RECITAL BY CARLETON FACULTY

Seldom has "a larger audience gath
cred to a public entertainment In
Pennington than the one which at
tended the annual faculty recital of
Carleton College, given ut the Meth
odist Episcopal Church on Tuesday
evening. The large auditorium and
Sunday School room of the church
were inadequate to seat the six
hundred or more people present,
and many had to stand, while others
went away for lack Of even stand
ing room.
Prof. p. l.. McFerrin, who has had
charge of the piano department of
Carleton for the past two years, and
Miss Ruth Adams MCDOWELL, who
is starting her second year as in
structOr in voice and expression,
were well known to the audience as
artists OF more than ordinary abili-
ty. As heretofore whenever they
have appeared in programs, their
part Of the program had been looked
forward to with happy anticipation,
and their work was fully up to the
expectation OF their friends. In fact,
they were at their best on Tuesday
evening, and the audience fully ap-
preciated the fact that they have
come back for the new years work
even better prepared than ever for
efficient teaching, which fact is ut
tested to by their having already
started their respective departments
with large classes.
Prof. G.. Frederick Chase, who
comes as the instructor in the new
department, that of violin, appeared
for the first time before Farming
ton audience, and his work was pro-
nounced by those who really know
to have been that of master artist.
Prof. Chase il graduate of the
famous Hoffman, who has taken
pleasure IN personally recommend
ing him TO the people Of Farming
ton and vicinity as competent in
structor and finished musician, and
the approval he received Tuesday
evening was very enthusiastic and
encouraging. He has already started
his work with large number OF
pupils.
The audience vigorously npplauded
every number on the program and
by their behavior generally indicated
that the program was one of great
pleasure to them.
Profs McFerrin and Chase have
arranged to give programs in the
near future in Flat River, Desloge
and Bonnie Terre.

ELMwooD TEACHERS RECITAL.

The chapel of Elmwood Seminary
was filled with the friends and pa
irons of the school on last Monday
evening to hear the recital given by
Miss Clark, vocal and piano music,
and Miss Burruss. reading. The
programme was OF high excellence
and the numbers were all well re-
ceived.
Miss Clark needed no introduce
ton to Pennington audience.
For the past two years she has had
charge of the musical department of
Elmwood Seminary and has been
eminently successful in her work.
This has been evidenced by the de-
mands made upon her in outside
work, such rs concert and church
singing ms well as by the classes she
has had each year. These have been
filled and taxed all OF the time Mt her
disposal for teaching This year she
has already enrolled a large class.
Not considering her class work in
music, she has room for only about
six or seven more pupils for indi-
vidual instruction. Miss Clark Is
opening number was piano selec-
ton, Impromptu in G sharp Minor,
by Reinhold. Her playing showed
the finished artist. The six vocal
numbers displayed the quality and
control of her voice together with its
mastery of technique. There was,
If anything, an added charm to sing
ing and playing, IA sympathetic quail
ity that found response from her
hearers. Miss Clark has spent the
vacation period studying In Kansas
city, devoting her time to improve
ment in her chosen branch.
Miss Burruss, one OF the more
recent additions to the faculty, gave
n humber of fine readings. Her
introduction to n Pennington au-
dience was ,favorably received, and
frequent applause, insistent upon
en- cores, testified their approval of
her ability. Her selections covered
II wide range. From humor to pa
thos, leading her audience into both
laughter and tears. Her interpre'
tation and expression were excellent,

The enrolment in the High School
proper Is 81. This is six more than
was enrolled all OF last year, We
are delighted with this increase,
especially when we consider that
the enumeration IL not what 1t was
the year previous. The high school
training is valuable and we are glad
so many Of the boys and girls are
taking advantage of this opportu-
nifty, and feel sure they will never
regret 1t even though 1t may require
some sacrifice on their part or on
the part of the parents.
The energy, enthusiasm and pur-
pose of the teachers il very encour-
aging and the pupils are imbibing
this spirit. The future seems bright.
1t is to be regretted that the sup
ply Of books is not equal to the de-
mand. We had this difficulty to
contend with last year and hoped to
year, but we are in the same condi-
ton again.
1.-TWO Of the rooms are quite crowded
but this condition will be relieved In
few days. A new supply of desks
has been Oh the road since the
18th of last month and we are look
ing for them every day. These
seats, with few transfers, will re-
lleve the congested condition.
Steam heat has been installed in
the North Ward building. The
stove in the North Ward Is now Il
thing Of the past. The appearance
of the room has been improved.
The health and comfort Of the chill
dren Is worthy of consideration and
to this end the improvement has
been.made.
Quite number Of reference works
on history and literature have been
added to the high school library.
The High School is now in condi-
tion to do good work in all branches
with the exception of science. The
sciences will require laboratory
which cannot be equipped without
IA new building.
| Thoroughncss Is our motto. We
expect pupils to be regular and at
tentive to their school duties, stu
dious, gentlemanly and wOmanly in
their conduct. We do not mean by
this to deprive them Of any Of their
joys, pleasure, or youthful activi-
ties, so long as these do not inter
fere with the rights of others and
the effectiveness OF the school work.
We shall be delighted to have
patrons and friends come and in
spect the work that the teachers
are doing. Encourage the teachers
and the children frequently by your
presence. We are inclined to think
sometimes that the parents do not
have much interest In what Is going
on in the school room since they
are so seldom here. Just consider
that you have a standing invitation
and come ut your earliest opportu-
nifty. O. G.. l..
