Frequently Heard
Numbers Offered
To Concertgoers
Orchestral Performances of
Same Compositions Posi-
bly, Due to So Many Or
CARNATIONS Visiting Here

In view of the multiplicity of orches-
eral concerts, and possibly the paucity
OF material for them (though that
point is open to argument), it is no
wonder that there is much repetition
OF pieces on the programs Of the local
and visiting organizations. Much in
genuity would have to be exercised to
prevent this, and, also possibly, some
pressure to bring the minds of con-
ductors into agreement. Mr.. Monteux
proclaims IN large type upon his bill
boards that the programs of his Thurs
day evening and Saturday afternoon
concerts differ from each other. So
they do, They also differ from the
programs put forward few days be-
fore the concerts. Sometimes the
reasons for a change are obvious-a
work has but recently been performed
by another organization and it is de-
sirable to avoid repetition or invite
comparison.
But since so many orchestras are
asking for patronage. it might be well
to let the public choose what it wants
TO hear and hear that, and not some
thing else when the concert comes. A
case in point: there may have been
some people in last Thursday nights
audience who were curious to hear
Cyril Scott's 1.-TWO Passacaglias"; they
were denied the privilege. There may
have been some in yesterday after
noon's audience who, having heard the
pieces when they were played here re-
Gently by the Philadelphia Orchestra,
did not want to hear them again; they
were compelled to hear them or walk
out of the hall after Dvorak's second
symphony had opened the concert.
There was also q substitution of Wag-
ner's "Tannhauser" overture for his
"Faust" (if the house bill was followed)
and the middle number of the scheme
was Roger Ducasse's "Suite Franchise

East Side Children Rejoice
At Retaining Miniature Zoo
Vivarium i'm Washington Irving High School
Proves Source of Delight and instruction to
Thousands; Teachers Tell of Many Benefits

One of the seanty glimmers of JOY
that infrequently enough stray into
the lives of the little East Siders has
come very near to being snuffed out
by the action of the Board of Educa-
tion. The death warrant of the vivar-
ium at Washington Irving High School
was practically read when q petition
saved the day,
For another year at least the animals
will flourish in their cages while the
children poke over them and feed them
with nuts. The vivarium is a green
spot in any educational system, 1t is
a pleasant place where cube roots and
European history may be temporarily
forgotten in the joy Of studying things
that grow and breathe. 1t is relaxa-
tion for the overtaxed mind Of the
average youngster and the strongest
argument in its favor is the develop,
ment of humanitarian instincts. This,
| at least, is what its protagonists assert.
And they are to be found in all the
schools that send children to Wash
ington Irving High School for natural
history lectures and a study of animals
from the life.
Nature study extension work was
begun at this school seven years ago.
1T has been growing ever since. Its
unique feature is miniature zoo
where real animals, and not the stuffed
efigies of most departments of the
kind, are to be found. They are loaned
by the Geological Society and ale the
babes and cousins and grand children
/ Of the animals out in Bronx Park. 1t
may seem incredible, but there are
plenty of children in New York who
never get further east than Third Ave
nue. and the vivarium to them is a
wonderland beyond description
| Its primary function, of course, is
for biological study on the part of the
students of the school that houses it
But it renders community service to
the neighboring elementary schools
which send children in groups of eighty
to see the animals and study. their
habits. They come at the rate of 800 q
week. In addition, there are five audi
torium lectures during the term, at

Assets OF Shonts

According to figures presented in the

Children's Concert Pleasing

Readings from Shakespeare Mid
summer Nights Dream" by David Bis
pham, with the incidental music COM
posed by Mendelssohn, made up the
program of the Childrens Symphony
Concert given at Aeolian Hall yester-
day morning. 1t was one of the most
elaborate programs that the Symphony
Society, under Mr.. Damroschs direc-
ton, has yet offered in this series, and
was one that had a previous hearing
in December at one of the regular sub
scription concerts of the society.
The large audience present seemed
20 find both Mendelssohn's dainty
music and Mr.. Bispham's contagious
humor much to its liking Rachel
Morton Harris, soprano; Ada Tyrone
mezzo-soprano, and chorus of WON

vivariun,, no one jumped for so much
as half an hour. A wistfu little Italian
girl, who had never been known to
smile in her short school career and
whose only knowledge of animal life
was the stray cat and pinched-looking
dog of the slums, came out of the lee
ture room beaming. A new world had
been opened to her wondering eyes.
She was asked what pleased her most
OF all.
"Tho monkey and the teacher" was
the prompt reply.
The chairman of the biology depart
ment at Washington Irving High School
speaks of its functions in the follow
ing terms:
'The vivarium offers place in which
to keep living animals, and we find iv-
ing animals essential in a study of
biology. There are nearly 1900 stu
dents of biology at this school. On
| account Of their double session it is
living animals in the Geological Gar
den. The establishment of vivarium
, in a high school was marked as an
advance in school equipment. This
vivarium has more than justified it's
expense and continues to do So"
The modern language and art depart
ments correlate much of their work
with the material offered in the viva
rum. They gain inspiration from it
for their study Of composition, conver-
sation, color and form.
Miss Knox, a teacher OF Public
School Is, says of 1T:
These East Side children cannot get
too much instruction in nature study
of all kinds. Children love living
things The lizards, squirrel. raccoon
and monkey have not been forgotten by
our pupils, and this frst-hand knowl-
edge makes them intelligent readers.
1 think it would be a tragedy to have
the nature work of Washington Irving
taken away rom the children of the
East Side" ..,--
Miss Rose Davidson, of Public School
126, says:
"The great majority Of the children
in this school have no opportunity of
visiting either Bronx Park or Central
| Park. Their outings are confined to
places within walking distance Of their
own homes, and Washington Irving
High School vivarium gives them prac-
| tically their only opportunity of be-
coming acquainted with live animals"
Aside from its educational value it
| is the hungry heart of the slum child
that would feel the passing of the
vivarium. There the monkeys and the
white mice, the rabbits, guinea pigs,
goldfish, foxes, raccoons and song birds
disport themselves for the benefit of
the little boys and girls who peep in
quisitively at them. And every teacher
who has watched their eager fig
ures clustered around the cages says,
Long live the vivariun."

The problem Of stopping guests from

banquet rooms of New York hotels was
informally discussed by leading hotel
men yesterday during the luncheon
given for Harry Moir. Chicago hotel
man, at the Hotel Ambassador
"The practice of carrying liquor into
hotels not only jeopardizes the welfare
Of the guest, but has a demoralizing
effect upon the hotel" declared Edward

Hotal. n
Mr. Tierney said that the discussion
had been informal and that no steps
had been taken as yet. Manager
Sweeney of the Commodore said last

cussed and that some action might be

acter were blended in him in such

mo man could have been more

him was in the nature of a sacred
trust and he was true to it to the
end. Devoting the active years
of his life to education, the good
he accomplished cannot be measur
ed. It's influence will be felt
down through the years. He was
every inch a citizen and a man
and thousands of fine young men
