OUR VOTING CONTEST
Many Nominations Already Made
But Still Room for More

| The News-Budget voting contest is
starting out in nice shape but there
seem to be some who should make ex-
cellent candidates who have not yet
been nominated. Persons who already
have good pianos, are not usually such
good candidates as those who are with
out such instruments but who need
them, still some such people will do
well to enter the race and then sell one
of their instruments. There is enough
money represented in the contest to
make it profitable to the winners from
a money stand point as we'll as for the
satisfaction there is in having ones
friends express their good will.
Remember the person who nominates
the winning candidate-gets beautiful
and valuable present. You may nomi-
nate as many worthy ladies as you
desire and then you will stand chance
to get this fine present without any
expense whatever. Then too, you may
help some worthy friend who would
not otherwise get our prize.
If you are nominated do your best
and thus show that you appreciate the
honors shown you by your friend who
nominated you.
''The early bird catches the worm"
and the early bird in this contest has
better show than her tardy sister
in this contest.
Get busy and have your friends help
you. The Indian said "Faint heart
never wins fair lady" so the unreason-
ably timid never win prizes like those
we are offering.

in another column of this issue.

ECONOMY IN
EDUCATION
City Superintendent Gotham Seeks
to Extend Usefulness OF Our
City School System

The School System of City may be
likened to a manufacturing plant.
There are the fixed capital, the raw
material, the laborers, the masters
of the industry, and the finished pro-
duct.
The lack of economy practiced in
the operation of this plant in the
ordinary city is such that any
other plant in the community would
soon shut down all together if operated
in the same way.
This plant runs but nine months of
the year, shutting down entirely dur
ing the months in which the cost of
operation would be the least.
Instead of operating day and night
as many other plants find it economical
to do, this plant runs from a. m. to
4P. NJ hours when much of the raw
material is entirely off the market.
Instead of running six days or seven
days of the week this plant contents it
self with five days Instead of con-
sulting the demands of the market con-
corning its product, this curious plant
continues, age after age, to produce,
or try to produce, the same product.
Under such conditions, it is no wonder
that the raw material is often hard
to find
More common sense and practical
wisdom are demanded in the operation
of the educational plant.
Let us agree that the schools of this
community are to be operated for the
greatest good to all the people that
support them, and that their function
is to change all the individuals of the
community, that can be brought within
their influence, from, what they now
are to what, as nearly as possible, they
ought to be, as regards physical health
and growth, community membership
and usefulness-which includes ability
for self support, and moral worth, or
the appreciation of right and wrong.
If this be the function of the school,
let US all take hold and work together
to increase to the utmost the economic
output of our Educational plant.
If there be any individuals in this
community, outside of the present in
f1uence of the school, who would
appreciate the advantages of such in
struction as we have to offer or of such
training as it might be possible for US
to provide, they are invited to make
known their needs and desires to the
undersigned, who will do all he can to
provide such training or instruction at
such times that such individuals can
avail themselves of it.
This invitation may be of interest to
% foreigners, who feel the need of
training in English;
(2) to young people who, through
necessity or otherwise, left school at
an early age and now feel the need of
further education;
81 ambitious young people, who
would like to rise to positions of great
er usefulness and responsibility, but
who find the lack of education an
obstacle to their progress.
If any of these classes, or others,

HJust a Woman's Way"

1t may truthfully be said that 'Just
A Woman's Way" which comes to
the Worden Opera House on Monday,
Oct. 25, tells a story that is as new
and entertaining as it's title. 1t deals
with theme that is daring and deli
cate, but withal one that is serious
problem in our everyday life. The
author, Mr.. Pascoe, in his development
of the theme has produced characters
and situations that amaze one with the
wonderful frankness of the delinea-
ton. Avoiding the old well worn lines
laid down by most playwrights he has
produced play that shows clearly his
belief that there are men who are not
tailors dummies, heroes who can show
their manhood by nobler signs than a
contempt for all decency, and heroines
who sometimes blush and whose hearts
respond to the real passion that makes
the world go round. He evidently be-
lieves that our everyday life, the emo
tions that constantly assail us, for good
or bad, the complex situations that
constantly occur in the lives of all men
and women form good plot for a
play. Mr.. Pascoe makes a most de-
termined assault upon common, tho
until this time avoided, fault of our
everyday life and the unusualness of
his time and his daring treatment of it
has won for him we'll merited success.

-
~ is with a feeling Of genuine
regret that the musical editor
Of The Bee must begin the du-
- ties Of the musical season by
WSR %chronicling the death Of the be-
- loved and lovable American
Jnposer, Dudley Buck. After a busy and
4 life Of work and fame and honor Dud-
Buck, with the quietness Of the falling
autumn leaves, gently and without warn
g, fell asleep.
Wherever church music is known
throughout the length and breadth Of this
United States the name OF Dudley Buck Is
known and treasured. 1t may not be gem
orally known how very much OF an Amer
lean Dudley Buck was. He had a lineage
which was Of the highest. Away back
about Mayflower times the founder Of the
Buck family in American history left the
shores Of England and sailed for this coun-
try, settling at Hartford, Conn.
In the veins Of Dudley Buck there flowed
the blood Of Winthrops, and saltonstalls,
Dudleys and Adamses. The composer was
named after old Governor Dudley Of the
Plymouth colony. His grandfather was a
lawyer OF renown and in his law office
there was at one time, engaged In reading
law, the famous Daniel Webster.
Dudley Bucks father was q prominent
shipping merchant and the principal owner
Of a line OF steamboats, which piled be-
tween Hartford and New York; and II is
interesting to note that II was Dudley
Bucks fathers steamboat which lowed
the Monitor to Fortress Monroe before
its ever memorable duel with the "Merri-
mac" that episode which marked a great
epoch in the worlds history, which was
pregnant with meaning In the development
Of the United States. and Incidentally fur
nished inspiration for many impassioned
SMILES and Illustrations in the flamboyant
o~rations of a generation gone by.
JohnlRase Greene Hassard, the editor OF
the New American Encyclopedia, sometime
editor Of the Catholic World, and at one
time musical and literary critic Of the
New York Tribune, compares the boyhood
Of Dudley Buck with that Of the great
French musician Hector Berlioz, in some
thing like the following words: The
French composer was intended for a doc
tor, and although his parents we're willing
that he should amuse himself a little with
music, they looked upon Art as a highly
Objectionable career. Berlioz taught him
self to play on an old flageolet, which he
found in an odd corner OF the house; and
afterwards discovering some ancient books,
Rameau's Treatise on Harmony he
spent many a night In the secret study OF
T~horoughbass; when his father, unable to
bear the shrieking flageolet any longer,
made him a present of a new flute as a
palliative, the lad was already something
OF a performer.
