of his address was "The School and

The many appreciations from thoso
who hoard the lecturo would Indicate
that Professor Conklln has demon

CHORAL
SOCIETY TO GIVE
29
The Medford Chora- societv Is to
make Its bow to the public of the
Itoguc river valley on Monday even
ing. May 10, In a grand concert to
be given on that date In the Page
llionter. This event will be of more
than ordinary Importance, as It will
mark the first organized effort along
choral lines to develop the musical
talent of southern Oregon.
This society has a short but Inter
esting history, bavins; been organized
only a little over three months. It
already has the earmarks of stability
and permanence. It was not or
ganized into being, It came Into be
ing and was organized wiion there
was no help for It, which fact Is the
best guarantoe that It hns come to
stay. Weekly rehearsals bavo beon
hold recently In the Prosbylorlnn
church, and tho Interest manifested
and tho nuin'ber present from week to
week has been n continued nugury of
success. Tho work covered In recent
rehoarsals has beon Oounod'a Mass
St. Cecelia, In Latin, and a variety
of choruses of IiIkIi musical and
classical merit, which, together with
n miscellaneous program, will con
stitute the forthcoming concert de
but. Tho chorus numbers closo on
seventy members', and following the
concert is likely to ho considerably
augmented.
Almost without exception the mem
bers have received vocal training and
many have studied for years and
bavo beon Identified with similar or
ganizations, so that tho society may
be fairly entitled to rank high ns a
musical aggregation and should for
years to come be an assot In tho so
cial and educational life of tho com
munity. It Is expected that the pub
lic support In the forthcoming con
cert will prove that ltogue river vnlley
appreciates the value In tho life of the
community of sur-li an organized so- j
clety and endorses to the full tho of- I
fort so mnile to ralso tho, tone of
community life and to provldo a
means for tho discover) and develop-'
mont of musical ability. Tho aim of .
the society Includes the formation of .
a musical library, which will be avail
able to all students of music and
which ought to be a wiluablo addition
to the nullities provided In the com-,
mi'iilt. foi educational advancement
