a BOY of errat1c tendencies, to-
n gether with exceptionally
bright intellectual qualities,
was always in trouble in his city
school.
He took small interest IN his
studies, was often late. and his
report usually brought sorrow to
his home.
He moved into the country and
entered graded school. and be-
came enamored of study, went
eagerly to his classes and was re-
ported among the leaders in all his
studies.
There were two explanations of
this change.
One was the normal. free, out
of-doors life the boy lived; the
other was that HE WAS ONE OF
FIFTEEN IN HIS CLASSES IN
STEAD OF ONE OF SIXTY, AS
IN TOWN.
He felt no individual RESPONSIBLE
ity in the throng, but in the smaller
band of students he stood forth a
personality and he felt the no
blesse oblige" of the situation.
A wave of dissatisfaction is
sweeping over the country regard
ing our school system.
And eventually this will cause a
change to be made.
The larger understanding Of
mothers regarding education will
result in the personal element en-
tering into the training of chill
dren.

Schools Unsafe for Average
American Child.
For the well born, normal mind
ed, healthy bodied child. who has
wise and careful guardians or pa
rents to assist in his mental guild
ance, the public school forms a
good basis on which to build an
, education. For the average Ameri-
can child of excitable nerves and
precocious tendencies, 1t is like
deep surf swimming for the mex
perienced and adventurous bather.
The great foundation of educa-
tion-character-is not taught in
the public schools. There is no sys-
tematized process of developing a
child's power of concentration;
there is not time for this in the
examining process now in vogue
and with the enormous pressure
placed on teachers.
No teacher can do Justice to
more than fifteen children through
the school hours. In many Of our
public schools there are fifty and
sixty children under one instruct
or. This is fatal to the nervous sys-
tenn Of the teacher and deprives the
pupils of that personal sympathy

OPERATIC CONCERT
A MUSICAL TREAT
Miss Alice Nielsen Presents Well
arranged Programme at
the Columbia.

One of the best musical treats of this
season was the operate concert of Miss
Alice Nielsen, assisted by Miss EIaise
Gagneau, contralto; Signor RamelIa.
Signor Fornari, Signor Tavecchia, Signor
Mardones, and Maestro Cesare CIandes-
tint, at the piano, yesterday afternoon in
the Columbia Theater. No more delight
full singing has been heard here than
they did yesterday in their miscellan-
eOus programme so generously arranged,
as well as in the third act of Rossini's S
Barber of Seville" which they gave in
costume.
1t is rare good fortune to hear a quintet
of voices all so good, and accompanying
so much talent in acting. The orchestra,
OF course, was lacking, but the effect
of the lesson scene was remarkably good
with a piano accompaniment played ny
Signor Clandestini. The costuming was
rich, fresh, and very handsome, and the
voices were all rich, fresh, and well
trained
The cast was as follows: Rosina. Miss
Alice Nielsen; Berta, Miss Elaise Gag
neau; Ccnte d'Almaviva, Signor Ramella;
Figaro, Signor Fornari; Don Bartolo,
Signor Tavecchia; Don Basilio, Signor
Mardones.
The miscellaneous part Of the pro-
gramme was as follows:
Duet, Linda di Cnlmognix .DouizeIti

Miss Nielsen granted one encore WILLIE
by's Love Has Wings" which she sang
charmingly. Miss Nielsen, who is so in
dissolubly connected with the beautiful
light and comic English operas, has lost
none Of her vocal and personal charms.
She is not great actress, but a grace
ful one, and her vocalization makes up
for any lack of the other. The men OF
her company were exceptional, especially
Ramella, Fornari. and Tavecchia, and
they will all be warmly welcomed back
to Washington.
