 WITH READING
(From Saturday s)Daily)

National Hospital day visitors to Fort Whipple yesterday afternoon were surprised at the extent of the service of the post library, through which they were shown by Miss Emma Butcher, who has been librar-
 ian since the organization was first founded at Whipplc three years ago jrnder the American Library associa- tion. Tn a sunny room letting off i of the lounging-room and auditorium of the Red Cross house, are the library quarters Over 1000 volumes are on the shelves of this room, com prising a representative selection of popular fiction and an excellent choice of non-fictien books. i Approximately 100 books and from i25 to 30 magazines a day are circu- lated among the patients who are well enough to come to the library. For bed patients unable to leave their wards, there are shelves of books placed in every ward by the library service. Although started under the American Library association, the post library now IS conducted by the public health service, Miss Butcher | explained. It was taken over from the A. L. A. last November Among improvements which have been re- gently installed, is the circulating of current magazines, of which num- Der of every class are subscribed to. Formerly kept in the reading-room only, these are now circulated by card.
 In addition to Miss Butcher, whom the men at the post know as "the library lady" Miss Grace Gunst, assistant librarian, helps with the work of providing the patients with books. Miss Gunst, whose home is
 in Detroit, arrived a few days ago .lfrom Los Angeles.

ABSENT FROM CAUCUS

PHOENIX, May 10. - The god dess of harmony and one George w. P. Hunt were significantly absent from the proceedings of the demo- cratic county conference which met yesterday to elect 46 delegates to the Tucson state convention to be held May Is.
 The result of the deliberations was a hand-picked delegation for Judge R. C. Stanford for governor, but this course was fraught with consid- erable dissatisfaction to those who favored Alfred Franklin, and for those also who think and act in compliance with the wishes of for mer Governor Hunt.
 Hunt was not in evidence, but when someone tried to jam through resolution instructing the delega- ton to work for Stanford under the unit rule the Hunt influence was evidenced in a counter resolution in- structing the delegation to vote against the endorsement of any can didate for any office at the Tucson meeting, as being in opposition tc the direct primary and of democratic principles i'll general.
 Arguments became furious, and the chair was forced to call for order and proper decorum. Someone triet to adjourn, but he was howled dowr by cries of gag rule," and the dis cussion of what the delegation should do or should not do went merrily on
 Finally 1t was voted to table botf resolutions. The outcome Of tho meeting is that a practically soliC delegation of pro Stanford democrats will proceed to Tucson, determined to carry off the nomination for theil favorite.

FAVOR
 TRAINING IN CHURCH MUSIC

Today (Wednesday) at Portland, Ore gon, an earnest plea for the maintenance of standards of music commensurate with those of the liturgy and the high office of music in she Episcopal church is to be made in the report of the joint commis7 sion on church music. which will be pre- sented to the general convention of the church.
 The report has been prepared by Dr. Wallace Goodrich of the New England Conservatory of Music, secretary of the commission, which includes among others, several bishops, pr. Miles Farrow of New York and pr. Peter c. Lutkin of Chi cago. It is an exhaustive history of inu- sic, covering a period of more than fif- teen hundred yards.
 The report recommends that standards in church music be defined through edu- cation, and that facilities for musical ed ucation be provided for the clergy through the systematic instruction of all candidates for holy orders in the theolog- ical schools, and that organists receive authoritative special instruction in con servatory and college musical depart ments and through diocesan conferences.
 A specific recommendation is that con gregational singing be developed and a hint thatSelaborateg and highly paid church ehoirs are not altogether essential is seen in further recommendation that the sole test of the fitness of any choir or musical service shall be in It's ca. pacity to inspire and edify the people and to justify its work as an acceptable component part of divine worship
 The restoration of the chanting of the Psalter by choir and people Is recon mended whenever practical, after duo preparation and emphasis is laid upor the desirability that the music of tn, service of holy communion shall be tn, most important of all the musical service. of the church, although not necessarily the most elaborate
 The report discusses the character O | organ music at all services, including weddings and funerals and the importanc, ] of training the young to good taste il I church music through proper attention tt music in Sunday and church schools il emphasized. It Is asserted that standard are not well defined and that training fl church music has suffered great neglect.
