PAGE FOUR THE JEFFERSONIAN DEMOCRAT, Brookville, Thursday, November 20, 1924 GLEE CLUB HERE DEC. 5 Penn State College Singers to be at Methodist Church Arrangements have been completed for the appearance of the State Glee Club on Friday, December 5 in the Methodist Church, sponsored by the choir of that church. Before appearing in Brookville the Club will give concerts in Bradford and Kane the two immediately preceding nights, Wednesday and Thursday, both under the auspices of the high schools of the respective towns. This will be the first appearance of a Penn State organization in Brookville, and from the reports of local people who heard the club sing in the annual Pennsylvania Day concert at the college two weeks ago the concert will be well worth hearing. The club will sing several groups of songs, varying from the classics in glee club music to the typically humorous of the old-time glee clubs.

Interspersed with these will be Penn State songs as they are sung on the campus, and they will undoubtedly be very welcome, especially to Penn State alumni who have not paid very recent visits to their alma mater. Beside the numbers, there will be selections Varsity group, Quartet, violin solos by an assisting violinist, and soprano and contralto solos by assisting artists. The Penn State Glee Club is a member of the Eastern Intercollegiate Glee Club Corporation, and in the contest held last spring under the auspices of this organization in Carnegie Music Hall, New York, in which fifteen clubs representing all the larger eastern colleges took part, the Penn State Club was awarded fourth place. This in itself shows that the local people will have an opportunity to listen to superior singing when the club appears here December 5. FAUNTLEROY'S CREATOR DIES Had Frances Hodgson Burnett, whose death occurred the other day, looked among the ruddy robust boys, clad in sweaters, knickers and golf stockings of the present generation, she would have found no material for the remarkable "Little Lord Fauntleroy" of her imagination, and SO children's literature would have lost a character that in its day was widely popular and which survives today somewhat as a juvenile classic, if not a hero.

"Little Lord" would have had a hard time of it today if he were turned loose among his fellows in a public school yard or a city playground. What would happen to his velvet suit, his white starched collars and cuffs would be too terrible to relate. It is a question whether even the boys of "Little Lord's" generation would not have "razzed" the youthful gentleman, despite the odd admiration their mothers had for Mrs. Burnett's boy hero. But "Little Lord Fauntleroy" was a figure in his time.

Everywhere he was the vogue, the model of youthful deportment and sartorial excellence. Every man of forty or more had to listen to the literary lad's wonderful accomplishments. And any writer who can achieve such a result cannot pass away without being noticed by the world. Pullman Company Scholarships The Pullman Company has announced that it will annually offer twenty scholarships of $250 each to the agricultural colleges making the most efficient showing in the contests at the International Live Stock Exposition the first week in December each year at the Chicago Union Stock Yards. The students accepting these scholarships are to refund these loans when it can be conveniently done and the money is to be reloaned to other students at the same college, creating a permanent revolving fund to which each institution can add annually by making a good showing in the various contests at the International Live Stock Exposition in Chicago.
