THE CAREER OF ROSA RAISA.

Poverty cannot suppress genius.
Read what a magazine writer says
about Rosa Raisa: Here is fairy
tale from musicland. In the city of
Baelstock, Russia, lived a highly re-
spected Jew. His virtues, however,
did not save him from the fearful po-
groms, SO it happened that across
little Rosa's childhood were cast
long shadows, which were deepened
with the early death of her mother.
And yet through all these trials she
sang and sang as if the world had
depended upon her song for it's good
cheer. Berman, the cantor, nodded
his head wisely every time he heard
the tiny songster, and prophesied,
"some day your songs will thrill the
world" At twelve, the child earned
pittance by instructing other chill
dren in the Russian language. Next
she worked in her cousins dental Of
flee, but he was accused of being a
revolutionist and had to flee. He
finally reached Italy, and there in
time Rosa joined him. She followed
him with her grand total of worldly
riches-a bundle of clothes, and one
loaf of bread. Luck travelled with
Rosa right on to Naples. A wealthy
family gave her monthly allow
ance, SO that she might continue her
musical studies. Then came her
successful Italian debuts, and her
worldwide triumphs.
Last year in two Hippodrome con-
certs, Miss Raisa made her New
York debut in concert, in joint re-
cital with Mr. Rimini, the Italian
baritone.
At the Hippodrome concerts, the
great theatre was packed from stage
to dome, and the door receipts were
$4,000. The New York American
said that she sang little Hebrew
folk song, "Oi Tate," with captivat-
ing archness and drollery, and ELI,
Eili'', with gripping religious fervor
and pathos. These numbers stirred
a tumult of excitement, almost ia
natical, men and women jumping to
their feet in the ecstasy of the mo-
ment. Max Smith, the critic, said
that miss Raisa has been acclaimed
as the greatest living dramatic So
prano, but I am inclined to go even
further, and to assert that her voice
is the most marvellous, the most glor-
ious voice of any kind or character,

The Home news., 1919-12-05

Just a word in time might save untold inconvenience and misunderstanding. A father came lately to the su- perintendent with the com plaint that his children, who live outside the corporation, could not get to school exact ly within the short time which he understood was allotted to them between the opening of the doors and the tardy limit; that they would usually be too early and get cold or wet. or they would be too late and have to remain for time after school. It developed that he had been r1isinformed as to the true state of affairs, and since the conference his children have in no wise suf- fered. This is just an in- stance of what can be done by giving the school a chance.
 We have very little of which to complain thus far along this line, since our pa- irons as a rule have evinced every desire to cooperate with the school authorities, but most cases of the type re- ferred to heretofore are more easily prevented than cured. Threfore we shall cherish the added consciousness of our patrons good will.
 Yours in the interest of our school,

oo,.MON FACTS ABOUT
 A PUBLIC SCHOOL.

The very nature of a pub f. school renders it one of tao 1' most democratic institu- tOns tio V in the world. It can trujv t1TIv be said that where a nubiic school is properly ad, !t :, mpinistered the smallest child in the system secures his Drprv lr right without discrimi- nafion. But oftentimes a mistake or an oversight on inc tl,, part of school officials leads parents to judge to the contrary. It is this point that calls forth this discussion, llm- tied as it must be.
 In the first place the direc- tors, who are almost always representative men of the community, are chosen by the people to administer the gen. eral affairs of the schools. Their positions are purely honorary, and very few of them are ever charged with the misuse of their powers for too often they are not given credit for deserving services rendered absolutely without monetary reward in the in- terest of the community.
 In the next place the di- rectors elect as their execu- tive superintendent, who takes charge of the affairs connected with the daily rou- tine of the schools. In gener- q they hold him responsible for the success or failure of each department under his supervision. He in turn, holds each teacher directly responsible to him.
 With this machinery suc- cessfully in action the direct ors are free to turn their at 'entlon to the larger and more important phases of scnool interests without being compelled ct to give notice to tne small details of the sys- lem, unless circumstances de- nland m,s such in isolated cases. Fl lnls plan has been adopted 1y tE the board of directors of oa sne , MllcCrory M Public Schools, al ana It IS the earnest desire of roe saen member that the patrons lbecognlze bs the advantages to Oe ,t obtained from it.

Dear Aunt Nellie viii answer your

Do you hear from Clarence very
often? | wrote him letter some time
ago but never received any answer. |

in this war. Glad to say that l got
through it, though never saw much

j heard few bullets sing over my
head and some big shells. And got tc

a very comfortable thing to wear.
Don't suppose Carl ever had to 60

act, be seated over Rev. E. Ell. Foster,
Baptist preacher. Two Republicans
joined the Democrats in favoring
Rev. Foster. A caucus of Republican
members was held to try and hold all
in line for Elmer, but it is said that
sixteen refused to be bound by the
ca ucus. The majority report cited
section of article IA of the U. s..
constitution which provides that no
one that has given aid or comfort to
enemies of the country is eligible to
be member of congress or a state
legislature in addition to the fact
that he was honestly elected by Al
votes.
From all indications it now seems
that measure providing that women
may vote for president and vice.
president may be passed during this
session. The bill was engrossed in
the house without opposition and was
placed on the calendar of the senate
despite the adverse report of the
committee.
A measure has been introduced
placing all probate judges in the state
on straight salary. The bill provides
that their salaries shall be from
81, 200 to $4,000 per year, according to
the population Of the county.
Republican members from st. Louis
are bowling lot about crooked
elections in Kansas City, where the
normal Democratic plurality is 10, 900,
but have said nothing about the in
creased Republican plurality in St
Louis. When all votes favor them
there can be no crookedness seems tc
be Republican opinion.
Representative Hostetter and
Gyott, Democratic and Republican
| floor leaders, have joined in the in
production of blanket election bal
lot bill. Should the measure be en-
(. acted all ballots would be on one
sheet and the voter would be re-
quired to place an TX" at the head O
