church held last Monday evening Miss
5Bjorkquist was unanimously elected
organist. During the summer months
Miss BjOrkquist has specialized in,
musical studies under the direction Of
Masters at the MacPhail School of
Music in Minneapolis, and their testi-.

Bjorkquist's pupils were well satisfied

are eagerly awaiting her arrival.
North Star is fortunate in securing the
services Of so competent and accom-
plished musician.

time to puruse1 one of our short courses.

Through music the soul finds its
greatest expression. Music is capable
of expressing every emotion. For sor-
row, we have the extreme dirge or la
mentation; for tragedy, the opera; and
for ioy, mass Of musical composition
that eyades enumeration and classical
tion.
Music expression is now regarded as
an index to character. A Waterman
once made the statement that people
who travel the streets at night can be
grouped into two classes: those who
must be looked upon with suspicion,
and those who are harmless. He clas-
sed the man as harmless who whistles
as he wends his way through the dark
hours of the night.
Music has ceased to be pursued mere
ly for the financial remuneration it can
bring by itself. 1t has ceased to exist
for it's own sake. 1t has become q ne
cessary part of otherst things it has be-
come a silver thread woven into the
otherwise colorless fabric: of daily life.
Music has become the balm to which the
tired business man or woman turns for
.refreshment. Efficiency depends upon
how far the tired mind or body can be
refreshed during leisure hours. Music
is the enemy of gloom: it is the quick
ener of the spirit. Music drives the
baser thoughts to oblivion: it fills the
mind with beautiful thoughts and up
lifting motives. Music quenches the fire
of anger; it stimulates and fans the
spark of love- In all, music has become
such necessity in the proper prosecu-
ton of life and daily activity that we
might truly say that we cannot i've
without it.
The love of music turks in every
heart. It may not find expression IN
song, the whistled tune, or on the m
strument. 1t is there nevertheless II
NAV manifest itself in just apprecla-
ton. It may be wholly asleep and
therefore not revealing itself in any
form. But It's. there. 1t is there wait
ing to be aroused from its slumbers, OF
to be developed to it's many higher
forms of ., expression. Fortunate the
man, woman, or child who realizes the
Importance of developing this celestial
something which seems to have, in
large measure, the power of making OF
unmaking the human being. And still
; more fortunate that person who finds fin
within reach the means of developing
this power. 49, IS: ~ Ss::sg$s sxs 5ss b. .
The people of Warren are not lacking
in facilities for developing their must
cal inclinations An institution ready
s to ca ter to their wishes in this respect
stands within easy reach: Why quench
and stifle the heaven-sent gift that calls
for expression when the possibility OF
expression is so close at hand !? s. let us
answer that question as. it should :be
answered by enrolling at once in the
Music Department Of North Star Col
