EXTENDING THE SEASON A committee lias l.vn appointed under the auspice* of the Cham of Comlheicr. f:.r the - pacific purpose of deliberating ways an.! met of formulating, tentatively at least, plans and programs, with the in view of extending the season in Oeean City. The importance of this committee cannot be overestimate!. It m be said without exaggeration, that the success of other enterprise, n, in process of materialisation, will be largely determined by the drgi of imagination displayed by this committee. The value of imagination, as a quality of civic and social leadersh is gradually becoming more and more recogniied and appreciate, "The dilTerenee between a good business man." said Mr. Babe and a great business man. is one purely of imagination." To which may be a<lded the dictum of Andrew Carnegie, in h address before the alumni of Aberdeen University: "What is termed •genius' in business, is in the last analysis, nothing more or less th. a cultivated imagination. A person may be thoroughly conversant wit the routine of business, thrifty anil industrious, but without the gift . imagination, he or she will travel only slowly, the roaf of success, and by very small paces." Associating the faculty of imagination with business, may to sonic appear a very novel and revolutionary .ioctrine; its association wit*, civic ami social leadership even more startling. Nevertheless it remains true that imagination, the faculty pf bein(, able to anticipate the needs of a city, state, or the nation, to view a project in perspective, and from all angles, and particularly from the viewpoint of the other fellow with his rival interests, is of the veryessence of true statesmanship. * This gift in point of fact, constitutes the prescriptive genius of the Right Hon. David Lloyd George. Prime Minister of Great Britain. There are men in the British Cabinet oT superior executive ability. The . Right Hon. Arthur James Balfour is the greatest parliamentarian since the days of Gladstone. , In foresight however, and inventive imagination, the gift of anlici- _ pating the developement of public opinion, and the needs of the public. David I Jo yd George excels over all. , To a lesser degree of course, this is precisely the quality of states- f maaahip, the committee aforementioned will be called to exercise. In , order to extend the season, until it eventually covers the entire span , of the year, the prospective visitor's needs and ilesires must be the first consideration. , Atlantic City has accomplished the feat. President Suttoa at the f last meeting of the Chamber of Commerce stated, what two prominent hotel proprietors stated in our hearing, that the spring ami late aut- ] Bmn season 1n that city is bringing a far superior elans of ' patronage than even the midsummer, ami "both, particularly the autumn season are proving greater sources of revenue in proportion to the amount . of money expended for the entertainment of the visitors. The new Ocean Front Hotel, together with others which may be induced to operate all the year, will solve the problem of housing the . , guests. The new Country Qub. with its golf course and other forms j of recreation, will eater for a growingiy larger clientele. All, however, . are not out-door sport enthusiasts; and rgn for those who are, even- ; •big entertainment and amusement must' W provided. During the last few weeks, in fact abiee the appointment of tha above mentioned committee at the Yacht Oub, we have approached a number of persons, with an effort to obtain some suggestions which might prove of service to the committee. Without a single exception, all agreed that one of the first stepe* necessary, wig be to induce Boardwalk merchants, and theatre proprietors to extend their period of operations, beginning eariier in the year, and continuing until the advent of winter. A rumor is in circulation that two theatres are maturing plans to remain operating through the year. If true, the proprietors deserve the utmost support and commendation. Common justice demands no less. It may be that the first year will nat be a paying investment, to the Boardwalk merchants who undertake to pioneer the extension of the season. It entailed some sacrifice on the part of the Boardwalk i merchants of Atlantic City. Patriotic pride and the spirit of venture . has however reaped its reward; and there may be a danger, as Press , dent Sutton recently stated, of our holding the penny so dose to the eye, that we fail to see the dollar, or of being, as they say in the New England states, paraphrasing an old English proverb which came o\*r with the Puritans, "penny wise, and dollar foolish." Another suggestion offered with the view of extending the season, is that of providing musk. Some criticism 'has been heard, ami one or two persons have been tempted to display a brand of spinless and insiped wit, over the fact that all the music the city provided this year, was an eight-piece orchestra. It is a matter of grave doubt in our minds
however, whether the Russian Symphony Orchestra, with a charge made for admission, would have given so much satisfaction with the general publk, as this eight-piece combition with free admission. The average person will upon an occasion pay to hear a celebrated hand or orchestra perform, and feel it obligatory on his or her part to remain until the end of the concert. But only music lovers of some training will do that every night of the week; only the wealthy can afford to do so. The chart* of the present season's arrangement was that a person could enter the auditorium, sit and hear a few selections, and leave at will without any compunction, brought about by a feeling that he or she should have remained to the end ami get their money's worth. Apropos of musk, why cannot Ocean City, raise a municipal band ? We are informed that there are sufficient amateur brass instrument performers in Ocean City, to form s band equal te any in South Jersey. Our informant, — who is himself an instrumentalist — named ' twelve persons off hand. We are further informed there are a sufficient number of string, and reed instrumentalists, to form a very creditable orchestra. What Jacks is a conductor, a man skilled in that particular department of music, to the ilegree that he will be able to command the respect of every member in the band. Scattered all over the country, there are thousands qualified for the position, men who received their training m some of the conservatories of Europe, who might be induced to Cake up his residence in the city, and partly maintain himself with some light occupation. To those not familiar with the facts, the statement that the services of a man trained in an European conservatoire of music, could be obtaineo under such circumstances, may appear ridiculous. It must be borne in mind however, that these institutions in Europe, paitkulariy those of Italy, France, Belgium and Germany are maintained by the state, and are as accessible to the poorest boy, as to the wealthiest in the land. Before the war, the price charged for tuition on the violin under Prof. Masqueker in the Conservatoire of Musk, Brussels, was a franc a lesson, or twenty-one cents in American currency. A concrete example of how this may be accomplished, is furnished | by a score of mill towns in Western Pennsylvania, and Indiana. As- , sociated with the mills, three are one. two or more bands, which are at the service of the community for any municipal enterprise. During Uie summer months the bands frequently give open air concerts. The instruments in some cases were purchased hi the company, which tha - players are allowed to purchase upon easy . payments. If no leader is available in the community, one is imported, the said leader being paid a small honorarium for his services as leader, and provided with a light office in the mill. In one instance with which we are familiar ,the conductor of the band, quite an able musician, j Nteivea $30 a month for his service as conductor, and is otherwise employed as a time-keeper in the mills. There are instances of which we know, where the mill owners have extended their patronage u, ■«*. 10 the "tent of organising a large male chorus among the employees, and in a similar manner provide an accomplished leader. The male chorus which did yoeman service in the Liberty Loan drives, |

' as New York, and Atlantic City, wa» u typical example. The municipality yi much the same way, could make good -service of: the amohnt of instrumental talent running to seed In our city, and; secure the services of u competent leader. As at pri-scnt situated, if an occasion arises when the service of a municipal hand are required, one must I* hired. The success which yj attended the Ocean City Front financial campaign was worthy of a 1 little demonstration, ft was a municipal achievement. An apoiog) " for a parade was spontaneously organized.

A young boy, not yet in his teens, was overcome , by the surf. He was sinking for the last time probably, when the guards reached him. The youngster, it was found, had been eating . not so wisely as liberally; watermellon and wliat not having dis- V appeared in generous quantities, before he went into the water.
