Miss Turner,a Piann Reoltal

Miss Florence Turner, daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. H. r. Turner. was pre-
sented. in a senior pianoforte recital
by the Fargo College Conservatory of
Music at stones hall last Tuesday
evening under auspices which must
have been most gratifying to the young
lady and the 500 or more friends who
were present to greet her.
Miss Turner's programme was one
which was pleasant to contemplate. 1t
began with group of classics, the
first prelude and fugue in C minor,
by Bach; Allegro, from Sonata, op q.
No. 8. by Beethoven, and Weber's In
vitation to the Dance. Her interpre-
tations We're characterized by dignity
and fine musicianship, and she dis
played care in her technique. Her runs
were remarkably velvety and delicate.
The sonata was given an exception
ally good performance in the hands of
so young player, and she was ap-
plauded unstintingly. Then came a
group of numbers of the romantic and
modern order, five of them, beginning
with Schumann's Noveltte, op. 21, No.
1, and closing with the Witches, Dance.
op, IL, No. 2, by the greatly revered
Mcdowell. Miss Turner conspicu-
ously showed that 1t is possible to play
the piano beautifully and effectively
without resorting to all sorts of de-
vices which mar the activities of some
people who attempt to play tfAe piano.
A prominent feature of the recital
was the players performance of the
Mendelssohn concerto in G minor
Andante, Presto Orchestra part ar
ranged for second piano.) Miss Tur-ti
ner played this beautifully, demon
strating to her friends that she is a
careful and painstaking student, OBJ
servant of the minutest detail
Miss Jennie L. Champine, contralto,
assisted in the recital and gave Bal
ley's Carol of the Lark in her usual
finished manner, giving her auditors
real pleasure, and brought forth their
applause.
Miss Turner was made the recipient
of many beautiful flowers contributed
by fellow students and friends. Her
recital gown was of white silk
trimmed with Irish lace.

basis, as well as the object, of all in
struction in school music" Thus, rote
songs are taught freely in the first
years Of school life, careful attention
being given to individual voices, and
the uniting of voices When the child
has been given a. large musical repe-
toire, throughout the kindergarten and
first and second grades, the rote songs
alone pail somewhat, and new and
stronger interest is needed for the
growing intellect. Hence, the study
and mastery. of the elements of song.
The system of teaching music in the
schools has. been revolutionized from
the teachings, almost wholly through
the eye to ear training, which is now
the first consideration.
We do not find many unmusical chill
dren, and musical results are possible
in the school room as well as out of
the school room. In all concerted sing
ing it is neither the poorest voice nor
thesbest which lis heard but, what Mr..
Damrosch has well called the COM
posite voice. with which surprisingly
musical results can be obtained.
Il The material at hand now for school
use represents all forms of music, from
the simple folk-song to the melodies
OF the greatest composers of all na-
tionalities cleaned from the field of
song. cantata, oratorio, opera and
symphony.
Nowhere Is there stronger founda-
tion being laid today for musical ed
ucation for the masses than in the
public schools. 1t is to be remembered,
however. that public schools are not
conservatories of music from whose
doors should emerge host of expert
musicians, sight singers nor individual
soloists. We are not striving to rea-
lie conservatory results from public
school conditions, but we do maintain
that public school music has an up
lifting influence by efeating In the
child love and appreciation of what
is best In music.

HITS AND MRS.
BY e. N. PIERCE

Poison Carrots sat on the door step
on the first day Of the month and
looked over his iF5cooied. six-cycle,
auto graph album. 1t had been in the
family many years and the covers
were worn down to the quick. When
the album was new it occupied prom
inent position on the hard wood cen Ter
table In the parlor, and was busted
off and turned over once a month, SO
that the blue plush cover would fade
on both sides alike. Visitors were al-
ways asked to write their names, pres
ent or former, ana reason for chang
ing. If they wished they could jot
down their age. A notary not being
handy, very little legal age gets into
an autograph album and several years
can be taken off for cash in q book
of that kind. Married couples were
allowed to write on one page, wnere
they could also leave their children,
if any. Each person was supposed to
drop a few lines of poetry or some
pleasant remark in writing and spell
ing. On rainy days Poison usually
corrected the punctuation with a burnt
match. A period manufactured out of
the retired end of a match resembles
very much the personal appearance of
the low stiff hat worn about the time
Mr.. Bryan started out on his long dis
tance presidential walk. Noah had
one of these hats blocked soon after
leaving the ark. A person not famil-
lar with Poison's periods not only
comes to full stop when meeting one
of them, but is liable to back UP sew
ersl words, which hinders the rhyme
and leaves bad impression for sew
eral days.
Friends who were for any reason un-
able to sign their names or .were not
using any particular name, owing to
lawsuits or climatic changes, were al
lowed to make their mark, and Poison
noted the names Of several marks in
the book as he turned from page to
page, looking for the place he had
charged the hired man for breaking
the bundle carrier. The account was
over due and the hired man had shown
no disposition to settle. Occasionally
Poison would read aloud from the
book and the hired man, who was
splitting the Sunday wood hard by,
would lean on his ak and listen in a
willing and respectful manner.
O
Lars Gunderson had drawn a picture
of two intelligent looking mules and
wrote underneath where everyone who
was a mind to could read: when shall
we three meet again 2"
Hoping these few lines win find you
well. Il. Gunderson.
Every time Poison met these mules
face to face and read the inquiry that
followed he got mad and spoke of Mr.
Gunderson in a disrespectful manner
He did so on this occasion and his
were followed by an oral grin
from the hired man and the low sob
Of passing hen whose remains were
fricassed the following Sabbath in the
company of large family of well-to-
do dumplings which Poison's mother
in-Iaw had made out of a cook book,
likewise the -four barrel. Harrison
Pettybone. a school teacher, who
boarded at Poison's one term and
started to smoke cigar in the parlor
on Saturday, penned the following lit
tie verse:
Lives of all great men remind us
We must pick our wives with care.
And departing. leave behind us,
Not our natural locks of hair
Carefully yours.

sHARPs AND FLATS.

To initiate the new pipe organ fund,
to supply a fine new instrument for the
Presbyterian church, the Ladies' Aid
society has secured the Fargo College
Glee club, which has kindly consented
to repeat the, concert programme given
last Monday night, on Monday even
ing, May II, at the church. The pro-
gramme will be slightly changed, but
will be equally as attractive as the one
given at the first home concert. The
beneficiary of the concert is eminently
fitting one and right worthy of the
best possible patronage. The organ
fund is growing healthfully but not
quite large enough yet to warrant the
order being placed for the instrument
which is, so badly needed.

May "a and rs, under the auspices of
the Fargo College Conservatory of
Music. These festivals were estah-

conservatory chorus of 125 voices.
There will be two evening perform

Chicago, Nov. 6.-The man with the

stirring little drama in real life in
which acob Stenard. manager Of the

served on him.
You are the man with the suspend

Stenard shifted. buttoned up his

What the telephone conversation
was has not become public, but the
court papers indicate that Miss Jack

secured a pair of diamond buckled sus-
penders with pretty pink silk designs
worked through the strap. She ran
breathlessly to Mr.. Stewards office

then, it is alleged, she has not been
able to keep up the payments for the

practical purposes they were intended.
