STUDY SONG'S POPULARITY.
Music teachers, meeting in Cleveland, Ohio,, re-
cently in the fiftieth convention of their national as-
sociation, spent a day trying to find what makes a
popular song popular—why, for instance, a song like
"Suwanee River" should live and a similar one like
"Banks of the Wabash" die.
BANG!—WE'RE OFF!
Over 1000 orders were filled the past month to
Professional Artist for this "Song." In every
