 j Tn the line of composition, I mean students who are studying composition, Mrs. Fies said, reference to the musical library will be of great aid in their work, as, for instance, the works of Bach, Beethoven, Handel, Hayden and the clas- sicists, which are not obtainable; many times students cannot afford to buy the music if 1t is obtainable; they will find the library providing everything it can. The same applies to the appearance of great artists here; musicians who would like to familiarize themselves with the compositions presented on programmes do not care to invest in these musical works maybe, and so they can turn to the library and find what they want there" :"
 I've are especially pleased,' Mrs FieR said, that we can greet the biennial vis- itors with our circulating musical library, as it is one of the most important things that a city can boast of mus1cally, and we want to measure up to the standard of other cities in which the conventions have been held''
