ten young schoolma'anis who had reasons
to take offence al this edict haniled In
their resignations. Some of them hud been

would have reidgned sooner if they had
not already been paid up to the close of
the season. The board allows the teach
ers at the close of the schools for the
summer to draw their su'arles for July
and August In advance. The prospective
summer brides were very secretive about
their wedding arrangement when thev
applied for the advance payments, one
of the ten is said to have been married

WEATHER AND THE PUBLIC
Long Bange Forecasting Deplored as Being
Dangerous and Detrimental
GOVERNMENT OBSERVERS ON THE TOPIC
People Are Asked to Consider the
Matter Rationally and to Give
the Scientific Investi
gator a Hearing.
In this modern day of rapid and general
transmission of Intelligence pertaining to
climatic and meteorological conditions, the
United States weather bureau has won the
confidence of the observing world in the
accuracy of Its forecasts and has been
the means of saving millions of dollars to
the commercial and shipping world far in
excess of the cost of the maintenance of
the department. Tet at the same time
thousands of people look askance at the
weather bureau forecasts, and because of
their occasional unimportant forecast fail
ures In local Instances, roundly denounce
the bureau as invariably Inaccurate and
pin their faith to the long-rango forecast
ers, believing implicitly in their improb
able theories.
It is the opinion of the leading meteorol.
oglsts of the world that public interests
are injured by the publication of long
range weather forecasts, especially by such
predictions as relate to severe storms,
floods, drouths and other atmospheric phe
nomena of a dangerous or damaging char
acter. The persistency with which these
predictions are foisted upon the public in
dicates that they are more for personal
gain than for the public wenl. They have
reached such proportions that the weather
bureau representatives at their recent
meeting at Peoria, 111., considered the mat
ter to be of sufficient importance to be
the chief topic of their discussions, and
an appeal was made to the public to ra
tionally, fairly and temperately consider
the absolute unreliability of the long-range
forecasts and endeavor to counteract their
Influence by an investigation, and thus re
duce this constant preying upon the ere
dullty of the public to a minimum.
Work of the Cuessers.
Ono of the members of that conference,
who Is regarded as one of the foremost
meteorologists of the country, said:
"Some of these long-range, forecasters
may be honest, and may In their Ignorance
attach undue Importance to storms that
may accidentally coincide In time of occur,
rence with certain relative positions of
planets, or with changes In the phases and
positions of the moon, or with periods In
the Increase or decrease of sun spots, or
apparent varlutlons In the solar Intensity.
Men of this class find that for which they
Blncerely seek, und mark when they hit,
but never mark when they miss, und the
occurrence of a storm within the broad
area of the I'nlted States, snd nt times
within much broader areas, on or near the
day for which they have predicted a storm,
confirms In their mind the value of their
predictions." ,
It is hardly logical to believe that these
men have discovered some new physical
law of meteorological principle that has
been withheld from astronomers who have
mud astronomy and meteorolnpy a life
study, or In defiance cf the observations of
acleutlllo Investigators whose faclliiiea for
Investigation are limitless.
Itanarr lu the Publication.
The publication of these predictions are
calculated to be positively injurious to ag
ricultural, commercial and other Industrial
Uilurssu and casta a serious doubt upon

tho honesty of their purpose upon their as
serted disinterested devotion to the pub'.lo
welfare. Said this same speaker: "Such
publications bring the science of meteor
ology into disrepute and cannot therefore
be made in response to a desire to advance
that science along useful lines; and they
retard the work of the honest Investigator,
through whose efforts only can ulns be
made in the fundamental knowledge of the
causation of weather that will Juatlfy fore
casts for a month or a season in ad
vance." The time may come when It may be pos
sible to forecast the weather for the coming
seasons, but it has not yet arrived.
An Instance Is familiar to many Omahans
whero a long range forecaster, put In his
appearance at Omaha with his astronomical
apparatus presuming to be a model of the
solnr and planetary system, from which he
was to predict the weather for any period
In advance, be it a month or a year. On
the same hypothesis he could predict tho
weather for a decade or a century ahead.
The planetary motions are practically un
varying so far as human observation or
caluculatlon can determine. It Is only by
tho Invention of new appliances for plane
tary and firmamentnl observation that more
Is learned of their movements. It Is hardly
to be presumed that the mercenary long
range forecasters are supplied with any
better appliances for planetary observation
thnn the .magnificently endowed and
equipped observatories throughout the
United States.
MUSIC AND MUSICIANS
It is with feelings of great pleasure not
unmixed with a sense of stern responsi
bility, that as musical critic of The Omaha
Bee, I once more take up the pen, and
sword (If need be) In the interests and fur
the cause of art.
There Is a pleasure In feeling that you
have done conscientious work, and blessed
Is he who can find many to disagree with
him, for it is a ture sign that people are
thinking. A friend of mine yas talking to
me the other night about a certain writer
who'used to be in vogue, but who is now
less frequently mentioned. Seeing one of
his magazines on the table, I said "Why do
you read that, seeing you do not like the
writer?" and his reply was, "Well, he
makes me think along certain lines which
interest me."
The musical column of The Bee will stand
for what It has always stood for, namely,
the best Interest of the holy art of music,
from whut the writer honestly conceives to
be right.
I am not politic. I have heard that many
times. And for the encouragement of
those who tell me so, I will say that I hope
I never shall be. To be politic in a matter
of Art Is cowardly. Therefore I shall not
be politic. For "polINc" In matters of criti
cism, simply means "telling or Implying a
lie."'
The musical column of The Bee has been
said to contain severe criticisms on people
who are trying to do their best. Never!
Do your best, but do not try to do some
thing away beyond you; do what you can
do, at the present, but do not attempt
things which you will not be ready for for
at least flvo or ten years.
Let us all get together. The sacred
cause needs assistance. There are enemies
who would drag It In the rtust of commer
cialism, or degrade it Into an advertising
medium. But music la greater, holler and
more wonderful than man's petty opinion
of It. Music has a higher mission than to
bt an adjunct to a dance.

of those who pass their empty opinions
upon it, and say "that kind suits me," as
though the divine art were created and per
fected all these years for the single,' soli
tary purpose of some Insignificant crea
ture's personal amusement.
Yes, the Art has its enemies. And let us
who are Its friends therefore get together
In one determined, united effort to throw
out bodily the spirit of ignorant discussion
of music as though' It were merely an
amusement, and let us place it 'on its
throne.
Are you one of thosa who will Join the
crusade?
How shall we begin? Well, for instance,
there is one way. The Concert Promoters,
an organization originated by Mr. August
Horglum and carried forward during his
absence by a very capable corps of work,
ers, is in the field with a series of con
certs. These concerts will be given by men
and women of national reputation, for no
effort is being spared to get the best. You
will learn from them. You should support
the Concert Promoters. It only costs $10,
I believe, to be a member. Write to Mr.
Lorglum or the secretary, Davldge block,
and find out about it. We are all going to
see Omaha a great musical center. There
is not time now for little quarrels, for
small bickerings. We are In a big business
and we must forget things that are of the
past.
Omaha, a Musical Center of National Im
portance.
Are you with us? Are you going to be a
crusuder? Come on!
It is time now for the musicians on
mudic lovers to be classed. There Is a
high standard, and there Is a low standard.
Those who are In favor of the highest
standard must get together. It Is not a
question of whether they should or not.
We must! That is, if we would see our
beloved art honored and respected, as It
should be.
This Is my salutatory. I am thankful to
say thut I know that there are many In
Omaha who feel exactly as I have written.
I am thankful to know that in Omaha
there is a musical strength which h capa
ble of doing anything. I am thankful for
the fact that there is less animosity
amongst the leaders of the profession than
at any time in Omaha's musical history.
And above all, I am thankful to sea the
Illuminating touches of a brightening dawn
for a reign of Music, at its highest and
best, that will shed Its benignant Influence
on , the entire middle west. It Is hero.
Don't you see It?
Let me quote a line or two from "Edu
cating a Citizen." by no less a philosopher
than Plato: '
And what shall be their education? Can
we find a better than the old-fashioned
sort? and this has two divisions gymnas
tic for the body and muslo for the soul
True.
Hhall we begin eduratlon with music
and go on to gymnastic afterwards?
By all means.
And when you apeak of niulc, do you
rank literature under music or not? v
I do.
Hear what Martin Luther has to guy:
I always loved music; whoso has skill
In this art Is of a good temperament, fitted
(or all things. We must leach music In
schools; a schoolmaster ought to have skill
In music, or I would not regard him; neither
should we ordain young nu n as preachers
unless they have been well exercised in
music.
Listen to the words of Ilenryli Blenkle
wlcx, in "Quo Vadls":
When I listen to music new delights and
beauties open before me every Instant
I pursue them, I try to seize them; but be
fore I can take thein to myself, new ami
newer ones How in, Just like waves of
the sea. which roll on from Infinity. Hence
I tell thee that muidc Is like the sea. We
suif on one abort and gaze at remote
Fair,
ness, but we cannot see the other shore.
And Confuolua says:
Ah, music: sacred tongue of God. I
hear thee calling and I come.
And then consider there are so-called
musicians who would try to "popularize"
music by catering to the most crude and
Ignorant desires (not needs or wants) of the
lowest clnss of intellect or imagination. No,
let the people be gradually brought to see
the beauty of their divine heritage. Noth
ing else will benefit. Then will they feci
the refreshing influence of Good Music on
the wornout soul. But to limit it? It is
Impossible. You limit yourself. .
One might Just as well try to look at the
sunset through a piece of green glass, be
cause he could not enjoy all tho wealth of
harmonies in the colors.
But then, alas! come to think of it, there
are many people to whom a sunset merely
