CHALLENGE How Shall We Teach a Child to Reach
CHALLENGE How shall we teach A child to reach Beyond himself and touch The stars, We, who have stooped so much? How shall we say to Him, "The way of life Is through the gate Of Love" We, who have learned to hate? Author Unknown Great ideals and principles do not live from genera- tion to generation just because they are right, not even because they are carefully legislated. Ideals and principles continue from generation to genera- tion only when they are built into the hearts of children as they grow up. --George S. Benson from "World Scouting" RECIPE (For one dealing with children) Take lots and lots of common sense, Mix well with some intelligence; Add patience, it will take enough To keep it all from being tough; Remove all nerves (there's no place for them, Childish noises only jar them); Sprinkle well with ready laughter, This adds a better flavor after; Put sense of humor in to spice it, Add love and understanding. Ice it With disposition sweet and mild, You're ready now to train a child. --Margaret Hite Yarbrough CHORISTERS GUILD LETTERS Volume XIII 1961-62 September Number 1 Ruth Krehbiel Jacobs, Founder Arthur Leslie Jacobs, Editor Norma Lowder, Associate Editor Helen Kemp and Nancy Poore Tufts, Contributing Editors Published for its members by the CHORISTERS GUILD Box 211 Santa Barbara, California Copyright (C) 1961 Choristers Guild - 1 - Several years ago, the following appeared in the first Fall issue of the Letters.

Press Release Nippon Columbia Issues Notice of Consolidated
November 13, 2012 Press Release Nippon Columbia Issues Notice of Consolidated Business Results for Second Quarter of Fiscal Year Ending March 2013 Nippon Columbia Co., Ltd. (hereinafter the Company; Head Office: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director/President and Chief Operating Officer (COO): Yasuharu Hara) today gives notice that it has issued its consolidated business results indicating the Company’s overall performance for the period up to the second quarter of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2013 (April 1 ~ September 30, 2012). Consolidated Business Performance for Second Quarter FY2012 The Japanese music market continues to struggle in a difficult business environment. During the period from January to September 2012, the total production of music titles including music video titles increased by 7% compared with the same period in 2011. However, during the period from January to June 2012 (latest available information), actual sales of paid music downloads decreased by 25% compared with the same period in 2011 (Recording Industry Association of Japan). 1. Sales Revenue During the period of up to the second quarter ending March 31, the Company’s cumulative consolidated sales revenue totaled 6,513 million yen (a decrease of 3.5% compared with the same period of the previous fiscal year). Despite the contributions of animation-related music titles and of the Nintendo 3DS “Kobito Zukan Kobito Kansatsu Set” to sales in the Sales/Digital Distribution Business, there was a decline in digital distribution sales centered on J-Pop titles. Moreover, a downturn in sales by the Company’s US music production subsidiary due to postponements and cancellations of major releases also contributed to the overall decline in sales revenue. -
