Of the first unfamiliar violinists who
have come or are coming from foreign

rigo Serato is an Italian, and therefore
a neutral. though that fact was scarce

pugnacious attack upon the concerto
than his has not been heard here in

poetry of the music. not even IN the
slow movement. the need of whose
soothing song was never so much felt
as it was after his performance of the
first movement. His mastery Of the
beautiful old work was complete; he
put every one Of its notes mercilessly

achievement. but II did not warm the
hearts Of the lovers OF Beethoven's

TEACHER MOTHER
TEST THIS MORNING
Mrs. Wagner to Report for Duty
Miss Rodman Also-Both to
Sue if Turned Away.

Tn, test for the teacher-mother
Mrs. Lora NJ. Wagner, and the teacher
citizen, Miss Henrietta Rodman, will
come at Q o'clock this morning. At
that hour they will appear at their
schools, Mrs. Wagner in Tottenville
Staten Island, and Miss Rodman at
the Wadleigh High School for Girls,
and demand the right to go on with
their classes. II the right 10 teach Is
refused them, as undoubtedly it will
be, they will return 10 their homes
and each will put her case in the hands
of an attorney.
In calling herself a teacher-ctizen,
as she did last night to a reporter for
The Tribune, Miss Rodman did not
mean TO imply, she said, that Mrs. Wag-
ner wasn't just as much Of a teacher
citizen, but Miss Rodman holds that
the point upon which she has been
suspended by Superintendent Maxwell
involves the right Of the citizen to free
speech. In writing to The Tribune
criticising the Board of Education she
holds that she was merely exercising a
right supposed to be inherent in a de-
mOcracy.
For that reason / consider the issue
more important than the issue of the
teacher-mother," she said. 81 have
been told that | was disloyal to the
Board Of Education. | consider that
should have failed in larger loyalty,
the loyalty ! owe to the public, if
had not uttered my mind upon the
teacher-mother question. And to utter
it most effectively employed the time
l.
"If we are not to be permitted to
discuss the proceedings of a public
board, then this ceases to be a democ-
racy Why is it that in a city where
we have direct primaries the voters are
still so much under the influence Of
political bosses? | think il all goes
back to the public schools. If the
teachers themselves must be subservi-
ent to bosses, how can they make free
and independent citizens Of the chill

ton Department.

Justice is defeated and the lives Of
prisoners endangered because of the
deplorable conditions now obtaining in
the Department of Correction. accord
ing 10 Philip Klein, assistant secretary
of the Prison Association of New York,
who has completed a searching investi
cation into the defects Of the depart
ment.
lr his report. which was made with
the cooperation Of Commissioner Davis
and already has been submitted to her,
Mr.. Klein calls the medical service and
hospita accommodation now available
"deplorably inadequate. its officers too
few and its medical staff inefficient
Magistrates often are unable 10
make proper disposition of cases, be
cause Of lack of medical advice" he
says, "and the lives OF many prisoners
are in danger for the lack of proper
medical attention at the proper time.
"The sanitary supervision Of prisons,
which ought 10 be the duty of the
physician. is largely neglected because
of lack Of standards and OF central
control. Physicians have little or no
incentive for their work and medical
possibilities are neglected for lack of
organization or cooperation by the
profession
No one, continues the report, is at
present RESPONSIBLE for the adequate
inspection OF the service. Each prison
does its own work independently OF
the others. and the three aims of the
service efficient treatment OF disease,
correctional treatment TO eliminate de-
Lilities contributory 20 crime, and the
scientific study of material cases sui

Mr. Klein submits a detailed plan
for the Improvement and organization
of the medical service at the compare
tivelv small cost of $4,000 in addl-
tional salaries. Among his recommen-
dations are centralizing the control OF
ali medical service in the hands Of

stardardizing treatment, RECORDS ana
The general sanitary supervision o.
nenal institutions, the examination OF
every inmate on admission and the or
panization of the staff IN grades OF
service 10 induce physicians to special

He urges. further, the establishment
Of a central hospital for the Depart

BlackwelPs Island, and the develop

the treatment Of tuberculosis and drug
cases The establishment of hospital

peal for peace and war on the Demo-
cratic administration furnished the in

Kansas, and others.
Mrs Emmeline Pethick Lawrence,
the English social worker and nom
militant. made strong plea for peace,
i'm which she urged the necessity of a
worldwide movement for constructive
peace.
A motion was unanimously adopted
that "the slogan of the woman's move
ment shall be to carry on campaign
throughout the states which VIII direct
nublic opinion and organize it in such
a way that il viii bring pressure TO
hear upon the governments who must
eventually determine the conditions Of
peace: that the governments OF all
civilized nations reinforce the democ-
racies of the world by admitting the
mother-half Of the human race TO ar
ticulate citizenship. and to construct
some machinery by which foreign pol
icy can be Influenced by democratic
