Big Contracts for Orchestra and Band Instruments
for Schools Closed by Conn Boston Co.
The Conn Boston Co , keeps up its activities in
promoting bands and creating band interest in the
public schools. The recently announced awards for
the purchase of musical instruments for use in pub-
lic schools of Boston, showed that the bulk of the
business went to the Conn Boston Co., located in
the Hotel Statler Building. Other firms of this city
in the music business which shared in a smaller de-
gree in the city's business were Hanry Savage,
the Oliver Ditson Co. of Tremont Street, the Carl
Fischer, Inc., and Nokes & Xicolai, drum manufac-
turers.
The contract to supply the band and orchestra
instruments is important since music in the Boston
school has become a most important feature of the
high school curriculum. Fach high school has its
band, orchestra, and fife and drum corps, and a school
symphony band, made from the best players of all
the high schools, is the outstanding organization of
the city. Classes in all instruments have been formed
at the different high schools, and instruction by com-
petent teachers is part of the day's work. Ten years
ago there was nothing of this nature in the Boston
schools, but in the last five years the activities of
promotion have been rewarded.
FACTS FROM SURVEY.
A survey by the Curtis Publishing Company indi-
cates that approximately 37 per cent of the homes in
the United States have no electric service from cen-
tral stations. This 37 per cent can use only battery-
operated radio sets. The report gives an idea of the
value of the battery market. If one-tenth of the
homes provided with 110-volt 60-cycle A. C. current
buy battery sets, 49 per cent of the total yearly sales
of radio equipment will be battery sets and 51 per
cent A. C. sets. If one-fifteenth of the homes wired
for 110-volt 60-cycle current buy battery sets, the
yearly sum total will show 7 47 per cent battery sets
and 53 per cent A. C. sets, while if only one-twentieth
buy battery receivers 46 per cent of the yearly
total will be battery operated and 54 per cent A. C.
operated.
