OLE EULL'S AMERICAN TOURS
Famous vioiinist Was Always Favc--
lite IN This Country, Where His
Ability Was Recognised.

The first American appearance of
Ole Bull, the renowned Norwegian
violinist, was at the Park theater in
New York 20 years ago on November
Is, 1912. Bull was born in Norway in
1910, and his parents intended him for
TIE church, but from his early child
hood he manifested passion for riu-
first master, Spohr, German violin
list. was not much impressed by his
Norwegian pupil, and discouraged
rathG than encouraged his ambition.
Bull wounded German in duel and
fed to Paris, where he was robbed
OF his money and violin. and, deeply
respondent, threw himself into the
Seine, only to be rescued by river
men. A woman who had witnessed
the attempt at suicide provided him
with the means of continuing his mu-
steal studies, and be soon developed
into a genius. His first American tour
lasted two years, and was a financial
and artistic success. In 1852 ''the
Paganini of the North" returned to
America and attempted to plant a
Scandinavian colony in Pennsylvania,
but lost most of his fortune in the
project and returned to the concert
field. He was from the first a great
favorite with Americans, and at his
death, which occurred at Bergen, Nor
way, in 1880, was sincerely mourned
by thousands on this side of the At
lantic.

In doing what he can TO select those in

We hear great deal about the psy-
chology OF the crowd. The ideals and
principles of any crowd are never so good
as arc the ideals and principles OF the best

why send him to school at all II the

Every ore recognizes that the Adde'S

that both may be worked together: but
let us not forget that the work as Il has
90 do with character Is the most impor-

been recognized as work that can be
done best only in an individual way. II
Is therefore true that the only hope for

as differentiated from his companions and
that he may know intimately those from

Inspiration to be his best self.
The public school system does not per-
nit the teacher to know intimately those
whom he is called upon TO teach. He
does not live with them. II one man
