he could give Goldberg pointers on fool

States into office. II was conceived IN

throes of a great revolution. Through

1t is Interesting and may be astonish-
ing to many TO note that the early
Presidents were much opposed to spec
tacular inaugurals. George Washing
ton, whose inauguration was held in
New York, regretted that demonstra-
ton was made in his honor. 1t will be
remembered that Washington was in
augurated on the thirtieth day of April
rather than on the fourth day OF March.
as was intended. He resided at Mount
Vernon, on. the Potomac, and travelled
by coach from that seat to New York.
His journey was made a triumphal
progress by the people who supported
him, and upon his arrival upon the
shores of the Hudson River, opposite
New York City, he found awaiting him

people, great crowd for New York IN
those days. greeted him.
He stood on the balcony of famous

take the oath and there solemnly swore

though he had served the people well

less enthusiasm and public demonstra-

Accounts of the inauguration of Ad-

many political opponents. but the
masses of the people were in his favor.
Upon the inauguration day when John
Adams was sworn in Jefferson wrote
a public letter beginning, Lord. now

effect, strongly bearing witness to the
fact that jefferson and many besides
regarded the retirement from public

Useful Suggestions That Will Improve
tho style and Voice.
Some hints for singers are given by
an experienced singing teacher These
little suggestions are worth much to
you If you are vocalist. Whether
you sing in the choir. at concerts or
merely for your friends. they will help
you to make your music better.
High notes can be taken more easily
Iwhen even yet higher ones are thought
Of by the singer. Imagination always
helps the vocalist
Singing out of tune Is cured by prac.
ticlng minor scales and arpeggios.
Practice the former, starting from the
highest instead of the lowest note.
Always try to stand well. Never let
your body droop in any part when
practicIng. There must be vigor and
grace In the position.
Breathe correctly, not in updrawn
puffs. but from side to side at the
waist.
Shoulder raising is the worst of hab-
its and should be avoided 1t binders
and never helps good breathing.
Avoid all rigidity Of the jaw, tongue
and lips. Keep all flexible This means
clear notes and clear words.
