Miss Ruth Lindsay, the accomp lished supervisor of the musical de partment of the city schools, brought to the luncheon children from the first grades of the city schools, the eight grade puplis to show the pro gress that the children made in the study of music and which was a real revelation to the members of the club who were not familiar with the musical work in the school. The aptness of the children and the fine training that they have received at the hands of Miss Lindsay has given the schools a fine showing and one that the Rotarians were delighted with.
