opening session was presided over by
Ben M. Cherrington, chief of the
Division of Cultural Relations, and
was attended by representative peo-
pie from every branch of musical IN
terest from all over the country.
Perhaps the most noteworthy fea-
lures of the conference were the
enthusiasm and good will prevailing
and the sincere desire to find way
that this country could give of its
own ana receive of the musical cul-
ture of the nations to the south of
U.S. Every suggestion was atten-
lively heard and considered entirely
in the spirit of great willingness
to know of a culture still compare
lively unfamiliar to us and to pass
on anything of value that we may
have. A few delegates from the
Latin American countries were pres
ent, but the majority were from the
United States. But the strangers
found as ardent advocates of the
idea in the North Americas as if they

assembly.
Chief among the Latin American
delegates was Francisco Curt Lange,
editor of the Boletin Latino
Americana de Musica, whose address
in the first morning session on The
Point of View of the Other Ameri-
can Republics" formed the founda-
ton and the incentive for all the
succeeding discussion. Interesting
and vital also was the contribution
OF Concha Romero James, chief of
the Division of Intellectual Co.
operation of the Pan-American
Union, and the well-thought-out re-
marks of other prominent musicians
of Latin America who spoke from
the floor.
Tremendous Scope.
From the two days discussion
with morning and afternoon ses-
sions. it Immediately became appar-
ent that the subject had tre-
mendous scope when the able pres
entations of different branches were
made by those with authority to
speak. In a general summing up, it
was found necessary to approach
the matter of musical reciprocity
from the folk, popular, artistic
dance and school music and from
the motion picture, musicology, radio
and recording angle.
A point we'll stressed and conceded
tho hirI, of -
Latin American countries. 1t was
definitely stated that no direct eGu-
cation policy was intended but the
opportunity offered of a broaden
ing of understanding based on a
better knowledge of indigenous
sources and the national develop
ment in that line. While the ques-
ton of the easy approach which
popular music laid open by its quick
appeal was advocated by some, it
was finally agreed that folk and art
music gave the better perspective
without minimizing the appealing
value of the popular idiom.
Barriers Considered.
Some of the barriers that exist,
such as the difference of language,
the present copyright rules, the lack
OF properly supervised lists of Latin
American music with few phono-
graph records to help in making
the music known, were all con-
sidered and solutions of difficulties
promised by many present who could
start the remedies into action. One
of the most worthwhile suggestions
was that of Prof. Berrien of North
western University, who advocated
a clearing house where schools could
obtain the right kind of music Of
different types for pupils use. The

at being able to join the club and
each promised to do his part in all
club activities.
Carlton Joughin, chairman of the
entertainment committee, reported
that plans were being made for
Ladies Night on February Is. He
promised something different in the
way of entertainment.
Letters were read from Senators
Wheeler and Murray in which they
pledged support of the bill empoW-
ering the president to include adj
ditional lands in national forest
boundaries. Libby is interested be-
cause of a desire to have park
site improved along the highway
near Kootenai falls Senator Wheel
err introduced the bill.
Marshall Murray suggested it was
time for the club to choose some
worthy civic activities for the COM
ing months. He argued that unless
! the members we're kept active in
some w0rtnwn4fe rr1eaQ.urs trey
would lose interest. 1t was decided
that each member should propose
some commendable activity at the
next meeting and from these the
club would make selection.

Tuberculin Tests Are Given.
(Reported for the Tamarack)

Monday morning in the Libby
high school Drs. Martin and Cairns.
aided by Miss Huehala, gave the
tuberculin test to 93 per cent of the
pupils and nearly all of the teachers
and janitors.
Two rechecks were made Wednes-
day and small per cent of those
who took the test were found to
have positive reactions. Experience
has shown that a positive reaction
to this test does not always mean
that the person has an active case
of tuberculosis. However, it gem
orally indicates a condition where
proper care and precaution are
necessary to restore normal health.
These tests were made possible
by the Women's clubs sale of 7. B.
