cornetists of the world and none WIG
heard him and his band doubt fol
moment that he is a musician ant
band leader of unusual genius
The greater part of the selections were
not Of the crashing kind, but were
soft and expressive of fine feeling and
love of the beautiful. One of the I'M
pressive selections was the Echo III
the Forest" several Of the instruments
being played at a distance from the
platform and were most effective Ill
conveying the idea of the echo. The
music was superb and those who love
music will be pleased to know that

On Friday those who were fortunate
enough to be able to take in the morn
ing hour lecture listened to very flne
address by Uel w. Lamkin on : the
subject, "The People and the Public
Schools Mr.. Lamkin is an expert
along the educational line and as Il
result of his varied experience as in
spector OF high schools and president
of the teachers association OF his
state, is unusually well fitted to dis
cuSs the questions of prime import
ance to the public schools OF our coun-
try Mr. Lamkin'S talk was serious
and thoughtful one and one OF prollt
and endowment to the audience pres
emf.
Friday afternoon a Chinese gentle
man by the name of NJ Poon Chew de-
livered lecture on China and Her
Problems" Mr. Chew was the first
editor of a Chinese paper in this coun-
try and is an able writer for the pub
LEGATION in San Francisco. He takes
great pride in the accomplishments of
his native country and sees great adj
vancement ahead for his people. lie
stated that the thing which he consid-
cred the greatest event of history was
the changing OF China into a repub-
lie in the short space OF four months,
change which he considered mlrac-
ulous, considering the 45O,OOO,OO0 pop
ulation and the 100000 square miles
of territory which China embraces.
Mr.. Chew credited the great forward
movement of his country to the efforts
of the untiring American mission
aries and the Chinese students who,
after having been educated in Ameri-
can institutions, return to their
native country to help in its uplift.
He said he could not understand the
statement of Americans that money
cannot buy everything because China
could Go 50 much with money in de-
rc nof, and
protecting herself from foreign Ell
croachment He showed no love for
Japan and the Japanese, but paid high
tribute to the United States.
The prelude for the afternoon and
evening of Friday was excellent, the
Cambridge players presenting acts
from famous plays in a most clever
and artistic manner. and varying the
program with instrumental and vocal
selections which were highly apprec-
ated.
Following the Cambridge players
in the evening Ross Crane with his
cartoons. clay modelling and talk de-
lighted the audience. Mr.. Crane, with
his quick and deft fingers skillfully
portrayed in the clay the likeness OF
men of history, and those OF Uncle
Sam, and Abraham Lincoln were most
realistic, while the image of the land
lady of Mr.. Crane during his college
days provoked much fun and amuse-
ment at the expense of the poor lady
who. it seemed had never laughed.
DR.. r. O. Brown concluded the series
of morning lectures during the week
with the discussion of the important
subject to religious and business inter
ests alike, 'The Economic Value of
Missions" DR.. Brown declared the
bible has been the means OF the ad-
vancement of every country of the
world and those which have lead in
invention, art and commerce have
been the countries which have taken
the bible and jts teachings into their
hearts and lives. Thus DIR Brown
proved bye his logical and well formed
conclusions that missions has a very
high economic value, and it is to the
interest of every nation to realize this
fact if thew desire the best there is in
business as well as better conditions
in home life.
S. Plat Jones, a pleasing gentle
man and gifted entertainer, furnished
