said Uncle Major, "and they de-
cided to sing some patriotic songs.
America" was the first number on
their program. Uncle, won't you
come in and sing with u.s., said
one little fellow who had been
sent out to give me an invitation.
Certainly" / said. "Pm always
on hand when there is any singing
to be done; just wait until ! get
my glasses and I'll join you. Now
we are all ready. Get me a song
book"
"Why Uncle Major! don't you
know america" and "Star Spang-
led Banner?" eve all know them"
you're a Stacker" and
"Well, my dear little patriotic
friends said your Uncle Major. Il
really do feel ashamed of myself.
If you will lend me book to sing
from this time, l promise that you
will never again have chance to
call me a Stacker"
"My advice to everybody in the
U. S. A." said Uncle Major, lis to
get busy right this very minute and
learn every verse of America and
Star Spangled Banner for the fol-
lowing reasons: First, for the love
OF your country; second, because at
nearly every public gathering now
adays, the patriotic airs are sung,
and if you know them you will not
feel so embarrassed as / did at
dear little Marjorie's party
"And l." said Aunt Minor, never
felt so Inundated in all my life as
when those little folks found out
that Uncle Major didn't know the
patriotic songs. What if they are
children, don't you suppose they
will go home and tell their parents
all about it? Oh, it's dreadful! I
tell you that Uncle Major will not
get single nights rest in this
house until he has learned 'Ameri-
ca and Star Spangled Banner
from the first to the last verse in
elusive"
The time for the May Music Fes-
tival is drawing near-Thursday
and Friday. May "a and 25. To APP
preciate the wonderful work Of
the Richmond public schools, it will
be necessary to attend all three Of
the concerts and note the progress
made from one school to another.
Many boys and girls are going to
be boosters for the festival and help
it along by selling tickets. You
will no doubt be interrupted many
times with: Wont you buy tick
ct for the Festival?" and the only
way to escape the little ticket sell
ers will be to buy ticket and pin
it on the outside of your coat, for
the boys and girls are determined
to make it one great success. The
music festivals will make Rich
mOnd famous as a music center
r Seats will not be reserved at the
May Festival, and the admission
price has been placed at such low
figure than you can afford to attend
all of the concerts.
