School Teachers in Session.
-The Hennepin County Teachers' as-;'
sociation met yesterday morning in
Curtiss' hall and enjoyed au interesting,
and profitable session. Addison Baker,-,
of Crystal Bay, read the first paper, an
essay on "Reading," in which he held'
that the teachers did not pay enough
attention to good reading in the schools./
Good reading was a most desirable at
tainment, and. he advised his listeners
to make the 'reading lessons as enter-}
taining as possible. At the conclusion"
of his paper the teachers discussed the
question in an interesting manner, all :
agreeing to the point made by Mr.,
Baker. "What Besides the Text Book?"
was the title of the second paper pre
sented by Miss Ella M. Stratton, in " :
which she stated that neatness, punctu
ality, morals ' and manners should be,
inculcated by the teachers into the
pupils as well as A B Cs. At the after- ,
noon session, "Work at the Normal"
* School," Miss Lucretia Rodell's paper,
; was discussed, followed by informal
; discussions on a number of other mat
ters pretaluing to the teachers aud their
work. *; ;-■•'.
The Night Schools Closed.
The winter session of the evening
public schools of Minneapolis closed*
Friday ' night after ": a most successful
season of four* months, having opened
for the term Nov. 2. Prof. C. M. Jor
dan, in speaking of the work accom
plished, said the term just closed was
the best' and the work done more favor
able than any during the pa3t two
years. The attendance has been very
good, considering the prevalence of sick
ness, which at different times mani
fested itself.*- Nine schools were open
during the term: The Jackson, Jeffer
son, Washington, 'Webster,; Franklin,,
Holmes, Irving, * Monroe : and Prescot*;.!
But one was closed before the term ex
pired. ■ At i the ' Washington a depart
ment of mechanical and free-hand draw-,

results. ; - " r I

numerous, Mr. Hart "reports that he is

Bob Brierly of the late Billy Florence, .
and both parts made their creat
ors famous. His "Albeit Kep

is also an excellent . creation.*
He is an old . German ; butcher, •
-good-hearted and honest to a lault, with
a wife who lias a penchant for society
and two lovely . ; daughters. Almost
abont -to be turned out of doors, he
tumbles into a fortune left by a brother

,I'i'he Chicago Tribune of Dec. 26 con
;■ tains the following high. tribute, to .the
•meal powers of Tony. Bryant, the boy
'', soprano soon to be beam in this city:
A stranger, not; particularly notice
able, perhaps, among the many others,'
visited Trinity Episcopal church to at
tend the: services; yesterday. Judging
, appearances*" he was .not. over
Ujessexi with worldly wealth, even
..though evidently \yell along .in years.
I """Vur.ing the. services he • sat attentive,
joining occasionally in the responses.
: But when **. the cteßi, "bell-like --soprano
voice, of eleven-year-old, Tony Bryant
; rang through the building^' filling the
chancil and aisles with melody, his de
meanor- changed. He siemed to drink
: in every note of,, Neidliniier's^ "The
- Birthday of a King," and as the youth-,
ful sinker concluded wilh: : '-" *H ,';.*; = ,
; -"' 'Alleluia! O, how the angels sung! ■"".'"* •

*a\ And the sKy was bright with a holy light,
'Twns the birthday of a ting ! **.- *:-_*/'
those who sat near htm noticed tears
trickling down his wrinkled cheeks.
The song had evidently aroused some
memory, * touched some chord of the
• long ago. During the balance of the
. services he sat as one entranced, there
spouses went unnoticed. ' When. the
last notes of the processional song :
'; : merged into the;, benediction he arose
; from his seat, walked slowly *to the
• door, beckoned the sexton to one side,
pressed four $5 gold-pieces '. into his
hand, said, "Give them to the boy who
sang that.song," and walked away.

"The last article the series on "College
Fraternities" appeared in yesterday's Ariel.
It is a sweeping denunciation of the "frats."
The writer claims that the fraternities de
' velop a selfish , spirit— "require from their
members that regard which ought to belong
to the university"— that it 'is the fraternity
system which justifies— lf there is " any justi
fication—the remark of Senator Hompe upon
the chapel stage :'- "That the University of
Minuesota is an institution for tbe rich
man's son." It is not probable that the
"frats" will reply.
