The director of the Osborn Conservatory of Music has carefully canvassed everr'noint.

"' : '.. .,'?' .. 'r-:1 ' Experiments are expensive. To buy a piano would cost you from $300 to $1,000, and a violin fromv$2S to $d W muciT' higher, besides paying for private instruction from $2 to $5 a lesson. This was not only a handicap to many on account of the expense but discouraging on account of the long practice required. Believing the mandolin the proper instrument to fill the place to the best advantage as it was recognised to be the easiest to learn, then the next thing to consider waa to bring down the cost of teaching. Why not classes? We received our education in the public school in class. After giving a few lessons in class the results were so satisfactory that the Os born Conservatory of Music has continued to push forward the mandolin. By building the foundation of a musical education on the man dolin, thousands of people have made a success of music who would have made a failure had they taken up a more difficult instrument ,v"u 7 w' n"ve Pn:a our system or class teaching until today we stand alone, the largest conservatories in the United States, with a total enrollment of more pupils on the mandolin than all other conservatories combined. .On July 31, 1900, we had 6.000.
