gest, published by Funk u Wagnells Co.,
New ork The title hardly expresses
the contents of this weekly magazine,
which gives digest of the worlds doings
and sayings, portraits of notable people
and reproductions of current caricatures.
To those who want to keep up with cur
rent events it is simply invaluable, and
the subscription price, 81 year, places it
within the reach of everyone.

MUSIC.
The three different ~ stems of music, in
use during the past years, have been con-
tiuued through this year. Observations by
the Music Committee have convinced
them, that impractical working each have
distinct merits and certain minor defects.
1t Is manifestIy desirable. that there
should to uniformity In this. as in all
other departments Of instruction. For II
the present various systems are continued,
effective work in music will be interfered
with, through confusion of theories and
execution. II the pupil learns TO sing or

not to be expected, that the special teacher
Of music can be equally proficient In
three different systems. Even with the
present conditions, Mrs. Merrill reports
good results for the year.
The Music Committee have given this
subject n good deal OF study. 1t Is hoped
that In a short time this experimental
period of music systems will have de-
veloped Q single plan Of lessons, in which
all our teachers and scholars can heartily
unite.
The Committee desire to again place on
record their appreciation OF the work OF
the superintendent, Mr.. Orlando NJ. Lord.
In all matters OF educational interest
he has shown wise conservatism, and
as the executive officer of the committee
he has carried out its wishes with signal
ability. That the confidence of our citi j..

THE YOUNGEST MEMBER OF CON
GRESS.
(From the Washington Post

(From the Washington Post)
"The youngest member of the Fifty.
sixth Congress" has mailed to Washing
ton a circular which is unique. 1t Is
printed In pretty and captivating brown
ink, with wide margin. 1t Is altogeth-
er sweet and lovely thing.
1.-The youngest member" Is Martin IL.
Glynn of Albany. He is little over 20
years of age, and the circulation Of mis-
lacks not in self esteem. He prides him
self upon being born near the birthplaoes
OF Martin Van Buren, and Samuel J.
Tilden. announces that his record as a
student was peerless" and ooDgratu-
lates himself on the fact that he won all
the prizes and carried of all the honors.
But let Mr.. Glyn speak for himself:
'He swings facile pen and has con-
tributed number of articles to the lead
ing magazines of the country. But it Is
as a speaker that he has gained most
prominence, and wherever he has up-
peared he has won golden mends of praise
from the press. His speech at the recent
banquet of the Albany Society of New
York won him laudatory notices from the
pre- IS of the metropolis Although young.
the opinion prcNNIcht
will be- favorably heard in the House Of
Representatives should any measure call
him to the floor during his term of office.
Many mo bouquets does the young
est member" throw at himself. He
speask of his success in the journalistic
world" compliments himself on his pluck
and ability, refers to himself as "tne
hardest kind of student" but admits
rather shyly that he finds time for social
pleasures" Altogether this dark brown
circular gives ono the impression that
there Is no one in 10 with Martin Ii.
Glynn, which is evidently the very i'm
preston Mr.. Glynn desires 70 create.

built. No matter what else its walls
may include, it is but unilnpoItant in
