COLLEGE NOTES.

vile College last September. She
came among us a stranger and we
knew nothing Of her except the very
high recommendation which she now
completely fills.
By her refined and winning ways she
has already won many friends in our
College.
Miss Perine is graduate of the Syr-
acuse University, New York, where
she finished very thorough course in
music Every one who is acquainted
with that university, knows that the
work there is thorough and Of the high
est standard.
! Miss Perine deserves much COM
mendation for the systematic and pro-
gressive work that is being accomplish
ed in her department
OF course, when stranger goes
into new place Of work, there is
more or less disadvantage until &C.
quaintance- ships are made, until there
is an investigation of the need and abil-
ity Of those who are taught, and until
certain places and methods are made
plain to the pupils.
But Miss Perine quickly overcame
any disadvantage along this line and
now has the music department in per-
feet working order, since it is one Of
Iher chief characteristics to have every
thing done in thorough and system
, attic order.
One new and very profitable feature
of the work is the introduction of the
class in "Theory of Music" which
comes free to all piano students and
at low rates to any outside ofthe instru-
mental department. Every one who
wishes to gain practical knowledge
, lin the theory of music, should take
these lessons, for they are very inter-
esting and profitable.
In this class the pupils are taught
the fundamental principals of music,
! how to analyze, compose, etc.
) There are already twenty seven pu
pills taking piano lessons and more
than thirty in the Theory Glass, and
some new ones enter almost every
week, The music room was re-car-
$ peted and painted last summer and
! the pianos were recently tuned, SC
that the music department is now do
ing excellent work.
: Considering the thoroughness in the
J instruction given by Miss Perine and
considering the cheap rates, every one
! who possibly can, should take advan-
tage of this extraordinary opportun
7 ity to gain a musical education.
