It was the original plan of the edi
tors to devote the first page of this
issue to the six departments of the
club; but, owing to a misunderstand
ing' as to the date of publication, the
-Musical Chairman failed to arrive
with her column in time to claim her
space. This seems unfortunate be
cause the -Musical Department has al
ways been one of the important de
partments. It has stood for the best
in music and to a great extent has
influenced popular taste and opinion.
We have tried to emphasize the fact
that music is really a very practical
art, for through its very spirituality
it makes for higher thinking and
higher living which, reduced to piac
tical terms, means better citizenship.
The question of the influence of mu
sic on the formation of character ha?
long ceased to be discussed. We see
the answer in our public schools
where music is given a place in the
curriculum along wth literature,
mathematics and science. The boy
or girl who in school reads the clas
sics in literature seldom degenerates
into the yellow-back dime novel, and
we firmly believe that if the musical
classics were as carefully taught,
there would be less degeneracy of
musical taste.
j Hut I meant to tell briefly some
j thing about our plan of study for this
year. It begins with music of the
I Old Testament, which includes the
early Egyptian and Hebrew music
and the Psalms; of David. Thonce
through the Grecian song and dance,
I the mystery, miracle and passion
'plays, then the Roman music, Grego-
Han chant, the hymns of the early
Christians; Luther and his influence
on German classical composers, and
finally through them reaching our
present oratorio. We shall expect
to do very little illustrating in these
class meetings, the only available ma
terial being selections from Old Tes
tament oratorios. Instead, it is our
purpose to put our work on public
recitals which we will give from time
to time during the year.
TO OI K IWTKONS.
The Woman's Club makes no apol
ogy in coming before you with its An
nual. The club is one of Palatka's old
and distinguished institutions. Its
aim, from the beginning to the pres
ent, has been, not to perpetuate itself
but to work always for a better moral
and social standard for our people and
to aid in beautifying and building up
the whole city. The club has never
worked selfishly. Today, after twen
ty years of life and constant work it
has boeght a lot and lias a few hun
dreds of dollars stored away for its
ur" i'.-.c.
During this long period, thousands
of dollars have been expended (raised
by its members) in school work, in
tree planting, care of parks, both the
i Public Library and that of the public
school, the Salvation Army, the Chil-
j dren's Home society, the Associated
Ch-ritio:;, ar l ether things of a like
iiuiturc for the benefit of the public.
The club has outgrown the capacity
of private meeting places. The club
movement demands and deserves to
I be encouraged by having a home of
i its own. All of these things have
j been accomplished through the united
! efforts of the members in giving en
j tertainments, voluntary subscriptions
! or small club dues of $1.75 per year.
; What men's club would think of ex
isting on a membership fee of $1.75
per year? We ask our readers to
; stop and ponder this. Yet year after
I year the good work has gone on.
The generous response, attested
! by our list of advertisers, shows what
j business men and our public spirited
' citizens think of the club's work.
1 There has been a great deal of hard
work and responsibility attached to
getting out this paper. However, the
end has fully justified the means. We
heartily thank you and will be de
lighted to welcome you to our new
home, as soon as it can be built.

Tortuous are thy many turnings,
Make gradual thy descent
To thi' liroud .St. Johns below thee

Scarlet lluwers in rare profusion
Screen thy banks along the way.
Yellow lilies spread their petals,
And the lily-pads unfold.

With their waxy green and gold.
T-ive oaks, green thro' every season,

Sweet magnolias form this jungle,
Tall palmettos crown their crest.
Fishes warn the diving turtles.
Turtles run and tell the snakes,
And as alligators listen.

Bring the glad day to its close.
Then from lights on iron boat top

And the jungle is illumined
While its wonders we explore.

Fearing lest our voices may
Wake the moss-draped trees, and cause

With a strange weird awesome host.
