''The Merchant of Venice"
Members of the class in English
10, under the direction of Miss
Schlosser and Mr.. Goble, presented
the play 1.-The Merchant of Venice"
before a large audience in the nor
NAL Auditorium last Friday evening.
Though somewhat handicapped by
want Of proper scenery. the play
was given in a remarkably pleasing
way. The whole presentation re-
fected credit upon the coaches.
The players entered into the spirit
of their parts in way which made
the audience forget that 10Th cent
ury production was being given. The
costumes were not much unlike that
of the royalty Of more recent time.
Each member Of the company seem
ed especially adapted to his part.
Space will not permit special men,
ton of each player, yet those who
had especially hard parts and acted
them we'll may be mentioned. Mr..
Giese, as Shylock the Jew, was the
hit of the evening. The make up.
mannerism, and voice were splendid.
The playing was equal in many re-
spects to that of professional Shake
spearean players, Mr. Giese was at
his best in the trial scene.
Miss Winter, as Portia, was charm
ing. Her part was rather difficult
in many places and she did especially
we'll in the ''cssket scene" and in
tha sstrial scene" Mr. Kenneth
White, the Merchant, handled his
part in a becoming way and his
friend Basanio, Burl Slocum. also
took his part well. Mr.. Healey as
Young Gobbo, and Mr.. Sanderson as
Old Gobbo, brought rounds of ap-
plause from the audience.
The court scene" was the most
realistic of the play. The dignity of
a courtroom prevailed during the

MUSIC IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

Considerable discussion has ap-
peared in the public press recently on
the question OF music in the public
schools. whether or not ia should be
taught. Not piano and other instru.
mental music. as that is taught in all
the city schools and In most OF the
rural schools. but singing for all the
pupils
The Eagle takes the position that
every child should be taught to sing
the same that II is taught to read and
write. II is as essentially q part Of
education as anything taught In the
text books. for education. after all
means but three things enlighten
civilize and refine. Nothing can ex
ert so powerful an influence in civlliz
ing and refining as the love Of music
implanted In the heart and soul o
every child.
By teaching them music in the pub
lie schools. II is not to be understood
that they are to be made expert vocal
lists. but the primary objects are L
inculcate in them q love for singing

love for music. to feel that thrill
which music brings. and above all to
know what Is good music. We have
too many men and women. too. who
may be above the average In other
respects, yet, as they put II, could
not carry tune In sack.
Let US have more singing. heart
singing, soul singing. Let us fill the
world with music and II will tender
and soften the hearts OF men and
there will be nt need for such gigan
tic preparation for war. II win hasten
the coming OF that day.

There Is no executive function

above all things. the verdicts OF
juries. when rendered after trials In
which accused persons have enjoyed
every guaranty OF the bill Of rights

"They should not be disturbed mere.

Far transcending the Importance
OF yielding to such solicitations and
gratifying those who make such ap'
peals Is the stern duty OF upholding
the majesty Of the law. without whose
protection, as we know from sad ex.
perience. the safety Of civilization is
imperilled.
while all this Is true as a general
principle. It is especially true in cases
of murder and rape.
There are some people who do not
believe in death as a penalty for any
crime, but that fact ought to have no
weight The law prescribes such a
penalty, and we know. In view Of our
much complicated and inefficient ju.
diciai machinery. that murder Is rare.
