Fur Trader"

The last meeting of th society was held
at th bom ef Draper Smith la thlp city

The nest meeting will be the most im

Again the studio building and concert or
recital hall haa bobbed up.
Will no one at least consider the IdeeT
la there no money in Omaha to be In
vested, or shall we musicians have to get
up an article to be published n th music
trades papers urging outside capital tn
look over ths ground In Omaha with a
view to putting up a studio building?
Omaha business men end Investors seem
to forget that with the growth of the city
there ha been also a tremendous growth
In the musical development and education.
Think of th dosens of teachers and the
hundreds of music pupils who are studying
In Omaha today, and then realise that
they were not here years ago, when the
corners which are now graeed by The Bee
building, the court house end the olty hall
were the foundations of steep clay em
bankments, and when three blocks from
the present high eeheol the notorious
"Hangman's Hollow" frightened tha be
lated pedestrian who happened to get o
terribly far away from town Of ft dark
flight.
Yee, there were na tu.dle then, pq re
cital halls, no large claaaea of pupils, no
choirs.
But w are llvi.ig in a different time now.
We are told that now is tha time for
Omaha to wake up. Wa are glad of that.
Wo had thought so for nmi time, end
had teen most persistently sounding th
alarum In dear old Omaha' drowsy ears.
In these days of prospective grain mar
kets let us be .ure to go "with the grain."
That Is for a greater Omaha. And let us
not forget that a greater Omaha means a
few things which cities half the else have
got. .
Ye., beloved, J had almost forgotten what
I started out to pay.
The studio question has bobbed up again.
How? you ask. Well, ft few years ago I
alluded, In thl. column, to the fact that
Mr. Oscar Oarelssen had tramped all over
this town trying to secure e suitable place
to teach. The latest 1. Mr. Ben Stanley.
He has hunted day end night for a atudlo
and has seriously thought of renting one of
those Waldorf Astoria Cafe-wagon, which
one occasionally sees and smell, upon th.
street corners. Mr. Stanley I. not even
trying to find a "suitable" place to teeoh;
all he want now Is a "place,"
I. not thl. a .hocking state of affaire, m
a olty of the else of Omaha?
It "goes against the Grain."
I firmly believe that If on had the time
or opportunity to get a docen musician
together who rent studio In various
blocks, end let one come posted with In
formation aa to how many musicians rent
(and pay for) room. In' that block, there
would be en astonishing showing. And
then if the organists were tq show ow
many pupils are paying for water rental.
during practice, hours, and how many
pupils they era obliged to decline through
want ef a publto organ to praotlce upon,
there would he ft surprising fund of In
formation. If' then, a statement of the
actual foots were made, and sent to on
of th papers of th trade, It seems that
purely pome results would accrue,
Here 1. Omaha, with over 100,000 people,
South Omaha, with 28,000, and Council
