<~~ _ OF SCHOOL MUSIC â€".AGE FOUR Survey Shows Excellent Results From Organization of Bands and Suth'Organiutions; Details Given BIGGEST ASSET, BELIEF The violin and the horn are being heard in more public high schools toâ€" day than -re«fhgolchtimg rounds lnd‘ choruses that used to brighten up ; Friday mornings. This statement is| based on theâ€"findings of a survey of[ 772 high schools in 48 states which showed that 89.2 per cent of the high ’ schools have an orchestra, a l:;nd, or both, while only 80.4 per cent‘reâ€" port having general chorus work.| Fifty Illinois high schools were among these contributing their exâ€"| periences to this survey. | According to the survey, 47 per cent of the high schools replying have both bands and orchestras, an additional 40.8 per cent have orchesâ€" tra only, while 1.4 per.cent have only bands. The remaining 10.8 per cent ‘ have neither. Forty per cent of thei schools participating have courses in | music history and appreciation_ That the percentage of these organizations which require the purchase of instruâ€" ments and formal instruction should. so much exceed that of general chorus work is significant and wouldl point to a recognition of the superior merit of such training from the standpoints of character development and general culture. Organized Recently Fully 67 per cent of the bands reâ€" ported in the survey had been organâ€" ized in the last five years, while the number of orchestras that came in existence in the same period was only slightly over 36 per cent. The apparent trend toward bands is exâ€" plained by the fact that to the 40.8 per cent of these schools already havâ€" ing orchestras, the organization of a band weuld be the next logical step in their music program. The oldest band uncovered by the survey was that of the Union high school, Red Bluff, California, where the band had been,in existence for twenty years. The orchestra there followed five years later. The oldest orchestra contioned, on the other hand, was feundcd in 1886 at the Lancaster, Pennsyivania high school. _ Three yoars ago a band was started which now numbers 65 pieces.
