INSTRUCTION TO BEG|N SEPT. Is
Announcement BY Faculty Of Wesley
College Conservatory Of Music. Z

With the beginning of the academic
year Wesley college Conservatory of
Music will commence work, Offering
full courses in piano, violin, theory
and voice culture. with opportunities
for choir and orchestral work.
The school has found excellent quar-
ters in the Birkholz block, where It
will have ample facilities in the way
of studios, practice stalls, and reading
rooms.
This location will be advantageous
both for the city and for the univer-
sity. and the railroad facilities of
Grand Forks will make it possible for
out-of-tOwn students to avail them
selves of the advantages offered.
1t is the purpose of the school to
maintain high standards and to build
up conservatory which in point of
quality of work done shall be credit
to the state. The instruction has been
committed to a faculty small in num-
bers but of recognized ability. The
director, Professor George A. Stout,
and Mrs. Stout have just returned
from year of study in Berlin and
they now bring to their work new zeal
and enthusiasm.
Professor Stout has been pre-emi-
nently successful as musician and
teacher, and was for several years at
the head of the Genesee Collegiate In
stitute Conservatory of Music. The
past year he was the pupil of no less
an artist than the famous Scharwenka,
who say of Mr.. Stout: with great
diligence he combines marked ability
as musician and rare skill in the
Interpretation of the masters" OF Mr..
Stout's skill as a director, Professor
Max Grunberg speaks in high praise.
Mrs. Ruby Redmond Stout, who will
give instruction on the piano, has also
proved her fitness for her profession,
and now after year in Berlin, where
she received special recognition in
music circles, and is still better pre-
pared to fill her position acceptably.
The willingness of Professor and
Mrs. Stout to cooperate with the musi-
cal forces of the city augurs we'll for
the future, and We may reasonably
hope for gratifying results.
Instruction will begin September rs,
at the same time with the opening of
the university.

DEALERS NOTE LARGE PIANO TRADE
More Instruments Sold Here Than
Any Other City Of Similar Size.

Local dealers say the piano trade
of this city is larger than that of any
other city of the same size in the en-
tire country. This is especially true
of the retail trade. This line of trade
is SO large that in many instances in
struments which are shipped to this
city from the factories in carload lots
are sent direct to western points with
out stopping here at ALL
Asked for reason for this large
trade, dealers say the people who are
coming into this state at this time
are, as a rule, men of considerable
means as we'll as being men of fam
lilies. They are coming to make their
home here, to educate their children
and to surround themselves with the
comforts and Injuries of life. So
new homes, they purchase a piano.
If they do not have the money at once
they know that crop or two will
bring the required amount, and they
do not let the education and entertain
ment of the children suffer because of
the absence from the home of must
cal instrument.
Then there is another class of pur-
chasers who make considerable mar
ket for this class Of goods. 1t is COM
posed of those who came to the north
west with little of this worlds goods
and by industry and economy have
saved sufficient to afford the luxuries,
and they are determined to give their
children the advantages of their good
fortune and are surrounding them
with the refining and cultivating in
fluences of good music.
1t is easy to see from these condi-
lions that the piano trade in this
state is not only a large one now, but
it will not fall off until every farm in
the state-which means every quarter
section-is occupied by farmer who
is determined to make his home in the
state permanently and to educate his
family in its schools. He will most
certainly spend the profit on few
acres of his farm to place piano in
his home.

Back to the old school again" comes
in walls from every quarter.
Truly the little folk find it uncom-
monty hard to give UP the long play
hours which have made the Summer
days speed away at an incredible
rate.
For the child of wealthy parents
who is sent to a private school, there
is brief respite. the last week in
September being the usual opening
date.
But the public schools start at once
and in short time the Winter
routine will be in full force and the
youngsters who toll through geogra-
ply and plod arduously through the
mazes of the multiplication table will
remember the golden days of pad
ding, digging etc, only in hazy
fashion.
1t will seem as though they had
been working for weeks. SO quickly
does the childish mind slip back into
harness.
Wonderful Indian Summer is the
hardest thing with which parents and
teachers have to contend. Truly
studying is hard matter when every

But thanksgiving comes along very
quickly and then it is scarcely any
time at all until we are having
glorious romp through the Christmas
vacation. All the weather-wise people
predict a brisk Winter" with plenty
of shedding and skating.
After some brisk tussles out of doors
back to the desk and the steady grind
again, until Easter startles US into
realizing that Summer isn't very far
away.
II the boys and girls get plenty of
sleep and as much fresh air as pos
sible, there should be no headaches,
no cross answers, no peaked faces.

Shortly before three O'Clock this
afternoon fire started in the horse
barn on the Bacon farm mile and a
half north of the city. and before the
flames could be gotten under control
had burned every building on the farm
except the house. The origin of the
fire can not be determined at this
time, A large number OF horses and
cattle were removed from the barns
but at the time OF going to press it is
thought that some of the cattle per-
ished. Two barns With their contents
which included large quantities of hay
and grain are consumed.
The loss is estimated at $4,000. par
TALLY coverdNb by insurance. The build
ings burned are the horse barn, the
COW barn, the silo and the elevator.
The fire department of the city was
sent to the scene of the confagration,
but were unable to render any service
as the flames had then eaten up every
available portion of the buildings. The
buildings were of the most modern
character and were we'll built in every
way. Senator Bacon who owns the
farm is out Of town at this time, hav-
ing gone to Des Moines to attend the
meeting of the, National Association
of Hotel Men.
