An Early Music Professor

view, at the close OF the Civil War,
under the direction of Prof. Daniel
was a notable event.
TN the early morning Of that
bright and lovely 23d day of May
as has been said, there they stood
all expectancy, in spring attire,
decorated with rosettes of the red
white and blue, laden with bouquets
of fragrant flowers and floral
wreaths, waving thousands of min
iature flags and bearing aloft a
multitude of banners of their respec-
tive schools, while high over all was
displayed the great standard of that
young army inscribed, The Public
Schools of Washington Welcome the
Heroes of the Republic. Honor to
the Brave
For six hours during the march,
without sign of WearinesS, the boys
and girls presented their floral Of
ferings, waved their flags, rent the
air with cheers, and at intervals a
grand chorus of $500 voices, under
the lead of Director Daniel, sang
The Star Spangled Banner Battle
Cry of Freedom, When Johnny
Comes Marching Home Victory at
Last and other patriotic songs and
hymns, all of which were most
gratefully received and heartily ac-
knowledged by officers and soldiers.
From all sides the highest praises
were showered upon that great
chorus of school children, and the
sight of those Grand Armies, with
their bronzed faces, soi1ed uniforms
and tattered flags, was to them an
object lesson in patriotism never to
be forgotten"

RELIGIOUS BOOK WEEK.
By Margaret {. Miller

Readers Adviser. Central Library, Wash
ington Public Library.
Religious book week, which opens
today, annually includes the anni-
versary of the Nazi burning of the
books. 1t emphasizes the Importance
to Americans of reading books
which will convey ideas of CO.
operation and understanding be-
tween religious and racial groups
On an annotated list of suggested
reading prepared by the National
Conference of Christians and Jews
are books representing the three
major faiths in America and books
with a good will theme.
The tragedy OF modern Palestine
as Jews attempt to settle there is
dramatically told in Arthur Koest-
ler's novel Thieves in the Night.
Presenting the Catholic Church and
its beliefs j. G. Brunini writes fol-
laymen, Catholic and non Catholic
in "Whereon to Stand" How to
Read the Bible" is guide to under
standing that books message by a
Protestant Bible scholar, E. j. Good
speed. One of the books on the
good will list is why Men Hate
by Samuel Tenenbaum, a psyche
logical study of prejudice, hate and
bigotry anu methods Of overcoming
them.
