The lectures on "Language and Composition" by R. F. Robinson, Superintendent of the Schools of Multnomah County, were especially fine, and those on "Grammar and Arithmetic" by Professor L. R. Traver, of the Training Department at Monmouth, were of valuable prac tical benefit. Able addresses on edu cational subjects were delivered by Miss Loretta Smith and Mrs. Pennel both of Monmouth, and an excellent program was rendered by the public school pupils of Independence. Music for the occasion was furnished by the Normal Faculty Quartette. All the Dallas public school teach ers who were present at this Institute report a most pleasant and profitable day.

Trade 3 i vriv- Dallas, Oregon GIVE FINE CONCERT Dixie Jubilee Singers Will Appear at Woodman Hall Nex Mon day Night. - Monday, March 2, the Dixie Jubilee Singers will give an entertainment in Dallas, under the auspices of the Dal las Public School, the proceeds to be used to secure new books and fixtures for the Public School Library. This will be the first date the Dixie Jubilee Singers have filled in Dallas during the present season, although they have played successful engagements in the two previous years. Although to those who have heard them sing this company needs no introduction, it is well to distinguish them from the Tennessee Jubilee Singers, who filled a date in Dallas a short time ago. The Dixie Company differs from the Tennessee Singers in very respect and their program is of a distinctly higher quality, and is ren dered by voices trained well nigh to perfection in the best schools of the United States. Since they sang in Dallas last year, another member has been added to the troupe making the double quartette complete. Otherwise the personnel of the company will remain the same. New songs have been added to their repertory, and Mr. Williams, the manager, promises a finer program of choruses, quartettes, and solos than they have ever before offered to the music loving public.
