Effect of Influence of National Bureau for Ad-
vancement of Music Plainly Observed
Throughout Country.
The spread of the influence of the National Bu-
reau for the Advancement of Music, and the wide
diversity of that influence, is reflected to a steadily
increasing extent in its correspondence. The Bureau's
morning mail December 16, for instance, included
six letters of unusual interest, but which are never-
theless typical of its correspondence.
One request, from a women's club in Iowa, stated
that they had heard of the assistance available from
the Bureau through a radio broadcasting station.
Three of the letters were from universities. Cornell
requested the Bureau's literature and suggestions for
use of its new department of child and parent train-
ing. Illinois Wesleyan ordered the Bureau's book,
"The Giving of High School Credits for Private
Music Study," "for reference, and for aid in reorgan-
izing our music school curriculum for high school
students." The University of North Carolina wrote
concerning plans for its Music Memory Contest.
From England came an order and check for the
Bureau's book, "Municipal Aid to Music in America,"
signed by J. T. Coote, advisor to the Miners' Wel-
fare Committee, London. Another from that country
was sent by the Middlesex School of Music at Ux-
bridge, requesting information and literature in con-
nection with National Music Week, and suggestions
for the organization of the movement in England.
The Bureau's daily mail averages about fifty let-
ters. The above examples are mentioned as typifying
the varied fi'eld of its activity and the importance of
the forces which are looking to it for aid.

DEALER REMODELS BUILDING.
Remodeling plans on the building at 128 South
Michigan street, South Bend, Ind., has been carried
out by the C. W. Copp Music Shop, which has ac-
quired a long time lease on the building. Sheet
music, records and demonstrating booths occupy the
first floor with the shipping and repair rooms in the
rear. The Madelyn music studios occupy the rear of
the second floor. A recital hall and sale parlor are
located in the front part of the second floor.
There is nothing to compare
with the complete line of
PIANO MAN SUES ESTATE.
The $1,000,000 Chicago estate of William N. Mc-
Clintock, for whose death his guardian, William
Darling Shepherd, was tried and acquitted on a mur-
der charge, was made defendant in a personal injury
suit for $15,000 filed by L. W. Foster, Wilmette, a
piano salesman. On Nov. 4, 1924, the piano man
was injured by an automobile driven by young Mc-
Clintock.
