they owed a duty TO those not blessed
with that same gift. Tho object in view
is to foster the study Of music throughout
the state, raising the standard of needed
reforms and progressive measures.

held In Hartford two years ago and the
second in this city last year.

ander s. Gibson, Waterbury; secretary
and treasurer, A. j. Wilkins, Bridgeport;
vice presidents, New Haven county, +. A.
