How will the pupils Iof Newark
and surrounding towns spend the hot
days of July and August? Fortu-
nately some of them will take an
extended trip to the country or the
seashore. Not all will have this op-
portunity for rest and play. There
will be many stay-at-homes and these
will be in the majority To a great
many the vacation period will mean
little short of actual torture-stuffy
rooms. hot pavements, corner lots,
dangerous automobiles and the thou
sand and one so-called vacation fea-
lures that are supposed to bring de-
light to the heart of the small boy
and his sister 1t is to the little
ones who will be forced to remain at
home that the Evening Star puts
the following question:
How would you like to go to one
of the largest amusement parks in
New Jersey any day in the week
from 10 a. m. to p. m, and romp
and play in the Shade of a thousand
trees-without any cost whatsoever?
Or, if you are fond of music. how
would you like to hear a different
opera each week throughout the en-
tire summer as the guest of the Eve
ming Star?
Here Is the Answer.
The Evening Star proposes to fur
nish normal, wholesome play for
every boy and girl in Newark who
cares to take advantage of the plan.
We are going to work in harmony
with the various playground associa-
tions, the Board of Education. the
Park Commissions and all others IN
terested in children and their hap
piness. The plan will be to have
every boy and girl in Newark or
in any of the surrounding towns
spend the hours between 10 o'clock
in the morning and o'clock In the
evening as the guests of the Eve
ming Star in an all-summer outing
series at Olympic Park.
Park Owner Co-Operates.
The management of Olympic Park
has extended to the school children
through the Evening Star the free
dom of the big pleasure resort at
Irvington, and has promised to give
them the key to the park without
let or hindrance. And for the spe-
cial entertainment of the Evening
Stars little guests there will be sew
eral extra features, including after
noon band concerts, motion picture
plays and even an entire opera per-
formance once a week-just for the
school children.
Education and Play.
One of the biggest treats of the
entire plan will be free admission to
the Olympic Park Opera House
every Saturday afternoon. Here the
children will hear the masterpieces
of light opera, including such time
honored compositions as THE Con
doliers." 1.-THE Black Hussar,' Dolly
Warden" IA Merry Countess" THE
Queens Lace Handkerchief" Chimes
of Normandy" THE Fortune Teller"
and others that have made operate
history for many years. Thus every
pupil will be able to hear the best In
light opera and musical comedy and
by so doing gain practical knowl-
edge of standard compositions; will
be able to memorize the delightful
melodies that have been whistled and
hummed for so many years and COM
bine wholesome play with charming
and uplifting music.

publish complete, detailed an
nouncement regarding the school
children's free outings and opera ar
rangements. Parents who are not
already on the subscription books
should make sure that their news

away your books tomorrow, be sure

party. You will not have to wait long
