CHILDREN NEGLECTING SCHOOL J < There seems to be a tremendous | number .jjI absentees from school among the children of this city and £ West Cape May. This is the report ■ 1 of a lady whose busines&~it has been for several days or weeks to visit various homes. *"~She was so im- 1 ' pressed by the numerous children of • ' school age which 'she found at home or on the street during school hours that she thought there could be no compulsory law 1n this state. When informed that there was one and that its provisions were quite drastic she i was much surprised. When it was further explained that every day of | absence from school of any child of , school age, was costing the district 14 cents, her amazement was very great that there should be still indifference about the enforcement of the law. The big consideration in many parts of the country is that patriotism alone should be a sufficient , ' incentive for the strict enforcement of ■ the law, for it is through the public 1 schools primarily that the American- 1 ization of home and foreign children is to be achieved and unless the chil- , 1 dree are Americanized, the next gen- t eration of men and women will be a r --neee to the stability of the country , a d to its liberty of the people. \j Hie great hordes of foreigners I which are apt to come to this country 1 as rapidly as ships can carry them 1 in order to escape the difficult con- I ditions in Europe, makes it incraes- , ing important that the laws regard- I ing attendance be strictly enforced in ] __ order that the public schools may 1 function at 100% of their powers and facilities in developing future Amer- ( ican citizens who shall be 100% pa- 1 triots. 1

,| CAPE MAY COUNTY j MOSQUITO EXTERMINATION J ■ J - The fiscal year ending October 31st, I 1920, at its commencement, presented a serious problem. | Nearly all the ditches previously I made had been blocked by the severe I storm tides of the early spring, mak,1 ing it necessary to use a large amount of the appropriation for cleaning and repairing, reducing the amount for new work in no small proportion. Early in July the cleaning was done and work then proceeded toward construction of new ditches. This was comprehended in: , Sea Isle City. 2,640 feet; Anglesea, 6,630 feet; Sounds Meadows, Stone.' and Court House districts,! 100,000 feet; and Green Creek, 8,' 81 feet; in alt, 117.451 feet. 100,000 feet due by machine at 2'.i cents per foot and 17,451 feet by hand at cents per foot. Total cost being $3,110.79. !

Peihaps all of them '• j are not true but a large percentage of 1 them are. The truth often reaches the public because of a falling out on ' 4 the part of some of the principals. d The point* we desire to bring out " however, is that in every instance of either sort of bribery the taxpayer h pays the bill. e — loo if here: i- When you have acquired that well fed feeling on Turkey Day you want c to be entertained.

I COMMUNICATION 1 — I Editor Star and Wave, I Pf*Z-SiK_ ' The enclosed clippings are from the ■ I Cleveland newspapers. News that might probably interest the readers of : your paper, many of whom have learned to know Mr. Ferrara through > f his connection with the Ferrara Quar- ■ tette, employed at the Liberty thfe : i past summer. __ i Mr. Ferrara, who for a number of ■ years occupied one of the first chairs i with the Philadelphia Orchestra, left i to go with the Cleveland Orchestra of 1 some 106- pieces, as Assistant Coni certm aster. Evidently the people of Cleveland realize they have a wonderi ful musician in their midst, i It will be our pleasure to have Mr.. . Ferrara make his appearance at the i Liberty on the evening of Wednesday, ' November 24th, during our Anniver- ■ sary Week, when we have arranged j for a musical treat for our patrons j each night in the week. We are desirous of giving the folks a musical treat unusual for this season of the I year. Yours very truly, Kar| A. Suelke. : Mr. Ferrara, the soloist, gave an ex- ' ceii^.i account. of himself with Max Bnich's G minor concerto for the vioI lin. He produces a warm, flowing tone, and while one. might admire his technique for many difficulties very beautifully performed, it seems pre- ■ ferable to admire his musicianship which is at once apparent to all who ' hear him. He is a definite acquis- ; tion to the music colony of Cleveland. | Antonio Ferrara, the newly acquired assistant concertmaster, was I

beard to successful advantage in Bruch's popular violin concerto. That this artist' is an acquisition to ' kbe orchestra goes without saying. While his tone is not overly big and : vibrant, which made it difficult to t compete with.. the orchestral climaxes, r it nevertheless was of such pure and : limpid quality as gave to his playing i the glamour of refined artistry. As ■ encore he played a "Perpetual Motion" ravith scintillating technic and clarity of tone. Ferrara has viohnistic r talent plus, i .
