instructive lecture on What the Schools Shall Gain From More Effect ive Teachers Organizations The evening session was devoted en tirely to Mrs Mary Roberts Coolidge who gave a most interesting discourse on old English ballads with vocal il v was a large attendance and Mrs Coolidge charmed her hearers She opened her remarks by giving a brief history of the ballads and by tell ing of the characteristics chief of which she said was simplicity Often the tune was sacrificed for the story Every ballad had a well defined story hut rarely ever a moral One of the oldest ballads Chevy Chase

In the 18th century Mary Dawsons Hornpipe was one of the best and Early One Morning As an illustration of the 19th century Khe rendered Allen Percy At the conclusion in response to per applause Mrs Coolidge ren tared the Aloha or farewell song of Hawaii familiar to many With all due respect to the English ballad it was in our humble judgment by far the most pleasing selection rendered during the
