tftsreasia'. not eWrsased, the attendance nt

phtlo declaration or' ailbert TUynolds
OmM, director of th Comb Conservatory
f Music, today.
''Alt such mechanical reproducer of
tnusle have aMed vis," Mid Jlr, Combs "Kor
no thlrwr, lhy have spread muslo lirond
east ever the country nnd take It Into
rrti oJT tha community which It hud never
reached bsforo. For another, through their
popularity of thif better clues of records
they have effected n gradual nnd general
uplift In musical taste.
"But talking machines and plajor-itlsno-ean
never take tha place of the human ele
ment; can never be other than mechanical,
too matter how great .their technical perfec.
tlon. And ao, tha people, after having; their
interest In muslo thui arouaed and their ap
petite for tt. thua stimulated, come In great
er numbers than ever before to the achools
of personal Instruction by as much an the
new irom -winch they come lias been
widened."
Ths best tangible proof of this Is thrA the
expansion of the Combs Conservatory has
led Mr. Combs to acquire another building
for this year through which to relieve the
congestion of the four others which he al
ready owns. This is a four-story modern
bouse at HI 9 Booth Broad street It I
of necessity separata from the others, which
are located It 1S17 to 1331 Houth Urond
atreet and list Bouth Juniper atreet, nnd
connected by nn underground tunnel, but
being so closa In the same block It will
be, of course, an organla part of the school.
It Is the second annex added to the orig
inal buildings at 1127 to 1331. tho Juniper
atreet house being ths first annex.
On the ground floor of this new building
ts a large classroom equipped with prac
tice tables for finger exorcises and a doten
vlrgil claviers or silent pianos, which Mr,
Combs uses In connection with his own
method; a. large tnuslo studio and n rulto
for tuning panos. On the second floor
another classroom Ilka tho first and simi
larly equipped, a. vocal studio nnd, the per
sonal studio of Miss Adelo lludnot, first
assistant to Mr Combs nnd In general
charge of tho school under his supervision.
The third and fourth floors wilt be used as
teachers' dormitories.
The large classrooms In the second an
nex will be utilised for theoretical ns well
an practical work, and In them musical
science, technique, sight singing and ear
training, harmony and counterpoint, orches
tration, musical analysts, psychology nnd
memory training will be Riven Their addi
tion has enabled Mr. Combs to Install a
number of new studios In the old buildings
by division of the rooms there formerly
used for the same purpose.
At the Penn Charter and Friends' Select
Schools complete systems of no-shadow In
direct lighting have been Installed during
tha summer, In addition to extensive reno
vating and repainting of the rooms In
volved. Penn Charter Is also starting the
year with a, row cold lunchroom, whero
soups, sandwiches, hot chocolate, eta, will
be served. It Is Intended that this shall
supplement the regular dining room of the
fechool by providing adequate light refresh
ments for thoss who do not wish the hot
full table d'hote dinner of the dining room
A number of new appointments huvo
been made this year to tho faculty of Drexel
Institute, whlchr It Is expected will both
strengthen tt Intensively and enlarge It to
keep pace with the greatly Incrcised at
tendance at the institute. The new ap
pointees are; II. It. Iiarnes, A. M, as
