MUSIC STUDY CLUB
 ACTIVITIES

An innovation in the active work of the Birmingham Music Study club Is the organization of community chapters, thus enabling more mem bers than ever before to take part In the alert work of the club for the coming season.
 By this means Is furthered the pol tain a strong active membership that will be a recognized factor in the musical development of the city These chapters will assemble fort nightly and carry on the work of the club, which bids fair to be more sys- tematically conducted this year than ever before, encouraging the belief that greater results will be accom- plished.
 Although the club has adopted the slogan, Double the Membership" it is not for this purpose that the com munity chapters have been formed They mean a distinct broadening of the work and influence of the club.
 The altruistic work is a great fac tor and far-reaching in it's benefits During the season programs for the blind, the hospitals and various other forms of free and generous giving of the clubs best talent, where 1t will do great good, will be arranged by the committee.
 An unusually brilliant artist course has been secured, and much interest Is being manifested in the announce ment of a feature program.
