MUSIC BEFORE
SCHOOL STUDENTS
High School Pupils Delighted
With Morning Recital by
MIR. Van Leer
GETS CONGRATULATIONS
FOR the ENTERTAINMENT

The High School is enjoying feast
of music this week. Not content with
a concert this evening, the pupils this
morning we're given a treat in song
recital by Edward Shipper Van Leer.
The visitors seats in the auditorium
and balcony we're well filled with
alumni and friends of the school. The
school contributed a song or two to
the program. and their hearty and
spirited singing was a pleasure to
listen to.
Mr.. Van Leer was introduced by
Principal A. H. Berlin, who spoke OF
the appreciation the school felt of the
soloist's courtesy in. giving them the
pleasure of the recital
Mr.. Van Leer's first number was the
familiar melody. 20, Believe Me If All
Those Endearing Young Charms, "
which he gave with a sweetness and
expressiveness that held the school
in absorbed attention. Merry
Streams" the second number, was a
ballad whose simple pathos was deli
cately handled by the singer
The Largo" of Handel, gave the
school an opportunity to hear Mr.. Van
Leer at his best, the selection being
especially well suited to the mellow
richness of his voice.
The final selection was an old
French aria. Mr.. Van Leer's voice
possesses a soft, caressing quality
that is particularly pleasing in an old
romance such as this number was.
In response to the storm Of ap-
plause, the soloist left the audience
in a state of laughter over the girl
whose greatest charm was the little
freckle on her nose.
At the close of the recital the school
extended to Mr.. Van Leer a rising
vote of thanks. The exercises con-
cluded with the singing of the old
saga, "Olaf Trygvasson," by the
school.

Thomas b. Reed was once the victim

there was still one great danger TO

Whatever may be done to insure
safety, he said, it seems that in all

that people in time of safety realize
the Importance OF not falling into a
panic. and yet when the critical mo-

tirely.
Chief Moran said he did not think
that a fire, such as occurred in New

but that this belief would not lessen
his efforts to make every employing

NO FIRE TRAPS
in The CITY
Chief Moran Sees That Fac
tories are Made Safe for
Working Girls
WILL ORDER ESCAPES
ON SOME BUILDINGS

With the holocaust in New York, in
which at least 142 girls who were
employed in a shirtwaist factory lost
their lives, indelibly stamped upon
the public mind, there is every rea-
son to believe that Fire Chief Simon
f. Moran. who has been engaged in
making inspection of the various big
buildings, factories, playhouses, NOV
ing picture theatres, Of the city for
some time. will be more searching
and exacting than ever before.
There are many factories and mills
in Wilmington in which girls are
employed and the chief will give these
his particular attention within the
next few days. On last Thursday he
visited the plant of the American To-
bacco Company, at Vandever avenue
and Lamott street. where about ESQ
girls are employed, where he said he
found conditions very good.
"The factory is on the first floor
and all that would be necessary for
the girls to do in the event OF fire
would be to step out OF the windows
to the ground, a couple of feet dis
tant," he said "There also are a num-
ber OF doors to the building and there
is little chance OF such a fire as oc-
cured in New York happening there"
More Girls Protected.
Another place visited by the fire
chief during the past week was the
cigar factory of 70. NJ Schwarz and
Company, over Eighth street market
house. at Eighth and Orange streets.
This building was practically destroy
ed by fire several years ago and was
rebuilt About 150 girls are employed
by this firm and the fire chief said he
made a thoroubh inspection of the
place. while there are no fire es-
capes," he said, there is a wide stair

leading TO the street, and the addi-
tion to this the girls in case OF fire,
could step from windows to the roof
the Bowe Carriage Works adjoining"
The fire chief said he also noticed
that I'm each window there was a
bucket filled with water for instant
use in case OF fire.
In view of these existing condi-
tons, together with the fact that the
factory is on the second floor. a short
distance from the Sidewalk Chief
Moran Is OF the opinion that the girls
in this factory are amply protected
from fire.
Hosiery Must Build Escapes.
Chief Moran also inspected a hosiery
on the east side of the city. a three
story factory building. and there he
found conditions not so good. He
saw that there were no fire escapee
