The artists' course of concerts inaugurated the past year has become an established fact in the life of Fassifern and Lincolnton. Con tracts are being made which w’ill give students opportunities for enjoying the work of musicians who are sel dom heard outside of the larger cities. To come closer to the real work of this department, the students of higher grade of advancement in j)iano study give programs of standard recital num bers Avith such clear understancyng and adequate technic, and in such ar- tstic manner as to be an educational force in themselves. The n^cital num bers are all given without notes, as the X'irgil niethod. which is followed, trains pui»ils to memorize music and proves that such memory is neither a special gilt, nor remarkable. The Fas- sifcrn horus presented for its final work last year t'harles Vincent's op eretta, “The Japanese Girl.” in a way that was charming. The tone quality was beautiful, the expression clear, both showing careful training, and a high regard for musical effects. The chorus is composed onl.v of students in the school, and numbers betw'oen 40 and ■*'> members. The results obtained with immature and untrained voices in one or two school years are most de lightful and surprising.
