Knox Will Be
Represented at State
"Y" Conference

Knox county is to be we'll repre-
ssnted at the Leadership Conference
which is to be held at Lake Cobbos-
ssscontee. June 26 to July j this
wear, for not only are there several
dslegations of selected young men
going to attend from the different
churches in the county, but one
member of the faculty is to be a
Knox county man.
He is John Taylor, the general
secretary of the Y. NJ. c. a. at Cam
dom who will have charge OF the
music at the conference.
He Is especially we'll fitted for this
work as he began his musical ca
reer at eight years Of age by becom-
jng a member of the Episcopal
rbprcb choir at Sanford. He has
continued in church work until the
nresent time, studying theory under
some of the best of instructors and
getting his practical experience from
work with both mixed and male
ouartets. At present he is a mem
Der Of the Temple Male quartet OF
Camden.
He is perhaps one of the ablest
group singing leaders in the State,
being constantly called upon to han
die big gatherings, and he has mad
experience in handling choral socle-
ties, conventions, Rotary nights, Ma
sonic gatherings and eVangellstlc
meetings.
Mr.. Taylor spent IS months dur
ing the war overseas as a Hut sec
rotary for the Y. NJ. c. A. and he
quickly acquired a great following
among the soldiers SO that the de-
mands upon him as a song leader
often carried him over 100 miles
away from his regular assignment.
Mr. Taylor will give special atten-
ton to the helping of older boys to
acquire skill in leading singing in
their own group, as he believes that
music can be made most enjoyable
part Of any young peoples program.
Those who took his courses last year
and learned how to get fellows to
sing will testify to the correctness
Of his belief.
His courses will cover group sing
Ing, Its uses in the church groups,
boys clubs, how to learn new songs,
important points in conducting sing
Ing songs popular with boys groups,
play songs and singing games, min
Srel shows, stunt nights. boys
bands young peoples choirs and
sunday School orchestras.

night, and the rest will pretty nearly
all leave tomorrow, and the 40 will
be greatly missed until after the
