...impossible to study when "musical instruments" are being made use of in their neighborhood. We have spoken so often of this musical nuisance that it is with some hesitation that we again broach the subject, and yet, despite all that can be said, there are always a few men thoughtless enough to disturb those at work.

We would like...
