Proper pruning permits the neglect of no dead limbs no matter how far up or how inaccessible. ture demands extraordinary thoroughness, skill and courage. Dead and dying branches spread tree diseases and insects. Accidents are caused by decayed branches falling. The Fundamental Principles may be briefly summarized (1) the removal of all dead, decayed, diseased and injured wood and bark; (2) the sterilizing of all cut surfaces; (3) the water-proofing of cut surfaces; (4) aid- ing quick recovery, as by filling and cover- ing deep cavities; (5) inspection, once or several times a year to forestall the action of new defects that may arise.

The piano number will be by Saint-Saens, opus, 22. After the intermission will come an aria from "Carmen," a suite from "La Giara," by Casella, Lohen- grin's narrative and a Slavonic dance by Dvorak.

After the intermission will come the big novelty of the Festival, the "Sea Symphony," by Vaughan Wil- liams. At the fourth concert, the afternoon of May 28, the Children's chorus of 1,500 voices will be heard in two groups of children's songs and in the cantata, "Old Johhny Appleseed," by Harvey B. Gaul. Sophie Braslau, contralto, will be the soloist, and will sing two arias.

Mary Lewis Sings May 28 During the final concert, the evening of May 28, Mary Lewis, soprano, and Lawrence Tibbett, baritone, will be the soloists, together with the chorus. A feature of the concert will be the performance of a movement from a symphony by Mr. Oldberg, with the composer conducting. The program in- cludes the overture, "Le Carnaval Ro- main," by Berlioz, aria from "Herodi- ade," by Massenet; aria from "Louise," by Charpentier and another aria from "The Masked Ball" by Verdi. The suite from the "Fire Bird," by Strav- insky will be followed by the Bird Song from "Pagliacci" and a scene from fi- nale from "The Mount of Olives," by Beethoven. It will be seen from this that an un- usual treat is in store at the Festival this season as the programs are attrac- tive and the soloists are all artists of the first rank. Frederick E. Clerk in Lecture on "Americanism" Frederick E. Clerk, principal of the New Trier High school, spoke on "Americanism" before the students of the National Kindergarten and Ele- mentary college last Thursday after- noon. In one of the finest lectures of the semester Mr. Clerk showed the necessity for alert interest on the part of Americans and especially of the teachers of young Americans, in the affairs of other countries. He sug- gested that a melting pot, as America has so often been termed, may be used for one of two things--it may be used simply for mixing, in which case the worst elements become a little better and the best a good deal worse; or it may be used to refine and carry off the baser metal or impurities, to the better ment of the entire mass, and it is up to the people of America to de- cide upon the use to which the country shall be put.
