There were some unique features
on the program in the form of two
TOY" symphonies, conducted by
Miss Gutelius and given by the
Vipivoce. Music Study Club, of
which she is founder and director.

Haydn's TOY Symphony" set the
pace, surely, for the one by Rom

the genuine musical playing of the

of this beautiful old air which has
been q favorite with every genera
ton since the opera was first pro-
duced at Drury Lane Theater, Lon
don. in 1S43. Miss Morrill, was
prina donna of the st. Louis Civic
Opera two summers ago and in
Cincinnati last summer. Her voice
has the clarity and sweetness which
the charming old airs of the Eng
lish operas demand.
Sudworth Frasier's rendition OF
'sThe Fair Land of Poland" and
the love duet between airline" and
saThaddeus' as sung by Miss Nor
riI and Mr.. F'rasier will be two
outstanding features OF the produc-
ton and all lovers viii feel the
exquisite sadness Of Then You II
Remember Me- when Sudworth
Frasier's beautiful voice sings II.
That Heartfelt Melody.
But perhaps the most famous
Of all the songs from this opera is
''The Heart -Bow'd Down." Henry
Rabke. who sings it, was engaged
as leading baritone for this season
Of opera because Of his rendition
Of this heartfelt melody. Mr.. Rabke
has Just returned from four years
engagement at His Majesty's The
atsr." London.
The role of the Gypsy Queen

La Nance, OF William. Wade Hin

The Washington Opera Chorus
has won the enthusiastic approval
o4 the large audiences which have
attended the winter productions.
This summer chorus is made mp Of
forty carefully selected voices. And
the visiting artists are also pleased
with the local group.
What q chorus" said Helena
Morrill,. "It's a joy to hear the
music sung by such beautiful
voices. They're 50 fresh and true"
MY goodness. what a lot Of
pretty girls?' was the exclamation
Of Sudworth F'rasier, the popular
Broadway tenor. Sud is promis-
Cd as Washington Matinee Idol
before the first week is over.
And when they sing I'm the
Gypsy's Life Come With the
Gypsy Bride or Happy and
Light" the audience will want to
sing with them. Max Hishfield,
the conductor, has given them q
Swiftness Of ''tepi" which fits youth
and Joy and summer time.

Each piano pupil should have e.
one for practice.
The instructors of these classes
are chosen from outside the regular
public school force and their work
is supervised by Mrs. Ward, for the
orchestra, and Miss Athey, for
piano, both having been assigned
by Doctor Barnes.
The instructors for orchestral in

Piano and Orchestral Recitals.
The recitals truly justified this
work.
In the piano demonstration Miss
Athey used the famous Melody
Way" system of Doctor w. Otto
Miessner, that is accepted in the
schools.
She had $50 children in these
classes, using four pianos. Nearly
always three or four children would
play the same composition, show
ing widely different ideas and tenn
peratment in their solo renditionS
The orchestral demonstration for
grade schools at Central High
School, under Mrs. Ward, presented
many groups from the various cen
ters. Eighteen in one group was
the largest number.
These grade school orchestras are
designed to feed the ultimate
Inter High School Orchestra, which
is the goal of this valuable school
work in music

First and foremost we need a.
George Eastman, millionaire, for
these school orchestras. We. need
to have a gift of the expensive orr
chestral instruments, to be distrib-
uted as loans to the children who
cannot afford to purchase, for in.
stance. the trombones, clarlnets,
cellos, French horns, etc.
It should prove a fascinating
philanthropy. Already children
have asked for certain instruments
that are not available.
Another point in this schol nlu.
sic instruction is, that it often
starts a child in music, discovers
its special talent, and awakens the
home interest that will take the
child into some private music field
In which It may specialize.
It was always pretty hard, N
the old days. to bridge the non

Genesis Of This School Music.
we look upon the genesis Of this
work in the schools, remembering
with appreciation Doctor Hamlin 2.
Cogswell. whose dream was Of hav-
ing this orchestral instruction as
part of the ,school curriculum. He
enlisted a number OF volunteer
workers who gave this instruction
without remuneration. Mrs. Ward,
at that time, had some violin
classes; Doctor Cogswell, himself.
took classes for cornet and for
drums, conducting also the first
school orchestral groups.
Doctor Barnes it was who brought
about the admission of this work
as part Of the regular teaching
system with remuneration for the
teachers. Thus he put 1t on both

CAN'T DECIDE
UPON FUTURE

Indianapolis, Aug. .-LP'-hew
shank, who has combined an inter
mittent career of public service with
auctioneering, horse racing, acting
and operation Of a storage plant. Will
retire again to private life at the
end of this year. when his second
term as mayor of Indianapolis eX-
pires.
Shank has not decided whether he
will climb back onto the auction
block or resume management OF ms
storage plant. His friends say he
no longer has any inclination for the
race track. and he has said he Will
not be lured back to the stage, where,
as "A professional humdrist, he at
traeted attention throughout the
country some years ago.
His present objective is to cap his
career as mayor with the purchase of
the ESQ acre Laurel Hill estate and
mansion near the city for a municipal
park and country club. The proper
ty, valued at more than Sl,O0O,00O,
belonged to Stoughton Fletcher, In
dianapolis capitalist, and is now in
the hands of trustees. Shank, con-
ceiving the idea of acquiring it for a
city playground, recently inserted
page advertisements in Indianapolis
newspapers urging citizens to visit
it. Thousands of residents inspected
the estate on the day set, but much
opposition has arisen to purchase or
lease of the estate by the city.
Since the day Shank decided sud
denly, over card table in the back
room of saloon, to run for the may
orally of Indiana's metropolis. he has
kept his city and state in the lime
light and he has become a notable
character. He has been unusually
we'll informed on al branches of city
government, he has shown aptitude
for business administration. and he
has been indomitably persistent in
attainment of his municipal object
ives.
Shank aspired last year to the re-
publican gubernatorial nomination
but was beaten. He met indirect de-
feat again in the city primaries last
May when Ralph Lemcke, who had
Shank's supper. for the mayoralty,
lost the republican nomination to
John L. Duval, present county treas
urer, leaving breach in republican
party ranks which has not yet
healed completely.

STARK COUNTY
WHEAT WILL BE
SIXTY PER CENT

Dickinson, N. D., Aug. s-Crop ex-
perts who have been studying the
situation in Stark and adjoining
counties closely during the past two
weeks reckon that the wheat yield
will be approximately 40 per cent
below the 1924 average. This esti-
mate is based on a county wide sur
vev. IN some communities the ration
will be higher and in others, much
lower
Winter rye, barley and oats are
light Iherc are, Of course, some
fields that will prove exceptions but
these are few and far between. Rye
threshing will begin early the coming
week. A few isolated fields have al
ready been threshed in the Dickinson
territory according to farmers who
have visited the city this week but
no yields were available.
A soaking rain is needed to bring
great fields of flax and corn through
to- maturity. in the opinion of c. c.
Eastgate, district extension agent,
and farmers of the Dickinson COM
munity. Both crops, representing
record acreages, are suffering from
the lack Of rain and unless moisture
comes soon. the yield will be fal
short Of that predicted ten days ago
when these crops were at their best
