Mrs. Korn displayed that she possesses knowledge, invention and the technic of the composer. Her themes are interesting, and often beautiful, and their harmonic surroundings are expressive and appropriate." The East Orange Gazette, and the Newark Evening News had equally flattering notices.

74FLETCHER MUSIC METHOD.—Mrs. Evelyn A. Fletcher-Copp has just returned to London from Germany, where she has been lecturing with great success upon the Fletcher music method. At Leipsic she gave five lectures, great enthusiasm and interest being shown. Mrs. Fletcher-Copp met a number of the prominent musicians of Germany during her stay, and has the indorsement of many of them. Arthur Nikisch expressed himself as greatly interested in the Fletcher music method, as did also Dr. Hugo Reiman, Herr Director Max Vogel, Herr Pfanzl, Herr Director Fuchs and many others. In Dresden two lectures were given, the result of the visit being that Mrs. Fletcher-Copp will have to revisit Germany and England every year in future.
76In London a normal class of eighteen is keeping Her busy. She finds the need of "child education" very necessary abroad. The work will be carried on by competent teachers and beneficial results will accrue.
78Mrs. Fletcher-Copp hopes to return to this country about the end of February.
