"Dear Mr. Tinsley:
"I take great pleasure in commending your very useful and succinctly written book on 'Tone-Placing and Voice-Development.' Your own appreciation of the psychology of singing and the fundamental principles of the art you have cleverly reduced to a simple system. Cordially yours,
"Father WILLIAM J. FINN, C. S. P.; 
Director Paulist Choristers of Chicago."

From "Music News," Chicago, Ill.: "Accordingly this 'Practical Method of Singing' is a most concise and practical little manual, containing many valuable vocal exercises. It cannot fail to be helpful to all ambitious vocal students."
HELPED HIM GREATLY
"Since I practised your exercises of 'Tone-Placing and Voice-Development' my voice is more resonant than it has been for years. It seems to me that I am getting a new voice." Prof. John T. Layton, Director Coleridge-Taylor Musical Society, 1722 10th St., N. W., Washington, D. C.

WHAT THE WORLD IS SAYING ABOUT
"A Little Dreaming"
By FENTON
JOHNSON
[[image]]
Who is acclaimed by prominent critics, leading authors and the international press as the foremost romantic poet and one of the greatest writers of African strain.
"Praiseworthy in the ways of imagination, mysticism and romance." - Chicago "Daily News."
Josephine Turck Baker, editor of the "Correct English," says: "When the young poet brought his verses to me I felt that a new singer had come among us, singing of love, of passion, of joe and sorrow, sounding the depths and climbing the heights. In the brighter passages there exists the deft touch of the born artist, while in the deeper moments he makes sentient the emotions of the soul-a soul that has lived and suffered."
Published by Peterson Company, Chicago. Vellum de luxe edition, 75 cents, net, illustrated.

THE CRISIS

Vol. 7 - No. 2   DECEMBER, 1913   Whole No. 38

SOCIAL UPLIFT.

MISS MARY VIDA CLARK, assistant secretary of the children's department of the State Charities Aid Association, 289 Fourth Avenue, Room 82, New York, wants to send a charming little colored girl of 3, pictured here, to Darlington, S. C., to a clergyman and his wife, who have agreed to adopt her. These good people became interested in the little girl through Miss Clark's story which appeared in THE CRISIS for January, 1913. Will any readers of THE CRISIS who expect to be traveling South soon, and who would be willing to take the little girl to her new home, kindly communicate with Miss Clark? It would be necessary to take the child to the nearest large city where she could be met.

Carroll Trotty, a colored hotel waiter, rescued a white boy from drowning in the Thunderbolt River in Savannah recently.

The colored people had three floats in the Columbus Day parade in Boston, representing the Crispus Attucks incident, the attack on Fort Wagner and the part played by colored women in the Civil War. One of the prizes awarded for the best portrayal of an historical feature was won by the Crispus Attucks float.

Judge Kananagh, of the Illinois Supreme Court, made a strong plea for justice toward the Negro in a speech delivered before the Irish Fellowship Club in Chicago. He advocated the appointment of a national commission to inquire into the existing discriminations against the Negro.

Colored girls employed as waitresses in Gimbel's department store, in New York City, who were discharged some time ago, have been reinstated.

Among the three heroes of the "Volturno" disaster who stand out above the rest was S. J. Rudder, a colored fireman who stuck to his post, reviving the confidence of the other firemen, and finally jumped into the sea, late in the night.

Recently hotels at St. Louis, Baltimore, Albany, N. Y., Lake George and other places have dismissed white waiters for colored ones.

Tamina, Tex., with a population of white and colored, has a colored postmistress.
