POPULAR SINGING CLASSES

/, Last week closed the season devoted
to the popular singing. classes turnout
the city, which were inaugurated last
fail. While the attendance was not as
large as had been hoped, the students
enrolled made up in earnestness and
study the lack in numbers. Of the
thirteen classes started ten completed
the course, with an average attendance
of 10 per cent of the enrolment. The
reduction in numbers was caused by
consolidation, three of the Instructors
being obliged, thru stress Of circum-
stances, to give up the work. -
: As it is, the small tuition fee has
paid the rental of the chapels and has
left small sum over for the instruc-
tors, much smaller sum than they
would engage to do the work for, from,
a professional standpoint, but sufficient
in view Of the. great educational value
of their labors. 49,.
The season 8 study has been uniform
in all the schools and has been strictly
a campaign in sight reading. In many
cases essays were prepared under the
supervision of the teacher, and the
question box proved a valuable adj
.junct. The sessions have been devot ID
to hard work and the social features
