jects. Although definite fig
ures on university and college
students as a whole were not
available it is believed that this
average places Newark gradu-
ates substantially above ma
tional averages.
Students were enrolled for
1,121 subjects that the survey
covered. Of this total, 40 sub
jects were failed, and eight were
incompleted. Twenty-eight stu
dents were found to be failing
one university subject, three
were failing two subjects, and
two were failing three subjects,
the report showed.
Receiving the report and ex-
pressing the need for modern
education to constantly seek
higher standards of accomplish
ments, DR.. Roland w. Jones,
further urged the planning of a
spring festival to recognize ac-
complishments in painting, mu-
sic, debate, drama, and similar
arts.
Board members, assembled
for regular meeting, moved
quickly through the business
session of the evening. High
light of the session was decision
to advertise for sale approx
mately four lots now held by the
school at South Third street,
the location of the old fire de-
partment structure.
Bids for the property will be
received and the property sold

Council DeferS Action on
Extension of Water Mains
Favor Study of Proposed
Service in Fulton School
and Heath Refinery
Areas

With one councilman ab-
sent, an ordinance for the
appropriation of funds for
materials to extend the wa
ter works distribution sys-
tenn to the vicinity of Fulton
school was vetoed under
rules suspension by a mar
row A to 3 margin by the
City Council last Monday
evening. Councilman David
Walker, third ward repre-
sentative, was not present
and voting.
Lead by A. D. Lockwood,
fourth ward councilman, the or
dinance for appropriating
$13,500 for materials to extend
the line to Fulton school was
urged. Although the appropria-
tion was defeated, the council
later approved a motion by Mr..
Lockwood to refer the problem
to the service committee for in
vestigation.
In an otherwise routine meet
ing, the council passed ordi-
nances paving the way for flood
control projects, repealed ordi-
nances governing the fares of
taxicabs, authorized the purchase
of two pickup trucks for the
water works department, and re-
ferred to the law committee
communication from City Solic-
itor Charles B. Holtsberry urg-
ing the revision and recodifica-
tion of city laws.
Lockwood Pushes for
Immediate Appropriation
Pushing for immediate extern
sion of the line into the Fulton
school area, Councilman Lock-
wood chided the body for its
willingness to "spend money to
buy trucks" and it's aversion to
spending money for revenue
/ producing purposes" Twenty
| potential consumers in the area
have agreed in writing to "pay
a substantial part of the cost of
the extension" and to pay a
Especial increased rate for wa
ter furnished" the proposed or
dinance stated. 1t was reported
that consumers will expend $100
each for extension of the lines.
The extension would start at
the corner of Weiant and South
Thirtieth, following South Thir-
tieth to State Route No. 70 to
Fulton school house, then west
approximately 1900 feet.
Councilmen favoring the prof.
ect emphasized that it would
eventually serve as a part of a
loop to furnish the Heath refin-
cry with additional water, and
would not be installed unless ap-
proved as WPA project. The
$13,500 proposed was for mate
rials only. Revenue from users
on the line would be approx
mately $400 a year.
Heath Supply Now
Inadequate, Members Say
Ultimately the tension
would serve as part of a loop to
provide an additional source of
water to the Heath Refinery,
the city's largest single consum-
er which is now, it was asserted,
inadequately served. The loop

Brahms only concerto for the vio-
lin. the crowning achievement Of
master and distinctive among
many compositions written for that
particular instrument. The exacting
demands, technically and emotion
ally, placed upon the player are
partly responsible for its being less
frequently heard.
It was in a spirit of rever-
ence that Mr.. Menuhin approached
his herculean task last night,
task permeated with loving and
patient care audible in every note
throughout the performance, with
the artist revelling in the beauties
of mere sound as unfolded by him.
In his characteristic manner, the
young virtuoso gave free reign to
his left fingers after the vigorous
opening bars, playing the ascend
ing and the descending passages in
a flawless manner, leading up to
the heavenly melody which scars
high above the orchestra. At such
moments Mr.. Menuhin is at his
best, natural feeling for lyricism
being the dominant feature of his
playing. There. was also dash and
vigor in his delivery of the con-
certo, especially satisfying in the
first movement at the end of which
the artist was the recipient of a
Evening star., 1940-01-03

well-earned ovation which lasted
several minutes. The musicianly
"Cadenza" by Enesco deserves to be
mentioned since its objective was
that of tribute to the composer
rather than a mere display of vir-
tuosity. While the deeper note is
as yet not dominating part Of Mr..
Menuhins art, making his playing
of the "Adagio" movement some
what unconvincing, the Hungarian
spirit of the last gave his listeners
another opportunity to admire the
adroitness of his bow and has
rhythmical precision. Admirably
supported by Mr.. Ormandy, who is
an ideal co-partner, being an ac-
complished violinist himself, Mr.
Menuhin and the orchestra gave a
memorable performance of the con-
certo which brought the artist sew
eral recalls.
Besides the Brahms work there
were other features on the program
such as the recent orchestral ar
rangement, by Mr.. Ormandy of two
Bach chorale- -preludes, 20 Mensch,
Bewein Dein' Suende Gross and
"Wacht auf, ruff uns die Stimme.'
Inspired by deeply religious senti-
ment nearly two centuries ago, Bach
wrote these two works to the words
which urged repentance in the first
cob Man, Bewail Thy Grevious
SIM. and awakening in the second
("Sleepers Wake, a Voice Is Call
ing'D. 1t was the sentiment and the
mood that Mr.. Ormandy preferred
to stress in his arrangements, eliml-
mating the snowy effects usually as
sociated with an orchestration. The
audience was quick to recognize the
merits of this version, voicing its
pleasure in cordial applause.
Eugene Zador's music to the bal
let entitled "The Machine Man" has
no modern dissonance in its har-
mony as one might expect from an
up-to-date subject. The plot is
woven around young maiden who
was kidnapped by her fathers land
lord and retained as hostage for the
unpaid rent and young inventor
who constructed a mechanical man
to save his fiancee. The music is
bright and humorous. the "Scherzo"
form of the auto ride and THE
Waltz on the Lawn while conven-
tional are charming and refreshing,
the Dance of the Machines" in
PRODUCING the brass section, is in no
way Objectionable, being devoid OF
noisy devices favored by modernists.
But it was in Debussy's Afternoon
of a Faun" and Ravel's "Daphnis
and Chloe second suite, that the
finesse of Mr.. Ormandy's interpre-
tation could be fully appreciated.
Both readings were distinguished
by noteworthy point and character.
Mr.. Ormandy shared the honors
with his famous orchestra and Mr.
Kincaid, the flutist, who played
such an important part in the pre-
sentation Last night the different
instrumental sections resumed their
customary placement upon the
stage, a placement which was dis
arranged by Mr.. StokoWski at the
last concert.

moment, spider monkeys may be
called streamlined. They have
slender bodies, long arms, thin legs
and a wonderfully flexible tail. The
body is covered with coarse hair,
though it is not woolly.
The round head is crowned with
black or brown hair according to
species, the flesh -colored face en-
hances the blackness of the eye
broWs and brings to your atten-
tion-upon close inspection-the
alertness and intelligent expression
in the eyes. The ears are well
shaped and fairly large.
Much has been written concern
ing the lack of thumb, or at best,
the presence of a mere suggestion
of one. Observing the speed of the
spider monkey as it grasps the
branches of trees or rods, sliding
its hands swiftly over the surface,
holding firmly to its anchor with a
viselike grip. you realize that the
thumb would be in the way.
What is of most interest is the

BY LILLIAN cox ATHEY.

Spider monkeys are lovable and
teachable little animals. They re-
spond almost instantly to your
mood, taking very seriously your
anger, scolding or perhaps grief
caused by their misbehavior. They
cry in a broken hearted manner
that is most appealing, stopping
quickly when you express toward
them a changed state of mind.
This responsiveness has been proven
again and again, which shows they
have a highly developed intelh-
gence.
Several very able scientists have
remarked that the spider monkeys
are the most unusual arboreal ami
mails of the New World known to-
day. In public and private ZOOS
they never fail to have an interested
audience. The spectators recognize
in these little guests the friendli-
ness, curiosity and sociability they
possess in such a high degree.

are needed for a special bit of work

it's owner safely while the activities
are in progress.

Rightly it has been said to be the
most flexible of it's kind in the
world. 1t is never still, always seek
ing something it can bring within
the reach of hand or mouth. Some
of the articles it steals are rather
amazing. The habit of pilfering is
rather strong in spider monkeys
and the plunder is hidden quite
