Port of American Music."
Tho characteristics of negro music
aro rhythm producing a tom-tom ef
fect, syncopation and emotional ef
fects, which are very plainly marked
In the simple melodies of the tribal
negro, and which show In the music
of the educated negro which Is more
complex, she said. "The Grey Wolf,"
which woe sung by Mrs. Miller, Is an
example of the complicated music of
tho educated negro, which, Mrs. Bat
ley states, is all very tragic as if the
negro were educated and sad because
ho knows nothing to do about it.
Tho musical numbers which Inter
spersed Mrs. Batley's talk were "Deep
River," by Burleigh sung by Mrs. Leal
Russell; "Three Questions," by John
(son. Miss Jennie Spaeth; "Lindy

little statues, boxes and paper knives.
Trie proceeds of the sale will be
