RETURNS FROM WEST.
Miss Bentley Resumes Training Of
Public School Chorus

Miss Alys E. Bentley, head Of the depart
ment of music Of the local public schools
has just returned from a trip to Keokuk,
Iowa. where she attended a meeting of pub
lie school music teachers from all over the
United States.
She has resumed the work of training the
public school chorus of 500 picked voices for
the festival of song that is to be given at
the New National Theater May 16 and IT
next for the benefit of the public school
Fairgrounds fund under the auspices of
the Washington Fairgrounds Association.
While in the west Miss Bentley stopped
in Chicago and visited the School of Edu-
cation, giving a recital at Foster Hall. Her
trip taught her, she says, that this city Is
much behind Chicago and other western
cities in the matter of school accommodate
tion-buldings, etc. She believes that with
respect to the teaching force and the re-
suits achieved Washington has every right
to be proud of its public school system
The fourth week of the rehearsals for the
festival of song has begun. The chorus is
being trained in large number of selec-
tons of high class.
In her work of training the chorus Miss
Bentley is being assisted by Miss Edith
Wescott, principal of the Western High
School; Mrs Frank Byram Miss Sally
Mason. Mr.. Halstead p. Hoover Miss Leila
Brown, Mrs. Cordelia johnson, Miss ANY
Simons, Miss Edith Swan. Miss Nellie
Mack. Miss Lucy Lynch, Miss Leta Bent
ley Mr.. Charles Finkel and others all of
whom are connected with the schools
Arrangements are being made to provide
an appropriate orchestra for the concert.
