NEBRAsKA's GREAT MUSIC SCHOOL
University school of Music AntIcipat-
ing Very Large Attendance.

school of Music Anticipat-
ing Very Large Attendance.
The University School of Music at Lin
coin is preparing for an unusually large
number of students for the coming year.
Thirty practice rooms nave been added to
the already we'll appointed building and as
many new pianos have been installed.
This is the sixteenth year of the school
and 1t has had a phenomenal growth.
Established In 1894, it has grown from the
smallest beginnings to an enrolment of 600
last year, with the faculty of more than
thirty. The corps Of instructors includes
men of large reputation, and its patronage
covers the entire area west OF the Missis-
sippi, 1t has a large and efficient schoo
orchestra, which presented several stand
ard symphonies last year and gave twenty
six artists and graduating ~recitals.
The musical atmosphere seems very at
tractive to serious students and the COM
prehensive outlines are not excelled by any
of the greater schools of the country. Ne
braska should have much pride in the
possession of such a school, and those who
are contemplating a musical education
should not feel it necessary to go farther
east when such superior advantages are
offered within its borders.

eussion Of serious themes. That points
TO a recognized defect, and so do the com
plants Of educators as to the neglect Of
the Bible. Milton, Shakespeare and the
classics generally. II is safe to say that
there is room for Improvement everywhere,
ard that the reform ought to begin In
the grammar and high schools. II may
be true that there is but little time aud
mental energy for reading before college,
but the little the pupils AVE can be much
better occupied than at present. There is
no boon comparable to that Of a taste and
love for good reading, and the schools
that fail to confer hat boon largely fail
of their purpose.
This is why proper relations between
schools and Libraries are so essential, and
why fitness in the broader sense should
be required Of teachers and Librarians.

GAMBLERS IN ART
SIR HUBERT CALLS

LAToN, NOT LOVE OF ART.

LONDON, Jan. l3.-Sir Hubert Won
Herkimer. a member of the Royal
academy, has stirred the English art
world by a vigorous attack upon col
lectors for paying huge prices for the
canyases of old masters while the
works OF living artists are neglect
ed. Sir Hubert was born In Bavaria.
where he learned To- paint. lie abuses
American millionaires for establishing
record prices in European auction
rooms for old masters. lie calls this
bidding gambling Ia the old masters"
1T is" he says contemporary, the
pride OF price rather than the desire
for bargain that stirs lhc ambition for
the possession OF the old masters. IL
is duel OF two or NOR gich men. de-
string TO secure something which will
give them notoriety. Antiquarian
value is not art value"
Sir Hubert mentions Millet's AN.

The canvas subsequently Fetching

was the same when sold for 5000 as
when an American paid $4,000 for
IT,
1T is monstrous." Sir Hubert ex.
claims. that art should be utilized for
the purpose OF speculation. This
gambling has become disease"
Sir Hubert suggests that such gam.
bling might be restrained by the i'm.
position Of tax based on a sliding
scale OF sale values which the heirs
OF the painter should receive. AS Sir
Hubert himself receives enormous
prices for his paintings from American
and other collectors, the art world ia
unable to see why Sir Hubert com

Sir Philip Burne Jones. whose "a

agrees with Sir Hubert that living art
lists suffer In competition with the old
masters. Sir Philip says: The Am

auctions are not always actuated b,
the love or art for arts sake. Some
wealthy Americans buy famous pic
lures for show. just as their wives In
Newport strive TO outstrip their neigh

continue to strip Europe of its mas

TANcE PLAYS A PART.

FRANKFORT. Jan. l4.-Capt. Hill
debrandt, of the German balloon divls'
ion. dissects the usefulness OF war
balloons as distributors OF explosives
in an article printed in the Weekly for
Science and Technique.
He makes the startling statement
that shooting from an airship will
in future, be deemed no more difficult
than operations with land batteries
since both have TO figure with the air
currents"
AS to the objection that the throw
ing out OF explosives from balloon
might imperil the airship, the captain
explains that the loss Of weight can
be equalized by pumping additional
air into certain chambers.
The war airship," continues the
author has indeed a certain advan

lance at which II must keep 70 avoid

OF lords let fall one significant SEN

tude OF the present house OF peers.
Il find" he said, that half the peer
age were made In my life time, and
for the most part for reasons which
will not bear examination. Such a
manufactured association" he added,
demands criticism"
One of the most delightful lectures
TO which il has ever been my privi'
lege TO listen, was given by NJ. Rene
Bazin, the great French novelist, last
week in London.
NJ. Bazin took for his subject the
French peasantry.
He deplored the absence OF the edu-
Gated classes from the country.
He said that q visit OF few months
was worth absolutely nothing. but that
the man who lived On his estate In the
country, who was the friend and adj
wiser OF his neighbors, was force TO
be reckoned with, and that II he were
Sound man he was real influence
for good
He said that Ii was impossible to
understand the French peasant or any
other peasant by running down TO the
countryside for a few weeks, to col
lect facts for literary purposes-that
one had 10 live the peaceful, monot-
onous. restricted existence in order to
make friends. and that to get at the
heart OF the peasant you required
something more than curiosity-you
must love him II you would underI
stand him.
He emphasized the fact that WONT
an in France was undoubtedly mis-
tress OF the house, and commanded
great respect, that she shared the
knowledge and the interests OF her
husband, and was in this respect n
real partner
You might be mistaken as to this, -
he said, Iii you saw the meals OF Il
great French farmhouse, where you
would observe row OF men sitting
at table. waited on by women; but
make no mistake about it, the woman
has always the upper hand, and it IS
she who elects thus to give the meals
to the men, not the men who COM
mand her services"
Speaking to an interviewer Of Zola,
he said. "Zola was a great man, but
he was the very last man in the world
to understand the genuine French
peasant.
Some OF their brutality and vice he
noted accurately enough, but he was
quite incapable of drawing forth the
jealousy guarded secrets OF their
hearts"

OPIUM SMOKING IS
TAUGHT WOMEN
IN LONDON
SYNDICATE OF AMERICANS SAID
TO HAVE STARTED PARlORS
FOR USE OF PIPE-cHARGED
NOTHING AT FIRST.

LONDON, Jan. 1.-The pernicious
vice Of opium smoking is gradually
being taken up by West End women
principally, 1t is said. through the
agency OF four Americans, who are
making a business of teaching people
to smoke, and acting as retailers OF
the drug.
The quartet, who compose a little
syndicate, came to England early in
the summer and they Immediately set
to, work TO gather about Them a set OF
yensation-seeking women. who soon
fell prey to the habit"
The quartet are now making money
rapidly. They maintain an expensive
fiat. nxuriously furnished. in the
heart of the west end, which the men
and women victims frequent to enjoy
the pipe
AT first the syndicate made no charge
for allowing their victims to taste the
delights of opium, but as the "habit"
began TO fasten on the neophytes, and
they found they could not get along
without the drug. the business acu-
men OF the quartet asserted itself.
The victims found that il was prac-
tically impossible TO obtain opium in
tie Vtel emu uult5S IL was puItudScu
from the quartet. The prices charged
were exorbitant and the profits enor-
nous.
There Is place in London where
anybody who Is known can obtain
opium. but IL lies far east in the slums
OF Radcliffe highway, by the East India
docks, in the Chinese settlements. The
chief dealer Is an aged Chinaman, who
claims To know every American opium
smoker who has ever visited England
They are all obliged to come to him
for their dope" Once a man visits
his place this Chinaman never loses
track OF him, and his memory for
names, locations and his pursuit OF
customers Is marvellous. This China
man seems to know not only the
wereabouts OF his customers, some OF
whom he hasn't seen in years, but
also their financial condition.
The quartet buy their opium OF this
Chinaman and then sell it in turn To
their victims at a greatly enhanced
figure.
The police. who are aware OF the oc
cupation OF the syndicate, seem to be
powerless to interfere in the business
