Speaking Of the dihiculty incurred
in the choice OF reading material. he
said books, papers and magazines.
good, bad and Indifferent, are pouring
forth from the press very rapidly,
and the one who would choose read
Ing material has the difficulty OF
choosing from the mass. Eighty years
ago man had little difficulty In choos-
Ing from the material that had then
been written, but that has changed
and now there is more than anyone
could possibly read Continuing, he
said:
III you are TO make good use Of
your education, you must choose your
books as you would choose your
friends" He then went into a discus
sion OF the fame of the numerous FAM
Gus writer's and said: "One way that
will carry us a long distance Is to pay
heed to the classics OF the country.>. II
is astonishing 10 note the number of
wen read and leading people there are
who have no idea OF the classics and
know little above the current maya
zine.
"The most interesting parts OF these
works Of art are the human interest
displayed IN some form or another. In
Shakespeare's plays Il is the charac-
ters that appeal" Later he came TO
the books OF Jane Austin, OF which he
said "She introduces you to real
men and women. You like the v.,rks
because you can feel the strong human
characters"
He referred TO the interest OF chill
dren in history. speaking, he said, from
his experience as teacher. In this
too. he said. IL Is the characters that
appeal and in whom the children arc
interested. In closing, Bishop Kins-
man said: There is no good book but

FIFTH PRIZE FOR
LOCAL SINGERS

BY a queer twist of fortune the Della
ware Saengerbund. OF this city which
organization competed with eight sing
ing societies from as many cities at the
National Saengerfest, in New York
lost third prize, and must be content
with fifth place.
Wilmington and the Saengerbund Of
Washington. ID. c.. were tied for third
place. with twenty-four points each.
and the Schweitzer Harmonic, of Ho-
boSen and the Syracuse. N. Y. Lieder-
krantz was tied for second prize with
twenty-five points. The last named So
cieties drew for second and third
prizes and the Harmonic won second
place which gave the Syracuse third
prize. The Wilmington and Washing
ton singers were then compelled to
draw for fourth and fifth prizes and
the Washington Saengerbund drew
fourth place. leaving Wilmington fifth,
although it had tied for third place.
The members of the local organiza-
ton will be home this evening. A re-
ception will be extended TO them at
Turn Hail then in German Tall.
Although the members of the Saen-
gerbund were disappointed because
they did not want first or second prize
they feel that the showing made by
them was appreciated by the public
in New York and they are satisfied
with the manner in which they rem
dered the prize composition.
As the New York German papers
predicted that the contest for first
prize was between the Saengerbunds
OF Wilmington and Washington the
friends Of both these organizations
were much disappointed.
