WICHITA WANTS 1T
Effort WIFI be Made TO Get Next
Meeting of Music Teachers Here.

Next Monday and Tuesday, April %
and %, the State Music Teachers asso-
citation will hold its meeting in Topeka.
The first session will open at p. m. on
Monday, at the First Congregational
church, and will consist of an address
of welcome and a response, president s
address, business and an address by
Prof. George B. Penny of the State Uni
versity.
In the evening Topeka talent will fur
nish the concert. and it will be very
enjoyable and profitable event of the
meeting.
Tuesday from a. m. will be used very
fully in round-tsble discussions, recitals
and business.
Mr.. Sigfried Lspham of Lindsborg and
Miss o. Agnes Lapham Of Chanute, who
has lately returned from study in Ber-
lin. win each give plano recitals.
On Tuesday evening will occur the Sec
ond concert, which will be miscellaneous,
/ the following a few of those who viii
appear on the program: Mr.. Laurin,
Miss Lapham. Mr.. Preyer OF the State
University and Miss Harris OF Manhat-
tan; Mrs. J. Abbott-Clark Hogan, juno
ton City violinist; Mrs. Cora z. Brown,
Manhattan, harpist; Mrs J. A. Klein
haus, Topeka; Mrs CASTOR Boyd, New
ton. vocalists.
One question that VIII come up at the
meeting Is: Where Shall the Next
Meeting Be HEIDI" It lies within the
reach OF Wichita If the musicians Of
the city will interest themselves SUI
fciently to show that they are alive TO
the work of such an association. Miss
Clark and Prof Marshall viii both ap-
pear on the program as Chairmen Of
round table and VIII do all in their
power for Wichita, but there ought 70
be a large representation from this. the
largest city in the state. and one in
which at least forty teachers of music
reside. Two days spent in this way can
not but be helpful to every teacher and
the expense is moderate. A day and
half in Topeka and car fare, which will
doubtless be one and one-third fare, viii
be the whole amount Of expense, except
the membership fee of one dollar. If
those who cannot go will become mem
bers by sending their names and one
dollar to Miss Anna Parry Bundy, To-
peka, or by handing It to Miss Clark or
Prof Marshall, who will attend TO it.
it viii be a very effective method OF
showing Wichita's interest and help the
representa- tives TO bring it to this city
next year.
