ANNUAL BETHEL SING TO BE HELD JUNE 11; J ORIGINATED IN
. . - - ' BETHEL. Infl., May 26. "Old FashBoned, Singing," the annual reunion ot the first singing class ot Bethel, and the homecoming of former residents, will be held here Sunday, June 11. Former residents ot Bethel, and as many of the early singing class as are able to be present, will receive a warm greeting from those "who gather in memory of earlier days. The reunion is an outgrowth of a custom, originating with the first singing class, organized about 1858 in Bethel, of gathering the. countryside together for a general reunion and renewal of friendships once a year. Members of the earliest singing class started holding reunions about 40 years ago, entertaining with "singing" after the old fashioned style such as they had learned in the class. So
popular did the festival become, that
in a few years, about 1887, it was made a regular organized affair,, and has been conducted ".under organized
management on the second Sunday in June, ever since. - Members of the early singing class j who are 6till living near here are Mrs. Nancy White, living with her daughter, Mrs. Thomas Pyle, 214 North Twelfth street, Richmond, and Mrs. Lydia Hiatt, living with her, son, Ora Hlatt. 225 South Thirteenth street; Mrs. Annie Vanneuya, living with her daughter, Mrs. R. B. Boren, Fountain City, and Mrs. Annie Tilson, formerly of Hollansburg, but now living with her daughter, Mrs. George Richards, in New Paris, Ohio. Of these, Mrs. White is the only one who was a member of the first class to be organized, others coming in a year or two later. Continued Exhibitions Members of the class continued giving exhibitions of "old fashioned singing" at the homecomings until about five years ago. Much interest attached to the demonstrations, and the choristers always enjoyed close attention from the audience as they sang from the "shaped notes," each singer holding a book in one hand and beating time with the other. The "shaped notes" excite much curiosity among the modern generation, which has had- experience of only one method of writing music. In the old style, followed when the first Bethel singing class studied music, the pitch of each note was denoted by its shape. In some books "figured notes" were used, in which the position of the notes on the scale was denoted by figures written within the signs.
Singing students were compelled to
learn the tune by note in the case of
every new song, after which the teach
er would 'line out" the song, that 13, read it a line at a time, with the class fitting each line to the tune already
learned. Manner of Instruction
The shaped notes, with the syllables designating them, which syllables were used in singing the tune before the song was "lined out," were as follows: Do, equilateral triangle resting on its base; re, half circle, flat side up; me, diamond; fan, right angled triangle; sol, circle or oval, similar to shape of all notes used at pressent, la, square; te, a three-sided figure, the upper side curved and the other two equal in length, the figure resting on the angle formed by them. William Wiley and Ben Tilson, both of Union City, were early teachers of the class, which was organized by Mr. Wiley. Joseph Immel was another early teacher. There were 12 or 14 in the first class, "mostly girls," reports one of the members, and it was regularly depended upon for furnishing the music for entertainments. The mortality of the class was high,
however, according to Mrs. White,
early marriages claiming the feminine members, and thus fulfilling the popular conception of the singing school as one of the earliest and most efficient matrimonial agencies. Felt Need of Reunion As the members of the first clas3 grew older, however, they felt the need for renewal of early friendships, and began to gather once a year, undej: the leadership of their early teacherl William Wiley. The families and friends of the singers also enjoyed the gatherings, and after it-was organized as a formal annual occasion, attendance often ran up into many hundreds,
as many as 1,500 being numbered on occasion. So popular did the Teunion become that neighbors and former residents attending it often came several days early to enjoy the home-coming. 'As early as Thursday buggies and wagons would begin to drive into the village, with increasing arrivals on Friday and Saturday. Early on Sunday the big crowd would come in, vehicles would line both sides of the road for a mile in every direction, and high festival would be enjoyed all day. Friends and relatives would be present from the neighborhoods of Newcastle, Knights-

WILL POWER NEEDED FOR ADVANCEMENT, FOULKE TELLS PUPILS
"Have the power to do the thing
that you don't want to do, if you want
to advance when you face the world,'
William Dudley Foulke told the high
school seniors at the senior chapel ex
ercises Friday morning. Mr. Foulke
said if boys and girls would only control their will power to do the things which are the most difficult, the problem of life will be sure to be solved. "It is the duty of each of you to care for your bodies and develop your minds at the Bame time. Every boy and girl who leaves school should have the power to reason out the problems which will be confronted. The mind must be filled with knowledge of the outside things. Some of these things will be discovered, of course, outside of your education which you receive in school. "Enthusiasm is often a big asset to an individual.. Men who have stood at the greatest heights have been those who were full of enthusiasm over the particular thing which they wanted to do." -- "No man suffers more for the selection of an easy course in his school work, than the one who does the selecting. You may 6ucceed in the course which-is easy for you, but if you are going to do things in this world, you must prepare for the most difficult things, because you will find things very difficult" Orchestra Plays The senior class orchestra played for the chapel exercises and other seniors contributed to the program.

GERMAN PRESIDENT
IS SAID TO BE VERY RETIRING, SOCIALLY (By Associated Press) BERLIN, May 26. In a social sense, President Friedrlca Ebert probably Is the most retiring chief of any European democracy.
Society, as it is understood in other capitals, is non-existent in Berlin. The great majority of the old Prussian aristocracy have withdrawn to the seclusion of their country estates. They have no desire to mix with the "newly rich," and the new order of things is frankly repugnant to them. Visitors are few at 73 Wilhelmstrasse and no country cousins stop to gape at the old palace of the erstwhile court marshal which the president ot the German republic has mad his home. Rarely Is the ex-saddler seen or recognized in public and picture postals of members ot the Hohenzollern family are more plentiful in stationery stores than those ot Fritz Ebert. A formal reception at the presidential residence is therefore something of an event in Berlin. For the first time, Herr Ebert the other evening entertained about 100 of the most prominent German citizens who have made their peace with the present regime, or nearly so. Persons Entertained. Besides cabinet ministers and chiefs of departments, there were university professors, poets, sculptors, musicians, painters, actors, and authors. President. Ebert, welcoming his guests, spoke of his desire to meet personally the present leaders of
thought, arts and sciences of the fatherland and dwelt on the importance such gatherings would have in foster
ing culture which he conceived it was the task of the new republican regime sedulously to promote. . Prof. Adolf von Harnack, theologian, delivered a short allocution on the ancient conception of charity, and Konrad Ansorge, eminent pianist, played Beethoven's Appassionata. The president is a cheerful host, and his first social evening is said to have been a complete success.
HAGERSTOWN GREETS BILLY WITH BAND; COMPLIMENTS TOWN (Special to the Palladium) HAGERSTOWN, May 26. Hagerstown greeted Bill Sunday here today with a brass band, and a procession that proceeded his car to the Community Hall, where he spoke at 10 o'clock in the morning. Complimenting the town on its spirit as manifested In the community building, Sunday said, "But there is Just one suggestion that I can give you that would improve its ventilation 40 percent. If you would Just cut some windows in the sides, it would not af
fect the accoustics, nor heating, butj
would have a real effect on the ventilation."
A chorus of high- school girls had a song for Sunday, entitled, "God Bless You Billy Sunday." It was composed by Miss Florence Bell. A collection of peonies from the Merton Grills Pepny farm was also presented to him, the card attached saying: "God bless our Billy and prosper his great work." ,On the reverse it said, "What Hagerstown does Is superlative. ' Our peonies excel." The reception committee was composed of W. O. Jones, highway superintendent; James M. Knapp, Wayne county representative; Sol Copeland, Albert Hindman, George Harland, Theo sells, Rev. S. H. Caylor, Toad.
McGown, Fred Murray and Ralph Worl. Rev. Caylor presided, while Rev. L. L. Teeter, of the German Baptist church, offered prayer. . A collection was taken for the Bible school in which Mr. Sunday is interested at Winona Lake. An audience of 1,000 listened to Mr. Sunday preach on the 23d Psalm. Immediately afterwards he left for Richmond In the car of Will Romey, ot Richmond.
Child Thrown Through Windshield In Collision Richard Heins, seven-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Otto Heins, National Road West, was thrown through the windshield of his father's car, turned a complete somersault and landed on his feet in the street ahead, when a machine driven by John Lane, collided with the Heins car at the corner of Eleventh and North A streets Thursday. The boy's face was cut across the lips, and nose, and one artery in his temple was cut. He was taken to Reid Memorial hospital, where he was reported Friday as getting along as comfortably as could be expected. The Heins car was driven by H. D. Williams, the chauffeur. Neither Williams nor Lane were injured.

Of late years, however, it has be
come, the custom to serve a picnic dinner at Century hall, a community hall standing on the grounds of the Methodist church, which is used as the assembly hall for the reunion.
Smaller crowds have been present since the development of the auto, which hae made such gatherings less
I unusual. Also there are fewer left
who are interested in the homecoming. However, a special program always is provided, with some special music to take the place of the old fashioned singing which 13 no longer possible, and the occasion is still enjoyed as a home coming. Arrangements this year are under the direction of Rev. R. L. Brown, president of the organization. Mrs. Harry Spencer is secretary and C. E. Anderson vice president.
