MUSIC AT THE SCHOOLS.
William L. Tomiins Infusing New
Methods Among Thousands.


William L. Tomlins, who gained such a
worldwide reputation in training the i'm
mense children's chorus for the World s
Fair and who is the acknowledged head of
chorus and choral work in this country, is
spending his vacation by introducing his
methods in California. He is drilling large
choruses in this City and in Oakland, in
structing teachers, and dong much work
in the schools.
By permission of the Board of Educa-
ton he has addressed classes in most of
our grammar schools, and yesterday at
Golden Gate Hall he began work on a class
of $40 children selected from the seventh
and eighth grades of twelve schools. He
caught the attention of the children at
once, and they responded in a surprising
manner. He is full of vitality and his in
struction is SO novel and surprising that
the interest never flags. He is gifted with
humor and is on good terms with his class
at once, so that he can be strict or severe,
as he is, without exciting any resentment
He will give this class ten lessons, and by
that time he expects to show results that
will justify concert where the public can
see what children can do when singing is
not perfunctory, but real and natural ex-
preston of what the singer feels.
He is also to give the girls of the High
School ten lessons. and they will probably
appear in second concert. The teachers
of the department.. are greatly interested
and very enthusiastic, and will probably
form a class for instruction, SO that the
work he has begun may be carried forward
when he returns to Chicago. Mr.. Tom
Inns receives no pay. but takes his chances
for remuneration in the success of the con-
certs to be given at the conclusion of the
lessons. The same course was pursued in
Washington not long since, where the
high schools gave up half their lessons for
seventeen days to take his special course.
expressing themselves as well pleased with
the result.

No Contest Is Ever Ended.

Neither here in college, nor out in the
world, is any prize ultimate. No con-
test is ever ended. The miner digs for
coal. The great thing is to dig. to OBJ
serve and to learn. THE highest work
of brain or hand is never paid for"
said great man. The highest prizes
awarded to men are in themselves
valueless. When great nation wishes
to reward a man in the highest degree,
1t ties little ribbon in his buttonhole,
or hangs on his breast a bronze medal
worth only few pence. But these are
symbols of general love. respect and ad-
miration, richer than coronets or cloth
OF gold. But still higher than these is
the medal of honor that no man sees
but one, and he wears 1.-THE medal
that his own conscience hangs upon his
breast. In the loving mystery of Provi-
dence this medal becomes visible to the
people, soon or late, and the reward is
paid.
There is no contest ultimate-not
even that awful one when we are called
on to strip and wrestle with death.
Even then, though tho trial be fore
doomed. the prize is not ultimate. Death
can not carry away everything from the
man he has thrown. The prize indeed
Is precious, for he hangs the life of a
man on his awful breast. But behind
the passage of the victor lives on even
In this world the faithful labor of the
dead man, and the truth, the kindness,

mentum in doing good. You add to your
own force by giving force to the church
You work in, you do more for Christ by
b..ilding up and strengthening the body

each member in spiritual power and
earnestness and liberality. Work to

Is that thousands of children have been
allowed to grow up without forming
and cultivating this habit. sSome par
ents have the foolish notion that 1t does
a child no good to be compelled to at
tend church. They do not reason this
way about attending school or about
the learning of other wholesome habits
The boy who has an aversion to the
daily washing of his face or combing
his hair is not allowed to exercise his
preference In these matters. He learns
habits of neatness, habits of study,
habits of industry, by being compelled
to cultivate such habits. Why not in
the same way teach him the habits OF
reverence, of worship. of Sabbath OBJ
servance and church-going?

ut is no exaggeration to say that

to be deeply interested in the answer.
II enjoyed making money. l think 1t
is a great pleasure to make money.
And when the idea was first suggested
TO me that l Give money away, it did
not please me at all. In fact, it dis
tressed me. But / thought the matter
over, and concluded I'd try 1t on a small
scale. So built the first of the model
tenement houses in London. 1t was a
hard pull. But after it was done, / went
around among the poor people living
in the rooms, so clean and comfortable,
and / had quite new feeling. l en-
joyed 1t very much. So l gave some
more and the feeling increased. And
now can truly say that, much as l en-
joyed making my money. l enjoyed

Duty and Success.

The thoroughly successful man Is he
whose labor is Of real value to the COM
munity, who has formed the habit OF
doing what is before him, unhesitating-
ly and manfully, quite independently of
whether he likes it or not. He has
chosen his work, and takes it just as II
comes; IF it chance to be agreeable, so
much the better; If not, his energies do
not swerve. His question is, not How
much shall l enjoy doing this piece Of
work, or carrying out this new plan in

sary? Is this plan wise?" No question

From New York to San Francisco
there is not city of considerable size

perative need of a vagrancy law
so altered as to include those
variegated desdheads who, under guse
of wagers. are doing" the country
and the people-in their globe-trotting
evolutions. The first man who at
tempted to circumnavigate the earth in
given time while spending other
peoples money was a picturesque
genius. Since that time there have
been a whole host of imitators, and the
fashion seems to be spreading. Not a
week has passed this season when some
frowsy, ambling, down-at-heel sport"
has filled to appear in every big city
TO register" and incidentally to solicit
interviews and ham sandwiches. All
that the vagrant of the statute book ac-
complishes against society is to feed
off 1t without rendering an equivalent.
This the wager-bound tourist accom-
plishes and more. The law presumes
that a man shall not have something
for nothing, and when an individual
capable of earning or paying his way
starts out with the avowed intention of
getting a great deal for nothing he be-
comes at least a nuisance. Thirty days

rrinls Nav necome blessings.

Our severest trials are not to be
spoken of to others, yet they are never
for ourselves alone. When we have a
peculiarly trying experience we ought
to ask ourselves how we can improve
this for the benefit of somebody else.
1t ought to make us wiser and more
sympathetic in behalf Of those who are
suffering because of one through which
they have passed. Personal disap-
pointments that we must keep to our
selves are not to be kept for our
selves. While saying nothing about
them, We ought to feel and speak more
tenderly in view of them, and so our
trials may become blessing to others.
