Camp Mooswa
FOR BOYS UNDER SIXTEEN

Last season two boys from St. Louis (10 and 12 years) attended Camp Mooswa. The mother writes: "Mr. S- and I will go to Europe this Sum- mer, taking our motor car, and we have decided to send our boys to you again. They prefer Mooswa to a European trip, so you see you have won their hearts."
Missouri is some distance from Nova Scotia. Our illustrated booklet will be of interest to parents making a careful selec- tion of a suitable camp for their boys.

If you want to choose your first teacher of SINGING, or to make a change, because you do not notice decided progress in every lesson, go to
Madame C. de Rigaud Telephone, Riverside 1152 2647 Broadway, New York
In any case let her give a frank and reliable opinion and advice regarding your voice.
MME. FRIEDA LANGENDORFF, the great contralto of the Metropolitan Opera, New York, and the Royal Operas of Berlin and Vienna, says:
May Ist, 1908.
I studied under the greatest masters wherever my professional life led me, but I found nowhere as clear and natural a course of tuition as Mme. de Rigaud uses in her lessons. In the many hours spent at her studio I have profited greatly by her thor- oughly scientific method, and I am convinced that with her method of voice treatment she has corrected all kinds of faults in an incredibly short time, and also that she de- velops small voices so that they bloom out too large, individual and attractive ones. To all my young studying colleagues I wish to say that Madame de Rigaud's beauti- ful art of teaching has proven most helpful and valuable. [Translation. ]
Mme. de Rigaud holds a number of equally strong and hearty endorsements from promi- nent singers, which will be furnished on application.

Artist Pupils in All the Leading Opera Houses
The Weigester Studios of Vocal Music
ROBERT S. WEIGESTER Director 862-863 CARNEGIE HALL, NEW YORK
O FFER a complete education for the singer, and invite personal applica- tion or correspondence from those desiring the best in vocal instruction. Pupils accepted at any time between September 15th and June 30th.
In order to place the Weigester method of singing and teaching of sing- ing within the reach of those who are unable to attend the regular winter sessions, a
Summer Term of Six Weeks is held annually near Elmira, N. Y.
Eighth annual session of the Weigester Summer School will open July 20, 1914
This special course has been planned to cover the entire art of singing. This does not mean that a beginner in 6 weeks' time will become a finished singer, but that the entire ground of vocal study is covered by means of lecture, class and private instructions; the principles of correct tone-production are explained, and the qualifications of an artist are brought out, in order that the students may work intelligently by themselves during the time when they are away from an instructor.
Write to our New York address for Booklet C, which gives complete information about Winter and Summer Sessions.and Rates.
