charge made by Professor William
\, Davis, superintendent of the
l'ultcd States Public Schools of
malaSka, Alaska. According to
n special to the Republic from Fort
Wayne, Ind, under date of July
30, Prof. Davis makes the follow
ing statement:
At the beginning Of the school
year, September, 1908, canvassed
the village of l'nalaska for schol-
ars, and to my horror and disgust
! found eight little girls, ranging
IN age from & To l. years, in slav.

Immediately upon making the
discovery, called the attention OF
the proper authorities to the fact
| and was assured that immediate
measures would he taken to remedy
the evil. That was Il year aud Il

time nothing has hccu done Off

have secured the release oi two
pititul little creatures, who were re-
turned to the island from whence

were sent away again ut the first
opportunity, in some other drcc-
ton.
SIX SLAVES Is ONE VILLAGE.
At the present time, however,
! IN the village of Unalaska, with n
population Of not more than POO,
there are no fewer than six girls in

1--WE must educate everybody in
our respective neighborhoods in
order that we may have the benefit
OF competition and of appreciation"
says Gov. Aycock N the National
Magazine for April. "You NAV
educate your son and daughter to
the fullest extent possible, giving
to them the learning of all the
world and put them after their ed
ucatlon in a community where
there are no other educated people
and they will fail to develop and
grow as they would if they lived in
community where there was gem
eral culture. The man who stands
head and shoulders above his
nelghbors will never be very tall.
Ii he is to surpass his neighbors
and be really great, he must have
nelghbors who are almost great
themselves. He cannot work out
OF himself the best there is in him
until he is forced to do so by the
competition of others almost or
quite as strong us he"

Crimes Against the Children.

The National Association of
State and Dairy Food Departments
has sounded warning against
adulterated "baby foods, and de-
clares that last year Az, 900 infants
died from causes primarily due to
the adulteration of food. This is
a dreadful indictment to draw
against any man or set of men, and
immediate action should be taken
to punish them. But there is an-
other fruitful source of disease and
death among children, and it is to
be found in the iniquitous "sweat-
shop" and child labor systems in
vogue in many Of the large cities.
While publicists are decrying the
evils of adulterations that lead to
the slaughter of innocent children,
let them also turn their attention
to these other, and equally great,
evils that are not only slaughter
ing thousands of children every
year, but are blasting the lives of
of men and women and
adding daily to the great social
problems that must be settled if
this republic. is TO endure.

one Of the most healthful signs of
the awakening of the public con-

opportunity afforded of utilizing
the surplus that cannot be profita-

nearly all kinds of vegetables and

hausted. Therefore, what remains

which is to be given on Tuesday after
noon, March 2S. and for the double bill,
"Cavalleria Rusticana" and "Pagliacci,"
on the evening of the same day. At
present. therefore, prospective interest
is naturally divided between these two
splendid bills.
Les Huguenots" is Meyerbeer's most
brilliant opera. The music is highly
dramatic, the mise en- scene" the
brilliant orchestration, the ballet
everything is combined to fascinate the
nearer. Berlioz said the work contain
ed enough musical ideas for twenty
others of its kind, and his statement
cannot be doubted by one who has
heard ii, and the cast is one glittering
array of names. Nordica, Sembrich,
Homer, Scott. Dippel-it is the most
tempting of them all in fits large offer

Announcement has just been made
by the management that instead of Mr..
Vigna conducting both the operas in
the double bill as originally intended,
Nahan Frankie will conduct "Cavalleria

The addition of Mr.. Franko's name to
the list of conductors. Mr.. Conried will
bring is gratifying. Nine. De Macchi,

matte role in "Cavalleria Rusticana,"

Nine. Bauermiester has several times
attempted to retire from the operate
fold. but she is indispensable because
of her ability to sing practically any
feminine role at a moments notice. and
she has been for this reason prevailed
upon to remain with the company.
The oyerpowering luster surrounding
the name of Caruso has been inclined
to place in shadow those names an
pearing with his in the cast of aPae-
liacci." AT least one singer in. Leon
cavallo's opera is worthy of especial
note. Bella Alien is one of the most

This season will be noted in a must
cal way for the very excellent patron
age that has been accorded musical at
fractions. With but one exception
large audiences have greeted out of
town musicians. The Paderewski re-
Cital was a greater success financially
in st. Paul than 1T was in Minneap-
olis-a notable exception to the general
rule when the same recital or concert
is held in both towns. Except in the
one instance already referred to, no To-
cal impresario, whether club or indi-
vidual, has reason to regret the risk
taken and the effort put forth to bring
foreign artists to the city. This is a
matter for congratulation, because the
city was in danger of acquiring a rep
uta+'~l which, had no effort been made
to butter it, was bound to cause both
inpresarios and artists to eye it ask
ance.
In regard to the patronage of local
events, home musicians have some but
not a great deal of cause for complaint.
The st. Paul Choral club has had large
audiences for the two concerts it has
already given and since the sale of
season tickets was large and since the
second concert revealed a marked ad-
vance in smoothness and general ex-
cellence over the first, it can safely
look forward to a large house for The
Creation which is to be given next
month.

has been. careful to present pro-
grammes that have interest and value
for many different classes Of music
lovers. Each succeeding concert has
been greeted by a larger audience, but
unfortunately the growth of interest
was too slow to adequately compensate
the director. St. Paul needs these Sun
day concerts, however. and it is to be
hoped that the series will not be aban-
doned next winter. But this VIII doubt
less depend largely upon the size of the
audience at the testimonial concert on
Easter Sunday.
The Schubert artists recitals have
all been well patroniZed and the at
tendance at the fortnightly musicales
have demonstrated the reality of the
interest taken in the programmes pre-
scented by the active members The
string quartette organized for the pur-
pose of presenting a trio of Lenten re-
citals has so far aroused but luke
warm interest, to judge from the size
of the audience. But in the beginning
they made the quietest possible bid for
public recognition-an unfortunate pol
icy in any town. but a particularly I'M
fortunate one here.

with the attractions already announced
for the spring and with the grand opera
it promises to close brilliantly.
