The University Of Idaho Glee Clul

hearts of the people of central Idaho
as one of the most finished organiza-
tions of it's kind that has ever visit
ed them. This sentiment was most
pronounced on the present tour of the
club which included Lapwai, Grange
vile, Nezperce, and Lewiston. The
club will undoubtedly meet with a
fine reception at Troy tonight.
No little credit is due Eugene H.
Storer, head of the music department
at the university, for the excellent or
ganization that has been formed and
which has not alone been a source of
real profit to the members of the
club but has been the means of
bringing pleasure to those who have
heard them in open concert as well
as forcibly impressing the people with
the excellent work being done at the
At Lapwai the attendance was far

probation by putting out the Stand

night agve the glee club the welcome
royal. The Temple theater was pack
ed to overf1owing. The event was
known as School festival night. The
enthusiasm ran riot and each number
on the program was called for encore
after encore.
The glee club as a whole would do
credit in its program in larger cities
than those visited. The work of the
club shows high degree of training.
Many who witnessed the perform

is on par with that of profession

60 70 SUNDAY SCHOOL
By ERNEST o. SELLERS
Director of Sunday School Cour,o
Moody Bible Institute
THE TESTIMONY OF PROMi-
NENT EDUCATORS.

n 8 ONE would naturally expect,
[ a there is the widest possible
range of testimony from leading
educators, college and university
presidents and pedagogical experts.
Some who look upon the work only
from the technical side and COM
pare it with secular education con-
denim the work most severely
l while others, having equal expert
] ence and taking into consideration
the handicaps under which it
works, commend in equally as
strong terms. Among such is Pres
| 1dent NJ. L. Burton of Smith Col
lege for Women Professor Burton
still treasures gold medal which,
as boy, he received for five years
OF perfect attendance at the Pill
grim Congregational Sunday school
OF Minneapolis. He says: ~ have
no hesitancy in saying that the
Sunday school was one Of the
strongest of the influences making
for character and integrity which
have been brought to bear upon
my life. l wish it were possible
for me to convey fully my appre-
citation Of the service SO faithfully
and lovingly bestowed upon me at
that time. Unquestionably the
Sunday school lies at the basis of
Christian character and democrat
ic citizenship True and lasting
democracy and genuine brother
hood of man is only possible as the
character Of the citizen is trans
formed according to the ideals of
the Teacher of Nazareth.
President Benjamin Ide Wheeler
Of the University Of California says
In letter of recent date: "Since
my freshman dsys at Brown in
1871 until quite recently have
taught in the Sunday school. It
has been serviceabIe to me In many /
ways. OF course much time and !
effort is wasted, but the overplus |
of good in the form of associations !
and spirit to those who have had
the good fortune to be regular at
tendants upon Sunday school
classes far outweighs any such
loss" Professor Wheeler knows
the limitations and realizes the
weaknesses of this work, but still
ls aware of the contribution being l
made and is lending his aid and
counsel in solving these problems,
hence he is one who has q right to
speak about the Sunday school, and
% whose opinion we should give
,areful and respectful attention.
