Miss Jones in a paper on the develop- ment of music in England dealt with her subject in a charmingly instructive manner, Musie like speech must be reck- oned as one of the primary things of human life and in every race some rudimentary form has always existed. In England the Druids made the first contribution to musie. The Gregorian chart taught by St. Augustine is an early ex- ample, The Romans brought their minstrels with them and minstrelsy was greatly esteemed in the Brit- ish Isles and English literature of the middle ages is full of refer- ences to this quaint and entertain- ing form of music and its curious performers. The Wars of the Roses obstructed the growth of music during that period of strife and devastaion. The Renaissance of literature brought with it a renais- sance of music and in the Eliza- bethan age the Madrigal had its introduction and is the art form most characteristic of Elilzabethan music, With the rule of Cromwell came a dark period for music as the great body of 'lhe Puritans regarded -it with grave suspicion. choirs disbanded and much church musie destroyed, The return of the Stuarts brought a restoration of musical art and did away with all enactments against music amd its cultivation in the Church received a great impetus, Of this age is Henry Purcell who may still be termed the greatest English composer and he survives today in his magnificent church music and songs, His opera "Dido ad Aeneas" is a work of beauty, The coming of Handel marked a rich period in English music and ever since England has re-echoed the influence of his compositions, To subsequent composers Eng- land owes much, A critic of Sir Arthur Sullivan, the great expon- ent of comic opera, says "to him we owe those sparkling artistic creations capable of arousing the most dainty, decent, satisfying laughter in the world, Sir Hubert Parry another noted musician and composer became the head of the Royal College of Music, Sir Villiers Stanford added much to the compositions of ngilish music in opera, symphonies and cantatas, Sir Edward Elgar is the composer of the "Dream of Ger- ontius", "Pomp and Circum- stance' from which is the familiar song "Land of Hope and Glory" and whose compositions have been sung by the Mendelssohn Choir, Miss Jones in closing suggested that our Public Library afferd bet- ter opportunity for material in musical works, The musical part of the program, the numbers of which were much enjoyed was as follows: Solo; (8) Until, Sanderson; Vale, Russell, Mrs, Lee Dance--BEnglish Folk Dance in Costume.

Roper the instructress, gave a short talk on the origin of folk dances and the nature of the fig- ures used which added interest to the performance.t Miss Woodhall, Miss Matthie and Mrs. Hallitt ably accompanied throughout the evening.
