FREDERIC L. BKERMAN BROADCASTING FROM THE STAGE OP THE JEFFERSON THEATER, MUSKEGON.
Frederic L. Beerman, of Muskegon. Mich., not only
devoted his talents to the successful running of his
piano store, but is a pianist of note as was made
known to an audience of many thousands when he
broadcasted several piano numbers from the stage of
the Jefferson Theater, Muskegou, last week.
It is unusual to broadcast in full view of an audi-
ence as was done on that occasion, but as Mr. Beer-
man says, it gives one a complete sense of a listen-
ing multitude and the presence of the theater full of
auditors inspired him to his best efforts for them and
the larger audience of radio fans listening in.
Mr. Beerman is agent for the Chickering in Mus-
kegon and the concert grand used was brought over
from his own store. His performance was enhtusias-
tically received and most favorably reviewed by the
press.

Letter from Holland to Director of Bureau for
Advancement of Music Tells of Beneficent
Use of Music in Institutions.
C. M. Tremaine, director of the National Bureau
for the Advancement of Music, makes public a letter
from William van de Wall which will be of interest
to all who have been following the striking develop-
ments of Mr. van de Wall's work in the application
of music in the treatment of mental patients and in-
mates of correctional institutions. Mr. Tremaine is
one of the original members of the Committee for
the Study of Music in Institutions, which has made
possible these researches, and it is the Bureau that
published Mr. van de Wall's book, "The Utilization
of Music in Prisons and Mental Hospitals," giving
the results of his experiments. The letter is ad-
dressed to Lee F. Hanmer, as chairman of the Com-
mittee, but is intended for all the members.

My dear Mr. Hanmer:
On the eve of my return to the United States via
Fngland it is a great pleasure for me to inform you
that the official recognition in my native country,
Holland, has been a splendid one and an inspiration
to myself and I believe to my countrymen. As a
guest of tie government all the institutions were
thrown open to me. I have been welcomed at the
Department of Justice and have been completing a
tour round the state, inspecting the institutions and
preaching the gospel of music in instftutions and the
American principles of social work and organization
of social relief.
It is a great pleasure for me to tell you that I
found the greatest interest in American methods,
people Hocking together to hear about them. 1 often
spoke i:; three communities in one day.
One of the results of my short visit has been the
organization of a commission for the musical treat-
