The music teachers Of the state will
have full sway in Minneapolis. this
week, for Thursday, Friday and Sat
urday, June T., 8 and 8, will be devoted
to the fifth annual convention of the M.
s. M. T. A., whose sessions will be held
at Plymouth Congregational church.
1t is eminently fitting that the finale
in the long list Of musical events of the
last season should be brought about by
these ever faithful workers, the music
teachers, who, by their years Of loving
labor have imbued both young and old
with love for the worksao the mas
tiers. Thus they have created an appre-
eiative and music-loving public, max
ing it possible and profitable to bring
to the northwest the galaxy of artists
who come from year to year, not to
mention the appreciation given to the
best efforts Of local talent in concerts
that for artistic merit rank well with
and are often better than those given
by foreign artists. This year the state
talent concerts will If anything be of q

Minnesota composers will also be well
represented during the convention, for
a special program will be given to them.
These concerts have proved of great in
terest in former conventions, and will
benone~ the less os this year.
While the works of the state compos-
ers will naturally be confined to smaller
there are several interesting numbers
that will be heard for the first time.
Some of the names in the list of Min
nesota composers, otherwise familiar,
are now in this line, as, for instance.
Hamlin ii. Hunt and S. Clay Gilbert of
Saltwater, Harold G. Tregillius of st.
Paul, and Mrs. j. II. Burnham of Moor
head,
When to these concerts is added the
star attractions of the convention, the
appearance of the eminent barytone,
Charles w. Clark and Mary Angel, the
gifted pianist, it will be seen that the
association is to give itself a genuine
musical treat, one which is to be shared
for the sake of the good name of the
city as a musical center of the north
west, that the public will most gener-
ously support these concerts, and the
| Clark-Angell concert in particular.
Many predict the appearance of Mr..
| Clark as the vocal event par excellence
of the year. The praise accorded him
| by the foreign as we'll as the native
| press is extravagant to a degree, yet
those who have heard him recently are
unanimous in their opinion that what
has been said Of him is by no means
too much. s.
/ The week will be filed to repletion
with good things, which will appeal to-
all lovers of music as well as to music
teachers. The two organ recitals will
be given Thursday morning at 10 and
Friday morning at 10c30 by Q. B. Bass
of this city and Kenneth Runkel of st.
Paul, respectively. The Thursday after

talent, and the Friday afternoon con-
cert will be devoted to the works of
