richer and more rewardful as the
years go by. The only one who says
youth is the bent time of life Is one
who has bad some great misfortune
to embitter their later years. Youth
Is the mo6t important time of life
for we have more time then, unless
we live a purposeless life when we
are older. Don't we really do the
things we wish to do?" asked Mrs.
Sheldon. "If we care supremely to do
something, ninety-nine times out of a
hundred we do It, whether It Is Joy
or duty. The real gain in a person's
life Is when a person realizes this
fact. We are all so busy doing things
not worth doing not bad, but not
worth doing in comparison with what
we could do. It is for each one to
decide for her own individual case,
what is worth doing.
"'All that you do, do with your
might,'
" 'For things done by halves are never
done right.'"
Mrs. Sheldon added:
"Learn not what to do,
"And learn what to slight."
"Some things must be done right,
some things are hot worth doing at
all, and some things are worth slight
ing. Teachers wear pupils out by In
sisting that many things which are
not worth it, must be done thorough
ly. "Later in life is Is hard to change
our habits. No matter what course a
person takes in school, whether it is
a man or woman, a sense of sight and
of hearing should be cultivated. Many
college graduates have 'Eyes to see,
and see not; ears to hear, and hear
not;' and then they miss the great
things of this universe. Aim to have
a seeing eye and a hearing ear. If
you have those, life never grows dull.
"It is more important to develop an
inner sight, which is more rarely
done. Take the culture studies, the
fine arts. Read good literature and
poetry, translations of the Illiad and
Odessy, Vergil, Dante, Goethe, and
Shakespeare, for there are very tew
of the best writers. Time is too prec
ious to do anything but good read
ing. "Old Hebrew literature, our Bible,
is so rich and rewardful in its study.
"Youth Is the time for living but be
sure that It Is a profitable living. Have
a good time but do not waste It."

Music, as a cultivated art, assumed
two forms in mediaeval times the
music of the church and of the min
strelsy. Church music developed from
the music of the classical nations,
with which It preserved a tenuous con
nection. Minstrelsy in all west Euro
pean countries was the art of profes
sional lay musicians bards, glee men,
Jongleurs, who sang the deeds and
adventures of lords and ladies. Even
tually the two sources flowed together
to form the richer stream of modern
music.
There Is small doubt that the min
strel's art reached a level of high cul
tivation earlier in Ireland than In any
other portion of the British Isles,
probably earlier than on the Conti
nent. Fragments of barbie poetry of
ancient date are preserved in the saga
literature of Ireland, along with vivid
pictures of the social importance of
the professional bard and the high es
timate set upon his art The harp
was then, as now, the national instru
ment; though perhaps it Is truer to
say that the harp was national to all
Western Europe In the Middle Ages,
and has become the Symbolic instru
ment of Ireland chiefly through its
more conservative retention there,
ancient in Ireland, the Irish songs
But while minstrelsy is undoubtedly
known to us are mainly of recent date.
none of them being certainly so old as
the older English and Scottish songs,
despite the claims of enthusiasts,
who sometimes exaggerate the anti
quity of the Irish traditional songs.
Of the quality of Irish music, Er
nest Walker says: "Few musicians
have been found to question the as
sertion that Irish folk-music is, on the
whole, the finest that exists, it ranges
with wonderful ease over the whole
gamut of human emotion from the
cradle to the battel field, and is un
surpassed in poetical and artistic
charm. If musical composition meant
nothing more than tunes sixteen bars
long, Ireland could claim some of the
greatest composers that have ever
lived; for In their miniature form the
best Irish folk-tunes are gems of ab
solutely flawless lustre, and though of
course, some of them are relatively
undistlnctive, it is very rare to meet
