One of the Topeka girls who unites
the two professions is Miss Eliza beth
Anderson, the daughter of the Rev.
Mr.. S. B. Anderson and Mrs. Alder
son. She sings frequently before To-
peka audiences, and is a member of
the quartet that furnishes the music
for the First Methodist church. The
church has engaged the same men,
bers for its choir now for its third
season. In addition Miss Anderson is
conducting classes in Washburn col
lege in public school music. This is
her second year ct the college. Since
the introduction of music into the
regular curriculum of the public
school, it has been found necessary
to train teachers for that work-giv-
ing a normal course, and Washburn,
a few years ago, introduced such
department. Miss Alma Marti pre-
ceded Miss Anderson in that work at
Washburn.
The Anderson family came to To-
peka from Tarkio, Mo, three years
ago. They were former Topeka peo-
pie, and a good hany years ago the
Rev. Mr.. Anderson was pastor of the
First Presbyterian church of this
city. Miss Anderson began her study
of voice in Lewisberry, w. Va, where
she attended college, and later she
studied at the Woman's college of OK
ford, Ohio, while her people lived at
Portsmouth, Ohio. She took a special
normal course in public school music,
and was supervisor of the music for
the public schools of -Tarkio for three
years. She has also studied the IA
nous Sweet-Whitney kindergarten
system of music teaching. She has at
her home an interesting case OF
equipment that is used in teaching
music to children, course which in
cludes a good deal of simple instruc-
ton in harmony.
Miss Anderson is member of the
Ladies' Music club and of the Miner
Il toll oil IN
addition to her musical attachments.
