voices and filed the whole opera houst
with melody.
Any one who has ever done any
work in the public schools, know:
what a difficult task it is to get the
boys to sing. Singing to them seems
to be a particularly feminine accom-

splendid Interpretation they gave.
The Fourth Ward Glee club sang

of months of careful training and sang
their song beautifully.
The Boys Glee club sang, "My Ma

The FIRST Ward Glee club is especi

difficult "trills' in the song and the
children held their notes with perfect
ease. The Senior Glee club sang d
