Behavior among other Children.
$^1$As near as may be converse not with any but those that are good, sober and virtuous. Evil Communications corrupt good Manners. 2 Be not quarrelsome, but rather patiently take, than mischievously occasion any Wrong. 3 Reprove thy Companions as oft as there shall be occasion, for any evil, ​wicked, unlawful or indecent Action or Expression. 4 Give always Place to him that excelleth thee in Quality, Age or Learning. 5 Be willing to take those Words or Actions as Jesting, which thou hast reason to believe were designed as such; and fret not at thy Companions innocent Mirth. 6 If thy Companion be a little too gross or sarcastical in speaking, yet strive not to take notice of it, or be moved at all therewith. 7 Abuse not thy Companion either by Word or Deed. 8 Deal justly among Boys thy Equals, as solicitously as if thou wert a Man with Men, and about Business of higher Importance. 9 Be not selfish altogether, but kind, free and generous to others. 10 Jog not the Table or Desk on which another writes. 11 At play make not thy Clothes, Hands or Face dirty or nasty, nor sit upon the Ground. ​12 Avoid sinful and unlawful Recreations, and all such as prejudice the Welfare of Body or Mind. 13 Scorn not, laugh not at any for their natural Infirmities of Body or Mind; nor because of them, affix to any a vexing Title of Contempt and Reproach, but pity such as are so visited, and be thankful that you are otherwise distinguished and favoured. 14 Adventure not to talk with thy Companion about thy Superiors, to raise Discourse reflecting upon, or touching another's Parents or Masters; nor publish any Thing of thine own Family or Household Affairs. Children must meddle only with the Affairs of Children.

Behaviour at the School.
$^1$Bow at coming in pulling off thy Hat; especially if thy Master or Usher he in the School. 2 Loiter not, but immediately take thine own Seat; and move not from one Place to another, until School Time be over. 3 If any Stranger come into the School rise up and bow, and sit down in thy Place again, keeping a profound Silence. ​4 If thy Master be discoursing in the School with a Stranger, stare not confidently on them, nor hearken to their Talk. 5 Interrupt not thy Master while a Stranger or Visitant is with him, with any Question, Request or Complaint; but defer any such Matter until he be at leisure. 6 At no Time quarrel or talk in the School, but be quiet, peaceable and silent. Much less mayest thou deceive thyself, in trifling away thy precious Time in Play. 7 If thy Master speak to thee, rise up and bow; making thine Answer standing. 8 Bawl not aloud in making Complaints. A Boy's Tongue should never be heard in the School but in answering a Question, or saying his Lesson. 9 If a Stranger speak to thee in School, stand up and answer with Respect and Ceremony, both of Word and Gesture, as if thou speakest to thy Master. 10 Make not haste out of School, but soberly go when thy Turn comes, without Noise or Hurry. ​11 Go not rudely Home through the Streets, stand not talking with Boys to delay thee, but go quietly Home, and with all convenient Haste. 12 When it is Time to return to School again, be sure to be there in Season, and not loiter at Home whilst thy Master is at School. 13 Divulge not to any Person whatsoever, elsewhere, any Thing that hath passed in the School either spoken or done.

# A Mid-Summer Noon in the Australian Forest

* information about this edition.
* sister projects: Wikipedia article, Wikidata item.
Not a bird disturbs the air, There is quiet everywhere; Over plains and over woods What a mighty stillness broods.
 Even the grasshoppers keep Where the coolest shadows sleep; Even the busy ants are found Resting in their pebbled mound; Even the locust clingeth now In silence to the barky bough: And over hills and over plains Quiet, vast and slumbrous, reigns.
 Only there's a drowsy humming From yon warm lagoon slow coming: 'Tis the dragon-hornet — see! All bedaubed resplendently With yellow on a tawny ground — Each rich spot nor square nor round, But rudely heart-shaped, as it were The blurred and hasty impress there, Of vermeil-crusted seal Dusted o'er with golden meal: Only there's a droning where Yon bright beetle gleams the air — Gleams it in its droning flight With a slanting track of light, Till rising in the sunshine higher, Its shards flame out like gems on fire.
 Every other thing is still, Save the ever wakeful rill, Whose cool murmur only throws A cooler comfort round Repose; Or some ripple in the sea Of leafy boughs, where, lazily, Tired Summer, in her forest bower Turning with the noontide hour, Heaves a slumbrous breath, ere she Once more slumbers peacefully.
O 'tis easeful here to lie Hidden from Noon's scorching eye, In this grassy cool recess Musing thus of Quietness.

# A Dictionary of Music and Musicians/Waelrant, Hubert

​WAELRANT, Hubert, one of the most distinguished of the second generation of the great Flemish masters, was born about 1518 at Tongerloo, in the district of Kempenland (North Brabant). An old tradition relates that he went in his youth to Venice, and there studied under the guidance of his great fellow-countryman, Adrian Willaert; but this lacks confirmation, and may very possibly be as apocryphal as the similar story usually told with reference to Sweelinck's sojourn at Venice, and the lessons he had from Zarlino later on in the century. [See Sweelinck.] Be this as it may, Waelrant is found in the year 1544 established in Antwerp, as a singer in the choir of the chapel of the Virgin at Notre Dame. Three years later he had a school of music there, where he introduced a new method of solmisation, that known as bocedisation or the voces Belgicæ. [See Solmisation; Voces Belgicæ.] He is said now to have entered partnership with J. de Laet as a publisher of music; but this was more probably not until 1554. The association lasted until 1567, when de Laet retired or died. Waelrant was twice married, first in 1551, and again before 1568; by his first wife he had six children. He died at Antwerp in his seventy-eighth year, Nov. 19, 1595.
[ R. L. P. ]
* ↑ The discovery of Waelrant's birthplace is due to the researches of M. A. Goovaerts, Histoire et Bibliographie de la Typographie musicale dans les Pays-bas, pp. 38–40, Antwerp 1880. A confusion with a namesake had led to the opinion previously universally accepted, that the musician was a native of Antwerp: see Fétis, s.v.; Mendel and Belssmann, Musikalisches Conversations-Lexikon, xi. 233, 2nd ed. 1880; and also E. vander Straeten, La Musique aux Pays-bas, iii. 201–204, 1875.

# A Dictionary of Music and Musicians/Vroye, Théodore de

​VROYE, Théodore Joseph de, Belgian writer on music, born Aug. 19, 1804, at Villers-la-Ville, between Ottignies and Fleurus (Belgium), was ordained priest in 1828, and has devoted all his spare time to the study of plain-song and the liturgical singing of the church. In 1835 he was appointed Canon and Precentor of the Cathedral of Liege, and conducted the services with a care and taste which produced remarkable results. He published a 'Vespéral' (1829), a 'Graduel' (1831), and a 'Processionale' (1849), which have passed through many editions in Belgium; also, a 'Traité du Plain-Chant' (1839), and a 'Manuale Cantorum' (1849). His last work, 'De la Musique Religieuse' (1866), written in conjunction with the Chevalier Van Elewyck, is a collection of documents and observations relating to the Congresses of Paris (1860) and Mechlin (1863–64) on service music. De Vroye died at Liege, July 29, 1873.

# A Dictionary of Music and Musicians/Wacht am Rhein, Die

​WACHT AM RHEIN, DIE (The guard of the Rhine.) A modern German Volkslied, which during the Franco-Prussian war of 1870–71 was so popular as to become a national song.
The poem is by Max Schneckenburger, a manufacturer, born Feb. 17, 1819, at Thalheim in Würtemberg, and died May 3, 1849, at Burgdorf near Berne. It had its birth in 1840, when ​the left bank of the Rhine was threatened by France, and was soon seized on by composers:—F. Mendel of Berne (1840); Leopold Schröter of Worlitz (1852); and F. W. Bering of Strassburg, and lastly by Carl Wilhelm, the author of the melody given above, born at Schmalkalden in 1815, pupil of Aloys Schmidt, Anton André, and Spohr, and from 1840 to 1865 conductor of the Liedertafel in Crefeld. The song was composed by him as a part-song for men's voices, March 14, 1854, was first sung on the 11th of the following June, and quickly found its way into print. In 1871 Wilhelm received a pension of £150 a-year from the Emperor, but did not long survive his good fortune, as he died Aug. 16, 1873, in his native town, where a monument has been erected to him.
The 'Wacht am Rhein' is the subject of the famous 'National Denkmal' near Bingen, by Johannes Schilling, the sculptor, which was unveiled by the Emperor in 1883. It must not be confounded with another Rhine-song (poem by N. Becker) of equal popularity in its time—
Sie sollen ihn nicht haben, Den freien deutschen Rhein,

​PAUL, ST., or, German, PAULUS. Mendelssohn's first oratorio (op. 36). It was commissioned by the Cecilienverein of Frankfort early in 1832, but was not produced till the Lower Rhine Festival at Düsseldorf, May 22, 1836. For the book—'in the words of Scripture'—he sought the aid of Marx, who however soon disagreed with him, and then of Fürst and Schubring; but his own judgment was always active. [See Mendelssohn, vol. ii. 271b.]
The second performance took place at Liverpool under Sir G. Smart on Oct. 3, 1836. Others in England were, Sacred Harmonic Society, March 7 and Sept. 12, 1837, and Birmingham Festival, under Mendelssohn himself, Sept. 20, 1837. In the interval between the first and second performances it had been revised by the composer, and published (May, 1837). Fourteen numbers were rejected, including two Chorales, 'O treuer Heiland,' and 'Ein' feste Burg.'
