FAMED. si.eINe BOYS OF JENA
ougrowth of Age of Bacchantes or
Wandering Students.

hundreds of years ago the streets
OF Jena and other German towns used
TO echo to the songs of black-robed
MONKS, who went from door to door
Singing and begging aims. Their ex-
ample was followed by bands of poor
students. known as Bacchantes. These
Bacchantcs wandered from one uni
VerSiiy 10 another in search of better
instruction or better means of SUD-
port. Such wandering life was IA.
Vored by the customs of times when
people thought it virtue to give free
ly to all persons seeking help. but
especially to monks and students.
The Bacchantes had with them
younger travelling scholars known as
sklrmlshers, who We're to receive in
struction in return for certain services,
The Younger skirmshor had TO wait
upon his Racchantc, beg, and even
steal for him, and for the most rart
he was very tyranrically used. But
as he was a waif without other prot &C.
ton he had to make the best Of mat

After the reformation in many
places these orphan boys. or waits,

Luther as Il singing boy in Eiscnach
where his srrg attracted the attention
OF the god Frau Gotta. who ad1Eted

Nowadays the old custom of the
choir boys singing fror, house 10

five other towns besides jena in the
whole German empire where this mn
sic can be heard. Once each year the
singing boys go to Eiscnach and sing
before the emperor in the great hall

where the Minnesingers held their
music battles.
