ROPER GAS STOVE CLUB Though, perhaps, not taken seriously by the majority of those who happen to have glanced over the announcement the following morning, an important meeting was held by the Isthmian Literary and Musical League in the La Boca Clubhouse on the fifth of last month. The League is a new organization coming into being but a few months prior to its meeting of the fifth, that meeting being the first convened since the ratification of its constitution early this vear.
The League has for its aims and objects the bringing of the literary and musical societies on the Isthmus into closer relationship. so that a competitive spirit in all ventures will be displayed; and, to disseminate in the various communities literature of a nature calculated to improve morality and advance educational standards. For the vigorous prosecution of this work, the League intends to employ its best efforts to publish a small magazine to be developed in proportion to the growth of that organization. member of the League is the venerable La Boca Athenaeum of the silver clubhouse at La Boca, the oldest and most prominent literary society on the Canal Zɔne.
Other members include the promising Forum of the Gatun Silver Clubhouse, the literary branch of the Colon Technical School, the Alliance Literary and Debating Association of the Cristobal Silver Clubhouse and the Etude Club of this city, the last named being the only musical member.
The plans of this new organization remind us of those of the Isthmian League of British West Indians of years ago which, unfortunately, were not properly developed on sound basis and consequently died.
We are not going on record as favoring more useless organizations among the colored people here. There are too many of them at present, But we feel justified in giving prominence to the Isthmian Literary and Musical League with its noble aspirations as set forth in its Constitution.
The League, as has been stated, is a combination of societies nearly all of which have been and are still identified with active community welfare work. One may look back with pride on the educational accomplishments of one of the League foremost members, the literary branch of activities of the La Boca Clubhouse.
This society, which some time ago took on the more classical form of identification La Boca Athenaeumis responsible for many high class programs stretching over a period of about fifteen years. Under its auspices the first singing competition among colored people on the Isthmus was held in which th: now famous West Indian Soprano, Mrs. Olga King, won her first gold medal as first prize, Alfonso Ferreira, champion Isthmian elocutionist, Clan McKenzie, Reynolds, La Boca school teacher, Russell Phillips, local school teacher and Miss Lillias Cragwell of this city, can with others, poiot with pride to medals of high intrinsic worth won by them in literary contests promoted by the literary branch of the La Boca Clubhouse.
It is possible to also recite more or less weighty progressiveness behind the literary branch of the Colon Technical School a school which furnishes most of the talent for, one of the biggest businesses conducted by colored people on the Isthmus. The Alliance Literary and Debating Association which nursed the idea of the League into reality is composed mainly of promising young people and has a good record of lively comunity work. The Gatun Forum. although young, is showing healthy growth and same can be said of the Eude Cluh.
The League is consequently a natural outcome of the progressive thinking of some of our active men and women, In addition to the many West Indians and Panamanians who are linked up with this movement, it is noted with satisfaction that the American Secretaries of La Boca, Gatun and Cristobal Silver Clubhouses have given it their approval and further support by being active members. The Secretary of the Cristobal Clubhouse is Vice President, that of Gatun Clubhouse member of the Managing Board and that of La Boca Clubhouse one of three delegates representing the Athenaeum on the League.
The intention of the League to publish a magazine is quite in order. An organ of that kind would represent a step forward in helping to further the education of the people; if properly developed it should serve to give birth to and foster other educational projects. The League has appealed to us as a necessary field for progressive community welfare work and as such makes a direct automatic appeal for support.
