Institute was begun after devotional,
by Superintendent Turnipseed reading
of the new attendance law. following
which the attendance officer endeavor-
ed to place responsibilities of both
teacher and attendance officer on the
successful enforcement of the law.
The 1920 attendance law is worthy
piece of legislation and we'll deserved
the support of every member of every
community. No, parent or guardian
should bring upon themselves prose-
cution for keeping their children out
of school.
Immediately preceding recess Mr..
King gave an excellent talk on the
Teaching of English"
After intermission the Instructor
made an address dealing with teach
ing in the high school showing how
to overcome some of the many difficult
ties arising there. Mr.. King put much
emphasis upon the Importance of re-
porting system in high school.
County Judge Purnell was in the in
stitute this morning and was an
nounced as friend of the teachers.
He made an urgent plea for the aid
of the teachers in raising as much as
$500 for buying an automobile costing
over 1887 for the county nurse.
In the afternoon session Mr.. King
talked on the subject what Relation
the School Bears the County. the State
and the Nation
The Institute closed with an unsur-
passed record for attendance, thus be-
speaking unusual appreciation of Supt.
w. P. King as an institute instructor,
and the high regard in which County
Superintendent Turnipseed is held by
his teachers.

United Lyceum Bureau booked with
the Washington Consolidated School a

The Connecting Link

Gone very practical argument is
that most of the scrubwomen for
these big buildings and some of the
porters and other workers come from
that neighborhood. In these days
many firms spend large amounts of
money keeping the members of their
forces fit. They offer certain kinds
Of insurance and give physical ex-
aminations; some provide medical
care for their employees. Well, an
immediate appeal is made to the men
in those firms when they realize that
all their work for keeping their peo-
pie in condition may be completely
undone through the i'll health and
uncleanliness Of these people who
take care Of the offices. In spite of
the fact that a purely humanitarian
appeal should have strong effect,

So the work Of the organization
gradually has taken hold of the peo-
pie in the district and they them
selves are helping with the task.
The section ccfered by the associ-
alton is geographically that from
the North River to Broadway, from
the Battery to Vesey Street. Prac-
tically all Of the tenements are on
Washington Street. Fifteen hun
dred families, or about 5000 per-
sons, are reached through the work
of the association.
Conditions in the tenements. most
of which are owned by absentee
landlords, were nspeakably bad six
or seven years ago. Refuse usually
was thrown out Of the windows. The
/ tenements had been allowed to run
down. Hall sinks were the breeding
places for disease, and broken. lit
tered stalrWays were a fine field for
accidents. Moreover, the rooms were
overcrowded, whole families and a
boarder or two often sleeping in the
same room.
The nationalities that predominant
are Polish, Syrian and Slavic, with a
small percentage each of Irish.
Scotch and English. In a complete
survey. however, it was found that
twenty-siX nationalities were repre-
sented.

~ YER on the West Side, down
Z d where. the piers begin, there
~ is a district which few New
Workers know exists and
where sightseers never penetrate. 1t
borders the richest neighborhood in
the world. Wall Street, the home of
high finance, where many of the
vealthiest men Of this country and
others spend their working days.
For years these men, absorbed in
their splendid game of big business,
we're unconscious that their very
humble neighbors existed. Even
after various other communities
awakened to the social value of being
% certain extent their more un-
iortunate brothers keepers, Wall
Street ignored its needy neighbor.
VAL Streets wife was looking after
he sick babies in this or that uptown
district and Americanizing those
who need it, and probably Mr.. Wall
Street believed he was doing his
duty by furnishing the money for
Welfare work uptown or on the East
Side.

A New Phrase Born

1t was brought home to these
brokers and bankers that if any one
was going to help clean up this
neighborhood it would have to be
themselves. Thus another graphic
phase was added into the dictionary
of New York neighborhoods, and the
slums along Washington Street be-
came Wall Streets Backyard" This
phrase is offensive to the people
who live in the tenements, and they
bristle whenever it is mentioned.
Nevertheless, they might remember
how important and how much priced
q backyard really is. A front lawn
is for the neighbors, but it is the
backyard that is nearest it's owners
heart.
And SO the business men have be-
gun to be proud of their backyard" i"
The Improvement in conditions and
the decrease in the death rate of
babies are the work Of the Bowling
Green Neighborhood Association,
through which the men of Wall
Street have worked to clean up the
district. The views of the business
men upon why they undertook the
work and why they will keep it going
are an interesting commentary on
modern business.

it must be admitted that Mr.. AS
quith, the Premier at that time, and
who is of my political belief, made
very little effort to check operations
in the north Of ireland that were
plainly antagonistic to law and or
der.
when the British government
failed to check the shipment OF am
nunition and arms to the north six
years ago and failed even to make
serious attenp pt to suppress the in
surreetion, they gave the National
lists in the south and west Of Ire
land the excuse to employ the same
tactics later ON
Tine League Of Nations9'
This suggestion brought another
soft smile to the placid countenance
Of the London critic.
Mr.. Archer and the League

gauged by the things we learn in
England, seems so pronounced
against the President and the
league that I don't want to show
lack Of tact by getting on the wrong
side of American sentiment"
Mr.. Archer added:

entitled to the privilege of holding
aloof from future European entan-
clements, but it is my guess that
she won't do it."

and offered it to Mr. Ames. Mr..
Ames read the play and accepted it,
and here / am to see what we shall
see."
A possible explanation of Mr.
Archer's long delay in playmaking
on his own account may be found in
the innumerable translations Of
plays which he has made into Eng
lish from foreign languages. As
the greatest mentor among London
dramatic critics Mr.. Archer, in the
early '90s, decided that London
should get acquainted with Mr.. b.
sen, the eminent Norwegian, and he
undertook to translate the better of
the Ibsen plays. He had assistance
IN several Of these translations, but
the bulk Of the work he did along
The Ibsen plays, he says, were ia
vorably received in London, al.
though none Of the London presen-
tations, he admits, met with the sue
cess accorded the Ibsen perform
ances of Nazimova in this country.
Mr Archer's work in translations
extended into many fields. He put
several of the Maeterlinck plays into
English for London presentation,
and he also has translated other
works from the French, as we'll as
plays from the German.
Many Irons in the Fire
All the while he was performing
| these laborious tasks of making for
eign plays fit the English tongue
Mr.. Archer was following his daily
routine as dramatic critic for a Lon
don newspaper; was writing spe
cial articles for the magazines; was
writing political essays now ana
then from the standpoint Of Lib
eral-and he is an ardent one-anet
occasionally turning out book OF
travel or technical works on the
drama.

service as writer and traveller

but now engaged in theatricals that
produce profit, who suggested that
Mr.. Archer was due to arrive in
America, and Mr. Lyons cautiously
unfolded the secret that William
Archer, "the greatest mentor among
the dramatic critics of our day." had
written a play, which is to be pro-
duced by Mr.. Ames as soon as the
people Of the United States def
nitely decide whether it is to be
Harding or Cox for a years
residence in the we'll known White
House.
His First Play
1t was Mr.. Archer, later, at the
Hotel Pennsylvania, who let the
black cat cut of the bag when he
said that this play, with the scenes
laid in an imaginary province Of
India, is his very first play, an as
tonishing revelation when you con-
slider that Mr. Archer has been writ
ing on things dramatic for more
than forty years, and that one of
his best works, "Play-Making,' is
regarded as a textbook for play
builders and the last word in the
rules for writing the perfect drama.
If Mr.. Archer has reviewed, in
mis- professional capacity as critic,
one play he has reviewed 5000, and
he has written on every phase of
the drama. He is one of London's
greatest authorities and SO acknowl-
edged by every one over there who
is at all worth while in the theater,
vet this Forthcoming production is
to be Mr.. Archer's very first effort
as a dramatist on his own account.
a fact remarkable when you are
told that Mr.. Archer is sixty-fouf
years old.

me after / had spent six months IN
India" he said, "and drew the
principal character with Henry lrv-
ing in mind. Mr.. Irving died, so

Gala Days
In way the association is bring
ing the advantages Of small town
life to these families in Washington
Street. They have clubs and gala
days all their own. A Mr.. Morgan
gives an annual May day party
which is big event. The children
have their outings in the country.
One day, when the circus was at
Madison Square Garden, the chill
dren were loaded onto trucks and
taken to the circus. The young men
and women have dances at the as
sembly rooms, in the neighborhood
house, and their parents have lodges.
The business men are keeping up
their support of the association. The
services offered, such as the dental
clinic, for instance, make nominal
charge (tooth pulling being 10 cents,
they say), and the idea is not to
make the people of the district too
dependent. In place Of the large
subscriptions made when the asso-
citation was started, the directors
are aiming at a regular small sub
scription from as many of the Wall
Street men as Will appreciate what
