The first monthly concert OF the
current session of the RogersvilIe sy.
nodical College was given last Friday
evening (Sept. 21st) in the college
chapel. A large and appreciative au.
dience greeted the performers. Prof.
Decker, the director Of music, rendered
some charming selections from the
masters Mrs. Decker gave some de-
iightiul music on the violin; Miss
Grace Truair, the teacher of vocal
music in the college, captivated her
audience by her splendid voice and
excellent rendition OF English and
Italian songs. She responded in
happy manner to the hearty encores
from her appreciative audience. The
10th session OF the college has opened
with good attendance and every
prospect of prosperous session. The
departments of music, art, modern
languages and literature are attractive
features of the college. The beautiful
compositions by Prof. Decker, pub
lished by Theodore Presser, have at
tracted much attention. The we'll
known fact that about 100 of the
graduates and students OF the college
are engaged as successful teachers in
the colleges and schools OF the coun-
try adds greatly to the reputation OF
the college. A diploma, from this
college, recently secured for its bearer
a position as teacher in the graded
schools Of Southern city over all
competitors. She was not eighteen
years old and had never taught, yet
she was awarded her certificate on
her diploma without examination.
This indicates the esteem in which
the graduates OF the college are held
by educators.
