T. That all teachers should az
far as practicable, devote themselves
to the study Of vocal music that thew

to be held, that they be held at the
State Schools, Hill Top Seminary and
Storer College.
4. That we recognize in our State

trust committed to him and heartily
endorse his progressive form of ex-
animation. We heartily approve of
the effort on his part to have the

ers to take the advantage Of 1t. We
realize that this Institute has brought
us much practical information that
will enable us to do better work in

keep ourselves abreast with the
times:
