A feature Of the recent convention
of music teachers, in Minneapolis, was
the section Of public school music
which was in charge of the gifted
Agnes M. Fryberger, who opened the
section with a very interesting report
on the proceedings Of the National
Convention Of Public School Music
Supervisors by Miss Kimberley of
Minneapolis. who was secretary of that
convention. The balance that should
be maintained between the aesthetics
and mechanics Of music in the public
schools was freely discussed, the con-
clusion being hat one day a week
should be devoted to the so-calIed
soul of music and the remainder to
its technical features.

Miss Celeste Seymour the talented
violinist, who during the past school
year was a member of the faculty Of
the Dakota Conservatory of music is
the author and composer of a Lullaby
which came out this week and was

In the New York Evening Post of

opera. What's the show? asked the
friend. Great, perfectly great" ans
Wered the horsey one; "it's 'Pagliac-

Pupils Recital at Rottineau.

AFlS ~ a. SSShtiSaNs
In reporting a musical recital given
at Bottineau by pupils from the studio
Of Miss Hansen one of the local papers
gave the following account:
The pupils of Miss Jessie Hansen
Of this place were heard in the second
Of a series of recitals at the latter's
studio, Wednesday, June II. The stud
ents played admirably, rejecting great
credit on Miss Hansen's system and
method, the selections rendered being
such as to show the work actually
done day by day; Miss Hansen avoid
ing the mistake so often made by
teachers Of music in their presenting
their pupils in work beyond their
depths, which while parts may be
played even quite brilliantly, still the
audience is aware of much lack Of
thoroughness on the whole that it
quite takes away from the pleasure Of
the recital.
Certain of the pupils Of Miss Han
sen brought out the meaning Of the
composer in an unusually fine way,
and all Of them are to be c~ongratu-
lated on the gracefulness and thor
oughness Of the work presented.

The annual convention Of the Min

Gently held at Minneapolis, was sus-
~picuously closed with a concert con-
sisting Of Minnesota compositions CIV
en- by local artists.
OF the concert The Tribune said the
program opened with George H. Fair
clough's lovely fantasia on Lead
Kindly Light" a series Of beautiful
variations on the peerless hymn, de-
veloped in a scholarly and
full manenr An endearingly lovely So
prano solo by the same composer was
sung by Master Alfred Greenfield in a
voice of smoothness and power re-
markable in one so young. The pure
young voice was exactly suited to the
simple sweetness of the song. A. melo-
dious Evening Prayer concluded Mr..
Fairclough's portion OF the program.
The compositions were played with
masterful ease and sympathy on the
organ by their creator.
The three songs for women's voices
by Willard Patton, which made up the
second number on the program, were
for some reason sung sc constantly
off the key that it was difficult to form
a fair estimate of their worth. They
were given by Martha Marian Cooke,
soprano, Mrs. Alice Adrian Pratt, So
prano, Mrs. Tenie Murphy Sheehan,
contralto, and Mrs. J. Robert States.
contralto. An original and charming
song for soprano, 1.-THE Seal Mothers
Lullaby" composed by Faith Helen
Rogers, was rendered by Mrs. Kath-
leen Hart Bib, who was accompan-
led by the composer. Mrs. Bib sang
also "Pierrott," a dainty song by Helen
