corps of teachers practice has been car
ried on during the winter throughout the
District schools in the seventh and eighth

or seven hundred selected voices have been
brought together for final drill. So thor
ough has been the teaching and so COM
plete the mastery of the score that the en-
tire program is sung without the aid of
sheet music, the eyes of every singer be-
ing upon the director to follow every in
dication of shading. Miss Bentley has been
assisted in the training of the young sing
ers by Mrs. Byram and Mr.. Hoover, the
latter at the piano.
The program Is one of wide range in
Guiding several OF the musical classics, as
well as songs of patriotism, lullabies, and
spring songs. Among the selections will
be "Hark, Hark, the Lark by Schubert;
be ''Hark, Hark the Lark" by Schubert;
The Bridal Chorus" from Lohengrin;
"Larghetto' from Beethovens Second
Symphony, arranged by Edgar Stilman

acter will be Vogel's Spring Song"
THE Starry Night by Tippett. My Nan
MES Voice" LOOMS; wind of the Sea-"
by Clayton Johns. and Fairy Lullaby" by
Mrs. Beach. The patriotic songs will in
clude "Tenting Tonight and Dixie"

ting Of the executive council is to be held in
the near future. at which a constitution will

monthly dues, regular meetings, commit
tees, etc. made.
Much Of the time of the last meeting was
devoted to a discussion of whether or not
to postpone the election of officers of the
league until future meeting when a more
representative attendance could be secured.
The debate was spirited at times 1t was
finally decided that the sooner the move
ment was put on a permanent and substan-
tial basis by the election of officers and
the adoption of a constitution the better
the campaign could be conducted E. ].

sion.
DR.. Robert Reyburn, chairman of the leg
dslative committee. reported that a request
was made of the House District committee
for a hearing on the Keifer suffrage bill,
which was introduced at the request of the
organization. 1t was added by DR.. Rey-
burn that he received a letter In reply, but
It was very non-committal as to a hearing.
Several suggestions as to the methods OF
conducting the suffrage campaign were
made. One speaker suggested that the
members OF the league visit the various
representative organizations of the District
and talk suffrage to their members. An
other thought that all labor organizations
throughout the country should be asked TO
take up the movement and send petitions TO
their respective representatives in Congress
to vote for suffrage for the District.
