Music" was Mrs. Fryberger's theme
and she said one of the best things a
club cal do is TO cooperate with the
instructor of music in the public
school and the boards OF education in
regard to the text books on music.
The clubs could also cooperate with
the newspapers to mutual benefit. In
Minneapolis last winter for the first
time a musical critic was placed upon
the pay roll Of the newspapers to i'm
prove and discuss musical work and
attraction. TO stimulate musical Gull
ture and appreciation Of music tho
clubs, could cooperate with The var
ious church choirs OF the city and
the pupils of the high school in the
formation Of choral societies. The
public looks upon music as q pro-
fession. 1t is not a profession but
is for everybody. Music is not an
entertainment only; it is educatiVe.
