3The "Stanhope Edition" of nearly three hundred numbers contains a graded series of supplementary school music books by Frederick H. Ripley, formerly headmaster of a Boston School, and Harry L.

11The Edition also includes unisons, two, three, and four part songs for unchanged voices, male quartets, choruses; music for special occasions; and violin music for schools arranged, bowed, cued and fingered by Dr. Albert G. Mitchell.
13Starting as it did, the fostering of American composers and promotion of their works has always been an aim of this Company. Its contribution in this line has been the publishing of the principal works of Charles Wakefield Cadman, the band fundamentals of Carl Webber, and some works of Geoffrey O'Hara, Bruno Huhn, Gertrude Ross, a western composer, Charles Huerter, and H. N. Redman. A popular number of Mr. Cadman's is his Land of the Sky Blue Water. Adam Geibel's Kentucky Babe is also one of their publications.
15Among the recent publications by this company are the following—
17Junior Choir Yearbook by Harry L. Harts, arranged to cover the different seasons of the church year—1933.
18The Junior Choir Anthem Book, composed and arranged by Carl F. and Lenore A. Mueller for unison voices with optional alto. Described in The American Organist as "a splendid collection for every junior choir."
19Thompson's Harmony by John Winter Thompson.
20Key to Thompson's Harmony—for teachers using the harmony book.
