Encourages Study of War
In Washington Schools

Commenting upon the order by Phila-
delphia school authorities prohibiting
teachers from even mentioning in their
classes news of the European war, Su-
perintendent Ernest l. Thurston said
today that every encouragement should
be given Washington pupils to study
the great history events.
American teachers can make the
European war a means, either of widen
ing sympathies and enlarging concep-
tions of national life in relation to civil
lization.' he said. "or they may allow
it to strengthen prejudices and increase
race antagonisms.
"Our teachers are thoroughly quail
fled" he continued. ito exercise a most
sensitive control Of feelings and of at
titudes of mind of their pupils with a
view to expanding thought"

THE DRAGONS CLAW
SCORES At PREMIERE
Production Of Austin Strong's
Play Warmly Received by
New National Audience.

The suggestion of a play by an un-
/ usually capable cast Of players. COM
pletely overshadowed by the tense
dramatic situations of an international
! war. produced in manner that has
seldom been equaled. This is what
Henry Miller made for KIaw and Err
! 1anger out of Austin Strong's newest
effort, The Dragons Claw" and pre-
! sented for its premiere last night TO
! inaugurate the new theatrical season at
the New National Theater. From the
applause which began with the rise Of
the curtain on the first act. and gather
ed such volume as to require curtain
call after curtain call and speeches by
the author and producer at the conclu-
sion Of the second act. the piece would
appear to have struck popular fancy.
Whatever the playwright may have in
tended 1t to be. the big note struck by
THE Dragons Claw" is the overpow-
ering crescendo of war At the present
time there Is nothing that has such an
appeal for people OF all classes and
c-eeds.
Theme Arouse Emotions.
There have been few plays pro-
duced that touch so deeply the all
varying emotions aroused by the war
theme. For this reason there is every
reason to believe that when the play is
transferred to the New Amsterdam
Theater. in New York. next week 1t
will meet with as great reception as
was given 1t last night.
The story of the play concerns the
eternal Triangle with which almost
every great dramatist has tried Ills
skill. A fortune suddenly coming to a
wife forms the wedge that starts a
breach of misunderstanding with a hus-
band much absorbed in his work. An
old sweetheart takes advantage Of the
situation without scruple and widens
the breach. The pair are brought to-
gether again when war exposes ene
villain and brings into strong relief the
great qualities Of the husband and wife.
The war in this case Is the Boxer up
rising in China. In his visualization of
what the people who were besieged In
the legations were compelled to under
go Mr. Miller has not only produced
a wonderful spectacle, but has really
made a contribution to pictorial his
tory, as very few people in this country
realize what that heroic band faced In
those hot summer days in 1900.
Complete In Detail.
The three acts OF the play were most
complete in detail and local color. The
first act, the garden of the home of
Mrs. Deering. the wife in the case, pro-
voked applause as soon as the raising
of the curtain revealed the beauty of
the setting Persons acquainted with
the Oriental atmosphere declare that
Mr.. Miller has reproduced it wonder

Junior League Training Debutantes

Accomplishments in Three

More than sixty of Washington S

spite of his hardness and of his reso-

into his heart. The little creature
was singularly like his daughter, as
she had ben at that age. He could
picture Bessie perfectly in his minds
eye when she was four. He used to
sit out there on the same porch,
smoking his pipe and listening to her
childish prattle; but how different
had been his thoughts then! How
high his hopes had been! Bessie was
his first-born; there had been a boy,
but he had died and all his pride had
centered in the girl after his sons
death.

Awakening Of Church People
Help to Better Condition
Higher Call to Service Being Felt Among Harrisburg Con-
gregations; Many Revivals Are Now On

The season of revival and evange-
listic services in the city churches.
which is now well under way. should
this year have a different meaning
than in any other year, in the opinion
of a prominent church worker.
"A higher call for service has been
felt among the church people of the
city during the past year" this man
said yesterday. Movements for the
advancement of Christ's kingdom have
been started with enthusiasm, which
is carrying them onward for the bet
terment of conditions of the city"
Attention was called to the fact
that the chuches have revived the old
federation forming a civic council,
which is to enlist churches and church
workers in the cause of civic righteous
ness. He spoke of the work of the
Allison Hill Mems Christian Associa-
ton, which is bringing a religious in
fluence into the lives of many men
who have been Indifferent The no.
license campaign started by the Wom-
ans Christian Temperance Union with
more seeming chance than ever was
taken as another encouraging feature.
"AH of these things point out TO
me-" he said, "a growing interest in
church work and a change of feeling
among the scoffers and the Indifferent
which should make the 'Go-to-church
Sunday in March a great success. The
revival services now in the churches
seem to indicate a greater Christian
enthusiasm than has been shown in
years.

THEY OFTEN GIVE EVIL IDEAS
Plain Remarks on the Subject by
the Chief Prober of
lncendiarism

State Fire Marshal Joseph L. Bald
win has called upon the producers
of moving picture films and the mar :
ayers of movie" show places to re-
fuse to make any displays of films
which contain views of firebugs at
work or which have any suggestions
of incendiarism. He says the idea is
bad and as much care should be
shown in excluding such films as
those which suggest robbery or mur-
der.
The advancement in methods of
educating the public in subjects in
which they are interested is mani
tested by the great number of moving
picture exhibits now used pertaining
to health. safety. agricultural inn
provement and in the crusade being
made for fire prevention" said he to-
day. "The latter is a topic that is
of equal Importance to a community
as is its health, as it means above ALL
cleanliness. carefulness and not only
the preservation of property, but
also the prevention of loss of life
Moving pictures amuse. educate and
interest the public and are growing
more and more in use and care should
be insisted upon that in their produc-
ton no subject be permitted that will
appeal to the evil minded. Promoters
should not be allowed to produce or
display any picture showing the in
cendiary about to set off any device
to cause fire in building or to
make display of any of the various
means known to be used by firebugs
Such pictures appeal to children and
the INSCRIPTIONS, as everyone
knows. and the ideas depicted should
not have anything harmful"
