2Mr. and Mrs. Edgar Stillman Kelley have been conducting large summer classes in theory, counterpoint and composition at the Cincinnati Conservatory of Music. Mr. Kelley is enthusiastic over the excellent talent which has been disclosed among the summer workers.

Dykeman, formerly instructor in the Ethical Culture School, New York City, now holds the chair of music at the State University of Wisconsin in Madison, and Thomas Giles, another Kelley student, has just been appointed professor of Musical Theory in the State University of Utah, in Salt Lake City. Among others of Mr. Kelley's followers may be mentioned Cyril Graham, the Chicago composer, who was lecturer for the summer school last season at the State University of California at Berkeley.

Stearns, Director of Music at Christian College, Columbia, Missouri, Alexander Russell, New York, the well known song writer and choral conductor, Frederic Ayres of Colorado Springs, who is making himself known in the field of composition, and W.
