THE: MUSIC TRADE:
ANENT INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION.
The National Society for the Promotion of In-
dustrial Education Only Recently Organized
Is Doing Some Good Work in Bringing to
Public Notice the Value of Industrial Train-
ing in This Country.
President Eliot of Harvard, and his associates
on the famous Committee of Ten, prepared a few
years ago a report dealing with the curriculum
for elementary schools, which has deeply af-
fected the schools of this country. The National
Society for the Promotion of Industrial Educa-
tion has recently organized a Committee of Ten
to consider the relations of industrial training
to the elementary schools > and this promises to
be as far reaching in its effect. Dr. Henry S.
Pritchett, President of the Carnegie Foundation
for the Advancement of Teaching, is chairman
of the committee.
The headquarters of the National Society fcr
the Promotion of Industrial Education at 546
Fifth avenue, New York, serves as a meeting
place for those interested in industrial educa-
tion. Here will be found information regarding
what has been accomplished in Germany and
other countries for the establishment of trade
schools and the cooperation between colleges and
the trades in which the apprenticeship system
is maintained.
Prof. Charles R. Richards, of Teachers' Col-
lege, was the secretary during the first year of
the society's existence. He has recently retired,
and the board of managers has elected Dr. James
P. Haney as its secretary. Dr. Haney has been
actively connected with the New York public
schools for twenty years, and is now the director
of art and manual training for the boroughs of
Manhattan and the Bronx. He has been associ-
ated from the first with the group of men who
are actively engaged in the promotion of indus-
trial education in this country.
The National Society for the Promotion of
Industrial Education has decided to organize
state associations. At the meeting of the board

of managers recently held in New York City
plans were perfected for establishing these
branch societies in thirty-eight states. This tes-
tifies to the rapid growth of the society, which
held its first annual meeting in January of this
year at Chicago.

MANY VISITORS TO BEHNING'S.
The Behning Piano Co., as a result of invita-
tions sent out to old customers and leading mu-
sical people of New York, have had many vis-
itors to their new retail warerooms at 313 Lenox
avenue, near 125th street, where they are show-
ing a very fine line of their grand, player and
upright pianos.
BURKE-HUME CO.'S NEW ttUARTERS.

Groeneveld, president of the Breslin Piano Co.,
97-99 Southern Boulevard, has made steady busi-
ness headway, and within six weeks has placed
the line with over thirty-five new agencies, and
these cover wide territory. Mr. Groeneveld can-
vassed the trade most thoroughly, and with a
trade-winning proposition which the Breslin
piano is sure to prove, looks forward to scoring
a big business this fall. One of the quick-selling
pianos made by the Breslin Co. is their style D
shown herewith. The case is of mahogany,
ACTION
RELIABILITY
The Burke-Hume Piano Co., Norfolk, Va., have
leased the big corner store at Granby and Wash-
ington streets, which they will occupy within a
week or so.
The Leeds Piano Co. are arranging to move
from their present quarters in Des Moines, la.,
to their new building at Ninth and Locust
streets, which is now nearing completion.
J. H. Schmitz has opened a new store in
Greene, la.
In order that pianos may prove satisfac-
tory in every respect it is necessary that
the actions be first class in every particu-
lar, for action reliability is a vital
necessity in piano construction. The
STAIB-ABENDSCHEIN
action is manufactured under the supervision of the men whose name it bears and who take
an honest pride in turning out first class workmanship.
On account of its excellence and reliability the S T A I B - A B E N D S C H E I N
has advanced year by year in the estimation of critical piano men.
