Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1907-06-02

This year closes the eleventh tearm OF
ming with one or two pupils in the fall
of 1896 the school has built itself up by
the quality of work done until in the
year just past it has had enrolled, al
most the entire year, over ninety pu-
pills.
Being given standard by which to
judge, mainly by the fruits, Miss Bell
calls attention to the pupils of the
school, their musicianship, their mus
lcal understanding as well as their
I ability as performers.
It has been Miss Bells constant eff
fort from the first to give the very lat
est and most improved methods of
teaching. Five years ago she began
using the Faelten System, after taking a
course at the Faelten School in Boston.
This system was established with
something of struggle; today it is in
demand.
| Each year the teachers of the school
appreciate it more as they understand
better the principles underlying it.
The school has graduated but four
students in the eleven years of its
work, demanding a high grade of ex-
cellence of it's graduates.
The next class to graduate will be in
1909 and consists of four young ladies,
Miss Marie Jossey, Miss Louise Chap
man, Miss Sarah Cobb, Miss Matte
Bivins.
Miss Bell in her pupils recitals,
simply tries to show the work of the
pupils. No effort is made to force the
children in show pieces beyond their
ability; no effort is made to give con-
certs but pupils recitals, in order to
afford parents and friends opportunity
of seeing the childrens growth musi-
cally.
Below are the programs of the thre
closing Recitals Primary, Intermedi-
ate Advanced. Especial attention is
called to the Primary programme.
