There's nothing equivocal about
these young men. new comers from
ABROAD. and they do not hesitate to
attack big job. The result will be
watched with interest, dare say, and
IL they measure up to standards they
have set for themselves they will be
very valuable members of our musical
community.

large space on the program. and that
is interesting. The new school of
French composers is doing notable
things in music. and during the alb
sence of towering figure among the
modern writers there is chance for
any nation to set up q leader who
will be internationally recognized. The
last big figure in French music was
Caesar Franck. As yet his successor
has not appeared. Meantime the French
school of notes is turning out some
unusual and much artistic music. not
slavishly copied from existing forms.

siuve. If his music is rarely over

would rather be affected; at all costs
he will avoid the hackneyed and the
obvious.
But we were talking about the pro-
gram TO be given by Etlin and Mac
lean. Besides some modern French
music Etlin will play the Chopin 3 Flat
sonata with its funeral march move
ment, and the wind through the ceme-
terry trees. Also Richard Strauss will
have what is claimed to be the first
local presentation of his "Salome
Dance" in this city. In view of the
prevalence of the "Salome Dance" pla-
cards about town it may not be an
impertinence to suggest that this
event will be the piano solo Of that
name by the great scribe of disso-
nance, Strauss. Maclean will sing
some Hugo Wolf songs, "Biterolf' and
Weyla's "Gesang," two superb compost
tions; Liszts impetuous "Mephisto
Walter" will be played; a group of
Schubert and Schumann songs will be
given by Maclean, and the program
will close with Massenet's ''Malediction
d d'Alexandrie" from ""Thais," which will
be sung by Maclean-
The program is certainly monu-
mental in proportions and should at
tract a throng to the Christian Science
hail. The artists have announced their
intentions of remaining in this city.

this information about themselves:
Maclean studied for three years un-
der Jean de Reszke in Paris. and with
the latter's assistant, Oscar Seagle. His
voice is barytone. and is highly spoken
of in the French press.
Henri Etlin received the first prize
for piano at the Paris conservatoire.

pianist Diemer, one of whose compost

vention.
The other congress is that of the
Equal Suffrage league. which will be
held in California club hall on the I'd

league been so strong in number and
in spirit as now, and some important
steps toward gaining the ballot will
be taken during the days of the con-
vention.
The social science section of the Cali

cially this year in the school question.

aries and duties of the public school
teachers. The question why men of in

questions concerning the comparative
merits of men and women teachers
Miss Kate Ames addressed the members

season was held. Miss Ames proposes
to open her campaign against the pres

funds thus raised will be used for the
