A Sunday School Orchestra.

The magnificent success Of the Wendt
Orchestra, and the congratulations and
praise bestowed upon it from all sides
has stirred up the lovers of music in
Canton to such a degree that even the
little folks are giving their musical
studies closer attention than ever be-
fore The result of this love for music
has given Canton another orchestra
composed of young people, members
of the M E. Church Sabbath School
and Junior League, and this 'charming
little musical combination made it's
first appearance in the Sabbath School
Sunday March 90 Many of the church
members remained to hear the youthful
musicians and they we're delighted
with this loveable and charming fea-
ture. Superintendent E. L. Wendt
opened the service with q hymn and
the orchestra and organ furnished the
instrumental part of the program.
Several hymns were sung and the or.
chestra played like veterans. 1t was q
trying ordeal for the little musicians,
but they passed through it with won
full success and deliberation. They
knew that trained musicians were lis
tsning to them but they kept right on
and finished in fine shape. This charm
lug little musical combination is
composed of seven member: Wilmot
Walter and Eveleen Tucker, first violin
Verona Swickard. second violin; Mill.
ard Kennedy, clarionet; Zoe Wendt and
Julia Buchister, cornets: and Edna
Walter, pianist. It is real treat to
watch these youthful musicians handle
their instruments-so calmly, 80 com.
posedly. 50 artistically. They played
last Sunday and will play Easter Sun.

that occasion. This musical feature in

Practical Track and Field Athletics"
places stress upon the moral and phys
ical advantages to be derived from reg
ular and moderate exercise as opposed
to merely professional athleticism. In
recent newspaper interview, upon his
appointment as chairman of the Boston
school board, Mr.. Clark said: My
idea, as you no doubt know, is that
physical training and mental instruction
should go hand in hand" Among the
reforms proposed by the new chairman
are:
First-The institution of track ath-
letics in the public high schools.
Second-The thorough investigation Of
the system of physical training now in
use in the public schools
Third-The establishment Of closer re-
lations between the mental and physical
training courses in the public schools.
A particular feature of the new book
are the illustrations. The authors have
made complete collections Of the best
work Of leading photographers and have
had access also to the largest neWspape
collections; representing altogether the
best work yet done in the field Of in
Simultaneous photography. From these
have been selected about fifty photo
graphs made into half-tOnes, showing
all the famous athletes of the day in
the actual performance of their particu-
