Talent of national reputation took part, and the best instructors In music gave valuable Information in addresses made. The thought of the convention was for the uplifting of music in Wisconsin and standardizing it In the public and high schools.

Another thought brought out. that after the wax is over, an effort will be made by the National Federation to prevail upon the government for the establishment of a national conservatory, where graduates may flnnish their musical education and thereby standardize the teaching of music. There is being spent, annually. 25 million more in music than in any other study of art in the schools, and musical educators think that more should be accomplished from this vast expenditure of money. Reports showed unusual progress during the past and that the federation was in an excellent financial condition.

A sum is being raised throughout, the state by. the club-to be used for war work such as buying Instruments and records for the cantonments and a donation has also been made to the base hospital In Milwaukee.
