SCHOOL CHILDREN ENTERTAINED.
In Song and Dance at the Brook Street
School.

Children OF the Brook street school
were seen and heard yesterday after
noon in an entertaining repertoire of
folk dances, reeitations and chorus sing
ing, the program being in charge of the
staff of grade teachers in the school.
More than 200 figured in the entertain
ment, which was presented before large
audiences of parents and other grown
ups. The participants went through their
PAGES twice in the afternoon as two
performances were a part of the little
drive" which teachers and children are
making to boost their piano fund. Par
ents OF the district were very liberal in
their attendance on both occasions and
the results of the first days efforts were
altogether gratifying.
The folk dancing represented num-
Der of nations and the little people &C
quilted themselves most creditably in
some of the more intricate as well as the
simpler figures and formations. Music
for the accompaniments was furnished
by teachers and so pleasing were the
numbers that several encores were called
for. There was variety OF drills, which,
together with the dances, were inter
spersed with Rotations All grades
we're represented in the program and
each Of the teachers had a share in the
work of drilling the children.

Napoleon's First Love.

The little French town of Auxonne
is not associated in the popular mind
with Napoleon; but, as Miss Betham-
Edwards reminds us in "Unfrequented
France" he spent some years of his
cadetship there. 'In. the Saone he
twice narrowly escaped drowning, and
here, too, as narrowly, so the story
runs, marriage with a bourgeoise maid
en- called Manesca. Two ivory counters
bearing this romantic name in Napo-
Icons handwriting enrich the little mu-
seum.''

longer term at practically no pay
does not apply to the case. The Gov
ernment requires as a condition for
admission to the reserve corps a col
lege education or an equivalent in ex-
perience; there is no such condition
upon volunteering as a private.
The Government pays for the edu-
cation of its professional officers at
West Point and Annapolis; it pays
nothing for the education upon which
it conditions commissions in the re-
serve corps. The least that Congress
should do is to pay at the rate pre-
scribed for second lieutenants every
cadet during the three months, or
any part thereof, that he is training.

Champ CIark's Ignorance

If Champ Clark's real reason for
considering conscription needless is
his lately expressed understanding
that the Confederacy fought with
volunteers alone until after Gettys-
burg he should Immediately overhaul
his opinion on the subject. The first
Confederate conscription bill was
enacted April 16. 1862, less than two
months after the inauguration. of
Jefferson Davis and the installation
Of the Confederate government. It
went into effect directly and supplied
the new levies that helped check
Mcclellan on the peninsula in the
following May.
1t is extraordinary that a gentle
man like Mr.. Champ Clark, posing
and acting as a specialist in the af-
fairs of this nation, should display
such needless ignorance and abso-
lutte misinformation as to these
simple facts, which it is his business
to know. We hasten to enlighten
him, deeming it a public duty, and
going as far as the nearest reference
book to make sure of the exact date:
. proceeding which may be strongly
recommended to him for his own and
the country's better government.
After all, it would have been still
more strange had Mr.. Clark held,
against the efficiency of conscription,
an opinion based on a demonstrable
and genuine fact. The facts point
all the other way, throughout the ma
tons history, and particularly
throughout the civil war, in which
conscription was the turning point
from Intellectual armies to irresis-
tible ones. We recommend the facts
to Mr.. Clark, offering the above con-
corning Confederate conscription as
sample. We urge that he familiar
ize himself with them, as his high
office demands. And We feel conf
dent that his sound and normal mind,
once in possession of them, will see
how strongly they support conscrip-
tion.

A Russian La Toilette

The Russian Socialist who at
tempted to attack the American en-
bassy the other day, Nikolai Len
inc, has been fully disclosed as a
German agent. Russian peasants
whom he was attempting to
harangue stopped his mouth with the
cries, "Provocator," Russian agent" "
The chance to lead a counter-revolu-
tion in Russia has disappeared. Nat
urally, being pro-German, he is vent
ing his spleen against the United
States. He is by the same token a
traitor to his own country, now in
alliance with the United States
against common enemy. Unfortu-
nately for Lenine, he does not have
the privilege of licentious and
traitorous speech which membership
in the Russian Duma would afford
him.
