    |  | Miss Isabella Beaton was the daughter 
    of Grinnell's best musical critic in 1870, and of a mother of excellent musical ability. She has been prominent 
    in
 musical circles since she was four years old and was concert pianist for 
    Iowa College at twelve. She graduated from the Iowa College Conservatory of 
    Music, studied five years under most eminent instructors and composers in 
    Berlin University and at Paris, like Koch, Moszkowski, Friedlander, 
    Bellerman and Berthelier, and by special invitation has given an exhibition 
    of her skill before the royal families of Spain, Austria and England.
 She was at the head of the Cleveland School of Music in the department of
 history, and has made it very strong. We cannot take the space to tell of 
    her
 musical victories in Europe and America, her permission to Japan to publish 
    her compositions and the history of her musical engagements for this year 
    and the next, nor of the incorporation of "The Beaton School of Music" 
    in Cleveland, and of her devotion to raising its endowment fund to $75,000. 
    She is a lady of rare talent, ceaseless industry, and a favorite everywhere. 
    Nature and effort combine to give her a first place in many superiorities.
