" TEP8 are being taken towards the
organization of a state music
teachers' association In Oregon. A
lttr has been sent out by trie Mu
sicians' club of Portland to musicians
in the state whose names and ad
dresses were available. Inviting them
to come to Portland during the R0.3
Festival and participate In perfecting
Organization.
7"he committee having been dele
gated with the duty to Issue the no
tice, feels certain that' It has been un
K bi to reach all and for that reason
a general Invitation Is Issued. John
Claire Monteith Is chairman of the
committee. The notice sent out by the
club gives the reasons why a state
organization Is regarded desirable, as
follows: '
, "The Northwest Music .Teachers' sh
soclatlon has temporarily suspended
Its activities and may permanently ko
Cut Of . 4lstence. Tlve trxperienceH of
the past few years has seemed to
demonstrate the fact that It Is Impos
sible for the teachers of the northwest
to meet the heavy expense and travel
the great distances necessary to a'
tend the annual meetings. As a result,
only a minimum amount of good Is ac
complished. It was thought by Its
Officers that each state should have Its
Own association and In line with that
Idea Washington has already formed
her association and It la In a flourish
ing condition. Oregon Is badly In
need of such an organization and. us
H-teems always necessary to haven
tome organized body father such a
movement. the Musicians' club of
Portland has voted to take the Initial
steps tcrward forming a permanent
body. Its committee therefore aski
that you kindly answer the following
questions and return the same to the
chairman. John Claire Monteith. 507-S
Columbia building, as soon as possible:
' Will you be able to attend a meet
ing In Portland during Rose Festival
Week for the purpose of taking pre
liminary action necessary to the for
mation of the Oregon Btato Music
Teachers' association
""If not, will you plense give us the
tiamea of one or more teachers in your
vicinity who will?
' -"Our state Is so large that the one
organization cannot properly reach all
Sections effectively. It Is therefore
-thought best to divide the state Into
districts, each with Us own district
association, .so that local problems
: may be locally handled. .Wffh this idea
in mind do you favor dividing the
state Into three or four distrl' ts or
, do you favor having each county com
prise a district, as has been done, in
Washington?
' "The committee will appreciate It
If you will give them the benefit of
htiy Ideas or experiences you may
think pertinent to the working out of
this very important matter,
v? "We hape to have your hearty co
operation in our work."

audience which recalled each performer
. On the program, given by students of
Frank and Beatrice Eichenlaub. Each
number was given In an artistic man
ner. An unfortunate and unavoidable
accident which caused the pianists to
play , under a disadvantage occurred
during the program. The pedal mech-
' anlsm became out of order and made

Do Not Invest Less
Than $250 in a
New Piano
J A good Piano cannot be sold new for less than
$250. It requires good materials, skilled labor, exclu
sive patents, and expert knowledge to create a good
Piano. All these elements cost.
fl Those offered new at less than $250 are "near" Pi
anos, built trashily and sold trashily. Long before the
payments are up the "near" Piano proves a disappoint
ment as a musical ' instrument. If you do not care
to expend $250, it is far better to buy a "used" or
"second - hand" piano of good make we carry very
good "used" instruments at very reasonable prices.
tJWe cannot and will not tell trash. We are
known to carry only what is good, what will endure,
and what is worth the price asked.
