5000 TEACHERS READY
TO BEGIN FALL TERM
200,000 Pupils in 835 Buildings
Start Long Study Season
Wednesday
Philadelphia's army of 5000 teachers haa
been moblllied from the seaahore, moun
tain resorts and elsewhero for the open
ing of the school term on Wednesday.
Many of the young women already have
reported at the schoolhouses, opened the
closets In which the books were stored
for the summer, cleaned the blackboards
and sharpened the pencils that will be
needed tay the city's 200 000 pupils. At
the stroke of 8 o'clock the 88th year of
public education In Philadelphia will have
been Inaugurated.
Exactly &3. buildings will be open, ac
commodating a far larger number of chil
dren than was Intended when they were
erected. Two hundred principals will be
In charge of their administration, while
10 district superintendents will act as
lieutenants In the field for Dr. John P.
Oarber, acting superintendent
William Dick, secretary of the Board of
Education, has compiled a statistical table
showing the' progress of the public school
s)stcm accomplished since 1818. At that
time thero were lx schools, 10 teachers
and 2M3 pupils. The cost of operation
then amounted to (23,049. The cost of
conducting the public school sjstem this
enr will exceed 112000.000.
Public education In Philadelphia costs
tho taxpayers about 852 a ear for each
pupil, excluding the amounts appropriated
for tho erection of schoolhouses. In New
York the cost Is 855, whllo In Los Angelas
It exceeds 871.
Miss Kathcrlne V. Puncheon, prtnclpit
of tho Girls' High 'School, announced to
day that all new pupils at that Institution
will bo enrolled at 1 o'clock, while glrli
who attended classes there In the last
term must report at 9 o'cock.
Children who .have never attended any
public school In this city nnd oro at least
8 years old must be registered on Tues
day. They will report at tho elementary
schools nearest their homes, accompanied
by their parents, prepared to be vacci
nated or bearing certificates that they al
ready have been successfully vaccinated.
MUSIC SEASON
PROMISES MUCH
Regular Orchestral Engage
ments and New Concert
Plans Announced
Announcments have come, almost simul
taneously, from various sources, concern
ing plans for tho approaching musical
Rcunon In Philadelphia. The season
actually begins next Monday evening
with the pcrformnncq of "Princess Pat,"
a musical comeay by Victor Herbert.
From that time until tho middle of Octo
ber It Is likely that musical comedy
will be the only food of tho gods aall
ablo In this city. Amateur productions
of opera which usually usher In the
season have so far not been announced.
Neither are tho detailed plans for grand
opera mudc clear.
On the 15th of October, a Friday after
noon, and undoubtedly at 3 o'clock, the
official opening of the season will be reg
istered bv the uplifted baton of Leopold
Btokowskl. facing the Philadelphia Or
chestra. This year the difficulties of as
sembling tho, plajers will not be so great,
nor so available for publicity, as those of
last year, when a number of the men
were abroad when tho war broke out.
The soloists chosen for this year's con
certs are many, and many of them are of
the greatest. The popularity of separate
concerts. It Is well known, depends much
on the soloists; the true value of the or
chestra Is, of course, a separate thing.
The list, still Incomplete, because It makes
no mention of the soloists for Mahler's
Eighth Symphony, Is:
Marcella 8mbr!eh
Albert Spalding
Yolanda Mero
Thaddeui Itlrh
Krneat Schilling
Mlacrm Elman
Joaet Hofmann
Julia Culp
Harold Dauer
Fmlllo de Oogoria
Percy Qralngrr

Mma. Charlca Catilrr
Leopold Oodowiky

Herman Randby
YtasUy Ueneklraky
Hani Klndltr
Morlz Itonenthal
Nicholas Douty
Tha Mahler Symphony mentioned above
has never been played In this country.
Its performance under Mahler's own di
rection In Vienna was an astounding
musical event, at which, as a promise of
s mpathotlc reading, it may be said that
Mr. Stokowskl was present. The gigantic
lines of the whole work, the employ
ment of chorus throughout the sym
phony, and the numbers employed In the
mere projection of the music to the
auditor, will make this achievement of
Mr. Btokowskl a real triumph. There
will be three performances of the work,
two In the regular series and one extra.
There will be the Inevitable two Wag
nor concerts and the first and last con
certs of the season will be without solo
ist It Is to be noted that a third Bololst
from the orchestra will take his place
this year with MM. Sandby and nich,
namely, Mr. Hans Klndler. The novelties
promised for the season are, by com
parison with those produced last year,
highly Interesting. They aro "A Dance
Ithapsody," by Dellus, the famous Kam-mer-Symphonle
of Arnold Schoenberg,
D'lndy's "Istar," Bcrlablne'a "Poeme
Dlln" and Stravinsky's "Fireworks"
from the works of foreign composers,
and the "Symphony In C minor" of
Daniel Gregory Mason, tho eminent
American composer and teacher.
OTHEB, SYMPHONIES AND CON
CEBTS. The Boston Symphony will make lta
regular trips to this city, playing five
programs and bringing at least three so
loists If memory of last year's announce
ment Is correct, the soloists will be Mmes.
Melba and Farrar and Frltx Krelsler,
From an unofficial source it Is also given
out that Henry Malkln will be one of the
soloists. The eminent personnel of the
orchestra remains virtually the same; the
leader is still Dr. Karl Muck.
Waller Damrosch and the New York
Symphony will play In this city three
times. On one occasion Josef Hofmann
will be the soloist, In one of the concerts
of the grand tour which he Is making
with Mr, Damrosch'a organisation. Pablo
Casals will also play with this orchestra,
and a third soloist, probably Mr. Elman,
will appear. Of tho orchestral plans
nothing haa been said.
The moat gratifying of announcements

the

QUEEN OF BULGARIA PLEADS ,
WITH WOMEN OF U.S. TO TAKE
UP RED CROSS WORK IN WAR
Disappointed That She
Was Forced to Fore
go Trip . Planned to
America Because of
Crisis
By HENRY WOOD
Copyright, 1915. by the United Press. Copyright
In Great Uritaln.
SOFIA, Bulgaria, July 27 (by mall to
Nlsh, to Borne, to London, to Now York).
The woman who Is Queen of Bulgaria
has nn Interesting message for the women
of tho United States. It Is that all who
possibly can should learn tho Bed Cross
work. Queen Eleonora, who by reason of
her work as a nurse on the actual field
of battle In the Russo-Japanese War and
the two Balkan wars, has been called
another Florence Nightingale, talks In a
way familiar to American readers. Her
message Is such as might come from one
of the American women who have won
their place in world affairs And this la
not strange, for Bulgaria sometimes is
called the America of the Balkans. '
The Queen was gracious when the re
quest for an authorized Interview was
presented. Through an Intermediary she
granted it
To appreciate the authority with which
her Majesty speaks her subject Is that
of women's work In wai" American read
ers should know that she spent years of
preparation in the leading hospitals of
Europe, erved then for 14 months at the
head of the Russian Irnperlal Ambulance
In Manchuria during the war with Japan,
prepared further for tho work and served
her own country when the Balkan wars
began. She worked not only In 'the hos
pitals, but under the enemy's Are at the
front The gratitude of tho army and the
nation was supplemented by military dec
orations awarded solely for personal
bravery.
Since the outbreak of the present war
and the strong prospect that Bulgaria may
be drawn Into It, she has worked un
ceasingly to perfect Bulgaria's Red Cross
and hospital facilities.
PRAISES NOBLE WORK.
Her statement follows:
"After her natural role of mother, no
greater, no nobler and no more Important
field of usefulness Is held out to the
woman of today than that of the Red
Cross or Its auxiliary work. Only a
woman who has known personally all the
horrors of modern warfare can grasp
what this field really means. And, strange
as It may seem, the field today Is larger
and more pressing than ever before. With
all the perfected means of wholesale de
struction which modern warfare has at Its
command, the preparations the world over
for caring for the wounded have become
very Inadequate.
"What nobler work can there be than
that of saving human life? No woman
of today who seeks a life of usefulness to
the world should have difficulty in know
ing which way to turn.
"My one wish Is to awaken not only in
Bulgaria, but In all other countries, a
realization on the part of the women of
the role which they have to perform In
that greatest tragedy of human existence
a, war. Wonderful as has been the
preparation ot the Red Cross and auxil
iary societies up id- date, yet the cxlg
enclea of modern warfare have demon
strated that It Is quite Inadequate.
"Here in Bulgaria we are now solving
the problem in the manner In which our
experience has taught us It can best be
met This is by the establishment of
training schools for nurses and the or
ganizing of auxiliary societies to the Red
Cross Why, Indeed, should not every
woman In the world havo an adequate
training for this servicer Is It not a duty
that woman owes to the State, Juat aa
much aa the military service that is ren
dered by the man? But If It Is asking
too much that all women should be pre
paied for this work, there are thousands,
at least, of young women In every country
who can well undertake It For these, all
of the strictness and requirements of the
full Red Cross service are perhaps too
much, but there is nothing to binder a
preparation that will enable them to con
tribute their full share toward the allevia
tion of the horrors of war, should the
moment eyer come when their services
may be nCeded.
"It w,aa largely the desire to .study your
own American sOiools for the training of
nurses that prompted my plana last year
for visiting the United States, but Wnlcli
the clouded international horison at the
time forced me temporarily to abandon.
But xthat U ft dream which I expect yet
to real, and in the meantime, through
aid of rue Red Crow unit, which the
American society haa sent us, ive are
proceeding rapidly with our raorganUa-
-Of course, my plan to jrtudy at first

dally your hospital organizations In re
moto districts far from the big centres
of population, was only one of the ob
jects of my expected visit.
WOULD STUDY CHARITY.
"Next In Importance was to have been
the study of your charity organization
and above all of. your national, State and
municipal care of t'ne unfortunate. Be
ginning as Bulgaria Is, an entirely new
country, we want to establish Its charity
system, which, of course, has become a
recognized duty of every State, on the
most advanced lines that have been de
veloped. These we are certain wo would
find in America. Your blind, your deaf,
your poor, your crippled, your mentally
deficient, we want to khctw hwo you
care for them. True, the number of our
unfortunate is not great, but this duty
of the State toward them we want to
perform in the fullest manner that mod
ern method and science have dovlsed.
"And, then, the third and last great ob
ject of my visit was to havo been tho
study of jour problem of Immigrant.
How that could be of service to Bulgaria
jou perhaps do not see. But our problem
of refugees must be very similar to your
problem of Immigrants. From the dls.
trlcta of Macedonia, Thraqe, Rumania and
Bessarabia, where the Bulgarian popu
lation Is in the majority, but which are
not yet united to the common fatherland,
hundreds ot thousands of our country
men nock to ua to escape the foreign
yoke. They come to us without jnoney,
without work, without trades and with
only the few clothes that cover their
poor bodies. Their arrival, I am sure, Is
analogous to the arrival In America of
thousands of Immigrants, and that Is why
I desire to study your solution of the
problem, and especially of your distri
bution of them throughout the country.
What do you do with theraT Ifow do you
find work for them 7 How do you keep
them from congesting communities that
cannot maintain themT
"Of course, many of our problems hese
have been a direct result of war. LlKe
every other true woman It Is my deepest
hope that tho end of tho present conflict
which Is devastating the European coun
tries of that rreatcst of national assets
the men will give us a long If not a per
manent peace. This I am confident will
be accomplished by the elimination l0 the
readjustment of Europe of the past causes
of war, and especially of that greatest of
all causes, the lack df national unity. The
nations of Europe who have poured out
their own blood in the present conflict for
the attainment of their national Ideals
will. I am confident, not leave unsettled
Buch problems that may at aome future
period again reopen the conflict
"And It U when that period of peace
baa come that I shall hope at laat to visit
America. Do you know that ovary Atner

In the Spring
Have you seen an apple-orchard
In the spring. In tho spring?
An English apple-orchard In the spring?
When the spreading trees are hoary.
With their wealth of promised glory.
And the mavis pipes his story In tho
sprlng7
Hav you walked beneath the blossoms
In the spring, In the spring?
Beneath the apple-blossoms In the spring?
When the pink cascades were falling.
And the silver brooklets brawling
And the cuckoo bird Is call
In the spring?
Have you seen a merry bridal
In the spring. In the springy
In an English apple-country In the
sprlng7
When the bride and maidens wear
Apple-blossoms in their hair,
Apple-blossoms everywhere
In tho spring?
If you have not, then you know not
In the spring. In the sprinir.
Half the color, beauty, wonder of
spring.
the
No sight can I remember
Half so precious, half so tender
As the apple-blossoms render
In the spring.

POLICE CHRONICLE
When all Richmond Is wrapped in elum
ber Bill Melon noses his boat stealthily
out to midstream In the Delaware and
proas ror plunder.
Bill l cadaverous
and cautious. The
black clothes he
wears are awful
black. HI hair is
dark and stringy,
and Bill seems to be
part of the very
night Itself. Bill
hates tho daytlmo
worse than an owl,
and escapes it by
sleeping all day long
In hi dilapidated
boathouse. Ho never
wakes before 5 In the
afternoon And break
fasts when the rest
of Richmond is at
supper.
Like the ghoulish boatmen ot Dickens
fame, he is grouchy and shuns acquaint
ance. But Bill doea not spear for bodies,
which would bring him poor return at
best; and applies all his energy to cor
raling the lumber which drifts up or
down atream. He let it dry out while
he sleep and ell it by the load to itin
erant peddlers who haunt the northeast.
And business is good the whole year
round, for even In the summer the peo
ple buy wood for the winter to be sure
that they will be fortified against dtsas
troua weather.
But Bill and hi boat proved to be a
nuisance around the Allegheny avenue
wharf and vicinity. His smoky lantern
clal y, and aa the lone boatman had a
habit of appearing uddenly In unearthly
spots, contrary to all law of navigation,
many complaint were made ajcainst him
Unfortunately, while he stick to the
water, as far a making a. living is con"
cerned. he has little use for it any other
way. especially a a beverage. In fact
t ha been learned ihat Bill has been
lured to the use of much stronger drink.
