EASTERN STUDENTS DANCE.
Trip Lightly n In English, Irish
spanish, and Italian.

A capacity audience filled the assembly
hall OF Eastern High School last night,
when songs and dances of the nations
were given by four groups OF young la
dies. The stage was beautifully decorated
with palms and blossoming plants. and a
village street scene in the background
made a fitting sitting for the folk dances.
With tinkling castanets and jlngling tam
borines the merry Spanish girls danced
upon the stage, sang Bohemian songs,
and were replaced by rosy checked Ital-
ians in a gay Tarantelle.
Pretty Irish girls in white and green
came on next, and won much applause
from the audience by their rollicking jiG.
The English scene was particularly pleas
ing Quantity clad maidens. in simple
froCks, with baskets OF flowers on their
arms, scattered roses on the stage as
they sang Summer Is a-Conln' In
The solo parts were sustained by
Misses wilkins, Wann, Mann. and Do
ings. Refreshments and dancing in the
gym" followed the entertainment.

sidered unusually high. because OF the
fact that the neighborhood is entirely
residential and that most OF the people
are OF the working class. This small per-
centage Of children is thought by DR..
Murray TO be due to a decreased birth
rate and an abnormally high infantile
death rate.
The distribution OF the families among
the premises OF this district may be
worth considering" says DR.. Murray, in
his report. This is not a section of
tenements. in the sense Of containing
a number OF buildings built for the &C
commOdation Of several families each In
a separate apartment. More than 20 per
cent of the houses in this district are
Cs the five and six room type, for the oc-
cupancy OF one family. However, OF the
1,2OS occupied premises in this district
20. or q per cent. are occupied by two
fslnilies. This joint occupancy of one
small house by two families. although
not necessarily causing overcrowding. yet
brings together in close contact all the
occupants Of the premises and Affords
greater chances for the spread OF dis
ease than would be the case should each
family occupy an equal amount of space
in distinct and separate apartment
Contributes to Mortality.
Household wastes from such premises
are naturally increased in proportion to
the number OF families keeping house in
dependently thereon. and tends not only
to an increase in quantity. but also often
to a lack Of adjustment as to RESPONSE
bility for its proper disposal.
The maintenance OF the premises Of
this district, both by the tenants and by
the owners undoubtedly in no small way
contributes to the mortality period. Such
conditions as have already been cited in
connection with the nuisances and viola
tons of the various regulations of the
district found during this investigation
tend in many ways to reduce the salu-
brity OF this district"

Teachers Pension Fund
Successfully Operates
nuities to- Pedagogues for Age or Disability
After Certain Period of Serpice.

States, are alike and there Is the great
est variety In the method and proportion
OF the contribution TO the pension fund
made by the State or city where teach
ers' pensions are paid. Figures Of the
total cost are not available. nor enough
data on which II Is safe to predict ulti-
mate success or failure. In Rhode Is
land the legislature appropriates all that
is needed. and in New Jersey the cities
do the same. Connecticut and Virginia
pay 5000 each. and Maryland s25.ooo.
Some cities pay from 5000 to $4,000 a
year in fixed amounts, but In most cases
a special tax In levied for the purpose,
ranging from one-tenth of a mill to
per cent assessed on the grand duplicate
Teachers Contribute to Fund.
In some cases 1t Is / per cent OF the
total school fund, and in others only the
fund. Some cities contribute as much
or one-half as much as the teachers
themselves pay. In some cities in New
York IL is from to 5 per cent Of the
money raised by the excise tax. The
vary greatly, but generally II Is a per-
centage Of the salary, depending in some
cases on length OF service and runnin &
from / to 3 per cent. with a limit
often placed at s12 a year where the
contribution Is ] per cent OF the sal
ary. The annual assessments run up
as high as so or even $50 q year in
some cases. These dues must generally
be paid for as many years as are re-
quired TO entitle to an age pension,
while in other cases a limit Is stated
from 800 to $500.
Ths main difficulty in maintaining a
teachers pension system is inherent in
the calling. The ma ajority Of teachers do
not enter the work with any idea Of
making II a life pursuit That is why
teachers generally object TO compulsory
membership in the pension systems, and
the systems which compel contributions
and those who do not are about equally
divided. For the same reason teachers
are not friendly to a pension system which
compels contributions, and will not re-
fund any OF the money so contributed
II the teacher stops teaching. There are
only six such systems. Such rule is
not so Objectionable when membership
In the system is not compulsory. In
twenty-seven systems a refund is made
TO the teacher leaving the service before
retirement, varying In amount from one
third TO all they have paid in, the amount
often dependent upon whether they re-
sign or are discharged. In some cases
the teacher is required 10 pay a small
sum annually 10 the fund after retire
ment and while drawing the pension.
The most common type OF teachers
pension system is one in which the
teacher contributes small amount
yearly, between l and 2 per cent Of the
salary, for a period of about thirty years.
and which is aided by the State or city.
There seems to be no question that such
a system can be made highly successful.
