AUDI Lincoln high school. Raymond, director of music in the pupil, M S Mrs. Steele of Sedalia, Mo., talked upon the National Federation of Music Clubs and the work they are doing. Besides the student contests they have a plan of circulating libraries, and lay out programs for the small and new clubs affiliated each year. Last year they made out 320 programs of music for 320 little coun- try clubs. She spoke of a society woman who is able to pick out themes and recognize them in a symphony through study in a music club. Mrs. Steele spoke highly of community singing, and said that often if women in club work would stop and sing a song in which every one joined, that she felt it would relax them and make their work better as a result. She out- lined briefly the plans of the National Federation of Music Clubs' biennial, which will be held in Birmingham, "Ala., next year. The program of the morning closed 1v. Melody.

All of the sessions of this conference were well attended. e The Lincoln scheme of community singing is under the auspices of the Commercial club, which pays the bills, At present it is led each Sunday by some different local instructor, and there is always some feature, like the University band, or a glee club, or some soloists, who donate their ser- vices, Pérsonally, I do not think this compares with the Chicago idea, for often people who donate their serv- ices forget to attend, or change their minds at the last minute, and after two or three times they are liable to get tired. The interest is too liable to wane, and in a large city where there are so many other things to draw the people away, it is doubtful if it would be of any per manent value.
