JUNIOR NORMAL NOTES
On Friday of last week Mr. Funk,
a visitor in Alliance, delighted us
all by a violin solo, Miss Beuleh
Smith accompanying on the piano.
Mr. Funk, a young man of prepos
sessing manners and appearance, is
evidently one of those who have
music not only in their soul but
clear through to the finger tips. The
writer' Is 'uh'fornihute1y"not'surnel';ntfe Bought; - . The su'ppo.s.it'Jous pupil
ly educated musically to be able to
analyze the playing or to prai.se it
in detail. Suffice it to say that the
music was of the sort that stirs to
the depths, carries one out of one
self, and sometimes 'brings tears to
the eyes.
This Monday we listened to a voc
al solo by Miss Vernon, one of the
Junior Normal students. Paul Thom
as accompanied on the violin and
Mrs. Zediker on the piano. The
Kinging and the accompaniment were
both of a high order, and gave great
pleasure to the hearers. Miss Vern
on has a delightfully pure flexible
voice, and some of her softer notas
especially seem to possess a liquid
quality that inspires a sensation ak'n
to that called up by clear running
brooks, starlit nights of summer, or
sunshine and soft breezes at eaily
mornliTg in a Southern spring.
Tuesday the 2fth was Prof. Re1.
mund's day, and he gave us a talk
to compare favorably with any that
I can remember listening ,to . ficia
the same platform. Perhaps the
word "Success" may be given ns
suggesting the leading thought t the
aJdress; and it was real success that
was referred to, not merely what is
commonly accounted such. Prof. Rei-
mund prefaced his remarks by warn
ing his hearers that all that he
might say would not necessarily be
guaranteed "new and original ', since
what is not worth repeating is sel
dom worth making a fuss about the
first time R is said.
"Success", we must remember, Is
no mushroom growth born tn some
lightning-like flash of "genius" or
inspired illumination; but obedience
to the heavenly vision means endur
ance, drudgery, faithful attention to
detail, painstaking laborious perse
vering effort. And if there be any
other wholesome heroic ingredient
direetly antagonistic and repugnant
to the lazy soul of weak human na
ture it is needed here. It is neces-
sary to success that we know how
to divide and use our time to the
best advantage. If it be vitally jiec
eteary to know how to wisely use
and apportion money, which repre
sents the material results tl the la
bors of humanity, how much more
necei-tary Is it to acquire '.he men

NINETY PERCENT OF OMAHA
DESTROYED HOMES REBUILT
OMAHA. July 3. The relief com
mittee, having in charge the rebuild
ing and restoring of homes damaged
and destroyed by the Easter torna
do, have prosrefsed to the extent
that they have decided to reopen air
the ordinal cases. In this wise, it
4 expee'.fd that many sufferers
from the tornado will be enabled to.
secure additional relief.
When the original assistance was
niven, it was on a ronssrvatlver
bails. This method enabled the
committee to secure more t ho r ought
investigations" cf the distressed and
at the same time, give surh assist
ance that none would suffer from
the effec's cf the tornado.
Since the tornado, the committee
has been meeting daily and now has
a complete record of all cases. In
many Instances, the members feef
that some of the unfortunates are
entitled to more assls'tanee than was
fir liven and to equalize, the de
cision was reached to reconsider the
e-ases.
At the present time, only about
thirty-five families, out cf more than
2,000, remain who are directly de
pendent upon the relief committee.
"Of the mi;ro than 2,000 home.
dmrcyed nnd damaged, more than
ninety per cent have been restored
or recoit-trudkm wcrk has started,"
said V. V. !tsewater. chairman of
the operating committee of the gen
eral relief committee. "As It hut
been less than three months since
the disaster, one can readily under
stand the effe-otive work of the com
mittee. In less than, three month
more. I believe that fully ninety-five
percent will be rebuilt. A pleasing
feature is that the homes are more
substantia) than before and that nut
of the destroyed district has arisen
a better diftrkt. one featured by
belter homes and surrounded by
better conditions.
"The effective organization has
made it M-dble for all those who
desired to rebuild, to do so wkh the
help of the committee, where other
wise they would not have been able.
to reconstruct their homes."-
