Indiana plan to require music study in all schools
The state teachers' association at Richmond voted to urge the next legislature to compel every school in Indiana to teach music as a regular subject. Supt. Jones and Prof. Leckner note state-wide efforts, with large cities already teaching music and a dedicated instructor visiting schools weekly. If approved, all city and county schools would be required to provide music education.
