Mary Garden in ''Thais'' at Dies
MIOines, April 18th.

Read what ne Chicago Record
Herald has to say about Mary Gar
dens "Thais,' as given in Chicago
on December 10th, last:
$50 great was the attractive power
of Massenet's 'Thais," and Mary
| Garden that every seat in the audi
forum was occupied when that opera
was presented by the Chicago Grand
| Opera Co. last night"
The following are some interest
ing facts and figures showing the
enormous cost of operating the Chi
cago Grand Opera Co., who will give
a performance in Des Moines on
April 10, with Mary Garden in
That's"
The Chicago Grand Opera Com
pany was incorporated four years
ago with capital of 100000 to
establish an operate organization
for the citizens of Chicago and vicin-
ity that should be of the highest ar
tistic merit The first year the COM
pany experienced heavy loss but
incidentally learned great deal
about the business, and has for the
past three seasons managed to make
it self-sustaining, something sur
prising and beyond example.
When the Chicago company was
organized, it was to cater to Chicago
only, but an early union with Phila-
| delphia aroused enthusiasm in other
cities who began to request its SER
vices; it now touches from New York
to San Francisco and the season is
now eight months in duration. Dur
| ing the past two years Chicago has
had ten weeks, Philadelphia eight,
during which period weekly perfor-
mances were given at the Metropoli
tan Opera House, New York, on
Tuesday nights, and in Baltimore on
Friday nights and occasional per-
formances in Washington, D.. C.
In addition to these regular sea-
sons in the above cities, the Chicago
Grand Opera company makes trans
| continental tour of ten weeks. Last
year this tour was in many points
unique; first in carrying out the rep
ertoire as originally arranged; sec
ondly, without loss of time or
single performance, and finally, the
business was conducted and conclud-
ed without loss. AS the same high
standard of efficiency will be realized
the above facts will be true concern
ing this years tour.
Last year this remarkable tour
covered over ten thousand miles, at
an expense of $4,000 for fares, was
launched at the Metropolitan Opera
House in New York and concluded
with final performance at the same
place on May 18th, several months
later.
The cost Of operating the Chicago
Grand Opera company is approx
mately. $4,000 per week, for per-
Tod of twenty-six weeks brings total
OF over $1,50O,000. The books Of the
season just closed show that the re-
ceipts are equal to the expenses.

or of Junior Civic Leagues may help
to obviate this difficulty. Through
these organizations a division OF la
Dor may be effected, by means of
which the necessary attention may be
given the attempted improvements,
without otertaxing any member of
the school. In towns, the efforts of
the Junior Civic League need not be
confined to identifying the school
premises, but may be extended to
the vacant lots, and parkings. Ettic-
lent leadership is the first essential
of success in this undertaking. in
town or country. The teacher, who
teaches in her home, school can we'll
afford to assume leadership in such
movement. In some instances the
leadership can be safely entrusted
with an older pupil of the school
Often it may be necessary to secure
leader entirely outside the school,
Where it is possible to do this, it may
prove very advantageous in that it
encourages the cooperation of home
Clubs will be glad to assist in the
promotion of a work of this kind.
Aside from the organization of
clubs or leagues, there are some
lines of school-premises improve
ment, the emphasis of which would
serve to promote greater interest
in the work For instance the Guilt
walton of shrubs and plants that will
bloom during the seasons that school
is in session. A crocus, tulip or hy-
acinth bed, (planted in the falD will
yield wealth of beauty in the
spring; A corner of the school yard
planted with violets, and anemones
will furnish material for nature
study in the spring. Lilacs, spirea
and Weigelias usually blossom before
the close of school; while the cult
walton of such plants as asters, Sal
via and cosmos, will insure an album
dance of blossom after school opens
in the fall.
1t is not expected that any one
school will undertake to do all Of
the work suggested in this bulletin.
Many teachers may think of other
things to do, just as appropriate to
the day as any thing mentioned here.
Many schools will close before
April %. 1t is suggested that in

Some suggestions for Arbor Day
observance:
/. Invite parents and friends of
the school to participate in the OBJ
servance of the day.
2. Organize Home and School
Gardening Clubs, or Tin town. Jun
ior Civic Leagues. Write to E. c..
Bishop, Ames, Iowa, for literature.
3. Organize weed clubs. A weed
circular is enclosed. Weeds cost the
state or Iowa annually much more
than hog cholera does.
4. Plant threes and shrubs.
Plant shrubs in clusters, to conceal
out-houses. Vines such as Virginia
Creeper, Wistaria, Crimson Rambler
may be planted by trellises or wire
fencing for the same purpose.
5. Sow lawn grass. There are
few if any school grounds in the
county, that could not be improved
by better stand of grass.
6. Start a wild flower corner.
Violets and Anemones will bloom in
the spring before school closes.
". Make flower beds and borders.
Plant varieties that will bloom in the
fall. Also plant perennials such as
phlox, petunas, pinks.
s. Mend walks, fences, etc. If
cinder or ash pile has accumulated,
use it to make walks, or solid road
bed in front of the school house.

ARBOR DAY.
(Bulletin.)

The board of each school corpora
ton shall cause to be set out and
properly protected twelve or more
shade trees on each school house site
where such trees are not growing.
The county superintendent should
not fail to call the attention of boards
of directors to the provision of this
section. The annual Arbor Day af-
fords a good opportunity for plant
ing trees and otherwise improving
school premises,
Governor Clarke has named April
23rd, as Arbor Day and urges it's
proper observance throughout the
state in the interest of school and
civic improvements.
excellent material for programs, will
be furnished by the State Depart
ment of Education; Arbor Day pro-
grams are good thing as far as they
go. But it is not enough merely to
talk and sing about trees and flow
ers, and the beauty of order and
cleanliness. Let something good be
done as we'll as said on this day.
Teachers and pupils have not felt
encouraged to enter into practical
observances of Arbor Day owing to
the fact that school closes early in
the summer, leaving newly planted
trees and shrubs to die from ne
elect, and gardens and borders to
grow up in weeds. The organization

away enough vegetables to provide
Tor the whole county a year, if they
we're canned and placed upon the mar
ket. Home canned vegetables are far
superior to factory canned goods and
find ready market.
The Girls Canning club in the couu-
ty will be as great a success as the
Boys Corn club has been. 1t will help
Sumter county by helping her girls, 1t
will prove an attraction that will help
to put a quietus on the tendency to
desert the farm and seek employment
in the cities.
Membership in a canning club gives
girl something pleasant to do. 1t
gives her a chance to make her own
spending money and help provide win
ter delicacies for the home. 1t is a
common ocucrrence for a girl member
of such a club to clear a hundred or
more dollars a season with her little
home, canning outfit, besides provid-
ing a supply of vegetables for the win
ter months.
At the recent short course" at the
State College of Agriculture, at Can
ming club girl from north Georgia, told
in her report that she had cleared $135
on one-tsnth of an acre of land. In
addition to her profits the prizes that
were awarded to her made her net in
come from this small tract of land pass
the 5000 mark.
Demonst. alton Agent Wicker and Mr..
Oliver, of thu state department of agri-
culture will make a special effrtt with
in the next tw weeks to oragnize a
canning club for the county. Sumter
county cannot afford to let a little
matter like 5000 stand in her way. The
county board of education is we'll able
to dig down in their Golfers and pay
this small sum to bring an experienced
worker to Sumter county for ten
weeks during the summer months.
The girls of the. county are anxious
to be enrolled in the club. So far they
have asked little or nothing of the
school bcard. Now they ask of them
"a mere pittance. The girls of today
are the housewives and mothers of
tomorrow The girl who is taught
something practical today will not be
gaddng the streets tomorrow. The
county board of education can well af-
ford to appropriate money for this
work. In fact it is a part of the school
work of the county.
