NORWAY.
Christiania, Dec. 15, 1912.
Our theatres have no governmental subsidy. Music in the public schools is a local not a federal matter.
We have no conservatories of the usual European type but there are smaller music schools and schools for organists which are in part subventioned by the State.
What the State spends for purposes of music can be described as follows:
| Crowns | |
|---|---|
| Military Music annually | 160,000 |
| Subvention to composers | 5,200 |
| Subvention to other musicians | 6,000 |
| Music schools | 4,500 |
| Total, annually | 175,700 |
Most respectfully,
Ole Oleson,
Army Inspector of Music.
