This was the hegiuuing of u Thanksgiving program which was fou- tinued, under the auspices of the Y. W. C. A., in a service in the college chapel immediately following broak- fast. The service was opened by sougB of praise, followed by a prayer of tUanlcsgiving. The speaker of the occasion was Dr. J. T. Ellis, who in a few well chosen words emphasized the vuluo of a spirit of gratefulness. ‘'Look Avithin, look without, and look upward,” said Dr. ElHs. “If you have friends for whom you are thankful,” continued he, “tell them so today, say ‘thank you’ to the people at homo, and above all breathe a prayer of thanks giving to the Great G-iver of all good gifts.” MUSIC CONVENTION EVEN CLASSES HONORED MEETS AT MEREDITH BY MRS. W. J. ANDREWS The annual Teachers' Assembly for this year was of more Interest to Mere dith and Meredith girls than ever be fore. The main reason for this special interest was the fact that Dr. Brewer WH8 president of the assembly lior last year. A second i-eason was becausc the music teachers of the State held their assembly meetings here In the College chapel. The beat instructors of music from all over our State gathered ti)- gethor here, and held a very Instruc tive and profitable session. Four meet- injjs were iield in the chapel. Thurs day morning and afternoon and on through Friday afternoon the meetings continued. Ifany old Meredith girls wore back again as members of t.he assembly, this time on the Inside looking out instead of the outside looking In. A few c:une as members nf the music teachers’ department but the greater malority were connected with the other various phases of the assembly. Thurs day afternoon the Meredith faculty gave an informal reception to the alumnae of tlie cnllesc, It was very *!n- joyablo for old friends to see each oilier again and former teachers and pupils to meet and talk over old times. Friday afternoon nftGr the session in the college chapel the music faculty gave a reception in the college parlors for the music teachers of the State. Friday night the assembly held its final snssion. Dr. Henry Van Dyke noted poet, writer and preacher, de livered the closing address. The as- somi'ly, even the whole of Raleigh, wus indeed fortunate In having Dr. Van Dyke to apeak before them. Dr. Brewer opened the final session by presenting to the assembly tlieir president for this year, Miss Elizabeth Kelly. Other offi cers w’ere then presented, after which the meeting was turned over to Mr. Wm. Bench of Winston-Salem, who led the audience in a very en thusiastic slug—first singing the Star- Spnngled Banner, followed by Dixie and other good old Southern ' songs. After this Mrs. Moncrieff, of Meredith music faculty, sang two beautiful selections. Hon. Josephus Daniels Introduced the speaker, Dr. Henry Van Dyke. Dr. Van Dylce used as his subject, “Nature in Poetry,” and truly liis address was an exceptional ending to bring the annual session oE the Teachers’ As sembly to a close. MISS AiniUT Of ST. JIAKY'S >V1.\S SillRLi;i ILT One of the- most intorestlng of Un- conventions which have takoti pluco in Raleigh during this fall wus t'.ie Convention of the Association of .Mu sic Teachers, v.iuch assembled in t'le -Meredith College Auditorium.

Material and Meth ods." Stressing tho importance of the ]>art played by the director, liis train ing and methods, Mr. Breach brought to his atullence In a fortibie way the riializiition ot the fact that there is imperative need for training in the technique of leadership of t'oinmunity a.-i ill the iiiui'luitls ui ;ui> other department of music. Following this, Dean M. A. Shirley :)f Salem CollGgo, Winslon-Saleui. ad dressed the convention on the suhjoct. "Teaohinp: Musical .-XiMircciatioii In College." Tills discus-iion took tlie I'oriii of a brief oatline of a course in Jiusical .Vppreclation. which he him self condncis with the most salisfic- tory results. An inturesLiUfj feature of this course Is the appeal which it has for girls who are taking either Bachelor of Arts and Sciencc courses. The audience was then deliglitfuliy surprised to hear the announcement of a pUino solo by Miss Phillips of the Meredith College Music Faculty. Miss Phillips played the MncDowell Polo- iiiiisc with marked technical skill and feeling, “Training the Ear" was the snbjoci of the next discussion most ably led by Mrs. Crosby Adnms of Montreat. The necessity of beginning such train ing with a child when ho is very young, if any degree of success is to be expected, was particularly empha sized by Mrs. Adams. The conventioi then adjourned to meet In the Woman's Club at a lunch eon, honoring the Teachers’ Assembly. Renssembling Thursday nftornoon at 3:00 o'clock, the convention was ad dressed by Mr. Chas. G. Vardell on “The Teacher and Himself."
