Department Of Music
PROF. STEPHENS IN CHARGE
VIII Give Conductors Training Glass
For Choir Lesders-Other Muei-
claus Engaged ~ Teachers'

The board OF trustees of the Latter
day Saints university has decided TO
offer instruction in music beyond what
has hitherto been given. Upon the rec
ommendation of President Paul, Prof.
Evan stephens has been authorized to
give a course Of training in vocal music
to choir teachers, conductors and d.
rectors Of singing in general. This fea-
ture of the new music department VIII
probably be OF the widest interest and
usefulness. In almost every town In
the west there are persons VINO occupy
the useful and interesting position OF
directors Of musical events or leaders
OF ward and church choirs. The art
of leading these musical organizations
Is one OF considerable delicacy, and re-
quires both tact and talent as well as
a good degree OF musical education.
Prof. Stephens, who Is recognized as
one of the most successful of choir lead
ers and musical directors, has con-
scented to give the results OF his ex-
perience and knowledge TO the work OF
training choir leaders In the art OF con-
Quoting as well as In mns,cal interpre-
tatiOn and rendition. This class VIII
be trained In vocal music, sight read
ing, methods of teaching IN the organ
liza ton and drill work of amateur and
children's classes, and In certain special
phases OF the music conductors art.
The instruction will be especially adapt
ed to all that may have the handling
OF ward choirs and church music. and
viii contain much that Is novel besides
the results of the experience OF the
older masters and writer's.
Many Of those who may take the con-
ductors training class will be persons
already versed In sight reading and In
the elements Of the theory OF music,
For this class. Mr.. Arthur Shepherd, the
composer, viii give a course In har-
mony and composition and In other
advanced lines. Mr., Charles Kent, the

ment. Miss Cecilia Sharp, the pianist.

AMERICAN TRACT
SOCIETY REPORT

New York June 2O.-The seventy
sighth annual report OF the American
Tract society was made public today
and states that in this society a con-
Bensus has been reached as to what the
Bible teachers on many, II not all es-
sential points, as held in common by
the several evangelical denominations,
in printing az in various forms and
many languages and in sending 1t to the
people In all quarters Of the globe.
The new year begins With revenue
from rentals from the society's building
which will yield a considerable sum
available as a sinking fund toward re-
moving the burden Of debt.
The new publications, distinct from
periodicals brought out by the society
during the year are So In number. OF
these 80 were volumes and 20 tracts.
The society is now publishing seven
periodicals-four in English, two in Ger
man and one an Spanish.
The average circulation of periodicals
buring the year has been 100000.
Union missionary colportage finds
among the immigrants anarchistic or
gnnization, infidel literary men, bitterly
hostile to Christianity and grossly i'm
moral and catechlsms for the young.
Colportage among the immigrants In
cities has been diligently prosecuted.
The gospel has been published I'm lb5
languages and dialects and the COL
porteurs and gratuitous distributors
distribute II far and wide among the
people. The demand for Christian lit
erature In the mission stations through
out the world Is greater than II has
been for three quarters of a century.
On the Pacific coast colportage has
q peculiar power in the families
Church-going and Sabbath keeping are
less than In most states.
Over 100000 missionary colporteurs
have been commissioned in more than
80 years Of the soclety's activity In the
Mississippi valley to carry the gospel TO
the homes of the settlers In the Wild
est regions of our country. Out of
70.130 families $3.50 We're found last year
destitute OF all religious literature; $3.50
were found destitute OF the Bible, H.
$40 were found that never went TO re-
llgious worship. over 325,O0O In cash
have been sent to India for printing the
gospel in many OF the varied languages.
The whole number of publications ap-
proved for circulation at the soclety's
expense is 5,OlS including 912 volumes:
and the society and the institutions II
thus aided have issued publications in
15b languages and dialects.
The society has expended In II years
In creating Christian literature for
Turkey including the Armenlans and
Jews and for Greece, $ll1,1g9 In cash
grants.
