The Music Festival Association has achieved remarkable success in the short time since its organizat- ion in 1946. said Col. L.. T. Lowther, President of the Associ- ation, in his address to Rntariazis at their luncheon on Monday. sponsored at that time by nine Women's Institutes the first festi- al had only 26 entries, last year the Association first organized on a provincial basis, and 30o entries were heard in the 1947 festival. “We have just concluded the festival for the present year with an entry list of 800." he said. Such growth can only mean that the people are appreciative of the value of music in the schools and are behind the movement.

The first objective, the promot- ion of music in the nrral schools. has met wltb wide approval, said the speaker. He recalled his own experience and the pleasure he rc- ceived when at school from the instructions given by the late Theodore Ross. In those days sing- lng instruct-ion was usually con- fined to "rounds" and although very llcnited. was greatly enjoyed and had left a lasting impression upon him, He wished there ‘had been smnecne like Miss Lillian Maclfemie who has done somuch for present day pupils.

The Govtrnment had lent fin- ancill assistance to about 26 schools all of whom had brought representative groups to make the total number of schools participat- ing thirty this year. compared with five the year before, said Col. howthen.

"You students are very fortunate to have such safe guides in the teaching of science who can fall back upon philosophy and, further still, upon revealed truth, theology. in a subject which plays such an important role in the world," stat- ed Rt. Rev. G, J. McLellan, Vicar General, at the commencement ex- ercises of St. Dunstan’: University Monday afternoon. "These teacu- ers are safe guides because they have therlght blending of theo- logy. philosophy and the natural sciences."

"This institution was founded on sacrifice." continued Monsignor Mcbeiian, "and it's great work has been carried on through sacrifice." He went on to illustrate the great development of the College from one building fifty years ago when he. himself. had graduated in a class of six members, to it's pre- sent stature.

He stated that great things hsd been done in the past by the grad- uates of this College and he hop- ed that they would continue to work "to forward truth, and bring honor to themselves and their Aims Mater."

In his report as Rector cf the University, Rt. Rev. R. V. Mac- Kenzle dealt with the mounting cost of educst’ and emphasised the importance of Christian trsin- ing in the homes as "the cradle of inspiration which must be fostered throughout all school years."

Ass eloquent plea to the grad- uates to "It out today prepared to take your part in skins MIM- cratlc ideas and ide s work.” was made by Dr. G. D. Steel, Principal of Prince of Wales College, in ed- drasalng the [a duates.

Miss Evelyn Hes lan delivered the Valedletory, which evoked many favorable comments.
