V^I.W' V i %. m w A Notable Group of American Musical Educators This photograph, made during the recent Convention of the JMusic Teachers' National Association, in Philadelphia, December 29th, 30th and 31st, was taken on the steps of the Presser Home for Retired Music Teachers, in Germantown, shortly after a Reception Luncheon at the Home.

Standing on the steps, at the back, may be seen the following gen-tlemen: C. F. Jackson, A. A. Stanley, Professor of Music, University of Michigan; Dr. Hugh A. Clarke, Professor of Music at the University of Pennsylvania; Dr. Leonard B. McWhood, Professor of Music at Dart-mouth College (left of column on right) ; C. F.

Cooke, Miss Laura Staley, Mrs. Garrigues, Miss Price, Miss Sleeper, Miss Barrow, Miss Anne McDonough, Miss F. L. T. Seabury, Mrs. Frances E. Clarke, Miss Elizabeth A. Gest. Many others our correspondent has been unable to identify, owing to the fact that this photograph was received only a very short time before going to press, our only apology for what would otherwise seem a dis-courtesy. The convention included many important conferences in which one of the most representative groups of American musical educators ever assembled participated with enthusiasm. In later issues of THE ETUDE we shall hope to present parts of papers and discussions of interest to our readers. Those desiring unmounted photographic prints of this picture may obtain them, postpaid, by sending one dollar to the Philadelphia Com-mercial Photographic Co., at 808 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, Pa.
