The mission of the Boston Orchestra
as an impetus to the appreciation of
symphonic music is not to be lost to
the people of New York. That was the
teaching of the concert given in Car
negie Hall last night and it came
through the conducting Of Mr.. Rabaud
The first two concerts left an apprc-
hension that the effect of the obliga
tory organization of the band might
have so seriously impaired its efficiency
that its performances could no longer
serve as a corrective and inspiration
as it had done for many years. But
tne crudities apparent on the first
visit have all but disappeared under
the training of Mr.. Rabaud, and the
admirable qualities which he displayed
as an interpreter justify the patrons
OF the orchestra in looking forward
Eoston with all tho delightful anticipa-
tion which they have inspired for
quarter of century. This is good and
a fit cause for congrat tulationa navto the
committee Of gentlemen who have re-
heved Major Higginson of a heavy
burden and to the music lovers of both
Boston and New York
Mr. Rabaud's programme last night
was made up of three numbers only,

a cOlOrful reproduction of the Spanish
music passed through the alembc of a
Russian who, like others of his fell
lows back to Glinka, the father Of the
school, has liking for Oriental themes
and manner of expression. SO it was
to the symphony that the curiously in
quisitive looked for a real measure OF
the conductors capacities. And the
demonstration was in the highest de-
gree satisfying. The reading was sim

profundties never dreamed of by the
composer, lucid in exposition without
evidence Of the use Of the analytical
scalpel, clear, the funeral march filled
with manly sorrow but never turgid,
the schergo a marvel Of lightness and
grace, happily untroubled by the spirit
which has SO often weighted the music

strone development of the clmaxes.
wholly charming to ear and fancy the
nice adjustment Of dynamic nuances. A
noble performance.

An American Symphony al
Il Concert of ihe Philhar-
monic Society
By II. f. Krehbiel

"A symphony composed by David Stan

Yale University, was the PRINCIPAL
feature fthc concert given in Carne-
gio Hall yesterday afternoon. With
some of Mr.. Smiths music we have
been acquainted for several years.
with an overture or two, string quar-
tette ushcrcd into notice under the
most dignifed of auspices by the Keni-
sci Quartet, and choral work less
auspiciously brought to public notice.
The symphony came to New York au-
diencc rs 3 novelty; it received an CT
fectlve performance under the dircc-
ton of the composer, with heard with
signs of respectful interest, and its
most praiscworthy portion received a
deserved need Of appreciation. Had
one of it's features, Il canzOna for vio-
loncello, which formed what amounted
to an intermezzo in the last movement,
been presented without association
with all that preceded and followed it,
Its reception would have been not only
cordial but enthusiastic; prelude and
postlude, however, were of character
that worked injury to tho full enjoy
ment of it, Mr.. Smith has ideas and a
large command of means for express
ing them Unhappily in this symphony
his capacity for sustained flight seems
small. He flies very much like par
fridge Turing pedestrian away from
her brood; an upward whirr, forward
dash and then tumble, like the conse-
quence of broken wing. In the first
movement of the symphony he main
talns the manner of his discourse only
long enough to gain recognition; then
hrst thematic utterance. which prom
ises we'll, oozes out at the end Of the
tirst period, and thereafter there seems
to be only series of b-if excursions
into varied harmonic and instrumental
helds, with the resort, almost newt
able it would seem in the case of young
men accidentally trained, to imitation
and fughetto. In the slow movement
there was finer melodc invention,
greater coherency and a frmer mainte-
nance of mood, though taste and senti-
ment dropped again with the effort to
provide contrast. Curiosity was piqued
voices which began the finale, but the
music did not soar as we thought it
about to do when the wind instruments
entered to buoy it up, and the acade-
mician soon seized upon it and led it
into dusty paths
Miss Mary Jordan, with opulent
voice: sang two French songs. "The
Nagabonds' and Tnvocation," from
Ernest Bloch's "Poems of Autumn"
and an air from Professor painc's
opera "Azara." Mr.. Bloch's songs are

the excuse for the instrumental accom-
paniment, the text for the expository
discourse by the orchestra This dis
course was full of color and emotional
expression, but since there was no plas-
tic melody in the song to atone fer the
foreign. and therefore, to the many, un-
intelligible text, the songs with all
their merit were "caviare to the gen.
eral." Under Mr. Stransky the orches-

Opera

Puccini's "Manon Lescaut" was the
opera last night at the Metropolitan.
Aside from one artist, the cast was as it
has been of recent years. Nine. Aida
was the Manon, a part in which she is
at her best. She was in excellent voice.
The same can be said for the Das
Grieux of Giovanni Martinelli whose
boyish manner was we'll suited to the
character, and whose voice had never
sounded clearer or richer. Mr. Segu-
rola was amusing as Geronte. and Nine.
Perrin sang the music allotted to her
we'll enough. The only new figure was
the Lescaut of Luigi Montesanto, who
showed an admirable understanding of
the vllany of the part without being
able to give it proper vocal expression.
MIR. Papi conducted with enthusiasm.
"Manon Lescaut" contains most Of
the older Puccini in its pages. 1t is at
times crude in expression. and it does
not give the spirit of the Able Presvost
as does TIE work OF Masenet, but its
hot-bloodcd sincerity is always CRATE

The Fame of Valenciennes

Few towns Of its size have produced
a greater number Of distinguished men
than Valenciennes, and few of it's age
are more disappointing. One may for
give much to the birthplace of Frois-
sart and the brothers Vatican, but
even so one is forced to admit the
justice Of Victor Hugo's pronouncement
that it was "hardly any better than
Cambria" which, to him, was "a prod
ICY of boredom" The thing most stin-
ulating to the imagination in Valen-
ciennes is, or at any rate was, an
eighteenth-century poorhouse of enor-

farthing on every pot of beer drunk

WASHINGTON, Dec. G.-Part of tho

scnolarships to children in elementary

nave the public look upon such scholar

plan is submitted by the children's
bureau tor any community wishing to
inauguratc scholarships. A committee
should be appointed, they say, repre-
sent'ng schools. women's clubs, en-
ployers. social workers and others in
terested in child welfare. The duties
OF the committee would be to raise
money for scholarships, to administer
the scho arshp fund and to hold meet
ings to interest people in scholarship
work.
The administration of scholarship
funds should be in close cooperation
with the schools. In one city the
scholarship plan is financed by pri-
vate organization and administered by
the school office. Parents who would
ordinarily object to taking what they
consider charity are willing to accept
scholarships for their children because
they arc onsidered part of the honors
Of the school.
In Investigating an individual case,
visit the home Of the child. to deter
mine how much should be added to the
family income. The teacher should be
consulted about the kind Of work the
child does in school and the child
should be interviewed to see whether
he is ambitious to continue his studies.
According to the children's bureau,
the average scholarship is SO week.

The back-to- the school drive, the

force now that the war is over. There
no longer will be even the excuse put
up by some manufacturers that child
