The Music Festival

Seattle is the only city west Of Chicago to attempt
big festival Of music which combines all its schools and
produces chorus of 2000 with orchestra of ap
proxmately 200 pieces
1t is immense undertaking and of which the
city well be proud Over 5000 boys and girls
participate in the three performances the high schools
alone training chorus Of 800, with orchestra of
$50 pieces
Since the first May festival Of music three
there has been steadily growing increase in the interest
taken in music thruout the public schools In school,
where formerly children could be found who could
play musical instruments 40 practice regularly with
the school orchestra their sole means of instruction in
many being the school music teacher And where
formerly chorus of so could be mustered in high school,
the choses in each high school number approximately
300 with classes being conducted in harmony and sight
reading
One of the greatest benefits to be derived from such
event the May festival Is the chance gives for all the
schools to together in united effort forgetting local
differences and individual school ealousies well as
sense of unity and goodfeeng fostered in the community
where many families brought in touch with one
another entertainment of common interest.

On The ISSUE Of
Nmericonism There Can
Be No Compromise

for its life.
The enemies of the hospital are SELFISH
ness, callous Indifference, ignorance, and
superstition.
The peanut-souled citizen who is well and
does not want TO disturb his peace by think
ing about sickness, will not assist the
hospital
The takers, frauds, patent-medicine graft
ers, and other vultures that profit on the
mseries of their fellows, do not help
hospitals.
The faddists, monomanacs, reigio-phil-
osophic cranks, and all those who put their
peculiar superstitious obsession above their
reason, do not favor hospitals.
But every physician who has carefully
prepared himself for his life work, who has
studied what the wisest have learned before
him, who has learned at the feet of the most
shllful, who has sworn loyalty to truth
and seeks honestly TO practice his art N
a way to be of the most benefit to men,
every physician in fine that wants to do his
best, wants hospital, for that is the best
place in which TO do it.
And an intelligent and sane community
wants hospital because it wants those
who are set apart to care for its health, to
do good work, the best possible work, under
the best possible conditions.
