Of good character.
The candidate sends her name to
the secretary, together with the names
OF two members who are willing to in
dcrse her. The executive board then
decides upon her admission. If elected
to membership, the secretary notifies
her, and, after paying the fee, she is
given membership ticket and placed
on the associate list. This gives her all
the privileges Of the club, without the
voting power.
But in order to become an active
member, certain musical ability is nee
essary, and the club has method of
avoiding much of the embarrassment
connected with the test. If a lady de-
sires active membership she sends her
executive board alta specified time and
place. Here she is examined as to her
ability, without either seeing or being
seen by the members of the executive
committee. She either sings or plays
for them on the opposite side of cur
tain. and the committee then very silent
ly cast their ballots. No more active
members will be received during the
present club year, however, except on
Lie special lIlN lLdtiOu VI Tie executive
board, while no restriction is placed
upon associate membership, for there
is no limit as to numbers.
The fee for associate membership is
IS, for active membership 81. This fee
must be paid within two months Of the
opening of the years work. Active
members must do the work assigned
them, which consists of the rendering
OF some part about twice during the
year. There are alternatives Of provid-
Ing a substitute acceptable to the COM
mittee, or paying a fine. Members Of
the chorus class must pay a fine for
absence or hardness. and cannot be
absent three times in succession un-
less there be an accepted excuse. A
violation of these obligations means re-
1nquishment of membership in the club.
The membership fees and all fines
are used for the direct benefit of the
club itself, in conducting its business
and to pay lecturers and musicians
whose services are obtained for it.
The regular club meetings, beginning
each year with the first of October and
extending into the first week Of May,
are held every fortnight at Conover's
hall, on Wednesday,, at $3.50 p. m. To
all Of the regular meetings any one
may come on Invitation and by the
payment Of fifty cents. People from
out Of the city are Invited free of
charge. Two or three times during the
year evening musicals are given, to
which each member has the privilege
Of inviting a friend
The studio at Conover hall, room 50,
is open to all members. Here piano,
musical periodicals and the music Of
the club are kept for their use.

at the home of the president and the
meeting has more of social character
than at any other time perhaps while
the close Of the year is marked by the
annual meeting at which the election
of officers is held.
At the beginning Of each year little
pamphlet is sent out, containing a re-
sumo of the work Of the preceding
years and an announcement for the
coming one in the form of running
outline Of what is proposed.
The study Of the different schools of
music as represented by special mu-
sicians, the study or orchestral music
and folk song have been some of the
subjects presented. Last year the club
had the services of Miss Villa White,
Miss Frances Densmore and H. e.
Krehbiel, as lecturers. Miscellaneous
programmes are interspersed with
those having special themes.
One prominent feature Of the club is
its chorus class, conducted by Samuel
Baldwin from it's origin until the pres
ent year, when it was transferred to
the management Of Miss Elsie Shaw.
The class numbers forty members,
meeting every week in the studio at
Conover's hall. Any vocalist among
the active members can enter the class,
and membership is required of some.
A work of special interest Is that
which has given rise to the educational
lean fund. This had its beginning in
the winter of 1928 with the proceeds
Of a series Of ARTISTS concerts" the
object being to render assistance to
those young women Of st. Paul who
have superior musical ability, but lack
the means to proceed with their mu-
steal education. Three young women
have already prof1ted by this fund,
which has reached the sum of 81, 524,
with about $500 at present in the treas
ury. Miss Ella Richards, who has had
the use of sS25, was helped to the privi-
Iege of study in Europe, and a benefit
concert was given her last autumn by
the club, thus aiding her in repaying
the loan. Miss Louisa Taylor, study
ing in Chicago under the instruction
Of Mr.. Spiering; and Miss Jennie Nor
row, studying with Mr.. Harrison Wild,
are both being helped by this fund.
It is pleasant to know that the club
exercises considerable supervision over
the surroundings Of these young wom-
en-, the president keeping in CORES
pondence with them, and doing all in
her power to see that their surround
ings are pleasant, and morally and
physically healthful. The friends of
Miss Morrow, who knew her as organ

ity taken into consideration, but ener-
~ also, and many other points are

1884. Unlike many other clubs that
bear a worthy name, the Schubert club
has survived the danger of degenerat-
ing into a mere social function, and is
a working organization, carrying out
the objects stated in it's constitution:
First, to study and practice the best
music; second, to advance the interests
and promote the culture of musical
art in the city Of st. Paul.
A very furnishing condition was
reached during the winter Of 1892 '93,
and in the succeeding summer Mrs.

Usually there is q reduction Of % or
