1902; Robert B. More. 1908; Robert
". Campbell, 1904, and the present
commander. Philip D. Code, whose
term expires in 1905. Much of the
remarkable success of the command
cry is attributable TO the Jealous and
efficient services of these able and ex-
perienced officers; much also resulted
from the care and fidelity exercised by
Sir knights Samuel Swift, Charles l..
Thomas, William 7. Fonda and the
incumbent. Theo Frolich, in the po-
sition of recorder. In a commandery
there is no position of greater respon-
sibility or fraught with more import
ant duties than that of recorder, nor
is there any more influential for good.
Golden Gate seems to have fully rec
ognized this fact in the selection of
these officers.
Starting with forty three members in
1881, the total enrolment is now 705,
or an average annual increase of about
thirty. This is a most Hattering show
ing and speaks well for the general
character of the ccmmandery. Deduct
ing the names of those who, by death
or other causes, have ceased to be
members, there emain. about 500
names upon the roll of the COM
mandery.

Some School Notes.

The School board at its last meet
ing, lected Miss Pehler graduate of
the Detroit Normal and Training Col
lege to teach vocal music in the pub
lie school. Miss Pehler has many
recommendations, among them one
from Mrs. Thomas, who, for 20 years
has been supervisor of music in the
Detroit schools. Miss Pehler is now
and was asst year Mrs. Thomas as
sistant in those schools. The Detroit
schools are noted for vocal music and
that city can easily get out trained
choruses of thousand or more
voices.
