 Twenty-two years ago band or women started a movement known as the National Congress of Mothers and Parent-Teachers association, organ ized for the purpose of studying the child in it's relation to home. school, church and state. Never has child welfare been more earnestly consid- cred than today, and the congress has been the greatest factor in the awalS- ening. There is no influence so far reaching for good or i'll as that of pa rents and the home. It is a privilege to have share in carrying forward the divine purpose of Him who said, "Suffer the little children to come unto me and forbid them not for of such is the kingdom of heaven"
 The National Congress of Mothers and Parent-Teachers association stands today as the instrument of marvellous opportunities for service to God, ser vice to humanity and to the world.
 It is our aim to draw every mother and teacher into our family circle, where we can hold council and profit by the mistakes and experiences of each other. We want monthers to stop and consider this great opportunity for

HAROLD BAUER TO PLAY


 The members of the Music Study club and other music lovers of the city are anticipating with much pleasure the coming of Harold Bauer. the well known pianist, at the Jefferson thea tre Monday evening. When asked about musical conditions in this country, he said:
 Musical conditions in America have undergone marked change, when reviewing my years of playing in the United States. Time was when the pianist, with his poetic hair and eyes, and the romantic story concerning him, was accepted implicitly on trust. A Paris or London success meant enthu- siasm flowers and women's tears in the cities of America. This was al. very delightful. I suppose, for the ar tist, but it is irrevocably gone. Chi l.cago may like an artist who did not hit is off with New York, just as Lon don rdicules sometimes one whom Paris may call great. In other words. indepe hdent judgment in musical af- fairs xists now in, the United States to the same extent as in Europe"
 
 No artist can come to America in the pr oper spirit and not leave the country tremendously improved in his art and as a man." declared Harold Bauer. Some years ago, when ths crlt1cS stated that my work had gained in breadth I wanted to tell them ana everyohe else that America had done this for me. The trouble with most people is that they do not realize the importance of America and it's music now. The future of the art here IS beyond estimate"
 Few New York critics are better qualified to pass judgment upon an artist than Henry T. Finck of the New York Evening Post. Commenting upon Harold Bauer's work, MT Finck has this to say:
 "The tone seems to drop from hIs fingers like so many pearls. But his greatest claim to distinction lay in the way in which he infused emotion into the music-emotion now tender, now passionhte, rising in surging waves tc a thrilling climax"
 MT. Bauers personality is considered particularly attractive. He is wholly free from affectation and lacking in peculiarities commonly believed to DC inseparable from genius. In manner he is cordial, keen of wit and highly entertaining. His American tours are under the management of Loudon Charlton of New York
