Dr. Lane spoke of art in the public schools and expre: the opinion that while they could not be expected to pro- duce artists, they could and ought to per- form a great mission in educating the pub- lic to an appreciation of art in its best e: pressions.

Professor Leo Wheat played “The Elks’ Grand March,” an original composition, and Mr. Sam Ireland gave some of the glimpses of the unusual phases of human nature, which he portrays with so much skill. Mr. Harold Macdonald skillfully avoided the topic of “Cuba's Liver,” on eh he was scheduled to lecture, and Mr. Dunbar pur- sued a similar course with reference to “The Marble Heart.” One of the features of the evening was a song descriptive of the trials cf an ari committee with illustra tions projected on a large sheet of manilla paper by Mr. George F.
