to the pressing need of another school to relieve the congestion at Washing ton and Wheeler grade schools. The board had intended to utilize the old High school for this purpose but that building is in use as a pre-vocational school. Five portable buildings are now in use at Wheeler school. A new school building must be provided quicly.
 The board decided to change the text books used in teaching in the night schools to more advanced books now in use In schools elsewhere. Supt. Slawson said one reason for the fall ing off in attendance at these schools was that the primers used in teach ing children were also used in teach ing foreigners English in the night classes. What is needed, he said, are books that teach civics, history. hygiene and proper living conditions at the same time that the pupil learns English. rather than the silly stories which form the text of the books now in use. The board voted to make the change at once.
 The board voted to permit the class of 1892, the first graduating class un- der Principal H. D. Simonds, to change its memorial window from the old High school to the central southern window in the left balcony of the new High school. The work will be done next summer

BRISBANE AND HIS FATHER

Arthur Brisbane, king of yellow Journalism" and the editorial chief of the Hearst publications, was born in Buffalo 52 years ago to-day. = He has served William Randolph Hearst for nearly 20 years, having been em- ployed by the Sun, the Evening Sun' and the World before he took charge of the Evening Journal and amazed the New York public by his "box- car'' headlines and his display editorials.
 MT. Brisbane, who is said to be the highest-salaried newspaper man In the world, is the son of Albert Br1s- bane, who was one Of the pioneer so- cialists of America. The older Br1s- bane was a disciple of Fourier, the French social reformer, whose ideas enjoyed a great vogue about the mlo- dle of the last century. Albert Brfs- bane introduced Fourierism to Amer jeans in his book, '.rhe Social Des- tiny of Man." At first revi1ed and ridicu1ed, he remained true to hls convictions, and at length gained considerable following. For a time he edited a column in the New York Tribune, expounding his views, ana later established in New York an in dependent socialist paper, The Phal- anx, as the organ of Fourierisnn. This publication was later removed to Brook Farm, whose colonists had embraced Fourierism, and it's name was changed to The Harbinger. Bris- bane's success was but temporary, and the decline of Fourierism in America was marked by the famous Greeley controversy.
 Fourierism had little in common with the socialism in vogue to-day except in it's revolt against establish ed conditions. The socialism of Four fer, like that of Simon. was largely speculative, imaginative. and utopian. His disciples-Consfdera and others in France, Hugh Doherty in England, and Albert Brisbane in America-sought to give more practical trend to the somewhat I whimsical ideas of the father of the

He low ed Josephine, though often unfaith- full to her, but she had given him no son to inherit the imperial throne
 Having arrived at that decision. Ma poleon proceeded with his customary ruthlessness. The civil marriage was speedily dissolved. and obsequious bishops found sufficient reasons for abrogating the religious marriage.
 It. was at first Napoleon's plan to wed a Russian princess, and he open ed negotiations with the Emperor Alexander for his marriage to Prin- cess Anna. the Czar's' sister. Tn the meantime Austria and Saxony had thrown out hints that an alliance with the military conqueror of Flu rope would be acceptable. The Czar hesitated in giving hss consent to the

school Brook Farm, at West Rox- bury, near Boston. was the most celebrated practical experiment in Fourierism, and it attracted some or the most brilliant men of the nation. but, like all such experiments, it was short-lived.
 Arthur Brisbane was educated in America, France and Germany, and began his journalistic career -34 years ago to-day, on his eighteenth birth day, when he was engaged as a re- porter on the New York Sun. MT. Brisbane is said to have explained his journalistic methods to company of clergymen by stating that if Jeff fries and Dr. Eliot were in the room, nine-tenths of the ministers would look first towards the pugilist Which may be true-a1though 1t is also probable that the great majority of people would prefer Dr. Eliot as a personal friend and companion.

GIRLS TO BALK
 AT CHAPERONS

Boston, Dec. 12.-Rules regarding chaperons at Radcliffe College are likely to meet with radical change if certain college girls can have their way.
 For years the faculty decreed that no student shall go to the theatre with a man unless there is chaperon; i; that no student shall enter the col lege alone after 10 o'clock-though she may remain away all highland a lot of other such things. Now the students have taken the matter of rules into their own hands and a new set is to be drawn up by the student council.

Brenon IS the screen wizard who has many notanie productions to his credit, among them "A Daughter of the Gods" with An- Snette Kellerman. War Brides" how ever. will always stand forth as his biz triumph in dramatic work.
 Though the story has the world war for its background, there is nothing of ar.tual warfare in 'sWar Brides A trench is shown, but there is no boom siuv of cannon, no spectacular charges of troops. no blood and no wholesale slaughter. But through 1t all there runs the theme of how this great war brought out the inherent mother love Of distraught woman to such an e1- tent that she defied 3 great empire. .@ Mme. Nazimoya is superb in her role of "Joan.'' The limitations or vaudeville in which she first appeared in War Brides" have been swept away in the elaborate production or the piece and her wonderful worth as a tragedienne is developed to US ut- most. She dominates the entire drama, her 4tWOIK AlW1yS SQOSo0SSAAA5 sAASSs 3tistic touch than ranks her among the tragediennes of the modern stage sa Naximova has an excellent support ing company Numbered among them are several who appeared in the orig 3 inal vaudeville production of War Brides, notably Gertrude Berkley, as ifihe mother who gives her four sons to the war; .Nila Mac. i4 her original rols as the sister -in-law of the traFic ss. .Joanr: and Charles Bryant in the rart he created, the husband of "Joan." The remainder of the cast Includes names well known to lovers of the legitimate stage. z War Brides shows the utmost att tention to details. The drama unfolds 7 with the utmost smoothness and in- terest is upheld to the stirring and unusual climax. Tn the climax MT. Brenon has shown genius. It is a real climax that brings home forcibly the moral If the drama-the utter horror of war.
 The presentation of War Brides, ' in addition to the usual vaudeville, will continue today and tomorrow at Polls.
