Three Orphans in Need
OF Home for Christmas

Christmas will be drab affair to
three little New Workers. this year un-
less kind hearts come to the rescue
The children are now in custody of the
State Charities Aid Association, los
East Twenty-second Street. All three
are orphans. The association is hold,
ing them for adoption.
One of the children Is too young to
know the difference between what
Christmas ought to be and what it will
be if this appeal should fail. He is
Morris Bergman, and this is his first
Christmas. Although Morris is only
four months old, he is intelligent
enough to know that something very
nice had happened to him If he were
placed in q comfortable nest with gen.
erous foster parents.
The other two children have reache
the years Of understanding. John
Parker is nine yeaY old, and black
haired Sally Perrin is twelve. Both are
intelligent and know what Christmas
every night, too, and they never fail
to ask that real daddy and a real
mamma be sent to them for Christmas
There is wonderful chance for a
big-hearted bachelor to give. fifteen
year-old Stephen Carr the finest Christ
mas gift that possibly could be imag-
ined, says Miss Sophie Van s. Theis,
superintendent of the association.
Stephen already has been adopted. He
lives upstate, but his foster parents
are not wealthy, and there is no money
for Stephens high school tuition Ste
phen needs funds to pay communication
fares and to buy a few clothes.

Schools of Nation Face
Crisis, Runyon Declares
New Jersey Governor Says Low
Pay for Teachers Endangers
Educational system

TRENTON, N. j., Dec. 6.-Express-
ing fear that 800, 900 New Jersey school
children may be made victims of a
demoralized and broken down educa-
tional SYSTEM" due to underpaid
teachers, Governor Runyon to-day
issued statement calling attention of
the local boards of estimate to 1.-The
gravity of the situation"
New Jersey, he said, faces the imme-
diate prospect of closing schools or
drawing into the teaching profession
a still larger number of those made
quately trained and without special
preparation for the work. Competition
with other states for the service of
teachers appears unavoidable, he said.
The Governor declared the scarcity
of teachers already has caused lower
ing of educational standards and even
the suspension of classes in some
schools. The crisis is not limited to
New Jersey, he stated, but looms as
a menace to the public schools of the
nation. Many teachers have been forced
into other fields by the need to earn a
living wage, he said.
"If our children are to be taught
by incompetent teachers, or are not
to be taught at all, the end of Ameri-
can democracy, as we know it, is in
sight" the Governor declared

Boston Symphony
Concludes Second
Visit of Season
Colorful Suite by Alsatian

The Boston Symphony Orchestra
concluded its second visit to New York
of this season with a concert in Car

were three numbers on the program

The second piece in the list was a
suite composed by Florent Schmitt for
a pantomimic play by Robert d'Hum-
eres entitled LA Tragedie du Salome."
1t was with this composition, played by
the Boston Orchestra on January 10,
1914. that the Alsatian composer was
introduced to a New York audience.

The Tribune's musical reviewer then
that he set it down as far and away

since Debussy's "L'Apres-midi dun
Faune." That impression was confirmed ID
yesterday, though we are again moved
to deplore that music so intimately
associated with scenery and action can
not be given with it's proper pictorial
accompaniment. We are not testing
when we add that performance would
not lose in dignity if the pictures were
of the moving kind.
"rhe Tragedy of Salome" is crowded
with lurid incidents which have been
vividly translated into tones by
Schmitt, who is a Debussy of more
solid substance than his model, and
