THE II. W. GREENE SUMMER
 SCHOOL.
SPLENDID PROGRAM MAPPED OUT FOR
 THE SUMMER.

At the H. w. Greene Summer School at BrOOktield Center coming events are casting their shadows before. There is great activity about the place in preparati tiOn for the increased number of pupils who are expected. The school is one of the pleasant features of Brook field life. and that it has in it the ele- ments of permanence needs no better evidence than the constant improve ments being made at MT Greene's sum- mer headquarters. The Homestead was opened in the middle of April and an air of life already pervades the town. The contrast between the quiet of win ter and the quick succession of musical events in the summer can hardly be realized by those not in the immediate vicinity. Among the additions to the resident artists this year are Miss Ruby Gerarde Braun, violinist. Miss Braun has played this season with Vic tor Herbert's orchestra at Pittsburg. and with the Grand Orchestra at the Metropolitan Opera House, New York, in both instances with great success; Sidney A. Baldwin, musical director of the Morristown Academy. MT Bald win is to be the professor of theory and will officiate at the Episcopal church organ during his stay in Brooktield; al- so J.. Edmund Skif, who has been heard in the two previous seasons at the school. MT Skiff has just returned from a year in Paris, where he has pur- sued the study of voice under the great est living master, G. Sbriglia, and or gan with Guilmant, who also holds that high distinction among teachers of or gan. MT Skiff will give talk during the season on his experiences as stu dent in the French capitol. In addi- tion to the Saturday afternoon series of concerts and recitals MT Greene has arranged for a course of lectures for Wednesday evenings. This course of lectures cannot fail of being the most attractive and instructive group of musical lectures ever given in the state. Dr Waldo s. Pratt of the Hartford Theological seminary will speak on Music in sthe Church Servlce. Prof N. H. Allen of Hartford will present a lecture on Early Music in Connecticut. Dr John Cornelius Griggs, professor of singing at Vassar college, will speak on the Early Music of the Jews, covering the period of Christ's life upon earth. Arthur Farewell of Boston will take for his theme the Characteristic Music of the native Indian tribes, and Pres ton Ware Orem of Philadelphia will give his famous lecture on the Con- position of the Orchestra, and during the course it is expected that w. O. l McFarlane, organist of St Thomas church, New York City, will give re- cital at the Episcopal church. MT Mo- Farlane is noted as composer of the first rank and occupies the leading position among American organists Louis Arthur Russell, the president o1 the Music Teachers Association O1
 New York, and also president of the
 Clef club of New York City, will give
 a lecture on the Advantages of Modern
 Musical Culture. Miss Gaia Aarup re
 tains the direction of the piano fort' department, and MT Greene of the
 department of singing. The lectures
 and recitals will all be free to pupil . and the public alike, and it affords
 rare opportunity for people in this vi
 cinity to hear and learn of the bes . there is in music.
