Vacation Schools in Five' Buildings Public vacation schools will be held at Farnam, Bancroft, Saratoga, South High and Long schools. Entrants will be received only upon written rec ommendations of principals and teachers and will embrace fourth to eighth grades, inclusive. When the subject was discussed Friday by the teachers' committee of the Board of Education the sunerin tendent reported that 1,347 were eli gible to enter, these children hav ing failed to make their grades dur ing this semester.

OF HIS FATHER ALL RIGMTl ' i f ' f j t. i . t ; U ! Bwmm ; By HENRIETTA M. REES., HICAGO has fully endorsed Omaha's estimate of the artistic ability of the Kellys, and of the rare quality of their "Sham rock" program. This is evidenced by the following from the Musical Leader of the 11th under the caption of "A New and Fascinating Recital": "Those who delve into folklore would have reveled in the recital given by those clever singing and ar tistic entertainers, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas J. Kelly of Omaha, who were heard by a large audience at the I.a Salle hotel on Saturday afternoon. Here was something new in the way of program making and recital giving, something to grip attention and re tain interest. Urn miite indicative of its worth was the title,- 'Shamrocks,' for this implies just a program that anyone might be able to give, but. as a matter of fact, it is ideally suited to Mr. and Mrs. Kelly, and probably to them alone. Artists in the truest sense of the word, they sing delightfully,, with the finest kind of musicianship, and have that real sense of pathos and humor which is born and never taught. They ran lake joy and glad ness to an audience, and so, evidently, thought the Irish Fellowship club, wdio found the program all too short, 1 lie voices of the artists blend admir ably, they understand to perfection the art of tonal coloring and musi- cianly phrasing to such a degree that the simplest folksong is a gem of ar tistic workmanship. With a brief sen tence or two of explanation, and with the happiest gift for interesting an audience from the onset, Mr. Kelly introduced Ins wife and himself in most felicitous style to a miscellane ous audience, who, usually the most difficult to please, expressed delight at every number offered. Mr. and Mrs. Kelly should have marked suc cess in the recitals in and around Chi cago, to which city they have recently removed." v . In connection with the coming visit to Omaha of the Swedish Singing Union of America, interest in which is growing, John Helgren gives an ac count of the visit to Paris in 1867 of a group rf students from the Univer sity of Uppsala. Mr. Helgren says: "In Sweden, the land of the Mid night Sun, male chorus singing, has for generations bark been practiced extensively. In 1867 a chorus com posed of just an even 100 students from the University of Uppsala par ticipated in an international singing contest held in Paris during the ex position. This Swedish chorus, be ing one of the smallest in member ship in the contest, was not consid ered of much consequence by other participants for the reason that very little was known of them outside their own country previous to this occasion. They were unfortunate also that theirs was one of the last numbers on an exceedingly long pro gram (they did not appear until mid night), and that the judges who, by the way, included some of the fore most composers, musicians and cri tics of their day as well as the im mense audience, had listened to ev ery number and were by this time getting weary and only wishing for the contest to come to an end. "The rraud prize, which was to be awarded to the champion chorus, had already been conceded in the minds of the judges, singers and listeners alike, to the Belgian chorus, Les EAL 3-DAY of Council Bluffs DRINK and DRUG TREATMENT reforming men In not accomplished by fines or Imprisonment.

The ova tion the Belgians received after their number had clearly shown that there was no chance for any of the previ ous choruses receiving the award and hardly possible for any of the re maining ones to maice the same im pression. "The audience had had enough. Several were getting ready to leave when -the Swedish students lined up on the platform. Their appearance, however, attracted snme attention and everybody lingered a while to see if their efforts would be worth listening to, The director, Mr. Arpi, being a man of short stature, in or der to be seen by everyone of his singers climbed up on a chair in front of the chorus. He raised his baton and birth rolled the mightiest volume of tone a from an immense organ, Wennerbergs' 'Hear Us. Svea." From the first sound the aulienre appeared spellbound, and the singers, feeling that tbey had made an impression, gained courage and sang as they never bad sung before. The chair on which the director stood broke down and he scrambled on the floor, the singers, however, never faltered, not the slightest break in the singing being detected, and Mr. Arpi was soon on his feet again, taking up his directing as if nothing had happened. "The enthusiasm on the part of the audience after the nuujiher was fin ished knew no bounds. Men cheered, women waved their handkerchiefs, hats, and fans flew up in the air. Members of the Belgian chorus, for getting xtheir defeat, rushed on the platform and embraced the Swedes, even the judges came up and publicly congratulated the victorious singers and their director. "During their stay in Paris the Swedish singers were greeted as conquering heroes wherever they ap peared. Being easily recognised on the streets, wearing the white stu dent caps similar to those now worn by the American Union Swedish singers, flowers were thrown on them, women even embracing them 'n Your Home on Free Trial ThisColumbia GRAFONOLA of beautiful mahogany or quartered oak, equipped with the exclusive Colum bia tone-control leaves. 0 On Easy Terms On Free Trial This model has been sold to more people than any other In 8trumentregardless of name, iprlce or make.

"This sanie chorus, the one from l'ppala university, has time and again repeated its triumph of '67 and still remains the foremost of Swedish male choruses. This is quite a distinction, when it is considered that no town in Sweden, however small, is without its male chorus, and in the larger cities the competition between the numerous male choruses is very keen. Sweden has justly been termed a 'singing nation' and it is only a natural consequence that the cherished practice of male chorus singing should be kept up by the sons of such a nation, even after they have emigrated and wherever they have congregated in any large numbers in this country, one is sure to find among them a male chorus or quar tet of more or less prominence. "On June 1 and 20 next Omahans will have an opportunity to judge for themselves how the Swedes can sing A mass male chorus of fiver 500 voiies will sing this same nihnher sung in I'aris in 1867. besides many others of equal value, a chance never before offered Omaha and which may never come again."
