Due to | the richness of the material, it {is impossible to find the time in school to let the children read everything they would enjoy. Also since home reading and home discussion give par- ents the opportunity to keep in close touch with the children's thoughts and work, the parents welcomed the idea. Fach mother took the name. of a different book, and arrangements were made for exchanging these books as soon as they were read. On Thursday, October 20, Mrs. Ar- thur J.

She was born in Warsaw, where at four- teen she was graduated from a con servatory, and shortly thereafter went to Berlin to study composi- tion. In Berlin she became in- terested in the study of ancient manuscripts and instruments of the classic period and soon became not only one of the leading artists but also an authority on ancient music.
