Mr. Francis Sutton Gives Carol Festival On City of St. Thomas The St. Thomas Times-Journal o! Dec. 1i6, gîves an account o! the Carol Festival held in that city, at which G. R. Fenwick, Pro- vincial Music Supervisor, gave higli praise to Francis Sutton, Supervisor o! Music for St. Thiom- as Schoois. We quote below some extracts fromn the report for the information o! the many friends o! Mr. Sutton in Bowmanviile. In the write-up we note with plea- sure that Francis Sutton, Jr., took part as a trombonist with the Brass Quartet, a promising son o! a talented teacher. The report is as follows: Roy Fenwick, Mus. Bac., o! To- ronto, Provincial Supervisor o! Music for tie Department o! Edu- cation, toid membens o! a large and appreciative audience Friday niglit that lie was "very mucli and very favorably impressed" at the informai carol festival whici was given for their benefit by the pupils o! the city public scliools in the auditorium o! the Arthur Voaden Vocationai Sdliooi. Mr. Fenwick spoke toward the end o! a varied progrum o! vocal and instrumental music which was prepared by Francis Sutton, Supervisor o! Music for St. Thom- as sdhoois, in co-operation with the individual teachers. On the basis o! Friday evening's per- formance one can say that a very fine job lias been done in training the pupils in musical appreciation and performance. While Public School Inspector J. C. Smithi cautioned --the audi- ence in a few introductory re- marks not to expect a finished performance, many of the 20 numbers on the program were performed in sucli a way as to demonstrate that even in the short space o! three months of training the chuldren already have a good grasp o! tlie fundamentals which siould carry thern far. This was particuiarly noticeable in the four-part choral singing and in the work of the 46-piece orchestra. It was expluined during the eve-ý ning that many o! the orchestra members had neyer piayed their oItthestral instrument prior to September. The group included piano, 8; reed organ 1; violin 15; cello 2; drum 1; clarinet 7; cornet 7; saxophone 2, and trombone 3.
