Cultural Note

If symphony orchestras are signs of culture, the U.S. is showing more culture than ever. A tabulation by the American Symphony Orchestra League shows that in 1951 there were 702 such orchestras in the U.S.--125 of them in cities and towns of less than 25,000 population. Prior to 1900, there were only nine orchestras in the whole country.
