One noticeable fact is that these persons very seldom offer sug- gestions on how to remedy affairs and if they do. they usually present some impracticable thoughts which sound whalesome in theory but in reality will not help matters in the least. Of course, it is much easier to expound new theories and plans for improvement from a plat- form than it is to step down and carry them out, just as it is a comparatively easier pursuit to go about in a fiery spirit of reform. aimlessly slamming and knocking with vehement ardor at the various objects of reproach until they are tottering and crumbling into ruin. than it is to bring about the desired changes and improvements. I don't know whether you will agree with me or not, little book, but I can not help feeling that when a man has ad- vanced so far in any line of interest as to be satisfied to place himself upon a pedestal, for the purpose of coldly ana- lyzing character and criticizing human nature. he has only overestimated his own ability, for it is not the amount or severity of destructive criticism that he can do which marks his true greatness, but the ability he has to build up, to cor- rect. and to reconstruct. Almost any man an break down or at any rate mutilate an intricate mechanism or a masterpiece in art just as easily as he tan destroy an object much simpler in construction and workmanship, provided he il supplied with the necessary strength and Iomething corresponding to the old- (“tinned battering ram (an eflicient tongue is usually all that is necessary) : but it takes much hard work, persever— lace. talent. and perhaps genius, plus a thorough training in order to bring about the production in the first place. m Marking influence of this class The Augsburg Echo of “knockers” is not confined to their speech, but evinced in other ways as well. Their critical air never gets an airing or a rest, but is worn week days and Sun- days like a beggar's only suit of clothes These persons go everywhere—to school, to church—. even, with the purpose of finding as many flaws as possible. In short, every sensation which they gain thru their five senses goes through the same analyzing process. ly their very aloofness. these pedants show that they consider themselves a little better than those who are not equal to them in education. years. and perience. They choose their associates scrupulously and with extreme care. lest they over-step the boundary of their own class. By this reserve as well as their direct criticism and unfair judgment, these "sages" shut a door in the very face of their weaker brothers. By re- fusing these more immature fellow be- ings the privileges of their company they deny them the invaluable benefits of their richer experiences and timely ad- vice, and force them to seek their :15- sociates from among a much less desir~ able class. Then if these youths un- fortunately make some sad mistakes. which their more experienced brothers might have prevented by means of a well-timed warning, these philosophers. instead of reaching out a helping hand in an endeavor to undo the wrong they might have hindered, sit with folded‘ hands and helplessly shake their wise heads as if to say: “I told you so. I told you that such and such a one was not a desirable person. etc.” “Oh. where is the justice of it all ?" I exclaim in tones of despair. And the night answers me in a mur- mur, fully as pathetic: “There is no jus- tice in it.” But somehow, I am now so tired. so tired, and in a measure consoled, too. C‘.\'~ Show less

Of course it would be well if we watched ourselves more. and others less. particularly in seeing whether we can sit and stand at attention during the devo- tional exercises.

Show more19 Cup Fungi At the moment that a young botanist finds his first cup fungus, he experiences one of the most pleasant sensations of his work. The sensation is one of won- der and delight. Curiosity is awakened, and the inherent love for the beautiful, the delicate. and the artistically wrought, is kindled into new flame. The new hm: remains brightly burning, and there is more fuel added at each time the botanist finds the fungi growing in the woods. on the tree trunks or amidst the cool moss near the spring. For those who have never seen a cup fungus. it must be described. It is a growth partially parasitic, depending for its sustenance on the nourishment in liv- ing or decaying matter, such as the bark of trees, or of roots protruding from the ground, or sometimes on the material to be found in cavities in rocks where acceptable foods in sufficient quantities have been cached. The plant has a thin, spreading base like other fungi. Its gray-green color is practically ‘the same as that of other fungi. But it is in the little protruding cups that.it_is visibly different from all of its relatives. These cups are on the ends of slender stalks which sometimes reach a height of a quarter of an inch. The cups are little bowl—shaped heads, perfectly rounded and proportioned. measuring sometimes one fourth of an inch across, but usually being just large enough to hold a drop of water. The inside of the cup is somehow pimpled, producing a curious effect. It is lighter in color than the outside and the other portions of the plant, so that it seems lfie a tiny flower. The cup can well be called a lower, because here the spores In formed; but the world has come to (and a flower as something with con- fidant: petals or sepals; the lack of The A ugslmrg Echo these makes it a flower no longer. When_one happens to find a single cup fungus thrusting itself out of a mass of dark moss and brown ooze, it seems like a bright star in a murky sky. It is some- thing like finding a bright violet or a strawberry flower in some gloomy spot in the woods. Should one pick it? Crush it? No, that would be akin to sacrilege. One can but behold it. muse over it. and wonder if that little cup was fashioned so gracefully just for catching little drops of moisture, or if it was made to be an expression of the poetic soul of nature. even as the nobler flowers. As one passes on, out of sight of this de- licate trifle. into the dusk of the forest or the glare of the sunshine. the thought of this inner beauty, and of this joyous- ness of nature, grows, and becomes an influence for good, a guiding star, in the hurried life of the world. where any man must struggle hard in order to catch even a glimpse of such a star. —Norell. ATHLETICS mmlnlnlllnnullh In spite of the fact that our basket- ball team was well-nigh broken up at Christmas. Augsburg has been making things lively for its opponents. Great credit must be given our coach and the "remainder" of the team for their fight- ing spirit.

Augsburg defeated \N'aldorf College of Forest City, Iowa, on our floor on the evening of Jan. 13.

EDITOR. * I. ANCIENT INSTRUMENTS Means for the production of musical sounds are few in number, and of such universality and antiquity that we can- not say when, how, and by whom they were invented. Modern skill has not added a single new means of producing sound, but has simply adapted improved methods to ancient principles. The evolution of the various instru- ments can, however, be traced with some degree of accuracy. History and arche— ology may unearth new facts which will throw a clearer light upon the develop- ment of music and of musical instru- ments. We shall here try to give a logical account of their development. All musical instruments may be divided into three general classes: Percussion Instruments, Wind Instruments, and String Ipstruments. The instrument is made originally to imitate, then to sup- port. and later to elaborate the vocal phrase. Instrumental construction is a factor which has played a large part in the history of music. It does not become of great importance to us until the later Middle Ages. Still it has always existed. It is limited, on the material side, to the Inlhh'lity of reeds, wood, and metal. to the skill of the maker, and to the [aural wealth of communities. Climate, (00. may be prohibitive to the develop— ment of certain instruments. The value at ancient instruments to :4: lies in the hat that they are the precursors of pre— lult day instruments. 1. Percussion Instruments are the in- mm of rhythm. Rhythmlis the N of all music, without which it is The Augsburg Echo vague and meaningless, A sense of rhythm is inherent to every man. Per- haps the physical explanation which lies behind rhythm is the tendency of all re- _ peated muscular action to become re- gular, but this, too, can be only a partial explanation. Even the most primitive peoples have rhythmic dances of various kinds, almost always accompanied with the rhythmic sound of drums or other percussion intsruments. This class of instruments is endless in variety, from the most primitive hollow log to the modern orchestral kettle- (lrums (tympani). from the simplest of metal rod to the elaborate instruments of the xylophone family. used by contem— porary composers. The first instruments were perhaps nothing more than hallow logs beaten with the \var club of savages. The next step may have been the hallow gourd or other bodies. across the open- ing of which was stretched leather or some similar membrance. From these are descended the modern snare drum, kettle drum and bass drum. The metal percussion instruments are of very an— the sizes and shapes of cymbals. gongs of all sorts, and later, the bells and triangles. These are all. to a large extent, noise— producing instruments used for the sole purpose of making rhythm. 2. Wind Instruments, the second in order of development, were not only noisesmakers but were capable of pro- ducing definite pitches, or sounds more worthy the term “musical”. The simplest form of wind instrument is the plain tube. producing a single sound when blown across the top. A series of such tubes bound together constitute the Syrinx or Pan’s pipe, an instrument universally known from the remotest ages. This is believed to be the “organ” of Genesis.

Paul loved home and home surroundings as dearly as every son of mother Norway does: but now his only hope and ambition was to go to “the land of golden promise.” America. There he would have all that his heart desired. There he would no longer be tormented with religion or with his father's con- stant prayers. There he would live in perfect peace—beyond God's reach.

The chrotta is perhaps the same as the chittarone, an elaboration of the Roman lute. The 'violin is famous for its great range from the double bass viol to the high treble violins. The viols were large and cum- bersome; neither was their range suffi- ciently high to carry the melody, in ac- companying the voice. Endeavors of musicians to remedy these drawbacks re— sulted in the producing of our cherished instrument, the violin. III. MODERN INSTRUMENTS I need here only repeat that all modern instruments are merely elaborated, per- fected applications of ancient principles. No instrument of to—day has suddenly come into existence from nowhere, but is the outgrowth of countless ages of de- velopment. The chief characteristic of modern musical instruments is that they have in this age achieved their highest mechanical perfection. The experiments and expectations of past ages have been realized. Pianos are now a common household article. We of to-day owe our musical advantages, together with so much else that we value and esteem, to those who have lived before us. What the future may contribute to the development of musical instruments, we know not. But a knowledge of the growth of our musical instruments helps us to more fully appreciate the highly advanced and greatly perfected forms of the present day. K. T., '25 A.C.

Our matron has placed a clock on top of the piano, so we have a “better time” than ever be- fore. e Rev. B. Helland gave a speech at the last Alpha Zigma meeting which ‘took a few fathers" out of us, when he proved that the. reason we were in col- lege was not because we were so much brighter than many others, but because we had better opportunities. He awak- ened us to our duty in working for bet- ter social conditions so that many more could enjoy the blessings of a good edu- cation. at: There is considerable enthusiasm among the students for Radio. Many of us have built receiving sets and enjoy the programs sent out from the broad- casting stations. VVe are favorably located to receive broadcasted sermons. Some of us have gotten together and discussed the matter of a broadcasting station. at Augsburg. \Ve find that nearly every student is highly in favor of a good sta- tion at Augsburg where it will be of great value to the school and our home folks. We have found it a very easy matter to raise a subscription of over five hundred dollars from the students to purchase a broadcasting set. If the faculty and board of trustees will give us their support, we believe that the students. with a very little help, can give to Augsburg a broadcasting sta- tion with a sending radius sufficient to reach the largest part of our people at all times. There is so much stuff in the air which is not of a religious nature that we believe we can be of service in furthering the work of the church of Christ in this modern way reaching many young people who otherwise would never desire to hear the Word of God or at- and church services.

Those reports were bitter but necessary pills for us to take, and we are glad there are only two more to swallow this school year. We must, however, continue our work with undiminished faith in applica- tion, concentration, and yet more applica- tion on every study, every day. in every way. c Now that our time for study has been graciously cut down in order to give us the requisite amount of “beauty sleep,” we must apply and concentrate on our studies more than we had intended to do. No more burning of midnight oil for the over-zealous student now! Of course, the fanatically studious will find a way or make——the price of candles take an upward trend perhaps. May we no longer emulate Ibsen. Grieg, Lincoln, and all the others in our category of those worthy of imitation? Imagine Edi- son or Wergeland in their student days as going to bed at a set hour! We didn’t think we could do it either, but now we have become regular “minutemen.” Of course we are not they. We are all of us average homo sapiens that have need of sleep—indeed some of us have par— ticular need of sleep just before break- fast, and again during lecture periods. Yes. we do miss our self—appropriated heritage of going to bed when it suited our convenience, but in return we are anointing ourselves with the salve of reotmpense found in the “early to bed, early to rise" adage. We hope it will work as invariably in our case as it does in fietioa.—and then it will reduce the light hill. 0 Was it Franklin who discovered that “makes men healthy. wealthy and wise” hypodleeiSP—and electricity too? Well, then we are doubly grateful to him for The Augsburg Etho- his innovation. It cannot then be a mere coincidence that the “early to bed” ré- gime was instituted on the same day that we students of Augsburg decided to throw precaution aside for the time be— ing, and purchase the latest electrical ivonder; namely, a $5,000 broadcasting radio set. Certainly it was a bargain! It was altered to us at a constderably re- duced price because it may be said of us like little Jack Homer is reported to have said about himself once. Our second and best guess is, however. that our professor of science knew how to drive a‘ shrewd bargain in our favor. , \Vhatcver the final cost of the radio set may be, it will be a paying investment for the school. and then we won‘t mind even if in a moment of extreme enthu— siasm we did pledge ourselves to finance the undertaking to the full extent of our ability. Now, however, our recently fresh laurels have withered somewhat after we discovered that the faculty and members of the board of trustees did. in some cases, 500 per cent better than we did in the matter of subscribing pecuniary assistance. If this is signifi- cant, we need not be timorous about whether this radio set will be used to its full advantage for the school or not. Our friends throughout the midwest have a surprise in store for them if they are equipped with any receiving appara- tus. No! we don’t intend to use it in asking indulgent parents for funds \Vhen we need that extra fifty for books and other miscellaneous incidentals, we shall write a private letter. There are too many “listening in” on the radio. The surprise lies in this that within not many days our snowbound friends out in the country may be seated comfortably at home listening to concerts and choirs, perhaps even hear their own hopefuls here at Augsburg as they sing. play or speak.

If there are any, it is their own fault, for the older people take great delight in telling of all the strange things that have happened in the countries over the sea. Again, we not only have pure blood in'our veins, but we take pride in the knowledge of its history. Comparatively few Americans can trace their heredity back very many generations. But that is common among us. Most of us at Augsburg can trace back at least two centuries! I have talked with one stu- dent whose ancestry is known back to l381 (Chaucer was still living then), and with another who is in direct line of descent from Viking chieftains. Al- though pride in one's ancestry is a sort of personal vanity, yet some knowledge of it is comforting and in a manner reassuring to youth when it first fares out into the world. Because of our knowledge of the Scandinavian languages, we have a bet- ter and a more intimate acquaintance with the histories and literatures of the respective countries than could other— wise be had. Few of us would give over our knowledge of Ibsen or Bj¢rnson in the original, or of Tégner, or of Danish literary masters, dead or living. This knowledge makes us, on the whole, more broad in our sympathies and more cos- mopolitan in our tastes. Coming across the sea, we find here in America and in our own Northwest ex- tensive additions to our heritage. We have, almost as part of ourselves. the grand tradition of the English and Amer- ican literatures. Besides which we pos~ seas some interest in the story of the Indians who once inhabited these prai- ries, in that of the explorers and traders who came into these wastes for adven- ture and riches, and also in that of the «fly pioneers who ventured their lives and fortunes for the sake of homes. The Augsburg Echo When we speak of romance we usually think of European streams rushing be— tween forest—covered and castle—crowned hills, or of wamt seas erstwhile pirate— haunted, or charmed by maidens sing- ing love songs from golden—sanded shores. If our imaginations touch Ameri- ca at all, they remain with the stern men of New England having their rifles and Bibles ever at hand, with the Dutch of the Hudson Valley. from whom the bowl and the pipe were inseparable, and with the gentlemen of the South that was be- fore the war came to take away the peace of the plantations, to cause the destruc— tion and decay of the great mansions. and to leave numbcrless white-columned porches and moonlit rose gardens things of memory only. But here in the Northwest. here in Minnesota, we have things of equally true and beautiful romantic charm. Think over the Indian myths of your neighborhood. Bring to your mind the names of the early explorers, Du Luth. Hennepin, La Verendrye, and all the others, and consider the activities of the adventurous spirits who bore these names in the knowledge that you are dwelling in the land which once knew their footsteps. Think again of the hardships which the first pioneers en— countered—bitter winters and wretched starvation. And think of the Indian bands coming for destruction and pillage. Our Minnesota Valley may well be called a Western Valley of the Hudson, and our Red River of the North a new Rhine. Young people of the Northwest. now that we are beginning this matter of liv~ ing, let us resolve to live well, so that our lives may not be mere periods of existence, but may produce something of ideal and spiritual value for us, and per- chance. for those who follow us.

If it is favorable we endeavor to maintain that opinion and, if possible, to reach even a We have this same attitude, when. as a group of students. we put out our college publication. The staff especially is on the alert watching for criticisms and suggestions that may come from various sources. Here is where the ex— change departments of our college papers come in for their share of the glory. They serve as a reflector of the opinion and esteem in which our paper is held by “others”. It was therefore of the utmost interest to us to find that the January number of “College Chips" favors the “Augsburg Echo" with its comment. We appre- ciate the suggestions offered, the spirit and manner in which they are given, and will indeed endeavor to keep them in Thank you! Among the schools of the Lutheran faith there are, besides those established by people of Scandinavian descent, many which are maintained by people of Ger— man extraction. Two of these, whose exchanges we receive, are W'arthhurg College, Clinton, Iowa, and Luther Sem- inary, St. Paul, Minn. The first one publishes a magazine called “The Wartburg Quarterly.” We have received the first issue and place it among the best on our exchange table. In the first place, it is very well bound. has a neat cover, and is printed on a good quality of paper. Now, these things alone do not make a magazine, but they count a good deal, and, when the content is of the same quality, a pub- lication approaches perfection. The literary department of the “Wart- but! Quarterly” contains four articles. Two of them deal with traditions and m of the school, one, written ill German. a language the editor can not The Augsburg Erho read. is entitled “Sadhu Sundar Sing ,” and the last is a short narrative called “Kagax Kin.” The first article entitled “Looking Back" is in many ways the most interest- ing. The writer has an easy-flowing style which holds our attention from begin- ning to end, as he shows some the things that belong to the \Vartbnrg College of the past. The purpose of the article, we gather-from the closing paragraphs, is not merely entertainment, but also to furnish an incentive for better work in the future. “Reminiscenses of My Senior Year" is of interest from the very fact that it is written by a graduate of ")1. He shows himself to be alive to the condi- tion of his school. \Ve need more such alumni. From these two articles we are brought to see that \Varthurg has great plans for future development. It strikes us that of late a large number of our papers have voiced the cause of some special and extraordinary undertaking in regard to the schools which they repre- “A greater school” seems to be a general slogan. This is a good sign and as long as such an interest is kept up among the students we feel that the future is safe. Let us hope that each one may reach the goal. The editorial department is short containing only one article, which deals with some of the needs of the school. The exchanges were naturally read with interest. The editor is quite out— spoken in his criticism and gives some valuable suggestions. It would be bet- ter, however, if he had modified some of his terms. They may cause offense, which is a thing we should try to avoid whenever possible. The rest of the paper deals with local news items, organizations, sports. and sent. rather Show less

Stringed Instruments are those which depend for their sound upon the vibration of stretched strings. This class is also of very ancient origin. As in the case of wind instruments, the dis- covery of the musical vibration of a stretched string was probably accidental. The twang of a bow—string very likely suggested to the primitive man some an- cestor of the harp, lyre, and lute family. Stringed instruments are divided into three classes, depending upon the method by which the sound is produced,—-struck, plucked or bowed. Stringed instruments played by pluck- ing with a flat piece of wood or ivory called a plectrum compose the earliest form of stringed instruments. To this class belong the ancient lute, psaltery and vina, and our modern guitar and mandolin. The Lute family, before it was dis- placed by the family of violins, long 0c- cupied a foremost position among musi— cal instruments. It was a favorite in the Orient; thence it traveled to Spain and lower Italy. and spread during the four- teenth century over all Europe where it retained its popularity up to the seven» teenth century. In shape, the lute was similar to our mandoloin, tho it usuallv had several more strings. The Theorbo and Archilute are elaborations upon this lute. Such ancient instruments as were built on a solid frame and equipped with sounding board and strings were as often played with hammers as with plectrum and thus became struck stringed instru- Show less
