RICHMOND. INDIANA. SATURDAY, OCTOBER 22,

JUNIORS MAY TAKE PART IN RICHMOND'S BIG MUSICAL GAME How many songs and instrument- ! l nieces of music can you recog nize? How many can you name? A big game for everybody in the city of Richmond will begin next week, and it will include a great many boys and girls and the idea of the game is to see how many people can recognize a certain number of musical selections. This game or contest will last six weeks. Each day for four days of each of the six weeks, a new piece will be played or sung in many places in the city, in the schools, in Earlham college, in the theatres and in the factories, which will be named and interpreted, that is enough will be told about that selection to make its listeners understand what kind of a piece it is and who wrote it and when it was written. On Friday and Saturday of each week, the four pieces studied during the week will be reviewed. At the end of the six weeks, a concert will be held when all the selections will be played without being named. The people who hear them and who have taken part in the big game, will then write down what he thinks is the name of the piece and of the composer or it Prizes will be awarded to those who can name the greatest number of selections correctly. The .game will be played by the boy3 and girls in the schools begin ning with those in the fifth grade, and will here be in charge of Miss Juliet Nusbaum, assistant to Prof. J. E. Maddy, supervisor of music in the public schools. May Make Scrapbooks. Many of the boys and girls and grownups who will take part In this game will make scrapbooks. What is more fun than to get out a pair of scissors, a bottle of paste, a brush and a pencil, some cut-out stories or pictures and paste them in the order and arrangement we like best in a book. It is lots of tun and nearly everybody likes to make them. Each boy and girl may make a scrapbook or all the children in a room at school may make one together. Clippings about the selection from the newspapers, or stories about the composer or his picture, or pictures which are in subject like the subject of the selection may go into the book. No limit is set on what may be used, one may use anything he likes in his book providing it concerns the selection and its composer. Try it! It will be a great deal of fun and very interesting and at the end you will have a worth while book about great men who wrote music and about the music they wrote. Miss Florence Williams, supervisor of art in the public schools is taking special interest in these scrapbooks and will help the boys and girls in the public schools to make attractive books. Prizes will be given for the best scrapbooks. Week's Selections Announced. Monday morning, Oct. 24 is the day when everybody will begin to play this game. On that morning the song "From the Land of the Sky-Blue Water" written by Cadman will be played. Tuesday, Beethoven's -Minuet in G" will be listened to: Wednesday, the "Triumphal March from Aida," by Verdi; Thursday, the "Sextet from Lucia di Lammermoor" by Donizetti.

H. Slocum. Professor Maddy, Miss Juliet Nusbaum, Miss Lela Longman, Professor Garton, head or the musical department of Earlham college and many of the people in Richmond most interested in the study and the appreciation of music are interested in this game and are working to make it just as interesting and just as friendly and just as worth while a game as possible.
