FAMED sI;. .aINe BOYS OF JENA
Ougrowth of Age Of Bacchantes or
Wandering Students.

hundreds of years ago the streets
OF Jcra and other German towns used
to echo Ia the SONGS of black-robed
monks, who went from door to door
singing and begging aims. Their ex-
ample was followed by band; of roar
students, known as Bacchantes. These
Bacchantes wandered from one uni
Versily 10 another in search of better
instruction or better means of sup-
port. Such a wandering life was IA
vorcd by the customs of times when
people thought 1t 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
skirmishers, who were to receive in
struction in return for certain services.
The younger skirmisher had to wait
upon his Bacchsnte. beg, and even
steal for him, and for the most rart
he was very tyrannically used. But
as he was a waif without other protcc.
ton he had to make the best of mat
ters.
After the reformation in many
places these orphan boys, or waits,
were banded into organized choirs,
who received pay from chu; ches. but
also were assisted by private "ub.
scriptions. 1t was their duty to sing
not only In the churches. but before
the houses Of their patrons as we'll.
Thus they ceased 10 be beggars. Mar
tin Luther himself rs a boy had been
one of these singers. and it was large
ly due to his influence that the old
custom Of begging entirely passed
away. There is n fqmous r;ctu-e OF
Luther as singing boy In Eisenach
where his song attracted The attention
of the coed Frau Gotta. who adopted
and educated him.
Nowadays the old custom of the
choir boys singing FROM house 10
house is fading away. There are only
five other towns besides Jena in the
whole German empire where this mu-
sic can be heard. Once each year the
singing boys go to Eisenach and sing
before The emperor In the great hall
of the historic castle Of the Wartburg,
where the Minnesingers held their
music battles.
There are just 20 Of the Jena sing.
Ing boys. five each Of the ages Of -
IL, 13 and IA years. They are
phans, and the only qualification Tor
the privilege of four years board ar
schooling are good character, ah;l'

quires them to sing before the hoUs

ment and did so much good in such a
short while. Many that suffered with
chronic stomach. liver. kidney and rheu-

KILL THE LOVE BILL

The action of the House of Dele
gates. few days since, in passing
the Love bill. providing that the
State Board Of Education shall only
name as division superintendent
men who reside in the county or city.
has aroused a storm of protest from
newspapers and citizens all over the
State, and in our opinion the protest
ID righteous one.
This newspaper is a friend of the
public school system, and it is with
deep regret that we see anything
done what is apt to retard the
growth or progress of this system.
At the time the Board Of Education
named the present superintendent,
We took occasion to congratulate its
members on their action in disre-
garding local political rings and
cliques in the several counties and
cities and appointing men with an
eye single to the interests of the
schools. They were able. by reason
of the fact that they had the whole
State to select from, to put first
class men in Office; but under the
drastic provisions of the Love bill,
IL the Senate is so unwise as to adopt
it, they will be compelled to make
their choice hereafter from a very
limited territory. to the resulting
injury of the school system in Vir-
ginia.
Nothing so pernicious, in the way
of school legislation, has passed
either branch of the General Assem-
bly, for many years, and it is sincere
ly to be hoped that the State Senate
viii refuse to again make these local
superintendents pie-counter prizes
for local politicians in Virginia.
Prejudice against the State Board
of Education, which manifests itself
in this way, is narrow and unreason-
able. and the sooner the people and
the press let their disapproval be-
come known, the sooner will it van
ish. The board is composed of splen-
did men, and they have done a splen-
did work. which a few politicians
now want to undo.
