Include Best Artists
The sixth annual artists course Of
1.-the department of music at the State
Normal school is completed While
/ the dates for the appearances of the
, artists have not all been approved, the
first number of this seasons course
! will be given early next month, and all
of-the dates will be announced in a
I, few days.
! Every number Of this seasons
course has been selected for its own
individual merit, and for its artistic
value to the program as whole. Each
has an equal share in the seasons pro-
gram; there is no one star and no in
ferior supporting numbers Their bus
mess is to present the best music In a
delightful and an attractive way.
They come to Valley City partly to
entertain their audiences; but they
will be found to be more than ENTER
tainers.'' Their concerts are also de-
signed to uplift and cultivate taste
for better things andHthat too without
performing over the heads of their au.
dience.
The fact that this Is the sixth an.
,nual course announced by the depart
ment of music is testimony that these
courses are filling place in the school
and community. Also, experience has
guided to bigger and better courses
each year. 1t takes but one David
Bispham to give a full recital. or a
single Russell Conwell. to deliver
ACRES of Diamonds" and SO a careful
