I Surely no teacher of merit and experience
will refuse to do so.
l, for one. am willing to appear on a con-
cert program to be known only as a teach
ers' concert" this entertainment to be
given in one of the best churches where
there is a good pipe organ. Now, / do not
mean to give a free concert, but charge a
moderate admission, say so cents, the ex-
penses of this entertainment to be paid out
out of the receipts and the remaining pro-
ceeds to go to some charitable institution.
Then there are other reasons for giving
this entertainment. We may then see how
many people wish to show their apprecia-
tion of the teachers. OF course we have a
great many people in Omaha who are
musical and study music as an education as
well as for their great love of the art. But,
alas! they are in the minority. We have a
number of teachers in Omaha Il judge ac-
cording to my knowledge about half a
DOZEN whose names are sufficient to guar
antee a first class concert.
l trust you will give this matter your
careful consideration and join me in this
happy thought OF bringing the teachers to-
gether in the near future for an evening OF
music and pleasure. Most tremendously,
A. DELMORE CHENEY.
The advantages of the plan are numerous,
and at first glance it occurs to one that 1t
would tend to bring together the teachers
who know each other but very slightly, II
at all. This talk which one hears so fire.
quently about teachers fighting and quar-
reling and all that is largely the result OF
a preconceived idea in the minds of some
that they should agree to disagree. There is
more harm done in this and every town by
pupils of teachers than by teachers them
selves. OF course, there must be and
doubtless are some teachers who encourage
gossip amongst their students, but none of
the best teachers do so. They think too
much of themselves and of their pro-
fession.
The real mischief made amongst must
clans is largely to be laid at the feet of
that despicable and ignorant and conceited
individual-the tramp" pupil. The writer
was asked for a definition OF the term
tramp" pupil, and the best answer he
could thing of at the time was "eyerybody's
pupil and nobody's student" The definition
still holds good.
Mr.. Cheney's scheme would have a very
strong effect in ameliorating the ethics OF
the profession and in drawing the line be-
tween professional and amateur affairs.
They are as distinct as physicians and
druggists, and there is need of both.

At a pleasant little town in lowe an or
ganist gave a recital last week and inter-
spersed he Instrumental numbers with
some incidents and anecdotes relative
thereto. While doing so he observed a
mar sitting on the frcnt seat and looking
with intensity at the speaker, his hand was
held to his ear and with apparent effort he
heard the words that were spoken. This
induced tue speaker to raise his voice and
in fact to direct it almost entirely TO the
individual who was so eager to hear what
was going on. The smile which lighted up
the face of this man was an encouragement

the terminus of that branch line that they

amicable nature-they were beginning to
grow somewhat Eganesque when the gentle
voice Of John was heard humming a bar or
two OF music and the sweet, patient look
on that beautiful face was a reproof not to

And il was not until John was told that
he would have to go back and wait until
the next day before making his trip to
Springfield, Mo-, that a cloud came over his
features, for he has the most childlike love
for travel. But it was onfy momentary, for
the sunshine was back again, and as the
organist pressed the hand Of John and said

which he had heard were so warmly given
