In the fourth year German music 10
continued through Brahms and Strauss,
including Wagner's life and his operas.
Giinka, the Neo-Russian, the Russian
folk songs. and ecclesiastical music,
are studied IN the NTH year, with valu-
able suggestive programs
As the opportunities to study the Rus
sian music are rather meagre in all but
the larger cities, q book of answers to
the questions has been compiled which
overflow with condensed Information.
There are in preparation for the sixth
years work questions and answers on
the music OF the border countries, in
GLIDING Poland. Scandinavia, Bohemia
and Hungary.
Answers to the German music courses
are also being drawn up.
This plan has been in use for seven
years, with a steady advance in the m
terest of clubs in systematic study Noi
only does a musical society reap untoiu
benefit from a study department, put us

mmunity-especially a smaller one
giving a general upliit to its musicai
appreciation.
The Plan Of Work
While these study books are Intended
mainly for Federation clubs, they may
be used under certain conditions by any
musical organisation or by INDIVIDUALS
Why should not musical clubs In gen.
eral take up some such systematic work
this coming season. As the winter
plans OF old societies are being formu-
lated, II is well to consider this Inn
portant feature OF the National Fedora
uon OF Musical Clubs.
or why not form new clubsH There
are many musical wonderland men, toe
Ito whom such systematic and simple
methods OF broadening their musical
horizon should make a strong appeal
III Il be but to increase our power TO
listen to music intelligently, though we
are absolutely devoid OF the executive
faculty, such q plan Of study should
prove decidedly worth while.

come Unusual Difficulties.

In the construction OF the Amabele
Butterworth railway, in Cape Colony
unusual difficulties had to be sur
mounted, and the result is, from an
engineering point of view, one of the
most remarkable railways in exist
ence. After passing through the Ke
hills the line winds round another
hill, and then, at the lower level,
goes under its own track. This por
ton of the railway is known as the
spiral" At another point the line
travels along the bank of the Mangulu
river for two miles and then doubles
back for a mile and a half, so that
after covering three and half miles
the train is really only half mile to
the good. This section is called the
"zigzag," and, with the spiral, is
unique in South Africa. All along the
Kei heights the route is through cut
tings or on entertainments. Some idea
of its extraordinary character may be
formed from the statement that in
eighteen miles the line falls, or rises
to the extent of 1850 feet-Pall Mall

football that the player should re-

schedule much more strenuous than
this is prima facie evidence of acad-
emic laxity, which means profession
alism. The four-year limit to the
career of an academic is also a
wholesome reminder that football is
not the chief end of life.
Above all, it must be insisted that
the final responsibility for university
standards, for standards of behavior
and standards of honesty, as well as
standards of scholarship, must in Am
erica rest with the university faculty.
To deny this responsibility is not to
escape from it. The student body is
our own creation. The athletes are
representative students. In view of
this responsibility our attitude in mat

COMPULSORY INSURANCE.
German Laborers and Servants Must
Provide for Old Age.

Vice Consul Schlemmer of Mannheim
sends a suggestive report on the ways en-
ployed by the German empire to secure Its
working classes against the evils usually
attendant upon uncared-for old age and
from the inevitable evils of neglect.
Heretofore. he says, the impression has
prevailed in England and, to some extent.
in the United States, that cheap labor and
poor living of the workmen enables the
German manufacturer to compete success
fully with his neighbors in the markets of
the world. There is a committee of six
English mechanics and workingnen visiting
Germany at present for the purpose OF look
ing into conditions and working methods.
All expenses of the trip are paid by the en-
ployers of these men,, the latter being Sc
lected by the various unions to which they
belong, regardless of their political ten
dencies AS a result of their Investigations
they have stated In public speeches. as well
as In private interviews, that they find the
German operatives and workingmen fairly
prosperous and showing but little fnciIna-
ton to emigrate. They do not think that
this satisfactory condition Is caused by poor
living, as most of the men look well, are
we'll housed, and even dress better than
their English colleagues. although foods
