OLDEST ACTRESS ON AMERI-

STROKE OF APOpLExY

Chicago, December 2. - Mrs
George Henry Gilbert, the oldest ac-
tress on the American stage, died in
her rooms at the Sherman House to-
day, shortly after she had suffered a
stroke of apoplexy.
The apoplectic stroke came while
Mrs. Gilbert was alone with her
maid. The maid first sought to lift
her onto a couch, but realizing that
Mrs. Gilbert's attack was a grave

and until today the venerable actress
had appeared to be in her usual
health.
"Granny' was written for Mrs.
Gilbert. The company was organiz-
ed by Charles Frohman, and was put
before the public as tribute to Mrs.
Gilbert's long career on the stage.
Mrs. Gilbert played "Granny" for
three weeks in New York, and when
she started to tour the country it
was the intention to present the play
in every city where she had played
during her career, and at the conclu-
sion of the long trip she was to re-
tire from the stage. '"-
The ovation to Mrs. Gilbert upon
her appearance in New York at the
first night of the play was re-
markable and pathetic one, and the
old lady was overcome by the
warmth Of her greeting. Fears were
entertained at that time that Mrs.
Gilbert was not strong enough for
the long tour, but she assured the
of her good health, and
the trip was started.

Old Haymarket as dancer, under

In 1916 she married George H. Gill

American free public school system

well advanced by Americans prior to
the reaching out OF Uncle Sans mighty

the foundation for the making OF good
citizens had already been commenced,

ern portions OF the United States, there
is no effort made to evade sending them
to school. So the work of education
progresses steadily. The English Ian
guage is being mastered by the young,
love for the stars and stripes is being
inculcated into their hearts, insurng for
the Territory a coming race OF true
Americans. When one stops to consider
that the superstitions OF the ancient Ha-
waiians still hold sway in many families,
the work OF the teachers would seem to
be quite difficult if not discouraging.
To think that strange customs, such as
the beating OF sick man on the head
with Bible to drive out evil spirits,
prevail in this age is by itself discourag-
ing. but these fallacieS are pointed out
effectively to the young, and 1t is safe
TO say will disappear with the present
generation.
OF especial importance to the Hawai-
ian Territory are the free kindergartens,
of which there are an even dozen, with
over six hundred little ones enrolled,
chiefly of foreign-born parentage.
Teachers especially qualified for this
particular work have been secured from
various States OF the Union, Some
strange cases of childish misery and
neglect are brought to their notice, One
child in particular has three brothers and
sisters. Most OF the care they receive
She gives them, for they are incumbered
with a bad, dirty, lazy, ignorant mother
The physicians engaged by the kinder
gartens save many children from the
cruel and absurd treatment which lg-
norant parents, many brought mp under
the most marvellous Supersutlons, often
resort 10. Through all the kindergarten
work the little ones are reared on the
American plan, and % this excellent
training is due in part the encouraging
progress of the public schools TO which
they advance,
