Rather, each pupil is chosen to attend the concert which features an instruâ€" ment in which he is especially inâ€" terested. This allotment system has another advantage, Mrs. Canâ€" mann pointed out, in that it could be possible for as many as 1,000 North Shore children to hear the series if as many as 200 scholarâ€" scholarship possibly could cover five different pupils.
