Mental culture is not mental cramming, to prepare for an examination. Mental culture is not mere memorizing: do not forget that a retentive memory is a very # � � important faculty these days, and the power to put your hands on the facts that you want is of almost untold value. A proper college training will enable a man to control his mind, and set it to a task, and keep it on that task until that task is mastered. Think of how many of these tasks a missionary has to tackle. The world to-day is in such close touch with even the outskirts of civilization that it is, so to speak, simply a great city, with its suburbs scattered in all directions. A missionary ought to aim to reach as many people as possible, and if he desires to become a leading mis- sionary--that's the kind we need every- where, to-day—he will have to be able to speak several different languages. A missionary to Egypt ought to know English, German, French, Coptic, and, • most important of all, Arabic; in Turk- ey the Arabic should be supplanted by Turkish, and Armenian would come in very nicely. So we might go on through the civilized countries. If you go to the uncivilized, as where we are working in Matabeleland, or in Nyassaland, or in German East Africa, you may run up against some of these unwritten lan- guages, which you must reduce to writ- ing yourself, before you can give the people the Gospel. Suppose you are to translate portions or all of the Bible in- to one of these languages: You could very nicely use the original languages of the Scriptures, and make use of such modern languages as you know, to assist you over some of the very difficult passages,—and even then you'd have to do a good deal of earnest work and much devout praying, before you would be reasonably equal to the task before you. The reasoning powers need to be large- ly drawn upon, by one who will become a missionary. You will find the agents of Satan very acute in their arguments. While we cannot meet them with Argu- ment alone, yet we must be able to show the reasonableness of the Third Angel's message. In so-called Christian lands, where Spiritualism, Romanism, Mor- monism, Zionism, and a hundred other "isms" are to be met with continually, the successful messenger of an unpopu- lar, persecuted, despised church, such as we represent, must be able to show a 2 � THE EDUCATIONAL MESSENGER 1 reason of the hope that is in him, with meekness and godly fear. MANUAL TRAINING Very closely connected with mental culture, is the training of the hand. I think too much cannot be said upon this matter. Missionaries ought to be able to work with their hands, so they can teach others how to work, too. Lazi- ness, and a fashionable fear of honest labor, must be encountered among ignor- ant savages of the forest, as well as in the ranks of many so-called "noble fam- ilies," and in the ranks of the rich who think themselves aristocratic, and above honest and useful toil with their hands. I believe some advanced think- ers attribute this disinclination to work to a "torpid liver," in some instances— another reason why a fellow ought to have a good liver. If I understand it rightly, Union College is introducing this system of hand-training into its curriculum. Of course it is doing this scientifically, as that's the only way to do. AMONG THE CHURCH SCHOOLS A few days before the close of the in- stitue at Lee's Summit, Mo., I left for Iowa. After a short visit with the Iowa teachers at Stuart, I visited the follow- ing churches and companies in the in- terest of school work: Des Moines, At- lantic, Council Bluffs, Modale, and Blencoe. According to previous arrangement, I then went to Sedalia, Mo., to assist in the young people's work at the camp meeting, expecting to return at once to Iowa and visit a number of other churches. A large number of young people were present at the camp meet- ing, and a good spirit was manifested in the meetings from the first. Baptismal services were held the last Sabbath and Sunday of the meeting. I do not know the number baptised, but was glad to see a large number lf young people dedi- cate themselves to the Lord and go for- ward in obedience to His commands. While at this meeting, I received word to attend the Nebraska camp meeting in the interest of the educational work. I went to Iowa again and spent some time* at Stuart, Marshalltown, Forest City, Al- gona, Ruthven, Spencer, Sioux Rapids, and Sac City. I have found by conversation with conference superintendents of schools, and by visiting among the churches, that there is a great lack everywhere of an intelligent knowledge of the importance of church school work and how to con- duct it successfully. 0, that all our workers and people would give more at- tention to this important line of work. B. E. H. TEACHERS' READING COURSE The Special Training Course offered to teachers last winter and spring has been so much appreciated that we feel encour“ged to offer another course com- mencing the early part of this fall. As opportunity has been presented we have talked with conference superintendents and teachers about the plans for an- other year's work, and have decided to commence the course with "The Place of the Bible in Education," by A. T. Jones, and follow this with a course in elementary agriculture or school gar- dening. The first lessons will soon be ready for the mail., All who wish to take the course should procure a copy of "The Place of the Bible in Education" at once. Order from your tract society or the Pacific Press, 1109 E. 12th St., Kansas City, Mo. Price 25 cents. Watch for further no- tice and plans for the work. � B. E. H. "Not more surely is the place pre- pared for us in the heavenly mansions than is the special place designated on earth where we are to work for God."— Christ's Object Lessons, p. 327. THE EDUCATIONAL MESSENGER � 3 EDITORIAL CORRESPONDENCE I left Broughton, Kan., August 2, and reached Downs the next day. Here • Elders Ogden and Bringle had been holding a tent meeting. After the first service of the camp meeting, some one noted the fact that four Union College students, with oae of their teachers had occupied the platform. The students ti �were Elders Crane, Ogden, Brown, and Bringle. Not many came to the camp meeting until Friday. On Sabbath and Sunday about one hundred were present. After meeting Sabbath afternoon I accompan- ied Belle and Mina Dixon, Union Col- lege students, to their home at Portis, nine miles away, returning Sunday forenoon. They will probably both come back to school this fall. I had to leave Sunday night, before the meeting was over, in order to reach the Missouri camp meeting, at Sedalia. The Sedalia meeting was one of the most satisfactory I ever attended. The camp was beautifully located in the ▪ city park. The weather was generally good, and when it rained, a large hall was at hand for meetings. The attend- ance was larger than last year, but not so large as to prove unwieldy. There ▪ was no complaining or faultfinding. Everybody seemed to attend all the meetings and to be on time. Brother Phillips' canvassers' meetings were at- tended daily by nearly the entire con- gregation. Excellent revival services were held, and many were baptized. The interest in education was greater than I have observed it before. Sixteen teachers were given license. About a dozen persons present had decided to attend Union College this fall. Of last year's students I noticed Messrs. John- son, Kurz, and Wesner, who have been canvassing with good success in eastern S � Missouri. There were also present Misses Nora Hough, Lillian Lickey, and Esther Hanson. The Omaha camp meeting was very large. The Conference recognized the fact that it was too large to accomplish the most good, and voted to have no general meeting next year, but several local meetings. Wednesday was educa- tion day. In the morning there was an educational social meeting. At 2:30 ad- dresses were made by Professor Kern and the writer. The matron and the preceptress, Mrs. Emerson and Mrs. Lewis, spoke to the congregation at five o'clock. Educational exercises were al- so held in the German, Scandinavian, and young people's tents. A large num- ber of "catechisms" and calendars were called for by the people, indicating that Nebraska will supply her usually large quota for the College. Bro. C. H. Miller was elected field education secretary, and Mrs. Pearl Morrison office secretary. YOUNG PEOPLE'S WORK We are glad for the interest being manifested in our young people by our workers. When we come to think and pray more about this work we shall see greater results. The following is an ex- tract from a letter from one of our ministers. � M. E. K. Your letter received this A. M. I read it with interest, also the leaflets. I think that I begin to see a little more light in this line of work. I note sever- al expressions in both of these articles that indicates the drawing together of parents and children, old and young, in missionary work, I think this is in harmony with Mal. 4: 6. It now seems to me that the expres- sion, "Will not young men and women who really love Jesus organize them- selves as workers," does not mean so much that they should form a separate organization but that already being members of the church and missionary society, they should (with but little formality) organize themselves into little working bands to go out together to work for God and souls. Then re- 4 � THE EDUCATIONAL MESSENGER port, compare experiences and counsel at the missionary meeting. The homes of our people are sadly in need and any work to be permanent must reach and influence the home life. I shall do all I can for our young people here, and will be thankful for any sug- gestions you can give me. ANNUAL MEETING A. T. ROBINSON The second annual meeting of the In- ternational Publishing Association was held in College View, Neb., September 5 7 in joint session with the members of the Foreign Department of the Gen- eral Conference. There were present: G. A. Irwin, E. T. Russell, I. H. Evans, R. A. Underwood, H. Shultz, Lewis Johnson, B. G. Wilkinson, C. M. Ever- est, H. S. Shaw, G. F. Haffner, C. A. Bur- man, L. F. Starr, S. F. Svensen, James Cochran, J. J. Graf, P. E. Berthelson, A. Swedberg, C. A. Thorp, J. F. Anderson, S. Mortenson, A. A. Meyer, T. Valenti- ner, Jacob Riffel, J. G. Hanhart, R. M. Rockey, J. Staby, G. A. Grauer, R. C. Porter, Carl Svenson, J. H. Morrison, August Anderson, Valentine Leer, Con- rad Reiswig, Bro. Ewert, A. T. Robinson. The business of the Association passed off harmoniously. Important measures were taken up, looking to the future development of the institution. The treasurer's report showed that a good degree of prosperity has attended the work during the past year. The following persons were elected members of the Board of Trustees: E. T. Russell, N. P. Nelson, J. J. Graf, Aug. Anderson, G. A. Grauer, R. M. Rockey, and A. T. Robinson. At a recent meeting of the Board, the following organization was effected: E. T. Russell, President; J. J. Graf, Vice- President; A. T. Robinson, Secretary; R. M. Rockey, Business Manager and Treasurer; and L. E. Koon, Auditor. AN EXTRACT We quote the following from a letter of renewal of subscription to the MES- SENGER. "Have had a very good summer in Scandinavia, Switzerland, Germany, Bel- gium, England, Scotland, and Ireland, attending our summer meetings. Have plenty to do, and am happy and of good cheer. My wife and little boy are well and very contented with their lot. We are always trying to be an honor to Union College and the cause of God. With best wishes for the success of every young man and woman and all the Board and Faculty at Unio. Yours in the work, G. DAIL. GET AN EDUCATION Getting an education is like saving money and placing it in the bank as capital for your life work. There is this differece, however—money placed in the bank may be lost, but money in- vested in an education is safe for all time, and for eternity, too, if it be Christian education. Furthermore, it is not only safe, but is drawing big in- terest in character and power to do things, which can not be measured with money. A man in business without a working capital has "a hard row to hoe." He has to buy everything on time, paying more for lack of cash. He misses good opportunities for want of money to seize them when they come. So it is with men or women who enters upon the work of life without a good education. He lives from hand to mouth and cannot take advantage of opportunities because he has not the preparation to fill positions as they open to him. Men in middle and ad- vanced life continually regret that they did not get an education when they were young. Young man, young wo- man, profit by their experience, and enter school now. • • THE EDUCATIONAL _MESSENGER � 5 N • WHY NOT ATTEND THE SECULAR SCHOOLS? 1. The Lord has toid.us that all our young people should have the blessings and privileges of an education in our own schools. (Testimonies, Vol. 5, p.197.) 2. In the secular schools the curri- culum is not arranged nor the teaching done with the true object of education in mind. "The true object of education is to restore the image of God in the soul."—Christian Education, p. 63. 3. The development of character for eternity is the most important work we have to do. 4. In the secular schools the most important part of education is omitted, —namely, the religion of the Bible. (Christian Education, p. 39.) 5. In the secular schools much of the teaching is contrary to the Word of God. 6. Our schools are the only ones where workers are trained to give the Third Angel's message. 7. We have been told that plans should be devised for the development of an army of educated missionaries. Our schools are ordained of God to do this very work. 8. Our children should have Chris- tian teachers, for the strongest in- fluences of school life come from per- sonal contact of teachers with students. 9. The ideals held before the stu- dents of the secular schools are usually opposite to the spirit of self sacrifice and true humility. 10. "The mind gradually adapts it- self to the subjects upon which it is al- lowed to dwell."—Christian Education, p. 37. If our young people would be Christians and have a part in the Lord's work they must have daily systematic study of the Word of God. � M. E. K. THE COW'S TOILET A useful session of the Health Con- gress concluded Sy itk four papers deal- ing with a question which is daily be- coming more urgent-- our milk supply, with special reference to the feeding of infants. Dr. T. D. Lister, assistant phys- ician to the Royal Waterloo Hospital for Children, adduced abundant reasons for the establishment of municipal milk depots, declaring that children were dy- ing by thousands every year for the lack of such provision; Dr. E. W. Hope, med- ical officer of health for Liverpool, des- cribed in detail the encouraging work carried on by the milk depot of that city, at an annual cost of £1200; and Councillor A. W. Short, of Bootle, ad- vocated in a paper full of facts and fig- ures the municipalization of the milk supply. In the last contribution, H. Reginald Rhodes advocated a reform which hails from America, and works on different lines. He described the production of medically certified milk as carried on at one of the farms of which he had charge under the New York Medical Commit- tee. By this system, practically every- thing except the milk itself is sterilized and the natural product thus assured a high pitch of cleanliness sells at a shill- ing a quart to the well-to-do New York- er. One passage from this paper may be worth quoting:— "The day's work commenced at 4:30 a. m. every day by each cow being led sin- gly and in turn, from their living stable into the washing and cleaning shed. Here they are washed with sponges and brushes in antiseptic water and dried with sterilized towels. As each cow is finished off, a lad leads it by the halter to the milking shed, where it is fas- tened to a snap along the wall. "Here the milkers take each cow in hand as it arrives from the cleaning shed. These milkers are required to wash themselves thoroughly in a bath- room provided, adjacent to the milking shed, and to wear clean linen clothes that are frequently washed and steril- ized twice daily." 6 � THE EDUCATIONAL MESSENGER The result of all this elaborate care was that, according to the paper, while ordinary milk supplied to New York was found to contain 5,000,000 bacteria to the cubic centimeter, an analysis of certified milk showed an average of on- ly from 1,500 to 1,600 bacteria in the same bulk.—London Telegraph. YOUNG PEOPLE—ATTENTION! We are authorized to announce the publication, about November 1, of a vol- ume of "Addresses for Young People," by President Charles C. Lewis, of Union College. It will consist of ten address- es, given on various occasions during the past fifteen years, principally before audiences of young people. Just the book to save young people from skep- ticism, and inspire them to seek an edu- cation, and lead pure and noble lives. The book will contain about 300 pages, and will be durably and handsomely bound. It will form an appropriate and valuable present for any young per- son, and may turn the current of his life into broader, deeper, and purer channels. Price $1.00 per copy, post- paid. Orders received at once and filled with first copies from press. Send for descriptive pamphlet, giving sample pages, and telling how to secure a copy free. Address correspondence, and make orders payable to UNION COL- LEGE PRESS, College View, Nebraska. THE OPENING OF UNION COLLEGE The enrollment is 211 before the close of the first week. Students will be com- ing for several weeks yet. So far as the total enrollment is concerned, it is a lit- tle larger than last year, but there is a marked increase in the number in the Home. Last year at this time we had only ten or eleven tables, now we have sixteen. Our enrollment at the Home is 111. As for the character of the pupils, I think I 114y0 never before seen a more earnest class of students together. One marked feature of the opening is the small number of seventh grade pupils. Last year the Grammar and Arithmetic classes in this grade were large, and had to be divided at the beginning of the second term. This year we have seventh grade classes only in the Grammar and Arithmetic, and there are only five or six pupils in these. I believe by an- other year we can, in our announce- ment, eliminate the seventh grade entirely. The organization of the school was effected easily and quickly. We gained a day's time over last year, being ready to take up regular recitations on Friday, instead of on Monday as we did last year. One hundred and twenty-six persons have enrolled in the different Bibla classes. Most of the remainder of the students have either completed the Bible work, or else have some excellent reason for not taking Bible study this year. There are only a few who do not wish to take Bible study. No special effort was made to induce them to choose Bible studies, but nearly all seemed glad to do so. The enrollment in industrial studies and trades is also encouraging. Sixty-six is the number at present. The industrial studies come at three o'clock in the afternoon, and many of our students desire to work in the afternoon to help meet their expen- ses. If it were not for this fact there would be many more in the industrial classes, but we feel gratified that the number is so large. An excellent spirit pervades the school. This is especially noticeable in the Home. Although circumstances be- yond our control had made it impossible to havethe Home in perfect readiness for the students, yet there has been no mur- muring or complaining. At the social meeting in the Home parlor at the be- ginning of the Sabbath, it was evident that the Spirit of the Lord was present 0 THE EDUCATIONAL MESSENGER � 7 k in a marked degree. A large number of cheerful testimonies were borne in quick succession, and it seemed as if A the work was beginning where it left toff last year. The same was true in the social meeting in the chapel Sabbath afternoon. We are encouraged to be- lieve that the blessing of the Lord will rest upon the work at the College in a larger measure even than it did last year, and the teachers and students en- ter upon the work with hearts full of courage and good cheer.

Earl Austin took advantage of the G. A. R. rates to visit his home at Boulder, Colo. No one feared for Earl's remain- ing away overtime, since all who know him are aware that his interests are in Union College. He has his old position as steward for the College. The Thayer, Kan., Intermediate School opened September 11 with an enroll- ment of 16 in advanced grades and 24 in primary and elementary grades, and there are a goodly number to come later. Mr. H. E. Reeder has charge of the school. We wish the school success. "Why, I could hardly wait until it came," said a young man just returned for his second year at Union College, when asked how he had enjoyed his MESEENGER the past vacation. "Every one who has ever been here should en- joy the MESSENGER when away, if they had any interest in the school at all." The Elk Point (So. Dak.) Industrial School will open Sept. 20. Ten or a dozen students have been employed dur- ing vacation caring for the farm, one of the principal products of which is toma- toes. These have yielded quite well, and the school hopes to can from 12,000 to 15,000 quarts of these, and have al- ready received an order for 400 dozen cans. At present they are running their canning factory nearly night and day, with a force of over twenty students. The outlook for attendance the coming year is better than ever. The faculty consists of Bert Rhoads, Mrs. Mary M. Twining, Miss Lizzie Magnuson, W. H. Twining, Marshal J. Low, and Miss Lau- ra Neumann. Dora Rasmussen is matron of the Iowa Sanitarium. Wesley Beard is working in Des Moines, Iowa. Miss Carrie Wallace is ack in her old). place as stenographer in the Iowa Sani- tarium, after a six month's vacation at the home farm near Bedford, Ia. We recently received the prospectus of the Central Michigan Business Col- lege of Lansing, Mich., and by the pages we see that Prof. E. E. Gardner, one- time teacher in Union College, is prin- cipal of the school. Bro. F. J. Wilbur writes in regard to the Sac City, Iowa, camp meeting, "There were about thirty young people present, and there were quite a few who were planning on going to Stuart or Union College." Mr. Burl Morrison and wife who have been in London during the past year have been visiting his father, John Morrison at College View. They have now gone to Chicago where Mr. Morri- son will have charge of an office for the F. A. Davis Co., of Philadelphia. As noted in our last issue, Professor Newton has accepted a call to Battle Creek. The Professor has been connect- ed with the College since its first open- ing. He has contributed in many ways to the welfare of the institution. Be- sides his regular work as teacher, he has given instruction in several indus- trial lines, and has often treated the students to stereopticon lectures on his travels. At present he is closing up his work in College View, preparatory for an early departure for his new field. Because of Professor Newton's resigna- tion Professor Morrison has been re- leased from his engagement at Washing- ton, D. C., and he will remain with the College another year. LATER: Prof. Newton and family left for their new home Sunday, Sept. 10. best wishes of a host of friends follow them. THE EDUCATIONAL MESSENGER � 9 Miss Maggie Ogden returned the 13th inst., from a visit to her home in Kan- sas, bringing her two sisters, Katie and Ps Clara, to enter the College. 4 Mr. Fred Davis, of Ashland, Neb., is among our new students. His brother Louis, who was in the College three years ago, is working in Colorado, near Boulder. Gladys Shufelt is again in school, bringing with her her brother Luther, who was in school four years ago. Har- ry Baker, also a Colorado student, has returned. Cush Sparks and Myron Jenkins are once more in College View. They have spent the summer traveling in the west, visiting the Lewis and Clark Exposition on their trip. They also canvassed a few weeks in Oregon with excellent suc- cess. Union College opened Wednesday, September 13th, and that evening found room left for just one more boy in South • Hall, so rapidly had the students filled the rooms which have afforded shelter and home to hundreds of our young peo- ple during the past twelve years. But still they come, and all are being cared for. The President announced in his address that evening that 159 had regis- tered. More than a score enrolled the next day, and more are coming in every day. Saturday evening, September 9, a com- pany of more than thirty of Elmer Hough's friends met ( by invitation) at the home of Charles Hodges, a mile northwest of College View, to partici- pate in a watermelon feast. Elmer has t spent his odd moments this vacation in caring for a patch of the plants of the genus Cucurbita, and is reaping a good harvest. By the way the melons disap- • peared that evening it is quite evident that Elmer understands how to raise good ones. He expects to be in school again this year. Misses Belle and Mina Dixon, of Por- tis, Kans., both old Union College stu- dents, have returned this year. It has been five years since Belle was with us. Elder M. D. Mattson, the new Bible teacher in Union College, has arrived from Massachusetts and entered upon his duties. He has rented a house in the village and expects his family soon. Ada Trease has returned from her summer's vacation spent at her home in Missouri, and has begun her work as College laundress. Her sister Lou re- turned with her and has entered upon the nurses' course at the Nebraska Sani- tarium. By the South Dakota Worker we see that Bro. E. Russel Potter has yielded to the supplication of the Manitoba Con- ference and since laborers are scarce in that field will continue to labor there. There will be no further particulars at present. J. F. Nelson, our College tailor, has moved his shop into the post office building. He will continue to work for the students, and will conduct a class in tailoring during the winter term. He is assisted by his brother Carl, and has sev- eral helpers besides. O. J. Graf and Clem Benson arrived in College View, September 12th, after spending their vacation sight-seeing in the west, and canvassing in Oregon with excellent success. Mr. Benson went on to Battle Creek for a short visit with his parents. On his return, he and Mr. Graf will attend the State TJniversity in Lincoln. September 8th, Prof. E. C. Kellogg re- turned from a visit to Colorado. After the Colorado camp meeting the Professor rusticated in the mountains near Pitkin. While there he participated in moun- tain climbing and other amusements fur- nished by that western country, return- ing with a look of youth upon his vis- age and spirits refreshed for his year's work in school. • 10 � THE EDUCATIONAL MESSENGER Verna Garner and Ethel Ames are nursing in Lincoln, Neb. Hannah Larson recently returned from a visit to Lake Okobojo, Ia. A. L. Leer is general assistant in the College business office, and Harley Stevens is clerk in the book store. Mrs. W. L. Johnson and daughter, Genevieve, left us the 11th for a short visit in Iowa, after which they will proceed to California where they will spend the winter. Miss Della Potter, stenographer for the International Publishing Association has been taking an enforced vacation of several weeks, due to ill health. She has resumed work. Miss Nellie Davis, of Ashland, Neb. a former Union College student, is help- ing at the Nebraska Sanitarium for a few weeks. She has been doing Bible work and nursing at McCook, Neb. Miss Josephine Nelson, bookkeeper at the Nebraska Sanitarium, was recent- ly visited by her three sisters from their home in Burlington, Ia. One of them, Miffs Teckla, was at Union College three years ago. The gents' bathroom, at the Nebraska Sanitarium, is being practically rebuilt. A new cement floor and steel ceiling are being put in and a new spray room is being built. The gymnasium is also being enlarged. The College View church school opened Monday, September 11, with an enrollment of 75. This was increased to 85 on Tuesday and more are coming, Prof. M. A. Farnsworth, principal, is assisted by Misses Kinneburgh and Edna Schee. Elder Nettleton and family are ex- pected back next month to rejoin the Sanitarium family. They have enjoyed their summer spent on the Pacific coast.

It is a two manual organ with a full scale of pedals, and for student practice will be as satisfactory as any large pipe organ.

Teddie is the name of a newly ar- rived student in Union College. He is but six months old and as yet speaks but a few words of English.

The choral work for the music de- partment of the College as outlined by the director is as follows: A male chorus meeting once a week for rehearsal, run ning through the entire year; a ladites chorus also rehearsing once a week throughout the year; a large mixes chorus meeting once a week for the/ practice of Mendelssohn's "Elijah:* Another mixed chorus will meet also... once a week for the practice of choruses selected from other oratorios. Tlis will make three rehearsals each week for ladies and gentlemen respectively, but requiring no more time than under previous years. Singers from the vil- lage are invited to join in the rehearsals of "Elijah" making this the largest choral body we have had These re- hearsals will be held every Saturday evening at 7 o'clock in the College chapel. This oratorio will be rendered next May at the close of school and is a very beautiful work, not so difficult as "Creation" or "Messiah." In addition to these rehearsals a sight singing class will be organized for those4 wishing to learn the rudiments of music. Those wishing to join this sight singing class, (which will last three months) will be able to join the choral practice at the end of this term. All others choruses except "Elijah" including the sight singing class will be held in the afternoon. Students recitals will be held every two weeks as usual, beginning early in October. Several faculty recitals will be given during the winter, also an oc- casional organ recital by the director. The teachers in the music department are B. R.
