There is no lack Of enthusiasm in the
instrumental music section. about thir-
ty students have enrolled, twelve OF
them on the violin. Glass lessons and
orchestra work is given Wednesday eve

Saturday evening, Nov. 10th, being
the first open evening, It is planned

be paid in advance. A donation Of q
book or books, satisfactory to the
board of directors, and Of the, value
of $1,O0 or more, will be accepted ill
lieu of the cash payment Of $10O,
but it is strongly recommended that

fee in preference to making a dona-
tion Of books, thereby permitting the
association, to purchase some new
books for which there is special need
at this time. Moreover, a higher
standard can be maintained for the
library by the purchase Of new books
along a carefully, outlined plan than
through miscellaneous assortment
of donated books. However, the do
mated books which prove satisfactory

cepted by the board in lieu Of the

pleasing and enjoyoble program is be-
ing arranged.

Thus, you will see that his profits
on an investment Of $568.0O for the
year was almost double the original
number of ewes. If this does not beat

in this matter will do we'll to see and
