a body Of devoted and loyal mu-
sicians of high skill, and with the
warm support and encouragement
OF the numerous public, there
seems to be no reason that the fu-
ture should not hold for the Phila-
delphia Orchestra greater achieve
ments even than those which have
already made it famous. Music
lovers of Wilmington owe spec
ial debt to the earnest efforts Of
the Delaware Committee who have
made it possible for the orchestra
to be heard here again during the
coming winter. Mrs. John B.
Bird will again be the president
of the Delaware Committee, and
the chairman Of the Subscription
Committee will remain in the eff
cient hands of Mrs. William N.

EDUCATIONAL CAR
AT NEWARK CENTER
Many Visit California Exhibit

The passerby, in the streets Of
Newark early last Monday even
ing, met crowds of school child
ren. Almost invariably the sub
ject of their conversation was
the California Exhibit Car, on the
siding at Newark Center. "Woe
unto the management if they have
failed to measure up to their prom
Use, the writer thought, "these
youngsters are certainly spreading
it everywhere. But a visit to the
car in the evening revealed the fact
that these little advertising agents
had reported favorably, for the
crowd was all the car could accom-
modate. And well it should have
been. The collection of curiosities,
most of which were from Califor-
MIA, was well worth the price of
admission asked.
The products displayed form the
official exhibit from the north bay
counties-Napa, Marin, Lake, So
noma and Mendocine-of Califor-
MIA, and speak eloquently of the soil
and climate that are to be found
there. The first car contains ex-
hibits principally from the vege-
table kingdom. There are great
luscious white pears, mammoth ap-
pies and peaches-in some in
stances of the same variety as are
grown at home. In inviting con-
trast to the dried fruit used in the
east, are the delicious fresh april
cots and ripe olives, the latter
used in California not as a relish,
but as food. There are also the
marvellous developments of Luther
Burbank; the spineless cactus, the
seedless lemon, and the seedless
grape. In addition to the Califor-
MIA products are many others from
foreign parts; the cocoanut in it's
three-cornered husk, the almond in
the hull, and the silk worm in its
cocoon.
The chief attraction in the Sec
ond car is the huge shark whose
great mouth yawns a hideous well
come 70 the approaching visitor.
This monster shark weighing 10,
383 lbs, was captured in 1905 by
Emanuel Perris, and a crew Of
eight men, in Monterey Bay. The
hide was soaked in formaldehyde,
treated with oils, and then stretch
ed on a wooden frame, in perfect

imitation Of the living creature. 1t
is impossible to enumerate the
many subjects for study to the
young students in natural history.
There is the tiny alligator halfway
out of the egg; the preserved speci-
men, captured when two years old,
and the live one now twenty years
old. The car contains all sorts Of
freaks of nature from the two head
ed lamb which lived four days, TO
the four-legged chicken which
managed to survive for two. There
is also displayed the much heard
Of tarantula spider, so often
brought into the country concealed
in banana lunches, and the far
famed octopus or devil fish, from
which we get the brown fluid from
which sepia-well-known to photo
graphers-is made. Live monkeys
and Peruvian cavies entertain the
children. The car has brought to
our homes curiosities heretofore
heard Of by many rather than seen,
and its educational value should
be appreciated by the entire COM
munity.

Series OF Concerts Announced

Music lovers will receive with
pleasure the announcement that
the Philadelphia Orchestra will
continue it's series of concerts at
The Playhouse, Wilmington, dur
ing the coming winter.
Through the Delaware commit
tee Of the Philadelphia Orchestra
Association arrangements have
been made to give four concerts as
usual. The dates will be Monday
evening, Novmber 16, Monday ev-
ening, December 21, Monday even
ing, January 25, Monday evening,
February Is. The soloists engag-
ed for these concerts will be Dan
lei Maquarre, Olga Samaroff and
Edwin Evans. Mr.. Maquarre will
be remembered as the first hutistt
of the Philadelphia Orchestra. He
is graduate Of the Paris Conserva-
tory, where he won the first prize,
and he has appeared on numerous
occasions both with the Philadel-
phia and Boston Symphony Or
chestras as soloist. Nine. Samaroff
who in private life is Mrs. Stokow-
ski, will return to the concert stage
this winter after an absence of
two years. AS a pianist she has
worldwide reputation, and her ap-
pearance here will be especially in
teresting in view Of the numerous
friends that she has in this city.
Mr. Evans is a baritone who has
appeared on numerous occasions
IN Wilmington and his work is
favorably known to the concert
goers of this city. One of the pro.
grams will be devoted solely to
compositions of Richard Wagner
and will include a number of sele3-
tions from "Parsifal.
With but two exceptions all the
members of the Philadelphia Or
chestra who have been abroad have
returned to this country, 50 that
the personnel Of the orchestra will
practically be intact. Mr.. Stokow-
ski has been unfortunate enough
to engage suitable substitutes for
the musicians who were unable to
reutrn. With conductor of sue
fine genius as Mr.. Stokowski, with

Theory In Practice

Professor Mary E. Rich, head of
the Department of Education at
the Women's College Of Delaware,
visited the Newark Public Schools
on Monday. Professor Rich in a
recent article published in the
Every Evening Of Wilmington, de-
fining the ideals of her department
gave the following quotation from
Horace Mann, as expressive of the
spirit which is to pervade her
work: Unless anything is grow
ing, one former is worth thousand
reformers." Although "all theory,
past and present, will be studied
with the hope of finding means of
meeting present situations" every
effort will be made to acquaint the
students with the practical as well
as the ideal.
Before student Of education
can judge what theory will be of
value Professor Rich declares,
"she must know real situations. To
gain an understanding of child ma
ture, children must be studied; to
appreciate the value of a course of
study, one course or part of one,
should be made. To be able to
judge text books must be examined.
The department Of education is
very anxious for the students in
training to realize the possibilities
and difficulties of teaching and will
be grateful to the workers in the
field if they will send in problems
for the students to work on. All
those sending in such problems will
not only be helping to make the
work of the college more alive but
also be helping to better the schools
of Delaware, by giving the results
of their practical experience to
these teachers in training.
