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

at Monmouth, were of valuable prac
tical benefit. Able addresses on edu
cational subjects were delivered by
Miss Loretta Smith and Mrs. Pennel

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.
