The Wichita Musical club is Tehears-
ing weekly the music for the prize con-
test, if the new gambling law doesn
interfere, at Hutchinson Whether It
is the best possible use of the time, may
be questioned, for although the attain
ment Of technical perfection in music
IS desirable, yet the time spent IN this
training would give the club good
number of beautiful pieces and the re-
hearsals would be more than valuable
and enjoyable.
The club does not need the stimulus
of a prize contest as they are in music
for music's sake and for no other reason
