Y. NJ. C.. A. NOTES.

Captain Randall has very kindly do
mated an exceptionally fine flag staff to
the Association.
The work at this point is to be both
local and railroad, and grand results are
sure to follow. Get ready friends, to
seize golden opportunities for the physi-
cal, mental, and spiritual betterment of
Island Pond.
President Roosevelt made the follow
ing statement in the presence of 1900
railroad men, delegates to the Eleventh
International Railroad Young Mems
Christian Association conference, held
in Topeka, Kansas, last April 30th to
May 3rd: ut needed no urging to get
me to accept your invitation. | hailed
the chance of speaking a few words to
you on this occasion, because it seems to
me that the Railroad Branch of the
Young Mems Christian Association ex-
emplities in practice, just exactly what |
like to preach, that is, the combination
of efficiency with decent living and high
ideals. The last time ever saw Gen
eral Sherman, he told me that in the
event of O war he could conceive of no
better fortune for general than to have
an army composed exclusively of rail-
road men, because their profession
means that they of necessity would make
great and successful soldiers the quail
ity of work, of facing risks, of facing
hardships, of combining the capacity to
obey and to obey quickly, with the ca
pacity of taking responsibility, of acting
on individual initiative, just as the need
arises. The railroad men of this coun
try are body entitled to the we'll wishes
of their fellow men in any event, but
peculiarly is this true of the railroad
men of the country who join in such
work as that of these Young Men.
Christian Associations, because they are
showing by their actions-and oh, how
much louder actions speak than words
that it is not only possible, but very,
very possible and easy to combine the
manliness which makes man able tc
do his own share of the worlds worl
with that fine and lofty love of ONE
fellow men, which makes you able t.
come together with your fellows, ant
work hand in hand with them for TIN
common good of all, for the common
good of mankind in general"

A MEMORABLE EVENT.

The home of Col. P. H. Dale was on
Thursday last the scene of a social event
that will long be remembered by the
participants. The spacious rooms were
crowded by ladies in response to an in
vitation extended by Mrs. Dale, who
thus kindly afforded an opportunity to
meet friend, Mrs. z. NJ. Mansur. This
was pleasure quite unexpected, as Mrs.
Mansur has recently been very i'll, and
that at such time she should think OF
her friends and undertake a tedious
Journey to crafty desire to see them,
was a proof of affection that went home
TO the hearts of each one. Never was
an hour more proftably spent. All be
came united in one sentiment,-tender
solicitude for this gracious woman who
has done more good than she knows
through her example of unseltishness. A
pleasing thought of the ladies entertain
ing was evinced in the preparation OF
souvenir commemorative of the OCCASION
which came as pleasant surprise to Mrs
Mansur. All who know her realize hel
interest and pleasure in the little glft'
visible proof of the great esteem telt oJ
all present for the friend never to be
forgotten. Although visibly affected al
times she endured the fatigue wonder
fully we'll, and when. we parted from hel
she seemed cheered and encouraged
and the next day departed for her home
in excellent spirits. 1t is the earnest
prayer of all that she may be spared &c
her friends for many years yet, and tina
all may have the pleasure OF meeting he
again. Such events are the golden Ink
in the chain of memory.

plant to make, no knowledge of infrac

visit to the various licensed places
where seemingly all requirements of tn
law were carefully observed,

KINDERGARTEN MUSlC.BUILDING.
The Science of Music for Children IA New
Feature at the College.

Arrangements have been make by the
music department of Alma college with
Miss Minnie Cheesman, Of st. Louis, to
conduct classes in Alma in new system
of musical training known as kinder
garten ic.building." Through a
simple, yet unique method, supplement-
ed by original games, songs and other
kindergarten devices, the child over
comes the usual difficulties of musical
notation and becomes we'll grounded in
the musical idea. Some Of the aims OF
this system are to start the child's musi-
cal education in rational and natural
manner; to teach the scientific rudi.
ments OF music In an interesting and
pleasant way TO train the ear so thor
oughly that the child learns TO feel and
think in music; to make him familiar
with time and musical signs and TO de-
velope rhythm. This is the only method
of its kind endorsed by the N. Z. Don.
servatory, Boston, where Miss Chees.
man has been pupil Of its originator,
Miss Nina Darlington.
In addition 10 her work in these
classes, Miss Cheesman will take pupils
in piano for either elementary or adj
vanced instruction. AS to her profici-
ency as teacher of piano the following
recommendation would seem to be con.
elusive The writer has been concert
pianist with Gerike, Van der Stucken
and Nikisch, the famous conductors of
the Boston Symphony Orchestra:
'Miss Minnie Cheesman, having
proved herself, while studying with
me, thoroughly musical and high
ly talented pianist, can warmly
recommend her as an able, consci.
encious teacher, with an infinite ca.
pacity for attention to detail and
musical phrasing."
