Why? Because it is the Orange Day

you do not linger long, for the most
delightful sounds come from behind
those folding doors, and you feel that
you will just have to investigate.
Chirps, chuckles, gurgles and an oc.

ticipation that you cannot wait for
some one to open the doors, so you
open them yourself, cautiously at the
very first, then with 4 rush n a

nursery playroom, as bright and CHEEKY

dolls in all stages of decrepitude, all
showing marks of having been loved

REPORT MADE ON
TAX REDUCTION
IN So. ORANGE
Peoples Representatives on VIII
lage Board viii Try to Make
Budget Smaller Still.

In order to show what they had done
in the matter of reducing the original
amount asked for by the South Orange
Village Board of Trustees in the nnual
tax budget, made up at a meeting Sat
urday, John r. Weeks and Louis T..
Blanchet, members Of the board, who
were elected on the Peoples ticket last
month, met with a delegation of Peo-
ple's workers in the office of Louis p.
Taylor, South Orange avenue, that vii
lage, last night. After the meeting all
were satisfied that the new trustees had
lived up to their platform of retrench-
ment of village expenditures.
The fact hat the budget was nearly
5000 in excess of last years caused the
Peoples men to become indignant and
the meeting was called for that reason,
Trustee Weeks said that he and the
other two Peoples members of the
board had succeeded in bringing the
original figures of $4,000 down $4,000
and that it was their intention to fight
at the next session of the board to take
off $4,000 now included as a contingent
account. Mr.. Weeks said hat that
noun was not necessary, as it could
be taken in from various indirect
sources. . Should the board decide to
dispense with the services of the village
engineer and his assistant at the next
meeting 1t would mean a saving OF
s2,100 more, Mr.. Weeks stated.

Day nurseries are a blessing, not only
to the mothers who can. leave their chill
dren in safety while they work, but to
the children themselves. The more we
have of them the better for the city,
both now and in the future. In the
Orange Day Nursery the daily attend
ance sometimes runs up to fifty-five
Youngsters, the most of whom seem to
be between 2 and 5 years of age. There
is one very young baby, lite Rosie,
who is a regular dumping. She's only
6 months old. and, of course, she can
not walk. but she lies on her back all
day long, kicking her feet and beaming
upon all who look owe the side of her
crib.
Miss Frances Dorsey is in charge,
and her assistant is Mrs. Anna Bergere,
and they have their hands full from
morning until night. "There is a great
deal of work. and sometimes it's try
ing" said Miss Dorsey; but we love it,
and could not think of giving it up for
something else"
It's a jewel of a place, that nursery.

big enough for himself, and the tables
are low, too, so that every meal is
like a play tea party. Here the kim
dergarten lessons are given, the SAM
methods being used as are employed in
the public schools. The children learn
to cut and fold bright papers,, to paste,
to paint, to sing little songs and play
little games, and to train their little
minds into paying attention to their
teacher, which must be mastered al
ways before any lesson can be expect
ed to have any effect.
Every child of school age goes to the
regular school, returning to the nursery
for dinner, and remaining there after
school until their mothers call for
them. There are a few girls 8 and 10
years old, who have learned to run err
rands, sweep the piazza and do other
little things between school hours. They
get a little training in household mat
tiers, which otherwise they might not
receive.
When you finally decide to tear your
self from the nursery, and it's far from
easy, for the children are sociable and
u%nconcerned and altogether delightful,
you visit the dining room. At the win
dow is the table of those in charge,
which is just like any regular grown-up
table, and down the centre of the room
runs a long table which comes about to
your knees, set with dear little dishes,
and surrounded by more of those di-
minutive chairs.
It's a circus to watch the business
like manner in which those children
prepare for dinner. Perhaps they are
all in the playground, tumbling in and
out of the swings. riding the hobby
horses, or burying themselves in the
sand piles, each absorbed in his own
particular pleasure; but just let the
matron walk to the window and am
nounce, Children, run and get your
bibs. It's time for dinner!" and quick
as a wink. the playground is empty.
In another minute you see a smiling
face above a huge bib, each child has
found his place at the table, and the
important process of filing that va
cant, yearning space, a healthy, happy
child's stomach, has begun. They all
have. plenty to eat, and the food is
good and wholesome.
In a little while, with renewed energy
and good nature, they scamper again
into the spacious yard, each one to find
his own particular delight. Our photog-
rapher would have taken some inside
views had not one little brown rascal
become greatly interested in the flash
light mechanism. 1t was rumored that
he ate it, bat it's a matter of doubt, for
he showed no i'll effects.

CARNEGlE'S MONEY
STILL ON THE SHELF.

A letter from Miss Frances Rathbone,
Librarian of East Orange, was received
last night by the East Orange City
Council, in which she replied to the re-
quest made by the Council that the
trustees hold a public meeting to allow
citizens to say whether the offer of
Andrew Carnegie to build three addi-
tional branch libraries in the city should
be accepted.
Miss Rathbone claimed the trustees
did not feel as they should call a meet
ing for this purpose. but would be glad
to attend if the Council called one. The
Council, she wrote, advised that the
money be accepted from Mr.. Carnegie,
which the trustees did. The First Ward
branch was practically a necessity, it
was claimed, and the trustees desired
to go ahead with the work.
