ADDITIONAL SOCIETY
To Be Head of the
Piano Department,
Valley City Normal

The many Fargo and Moorhead
friends of well known piano artist
who only recently left this city, Mrs.
Aslaug Olsen Wright, will be inter-
ested in the following from The VAL
ley City Times-Record:
The department of music at the
state normal school announced today
with much reluctance that Miss Kath-
crime Fjelde, head of the piano work,
would withdraw with the close of the
coming summer school. Miss Fjelde
has been head instructor in piano at
the normal school for the past four
wears and during that time has given
this phase of the schools work rep
utation second to none in the north
west.
Mrs. Aslaug olsen Wright has been
the opening of school next fall. Those
who have been in touch with the sit-
uation regard this as a wise choice for
MANY reasons. Mrs. Wright has the
enthusiastic endorsement of Glenn Dill
lard Gum, the eminent pianist and
critic of Chicago, who says:
May I recommend without any res
ervation whatsoever, Mrs. Wright.
have known Mrs. Wright's work for
the past sixteen years. Many of her
pupils have come to my studio and in
no case have found the technical
or musical preparation deficient =
Her normal courses are quite remark
able and l believe, embody the best
elements in piano pedagogy that have
been developed"
Mrs. Wright also has the warm en-
dorsement of Miss Fjelde and as theil
methods are practically Identical, II
will be continuance of the same
work for students rather than a
change. The department is urging
the students of Miss Fjelde to make
plans to continue their work with
Mrs. Wright at the opening of the fall
term.
Miss Fjelde will remain for the
| the summer term.

EAST PIKE MEN
BUY THE GRAVEL

At meeting of the members of the
East Pike Road association, a contract
was entered into with the MI skoda
Sand Co., for the purchase of the
gravel to be used in the graveling of
the road on First avenue north from
Eighth street to the city limits, known
as the East Pike. The gravel for the
work will be furnished from the sand
company's Downer pit, southeast of
Moorhead.
The road has been put in shape for
the work and according to officials OF
the association, operations will be
started on the east end of the Pike
first, as small amount of grading is
necessary between Ninth and Eleventh
streets before the coat of gravel is
laid.
The cost of making the improve
ment will be about $1,000, all of which
has been subscribed by local business
men. When the job is completed 1t
will be one of the best road improve
ments in the county.
