THE NORMAL CLASS ENTER
TANNED.

The Senior Normal Glass was en-
tertained with a musical at the resi-
dence of Miss Harriet A. Gibbs, AS
sistaRt Director of Music, Monday
evening, June s.
Miss Gibbs opened the programme
with an interesting talk, telling the
purpose of the musical course in the
educational system: that is it was not
only to give a rudimentary knowledge
OF music and methods of imparting a
knowledge of it to children; but she
wanted the pupils to be educated to a
higher appreciation of good music, and
to feel that its elevating influence
has touched their lives and helped to
shape them.
Miss Gibbs then interpreted Bee
thoVen's Sonata, while Miss Mamie
White illustrated by playing the theme
and the theme variations. Miss White
then played the whole sonata in an
exceptionally skillfuI manner.
Miss Gibbs then played, in her usual
Iy artistic way, Beethovens Sonata,
Opus xiv, number 2, interpreting it
and making it extremely entertaining.
Miss Mamie Onley then sang a solo en-
titled Remembrance. All then joined
In singing a group of entertaining
ch1ldrens songs, after which the pro-
Sramme was closed with a Gallon
caprice" played by Miss Gibbs.
After the programme refreshments
were served and the evening was ended
with an interesting game of imperson-
aIlng some OF the leading characters
III history, hct1on and everyday life.

The Decadence of the Art of Singing"

writes in the Berlin CTegenwaert that
at present there is altogether too much
singing. He holds that the dilletantism
of today is too broad in its scope, and,
IncOnSeQuence, there are 1nnumera bic
obstacles placed in the way of the
maintenance of good singing, and the
once fine art is being driven out Of the

mencement Of an interest in musical
matters in this country dates back to
the immigration of the English Quak-
ers in 1920. The Puritans brought
their psalm tunes with them; at the
same time that Handel and Bach were
influencing the art in Germany, this
primitive church music was making
Roadway in America. but the Puritans
were most anxious that the music OF
their church should maintain its spir-
itual character and all attempts to
secUlarize it were severely punished;
so that the play upon musical instru-
