as much benefit to them as the actual

"One very Important feature of the
work of the Portland Symiiony orches

the beginning It has cooperated with
the schools of the city. At the final
rehearsal before ea?h concert there
never are less than 2000 school chil

the various schools of the city. A rec
ord was established when 1T30 from
one 'school were present at one of the
rehearsals during the season Just

advance as to what they are to hear by
talks prepared and delivered by W. R.

Interesting story of his material. The
value to the city of this educational
feature is by Itself quite Incalculable.
"As yet the orchestra has received
no direct support from municipal funds,
but inspired by the example of Balti

welcome and well deserved aid will te

There are one or two other special fea

STEIN WAY
The Biggest Piano Value
Th Steinway Piano is the work of many years and
of many people striving toward the same ideal. Eight
direct descendants of the founder of the Steinway
House are today actively engaged in building Steinway
Pianos four generations have contributed their tal
ents to perfecting this matchless instrument.
. J It takes at least a year to build a Steinway Piano,,
whereas other makes are built in four to six months. It'
costs from 33 1-3 to 50 per cent more to build a Stein-
way than any other Piano. A Steinway Piano will out
i last any other make. When you buy the Steinway, you
bay thm Be$t. The STEINWAY is universally ac
knowledged the STANDARD by which all other
PIANOS are judged.
q We urge you to inveitigatt all other competing
makes and compare them with the Steinway. If you
do not know what details of construction to investi
gate, we will gladly advise you beforehand.
tj Considering that the prices of competing makes are
almost, the same as those asked for the Steinway, the
purchase of a Steinway gives you the biggest piano
value and closes the avenue to future regret

ters of the city and vicinity are in
vited to a special Friday morning con
cert. Then at the last concert or eacn
season all the old people from the
charitable Institutions of the city are
specially invited guests.
"These are indeed unique features of
an orchestra's work, features, as said
above, all of incalculable benefit in ev
ery way to the municipal life of a city.
It is also a refreshing example of how
unionism among the musicians when
devoted to the support of a symphony
orchestra instead of to contention
with it for it is the union Itself which
founded and has continued this or
chestra can work to the best advan
tage not only of the musicians them

In commenting on the new work, a
Cincinnati correspondent says:
"To apply the term symphony to this
composition can only be Justified by
using the word in its widest signifi
cance. It is not a symphony even in
the generally accepted modern sense
of the term. This is not. to be under
