Discuss Standardization of
Music Teaching in Oregon
PORTI-ANH, ORE., June 7.—Hundreds of music
teachers from all parts of Oregon attended the
thirteenth annual convention of the Oregon
Music Teachers' Association held at Medford,
Oregon, the last week in May. Many interest-
ing discussions on all phases of music took
place during the sessions, one of the most con-
structive being the discussion on standardiza-
tion of music teaching in the State. Steps were
taken to have this adjusted by the State legis-
lature at its next convening. A. W. Hulten,
manager of the sheet music department of the
Sherman, Clay & Co. Portland branch, accom-
panied by Maybelle Elliott, his first assistant,
attended the convention, taking with them a
large and complete catalog of the newer ma-
terial, which they placed on display at Asso-
ciation headquarters.

of the American tourist season, and when a
visit to Leipzig may be conveniently included
in an European itinerary. There will be some
10,000 exhibits of products of all kinds, of which
over half a hundred will come from America,
and the displays will be exhibited by buyers
from over forty countries, a good many of them
from the United States.
The annual exposition at Leipzig includes
practically every product of modern and indus-
trial life, and is so arranged that the buyer may
see more in one day at the fair than in a
month's tour of different markets. It is also of
interest to manufacturers who by that means
have an opportunity of studying developments
in their own and allied fields, gaining new ideas
and making profitable business contacts.
The Leipzig Fair is approaching its 700th
anniversary. Originally a picturesque medieval
trading center, it has grown with the times into

nounces that the Nebraska territory, formerly
served by a jobber, will now be under the su-
pervision of the branch office in Omaha.

are so assembled that visitors can make a close
and critical scrutiny of thousands of objects in
the shortest possible time. The Fair is in every
detail a model of efficiency.
America has long recognized the importance
of the Leipzig Fair. A century ago American
buyers crossed the Atlantic in sailing vessels to
attend the Fair. Today representative business
men from all parts of the United States regu-
larly visit Leipzig, spending millions of dollars
in purchases. The possibility of selling Ameri-
can products abroad to widely scattered world
markets through the Leipzig Fair has only re-
cently been realized. The exhibits of American
machinery and novelties of many kinds are now
much in evidence, while a year ago American
automobiles of many kinds completely domi-
nated the international show.

Through an agreement recently consummated,
radio broadcasting station WABC of the
Atlantic Broadcasting Corp., with studios on
the seventeenth floor of Steinway Hall, New
York, has been granted the privilege of broad-
casting recitals and concerts direct from the
Steinway Hall Auditorium, which is recognized
as one of New York's music centers. The sta-
tion not only broadcasts the programs on a
wave length of 309 meters but will also send
out the programs on its short wave station
and on a wave length of 59.5 meters, so that
listeners in all parts of the world may tune in.
