How a small one-teacher school in
the country may have all the con-
veniences popularity supposed to be the
exclusive privilege of the city is de-
monstrated in the model rural school
at Kirksville, Mo-, according to H. w.
Foght. specialist in rural education for
the United States Bureau of Educa-
ton. Indoor toilets and shower baths,
drinking fountains, n a modern heat
ing plant, are shown to be possible. in
the country school, however remote
from the city. Furthermore, the cost
is said to be within the means of a
comparatively small community.
The Kirksville. school is conspicuous
for it's utilization Of every available
inch of space. 1t is only a story
building, slightly wider thar the typi-
cal Missouri country school, but the
attic and basement are both put to
valuable use. The attic is employed
for manual training and domestic
science, n there is an excellent her
barium. The basement contains the
heating plant, a combination Of hot
water and hot air, described as very
economical in use; the fuel room; a
bulb room for the outdoor garden; and
a dark room for developing photo
graphs.

BILLIE'S PICTURE

Miss Billie Burke is the latest Froh-
man star to have her portrait added
to the gallery of paintings which each
season increases in the foyer of the
Empire theater, New York Miss
Burke has been painted by S~igismund
de ~Ivanowski in the character of Lily
'Parradell, star of the Pandora thea
ter in The Mind the Paint Girl"
When given the order for the paint
ing Mr.. de IvanoWski hesitated to
undertake the work, because, as he
put it, his studio was already so
crowded with unfinished work. But
when he was told inadvertently that
Miss Burke's hair is of a red that
out-Titians even Titan, the artist
jumped at the opportunity with DEM
onstrative delight. Red hair he
exclaimed. "Ah, that is superb; let
me go to work. I will almost be
willing to tax advantage of such an
opportunity for fine coloring-gratis.'

pressure tank. operated by a gasoline
engine. A septic-tank sewer system
is maintained at small expense.
The. main floor of the building, be-
sides containing the classroom proper,
has a small community library, separ-
ate from the school library, emphasize
ing the purpose Of the rural school as
a community center. The classroom
itself occupies most of the floor. The
desks and seats in it are both adjust
able and movable, with individual plat
forms; and when all are removed to
one side, as many Is 200 people "a be
accommodated, thus making it possible
to use the room for community gath

teacher Is in charge and the school she
conducts is an observation school,.
Candidates for rural-school certificates
attend it at least Once a day and OBJ

training in the normal school they re-
ceive practice work in the school.
Teachers who have gone out from
experience in this model rural school
are 500 per cent better teachers"
says Mr.. Foght; but the best indica-
ton Of the value of such a school Is
the way its leading features have been
copied. In the country about Kinks
vile many similar schools have been
built. They do not always copy all
the details. but the attic arrangement
and the sanitary equipment are gem
orally duplicated. Buildings modelled
on the Kirksyille school have been
erected in Mississippi and Nebraska"

This week Missoula is to have the

WIVES"

The really great hit Of the past
week in New York City has been the
production of Franz Lehar's latest OPP
~eretta, The Man with Three Wives"
at Weber & Fields theater, under the
management of the Mcssrs. Shubert.
There is no doubt that this piece has
scored M of those substantial sue
cesSes which prove of enduring quail
ity. Though perhaps it is just to say
that the music is the most notable
feature Of the production, for Lehar
never wrote n more thoroughly fasci-
mating scores; it is equally true that
the humorous quality of the libretto,
with its consecutive story and comic
situations, counts very much in at
tanning such unequiVocal popular APP
prevail.
The success Of THE Man with
Three Wives" n the favorable COM
The Daily Missoulian. [volume] (Missoula, Mont.) 1904-1961, 1913-02-02

ments made by the critics concerning
the cast, have led the Messrs. Shubert
to o that this organization will
form the basis of a company to be
known as the international Light
Opera Company" which they will en-
deavor to make into a repertoire light
opera organization of the highest
standards. The continued good for
III of the Gilbert & Sullivan Opera
company, which is now on tour, has
proved conclusively that the public
takes a special and affectionate in
terest in permanent organizations,
and the Messrs. Shubert wish to fos-
ter his tendency, as they believe it
puts the business of making theatrical
productions on the firnest possible
footing. The new organization will
offer only modern original works.
THE International Opera Company
as the organization presenting THE
Man with Three Wives is henceforth
to be called, will always remain, as at
present, a strictly non-star company.
1t is, in other words, the purpose of
the management to produce an all
around" company in which the most
prominent player may be called upon,
when occasion demands, to play a role
of quite secondary Importance. The
leading players in this production,
whose names deserve special mention
in view of this development, are Cecil
Lean, Alice Yorke, Sophye Barnard,
Dolly Castles, Charlotte Greenwood,
Dorothy Webb, Ida Jeanne, Cleo May
field, Robert q. Pitkin, Leslie Kenyon,
Stewart Baird, Arthur Geary, sydney
Geary, Sydney Grant and Harold Robe.

CAROLINA WHITE

Early in the week the announce
ment was made that the date for
Carolina Whites appearance here had
been changed from February 3 to
Thursday, February C, The singer is
now on the coast and so pressing were
the demands for her there that her
manager asked for these three days of
grace and the request was granted by
the Philharmonic society. Since her
opening night with the Chicago Grand
Opera company this season Carolina
White has almost nightly added tri-
umph after triumph to her long list
of brilliant successes. The press has
been overlooking in its praise of her
work at every city she has visited.
She is recognized by all as artist
and more than artist, as a star of the
first magnitude, in the very zenith of
her powers. She is a young woman
still, undoubtedly the most beautiful
on the operate stage, and an Ameri-
can girl whose present and future
successes we may follow with patri-
otto pride and justifiable interest.
To hear her sing in song recital is
even more intimate q revelation of her
art. 1t gives more of her personality,
and permits more freedom and a wild
er range in her program. She will,
however, include several of the oper-
attic arias with which she sang her
self into fame. She will also present
some modern Italian songs which are
strikingly beautiful and very little
known in America, as We'll as n wide
selection of English songs.
