A natural outgrowth of the play
ground movement has been the hold
ing of neighborhood festivals on the
playground. On the Carmelita Play
ground in Pasadena, California, two
thosuand children and adults gather
ed for a Halloween Frolic Nearly
every boy and girl carried a JACKIE
lantern. Most of the children were
in some kind of makeup and the
masqueraders filled the ground The
neighborhood was playing together.

ONE ARMED GIRL
WOULD TEACH
Educators Discuss Future of
Stamford Applicant Barred
From Other Work

Stamford, April 6-"Is it worth
while for a girl with only one arm,
who must be self-supporting to pre-
pare herself for a career as school
teacher? The physical disability
shuts her out from typewriting and
stenography, dressmaking, millinery,
and other lines of work. Will it bar
her from school teaching?"
This question has been put up to
leading educators in Connecticut and
Massachusetts,, first by Stamford part
les interested in the girl, whose name
has not been made public, and then
by the School Board Of Stamford.
Marcus White, Principal of the
New Britain Normal School, wrote:
81 regret to say that the young lady
probably would not be admitted to Il
Connecticut normal school. The State
Board has ruled in former cases that
it is not proper to put a teacher with
striking physical defects in charge Of
children"
]. r. Perkins, Principal Of the
State Normal School at Danbury, says:
81 don't believe that the loss of an
arm would affect a persons teaching
in the common schools"
Henry T. Burr, Principal of the
State Normal School at Willimantic,
writes: II am inclined to think it
would not be a serious handicap. My
experience with children is that they
pay surprisingly little attention to
matters Of this sort. A teacher with
out physical handicaps is always at an
advantage in securing a position"
Charles D. Hine, Secretary of the
State Board of Education: There is
no normal school rule in regard to
physical defects. One girl with a
short, unfinished arm graduated and
became very successful teacher. 1t
seems to me a teacher should have
two hands but an applicant who is
defective would not be rejected. If
such a one were graduated she would
probably have difficulty in securing a
| school"
Frank E. Parlin, Superintendent Of
Schools at Cambridge, Mass: "I don't
feel that the impression made upon
| pupils by a teachers appearance j.
| of great importance, although ]
should prefer to have one with no
deformity. A person having lost an
arm is greatly handicapped, although
| have known them to be successful
| teachers. 1 am inclined to think such
a teacher would be more handicapped
with younger pupils"
| 4. G.. Willard, Superintendent OF
! Stamford schools: eff a teacher with
one arm and the physical defect ap-
| parent to the eye applied for a posi-
| ton her chances might not be good
| But it would be different if she ha6
an artificial arm to hide the deform-
| ity."

SALE OF PRIVILEGES
Now Is the Time if You Want to Ge
i'm Right at Steeplechase

Elsewhere in this paper Captain
Paul Boyton, is advertising the sale
of privileges at Steeplechase Island,
for the coming season. His an
nouncement makes the fact clear that
there will be no exclusive concessions
in the refreshment line, which he feels
has been one of the drawbacks of the
past. Captain Boyton said last night:
photographers will have the first
chance at the concessions as Bridge
port merchants will have the prefer
ence, in the purchase of supplies and
material, to be used at the island. We
only ask for a fair and reasonable
price for the concession. Many i'm
provements will be made and new at
fractions provided. Those interested
from a business standpoint can come
to the island at any time of the day
up to o'clock in the afternoon, the
bridge being open to privilege men,
who can now select their buildings 1
am confident of a very successful sea-
son.

This literally for the three scenes of
the play transpire in these original
and unconventional places.
The first act takes place in the
drawing room, a scheme of rich orr
entail decorations, and then shifting
to the kitchen where all the upper
tendon are drawn by an unreIenting
fate, which holds them up to endless
laughter; they at last seek refuge on
the roof which is made dream of
beauty by festoons of 1ncandescent
lights and other decorations of a
garden.
The company which has been en-
gagged for the play will, it is promised
be first class in every respect. 1t is
the one which is playing in all the
large cities. All the members have
appeared in the New York cast during
the long run there. It includes Will
lard Louis, Misses Irma La Pierre,
Rose Tapley, and Ida Waterman, also
Messrs. ames Manley, w. S. Lyons,
Frederick Cousins, Thomas Mcmahon,
Frank L. Davis and others

acts. with an unusually strong cast,
which includes John Hyams, Leila
Mcintyre, Harry Clarke, Percival
Aylmer, Henrietta Lee, Irving Brooks,
Nita Allen, Anna Laughlin, Anna
Walker, George S. Trimble and a
chorus of mystifying be Nty.
An event of more than usual i'm
portance in the theatrical season is
the presentation in this city at the
Park Theatre Saturday April Sth mat
inee and evening Of the great comedy
Seven Days which will be present
ed here by Wagenhals and Kemper
of the Astor Theatre, New York.
where the play has already had a run
of over four hundred nights to crowd
ed houses. "Seven Days" is the only
comedy which has ever run through
an entire season in New York and
then continued all through the sum-
mer without losing a night, and then
proceeded into the second year. 1t is
the joint work of Mary Roberts Rim
chart and Avery Hopwood. Mrs. Rim
chart wrote ''The Circular Staircase,
1.-THE Man in Lower Ten" and when
a Man Marries'' from which .tSeven
Days" was dramatized Her books
are having a great sale. Mr.. Hop
wood has two of the biggest success
es now running in New York to his
credit. One of these is Judy Forgot
and the other 'Nobody's Widow
which David Belasco is producing
with Blanche Bates as the star.
Seven Days is a comedy pure and
simple, not one of those comedies
which have been so prevalent of late,
and which depend upon their vicious
ness for whatever effect they get, but
clean, wholesome, amusing comedy,
comedy of the best kind, which, while
farcial at times, is also possessed of
sentimental interest, and at all times
presents a natural plot and a Sc
quence of events such as enter into
our daily life.
The place is in New York on the
Riverside Drive, the time now, and
the characters such as are to be met
daily in New York's smart set. SO
far so good, but when these ordinar-
lily staid and dignified persons be-
come caught and involved helplessly
in a chain of unexpected circum-
stances, the fun begins and RACES fast
and furiously while it lasts 1t runs
from the coal hole to the roof of the
aristocratic dwelling on the drive.

PUBLICITY AID TO CHURCH
New York Pastor Tells New England
CIergymen to Advertise.

Cambridge, Mass, April 6-"Adver-
tise your churches in the newspapers
and keep in touch with newspaper
men, is the advice of the Rev. G.
F. Reisner, D. D., pastor of Grace
Church, New York, gave the assem-
bled clergymen at the New England
annual conference of Methodist
churches held in this city today.
"It is a great mistake for some
clergymen to keep aloof from newspa-
permen and refuse to be interviewed, -
said DR.. Reisner Why, everybody
reads the newspapers and if you want
to get your interests before the pub
lie you must advertise in this impor-
tant agency. They will always treat
you fairly. if you give them reason
for doing so. Why I never could get
a congregation in my New York
church did I not get the newspapers
on my Side''

TROUBLE IN PORTUGAL
Military Domination Throughout the
Whole Country
Badajoz, March SLATER /

BadajoZ, March Slater four sue
cessive postponem ents, the Portu-
guese provisional government seems
definitely to have made up it's mind
to stick to May IA as the date for the
national election. This undoubtedly
means that the ministry thinks it has
fixed matters so as to insure it's own
continuation in office. Should there
be a slip, giving the monarchists or
any rival Republican faction a ma
jority or even a large minority, there
will certainly be trouble, for there
is much dissatisfaction with the pres
ent regime and it can only hold its
own by an appearance of overwhelm-
ing strength. 1t has the country
completely under military domination
at present and is using the troops ag-
gressively for repressive purposes In
ing the earlier days of the republic.

lPLEADS FOR STUDY OF CREEK
prof. Fornnan Says It Will Divert the
Mind From Money-Getting.

Ithaca, n. Y, April Or. Lewis
IL Forman, for many years Professor
sof Greek at Cornell University, made
n plea to the local Board of Educa-
,ticn yesterday to restore the subject
lschooi.
In response to a question whether
izhe board should devote one room
and one teacher for instruction in
Greek where only one pupil had APP
fplied In three years, DR.. Forman re-
.piied In the affirmative. BY doing so
The pupil would be given a chance in
this democracy to do his best, he
said.
Prof Forman declared that the
study OF Greek would divert the
minds OF the young from the passion
of money-getting, and that the cure
of this passion was worth all it cost.
