The annual address of Mrs. w. S.

with deep attention.
In reviewing the years work of an
organization like the Schubert club"
she said, three questions would nat
urally be asked: What has been
done, how it has been done and was it
worth doing?' Only the last question
| need be considered
| Mrs. Briggs said that the task Of
the Schubert club officers had been
to keep up the high standards the club
had itself set, standard in pro-
grammes, in committee work and in
general high aims. This had been
| accomplished, she thought, and the
status of the club was now, as it has
always been, excellent. In referring
to the extra musicales given by the
Schubert club as treats" for its
| members, Mrs. Briggs said that the
| committee had sought to gauge it's
expenditures by its receipts. 1t had
considered primarily the club mem
bers in preparing such entertainments
| as had been given during the year. If
| the public missed the outside attrac-
lions that the club had formerly
brought to st. Paul, 1t should remem-
Der that the club was only able to
provide what public patronage war
.ranted.
Miss Elsie NJ. Shave, chairman of
| the programme committee, reported
that in addition to the three regular
musicales that would finish the clubs
season an evening musicale would be
| given, the programme to be announc-
| ed later.
Letters were read from the ST. An
thony Park Woman's club, the Thurs
| day club and the Grade Teachers
Federation thanking the club for in
| vitations presented for Schubert club
musicales. Mrs. Russell r. Dorr, Sec
ond vice president of the National
| Federation Of Musical Clubs with
which organization the Schubert club
is affiliated, gave a brief outline of the
| topics that will be considered at the
federations annual festival to be held
in Rochester, N. Y, in May.
The new officers elected by the
Schubert club yesterday will not en-
ter on the terms of office until Septem-
Der, but since all the elections were
reflections, there will be no formal
| induction of officers. This is the first
time in the history of the Schubert
club that it has held its annual meet
| Ing in February. Formerly, until the
| constitution was amended last year.
| these meetings We're held in Nav.
Mrs. W. S. Briggs presided at yester-
days meeting and seated on the plat
form with her were the other officers
| of the club.
