home in the wee hours of the morning.
Miss Estelle Walker has been ap-
pointed teacher in one of the At
lantic City public schools by the
Board of Education Of that city.
Miss Walker is daughter of Thomas
Walker, an employee of Adams &
Fairchild. She was graduated from
the Morristown High School and
Wherefore University.
The Princeton Glee, Banjo and
Mandolin Club will give a concert in
Lyceum Hall on Friday evening, De-
cember the eighth. This will be the
| first appearance in Morristown for
some time of the Orange and Black
musical organizations The high
character of their entertainments
in the past renders any praise at this
time unnecessary.
Notwithstanding the inclemency of
the weather there was a good sized
audience at the Lyceum Tuesday
evening to observe and listen to the
Virgil Clavier piano demonstrations.
1t is doubtful if a more interesting
and instructive entertainment has
been presented to lovers of music here
for long time. A. K. Virgil, who
has devoted a great part of his life to
evolving this method for teaching
the piano which is given his name,
was present and recited interestingly
the theoretical principles of the Cla-
vier. These were clearly demon
strated by Miss Florence Dodd in
technical and musical illustrations.
Miss Dodd's execution was faultless
and she demonstrated that even the
most ordinary scale could be played
unsteady as well as in perfect time.
Miss Dodd has been a student under
the Virgil Clavier system for only
four years. The teacher of this
method in Morristown is Mrs. M. A.
Bosworth, whose studio is at 10 High
street.
DR.. Nicholas Murray Butler, who is
to deliver a series of four lectures be-
fore the Fortnightly Club, of Summit,
is one of the best known authorities
on education in this country. At the
head of the philosophic department of
Columbia University, Dr. Butler has
made special study of educational
science and history. He is man of
great freshness of feeling and breadth
of view, and as far removed as posi-
BILE from narrowness and dryness of
the old-time educational theorizer.
He is the arthur of number of books
which have been widely read and he
is very attractive and effective speak
er. His lectures ON the operation
of the Home and the SCHOOL, cannot
fail to be deeply interesting as we'll
as extremely instructive. No subject
is awakening wider interest in educa-
tional circles, and none has greater
practical information for women
These lectures will be given at Kent
Place School on Tuesday evening,
November 2lst 28th and December
9th and 18th Course tickets may be
procured from Miss E. e. Dana, Nor
