After-teaching backward children exten sively In the public Schools, Mlsi Mollis Wootjs realized that tho future of the ex ceptional child depended on exceptional treatment. The ultimate decision was the combination of homo and school, which would allow a complete connection and un derstandlng between the two; the ultimate outcome la tho present .boarding school that might bettor oSlI Itself Just plain home. "Of course, I let them run Around as they please," explained MIts Woods, as a tittle towhead peeked In and wanted to know If "ho couldn't please have a cup of tra, too." "Why, that's tho whole scheme of our school Just being happy, Little minds that cannot be reached in the ordinary way can best be reached by Un failing and never-changing love and pa tlence. This does not mean that we do not have lessons. There are fifteen little children gathered from nine widely scat tered Mtates of the Union, and we have discovered In each one a latent Interest In something. Some of the children play the piano, some draw very well ; without ex ception the girls sew and the boys take to practical training. LLLiaBsV I aLHrt' aLHh rp . ,? tit ? L J ? s , . " v. ' 1 N,; i MISS MOLLIE WOODS Head of the school for backward children at Roslyn, Pa. 'The children are very happy. After supper we have stories, talking-machine. music and sometimes we go roler skating over In the gymnasium. We go In town once a week to Shop and have luncheon at one of the hotels. We go to the movies out near our own town, too; then thcie are the tea parties, at which our little girls pour. All of this tends to accustopi our little pupllii to tln manners and methods of the "world that so many of then, seem to dread and feur. Our definite aim Js to make the child as normal In Hctlon as possible." Miss Mollle Woods Is an acknowledged au thority on the treatment of the backwaid child. .She has spent tiexeral terms at the Vlneland Training School devoted to the Interests of those whoso minds hae not developed normally. Kducators such as Dr. J. I". Oarber. Superintendent of Public. honools. Philadelphia; Henry H. Ooddnrd, director of the department of research, Vlneland Training School: J. Wallace Wat lln, director of child study, Department of Publlo Schools, St. Louis. Mo., stand as sponsor for her unusual success. "CRIMEAN SONNETS" HAVE US. PREMIERE Moniuszko's Symphonic .Poem Proves .Bright But, Not Unusual Work The first performance In the United States of "Sonnets from the Crimea." Monl usiko's symphonic poepi for orchestra and chorus, must either have exerted a strong esthetic spelt Isst night or the plight of war-trampled Poland touched the hearts of many persons. The academy held a big audience, In spite of a counter-musical at traction, it Is to bo hoped that the pro ceeds were large, for of the Interested kind liness of the benefit there could be no ques tion. V In fsctr It may be asked whether the Im pulse back of the concert wAs not more frulffut and distinguished than the actual work that was given. Much water has flowed under the bridges of melody since 1SSS, and, Undoubtedly, some pf It has washed away a hit of the composer's repu tation. He hardly seems the red radical described In the program notes. But the form of the symphony Is at least appealing, and the manner In which It was done mer ited prompt and open praise, The chorus. In especial the sopranos and altos, sang with brilliant volume; the men's choirs were scarcely less bright In tone, and It was well conducted. It Is rather a oleaslpg thing, this quaint nd lively program music. Polish scores re not often played here, bo it Is difficult to find a gauge for the "Sonnets." The wrltlng.-ls concise, well-knit and full of color, of a rather obvious sort, to be sure. Perhaps some can find In Its reflective mo ments the tremors of a .soul, musing over the ruins at the khans' city; singing praise to the great mountains of the cpuntry, or pensively considering love and life In tho fourteen lines of Petrarch. For many, the most enjoyable Individual poems are those that paint the sea, first calm, then threat ening, then storm-shaken. Here the broad sweep of sound In the whole orchestra, the rather amusingly simple Imitative effects of the wood and strings, the clever place ment of voice and Instruments, make their point, and make It brilliantly. The remi niscence of Mendelssohn Is more than a fancy. The evening's entertainment also Included excerpts from Monlusiko's opera, "Halka," the overture, a recitative and aria being ung with much power by a well-endowed Polish barytone, Piotr WIzla. and a trio by Mme.

A.Ticach, Pianist, With Fa- mous Ensemble In Beautiful Quintet The empty gallery problem Is evidently not on that concerns the management of a chamber muslo concert. Tho Wlthertpoon Hall IrWlefy was filled last evening at the first of a pair of programs by the Knelsel Quartet I probably the movies may bear the "lama for lhe vacant seats downstnlrs. Mrs. 11. II.

Tho other numbers were Haydn's Quartet In C mnjor, opus 64, for classlo and Tschalkowsky's Quartet In p Major, opus 22, for a romantic composition, Mrs-. Beach fitted admirably Into the dig nified scheme of the Knelsels. Her unaf fected tUfrdrmahco and her naturalness of bearing were rf a piece with the unstudied composure or hr Colleagues, and the effect on the hearers was as being participants In an Intimate conrert In some private salon. Thus environment and' circumstances con summated the Ideal of a chamber music concert. . This quintet of Mrs. Beach's Is n well formed work, of genuine Inspiration In Its thematic Invention, brilliant In Its develop meht, never superficially showy, but always finding the artistic e.tprreslon for the mood. In the second movement, ndaglo esprcsslvo, a full, warm tone moves serenely through the quintet, and In the third, allegro agitato, there Is some graceful music for the second vlolfn. The performance was' exquisite. Mrs. Deach brought surety of touch and unanim ity of feeling thnt matched the virtuoso qualities of her follows. As to these artists, they are. through years of collective play ing, so attuned to each other that the scftlnd Is as If from one noble Instrument. Their ensemble I as near perfection as can be dreamed of for music. The wholeeomeniss and large, fine sanity of "Papa'' Haydn were brought to pass, through the sheer simplicity of the art that conceals art, In n masterful Interpretation which, through Its reticence, gave fleeting vision of the depths. of meaning beneath. Kntlre change of mood marked the Tchal kowsky number. In which for bnce the abid ing melancholy of the penSlve Hlav gave place.
