The fifth students’ concert yester- @ay at Central High School was de- yoted to the music of Scandinavia and England. Dr. Hans Kindler put the children into the mood of listen- ing by explaining the national char- Bcteristics of these countries as ex- ressed in music, pointing out the in- Euence of older world - famous com- ers on the leading musicians uf! ?l?: different periods. The reasons for the choice of num- bers for the program was next ex- lained. The slow, stately music of Eurce]l opened the program as indica- tive of the more ceremonious tempera- ‘ment of the seventeenth century, the orchestra playing his impressive %Grave” and the “Suite for Strings.” | Josen’s story of “Peer Gynt.” which was the inspiration for Grieg’s “Suite’ of that name, was eloquently told Py Dr. Kindler so that the four move- ents, “Morgenstimmung,” “Ase’s Death” and “Anitra’s Dance” and *Hall of the Mountain King,” played as illustration of the famous Nor- egian's music, were associated with the principle events of the story in definite manner. The final number was received with such enthusiasm that it had to be repeated. Folk Songs by Contralto.

The “Musical Instrument Tour, Which is a feature of these concerts, yeached the woodwind section, demon- strations of tone quality and range being given on the flute, oboe, clarinet and bassoon by the first players of these instruments in the 'orchestra. In the “Praeludium,” by the Finnish ‘tomposer, Jarnefelt, which followed, the four instruments carried the theme pne after the other. - Sibeltus, whom Dr. Kindler named the greatest living composer, was described as being the most potent influence for freeing his country from Russian domination. The various descriptive elements of his “Find- landia,” the last number of the Scan- dinavian group played by the oxjches- tra, were pointed out to the children | and further impressed upon them by | the story of its suppression by the Russian government as being too revo- lutionary in spirit. Two English Works. The concert concluded with the works of two English composers, Percy Grainger's “Irish Tune From County | ‘Derry” and Sir Edward Elgar's ta: mous “Pomp and Circumstance” march.

The largest zhare of the agricultural projects, which make up 1,500,000 acres of the total, is 725,- 000 acres in Montana. In Scuth Da- kota, 400,000 acres have been op- tioned; in North Dakota, 325,000, and in Wyoming, 50,000. ! Johnson said plans for returning most of the 1,500,000 acres back to grazing or pasture land are progress- ing. Some of the land can resod it- self in four or five years; some may have to be planted to grass. Once more in grass, the tracts probably will be leased for grazing to associa- tions of adjoining farmers and stock- men. No reasonably productive lands are being bought by the Government, and many oases of farmlands will remain within the areas of Federal retired acreage. DAVID G. MARCH 10, 1935—PART ONE.
