Music, Instrumental
The language of the poets well
describes the feelings of Ak-Sar-Ben
visitors and in fact all strang
ers who tarry in Omaha. There
is music in the air in and round
about Omaha. And it speaks well
for the citizen of Omaha. As another cele
brated bard has said, "0. music, sphere de
scended maid, friend of Pleasure, Wisdom's
aid!" Without an undue show of egotism
"And behold.
There was music within and a song,
And echoes did feed on the sweet
ness, repeating It long.
I opened the doors of my heart, and
behold, ;
There was music that played Itself
out in aeollan notes;
Then was heard as a far away bell
at long intervals tolled."
we may say that Wisdom and Pleasure are j yment.
characteristic of Omaha. Either
one alone would be detrimental
a people whose sole aim was
pleasure would be of a shallow
nature, while a people devoted to
the accumulation of wisdom alone
would be too dull and deep for mortal man.
In Omaha we have a happy mixture
which betokens an enlightened, happy
populace, and insures visitors refined en-
Music, Vocal
Of all God's gifts to mortal man what
is more wonderful or divine than tho
sound of a voice raised in song? There
isiusic within our souls struggling for
an outlet, and of all means of expression
the voice is by far the best.
We are all susceptible to song from the time we
hear the fond mother's soothing lullaby until we ap-
"God sent His Singers upon Earth
With son kb of sadness and of nilrlh.
That they- might touch the hearts of
men
And bring them back to Heaven
again."
proach the grave with a song of suppli
cation on our lips.
Is it any wonder then that Omaha
people should carry a song in tho onward
march of progress? In vocal instructors,
in students, and in accomplished vocalists Omaha has
her share. And tho music of their , voices are raised like
unto a minstreling in welcome to all visitors.

Languages
Westward, ho! Not only does
the course of Empire move west
ward, for while it moves along it
takes learning all the way. No
longer does Europe boast the seats
of learning, the old world has reverted to
the barbarous times of old, while America,
ever advancing, preserves the best of the
old while walking forward to newer and

Their pride, grief, love, ambition,

The talisman which holds inwrought
The touchstone of the listeners

That penetrates each vain disguise,
And brings his secret to bis eyea."
better things in cultured life.
. Omaha has her share of learn
ing. 'This is evident by the re
markable interest shown in lan
guages. Distinctly American, yet
quite cosmopolitan in makeup, Omaha will
do her share in preserving and promoting
languages amongst other forms of knowledge.
Art--Terpsichorean
- - The poetry of motion has its appeal
for the people of Omaha. And why
shouldn't it? Unlike the stoical savages
whom we swept from this fair land, we
believe in giving expression to our emo
"tions. When there is joy, let it be uncon-
best adapted to the expression of joy, and
as such it affords pleasure to old and
young alike. Not only does it make youth
forget hours on end, but it makes the
aged smile, and dream again of youth. '
But to correctly express the emotions
fined, and if there be grief, alas, it must be expressed. in dancing grace and harrnon motion is essential,
The fiance, though it can depict all emotions, is necessitating a training which Om iha can supply.
"And beautiful maidens move down
in the dance,
With the magic of .motion and sun
shine of glanre; .
And white arms wreathed ligtirly,
and tresses fell free
As t'ue plumage of birds lneome
tropical tree."
Dramatic Art
All the world's a stage, it has
been said, ani it is true. And we
are all actors from the time of
our first entrance until we answer the final
curtain's call. Some of us play leading roles,
many take only minor parts. We occupy
the limelight in a greater or lesser degree
in accordance with the preparation we have
made.-
"Like a (full actor now,
I have forgot my part, and I im out,
Even to a full disgrace."
This is true of all life. Some pur
sue the study of dramatic art
merely for art's sake. But never
theless the art of acting enters into all life,
all endeavor whether it be work or play. It
will be well, then, for us to consider care
fully thisdramatic art and to st udy it. And the
good people of Omaha do study it as shown
by numerous announcements of instructors.
