Mr. Jones the soloist of the Glee Clubwon great acclamation in "Hi.s Stars of aSummer Night." The clubs were better than they have ever been before and the leadersdeserve great credit for the good results. TheGlee Club has been coached by Sincere for thepast three months 'and owes its success ina great measure to him.

Allthree clubs were in fine fettle and showed anamount of earnestness which would he hard tobeat. It would be hard to determine which ofthe three did the best, so different were theobstacles which each one had to meet and over­come. The Glee club showed marked Im­provement over its last quarter's form, in factno one would ever know it was the same club.$ .752.50 No amount of praise can be too great for Mr.Sincere under whose able and enthusiasticguidance the club made such rapid progress.Mr. Russell led the club well and in every wayshowed himself a worthy and earnest leader.The Mandolin club under the leadership ofMr. Smith scored a great hit. Their playingwas characterized by a snap and finish whichdrew forth many encores. Indeed the club inmany respects was the best that has ever rep­resented Chicago. The Banjo club in additionto performing creditably deserves additionalpraise on account of their triumph over diffi­cultieswhich at one time threatened its exist­ence. Mr. Davidson, judging from the ap­plause which greeted his re-appcarance, haslost none of his popularity. "Davy" neversang better and with more pleasing effect.Davy ought to be retained indefinitely for suchannual concerts. Mr. Jones showed great ca­pabilities and his contribution was a valuableacquisition to the program. Mr. Gaylard inthe club-role parts charmed everyone. Hesang with great feeling and expression. TheRush Medical quartet fully came up to expec­tation. Their selections were of high qualityand were well rendered.The assemblage was the most brilliant thathas ever gathered to witness an annual concert.The students grouped together according totheir various fraternities and clubs made astriking feature. A hearty and cordial wel­come was afforded the clubs which left nodoubt as to the thorough appreciation of theclubs' hard and faithful work.Alumni club and students one and all are tobe congratulated for their support on the occa­sion, although a much larger delegation shouldhave been present from the University itself.In short, the sixth annual concert was a successin all phases and will be fondly cherished byeveryone so fortunate as to be present. ToManager Frutchey is due much praise for theable manner in which all business arrange­ments were executed. -.

They may be depended uponto make a game fight, however, and shouldcapture a major share of the points .� Burroughs will not run, his place being takenby Merrifield. Merrifield is running fast andwill make a good substitute, but cannot winfrom Klunder, who is a whirlwind at short dis­tances. Fair is expected to avenge his defeatat Milwaukee by beating Pedgrift. His task isthe hardest of the evening to perform. Ma­loney and Russell work nicely together in thehalf and Smith should win the mile events.The hurdles will also go the credit of the 'var­sity. Parker is likely to lower the record asBerg will force him out.The field events will make a " change in busi­ness all around." Karcke, should he approachhis Milwaukee form, will land the high jumpfor the soldiers. Riddle will have it easy inthe shot.

Street and Schmahlare the best of the 'Varsity squad.If the relay race is as close as it was at Mil­waukee the spectators will be treated to somerare sport. The 'Varsity should make a bettershowing this time. Hyde Park should also winover the East Side High School of Milwaukee.. ',Self Culture.Few of the magazines for Februrary presenta more notable list cf writers, or more timelysubjects, than Self Culture, Chronologically,February is a red-letter month in the history ofthe United States, as in that month the twoPresidents whom the people most venerate andlove to honor were born. Recognizing thisfact, the first places in the contents of thenumber are given to an interesting study of thecharacteristics of Washington as a statesmanand as a man of strong individuality in all thewalks of life, by Henry Wade Rodgers, Presi­dent of Northwestern University. Not lesstimely, nor less suggestive, is the paper by Professor Laughlin, of the University of Chi­cago, on "Commissions on the Tariff andMoney," which contains a masterly summaryof the conditions which have created the"boss" in politics, and made possible, we hadalmost said natural, the corruption which illtoo prevalent in both the great political par­ties. These papers, with ten others hardly lessnteresting and valuable, and with the inform­ing matter of the eight departments, make upa number that should challenge the attentionof every lover of good reading, and easilyplace Self Cultur« on a plane of successful com­petiton with the best of the older and morepretentious magazines.

The Long-Suffering Teacher."Of the long-suffering teachers 1 can hardlytrust myself to speak; no nobler army of mar­tyrs ever marched to chambers of torture.Said one, 'I begin the weekly reports Mondaybefore the lessons are recited, else I shouldnever have them ready by Friday night.'"I have seen teachers carry home piles ofmanuscript to be corrected, often spendingSaturday and Sunday at their desks. Mostdismal of tasks; no wonder the professional ...reader of manuscripts goes crazy. Said another,'I am so tired I do not go to church. Unless Ilie around and rest on Sunday I cannot beready for Monday. It seems that to teach any­thing we must know everything. We have towrite essays on subjects that do not touch ourstudies, and there are the long meetings andthe institutes.'" 'What about the institutes?' 1 asked.
