ARE COMMERCE CLUB HEADS I Hymn Study Conducted at Meeting Matinee Musicale Hears Discussion of Church Music. Matiee Musicale met Tuesday afternoon at the Y. W.

C. A. with Mrs. J. E.

Campbell as hostess when a etudy of "Great Hymns and the Modern Oratorio" was led by Mrs. J. E. Hynds. Mrs.

C. E. Gilman had current events. "Not until the late part of the fourth century did the importance of the hymn in Christian worship become fully understood," Mrs. Hynds said.

"Today we consider our hymns and music half of the service. Isaac Watts was the real founder of hymnody. Mrs. Hynds described the struggle which Watts had to win the English people from prejudice against the use of hymns in worship. She discussed the best hymns, the best hymn tunes, hymn writers and children's hymns and their writers.

Mrs. Hynds reviewed "Elijah" by Mendlessohn and "Beatitudes" by Franck and sang "I Am He That Comforteth" from "Elijah." She named the four greatest hymns as "Rock of Ages," "All Praise to Thee. My God," "Hark, the Herald Angels Sing" and "Lo He Comes with Clouds Descending." A quartet including Mrs. Hynds, Mrs. Don Wells, Mrs.

C. E. Gilman and Mrs. F. M.

Turning back the pages of time 70 years to a period parallel with the Civil war, "Little Women," the latest production of the Woman's club drama department, pleased theater-goers of Mason City at its second evening performance Tuesday night at the high school auditorium and the quaint costuming and charming portrayal of character by the cast left the audience basking in a delightful atmosphere not often produced by modern plays.

Altho Louisa M. Alcott's play is known in nearly every home in America, it is safe to say that many persons in the audience knew what the old classic was about for the first time Tuesday night. Much credit is due the director, Mrs. E. E.

Hunter, for bringing out the charm of a play as far from present times as winter from Indian summer. Will Be Remembered. From the picture of Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy at the rise of the first curtain to the' typical old-time stage finale, the quaintness and charm of the production was not dropped once. There were no exciting scenes, no mystery, none of the tricks that are to be found in modern plays, but the selection wove itself into the hearts of the audience and will not be forgotten soon. The events of an ordinary family, related in an ordinary manner, gave the play a human touch in every scene and situation.

There was little chance to select an outstanding star in the cast, for every member possessed a human charm that made the audience desire more and more of the play. The selection lasted more than two hours but few persons in the audience were ready to leave this peaceful family scene when the final curtain fell. Is Sentimental Play. The play was sentimental but a little sentiment once in awhile does not injure the theater world. The smallest details were attended to, including furnishings, costumes and articles typical of the 60's.

It was estimated that the play attracted the largest attendance of any Woman's club production for several years. A matinee was given Monday afternoon and two evening performances were presented. The members of the cast and others assisting in the production were the guests of Dr. and Mrs. H.

K. Jones, 118 Vermont avenue southeast, following the Tuesday night performance. JUVENILE BOOKS PUT IN LIBRARY Additions to Dorchester and Betty Jones Collections Are Given. CLEAR LAKE, Nov. 30.

RUGLAND TALKS TO LIONS CLUB Comparative Enrollments of Local Junior College, Others Shown.

How the Mason City junior college, the first to be established in the state, had outstripped other similar institutions in Iowa in enrollment was shown Wednesday noon by S. L. Rugland, dean of the local junior college, in an address to the Lions club In Hotel Hanford. Two graphs were shown by Dean Rugland. The first demonstrated enrollments for last year in the 28 junior colleges of Iowa.

Mason City ranked highest with a total of 210. Fort Dodge was next with 129. Other schools in the state had smaller enrollments, the smallest having 22. The other graph showed the steady increase, on the average of attendance in the Mason City school. Criticism Is Voiced.

Criticism of the Iowa junior colleges was expressed by Dean Rugland in two respects. The first was that state officials should have closed supervision over the colleges. He also voiced doubt as to the wisdom in establishing junior colleges in some of the smaller towns of the state. Of Iowa college students, 18 per cent start their training in junior college. The corresponding percentage in Minnesota, which has only seven junior colleges, is 17.6 per cent.

Michigan has 16.9 per cent. Dean Rugland cited other figures for midwestern states which reported smaller percentages. Tells of Beginnings. Dean Rugland pointed out four ways in which junior colleges had been started. These were by extending the high school course, adding two years to regular high school courses, taking off the last two years in regular four year college courses and the establishment of two year centers by a university in other towns.

In Dean Rugland's opinion, there are many four year private schools which do not have much longer to live. Some of these, he pointed out, had become junior colleges. Four high school trombonists played for the club. Lloyd Nichols and Richard Barker first presented solos, with Ocy Aliene Fenske furnishing the accompaniment. Then these two trombonists and Ray Seney, and Bill Whorlcy played quartets.

Mrs. Milton Dalvey made a plea for support of Christmas seal sales. C. F. Weaver reported on a talk given by R.

L. Bailey before the Lions club at Manly and stated representatives of the local club planned to participate in a program at Lake Mills soon. C. C. Harshbarger of Onawa and Mrs.
