This will he the first year of the Booth's regular appearance on the Academy stage, although at various benefit and lodge performances, it has been seen there many times in the past.

The play chosen for Tuesday night is Belasco and De Mille's society drama. The and the cast which will iuteipret it is one of the strongest that the society is capable of forming.

G'Xell Hlanchlleld Dearborn Rose YVtekham Ulllas Kolib Marguerite Moiler Putnam. Ives Mrs. Arnictry Agnes Lillian Moiler Rehearsals have been very satisfactory. Sol G. Frost, as heretofore, has had the coaching of the cast in charge and he himself will tako an important part.

Messrs. Doyle and Barrett also have excellent roles. The women in the cast will undoubtedly bring out very strikingly the Booth's strength in portraying feminine characters and in addition to old favorites, like Miss Dearborn and Miss Blanchfield, the performance will serve to introduce two new comers to Booth audiences, the Misses Moller. William J. McCahill and Francis Kelly have not been able to play this month owing to the pressure of business.

Homer B. Mason, whose clever work with the old Polytechnic Dramatic Association when the best of "The Jesters" were members, has joined the Amaranth Society. Mr. Mason has decided lo quit the professional stage, and already he has settled in business life. One of the pretty young women who sang and danced in the successful Beaus and Belles octette last spring, became Mr.

Mason's bride not long ago and the young Brooklynite's decision to leave vaudeville followed shortly afterward. Mr. Mason will make a valuable addition the Amaranth corps of comedians. Harry M. Stoops, formerly of the Ama ranth, and now known on the professional stage as Harry Stuart, is now gaining ex perience in light opera.

He is with Francis Wilson in "The Strollers" this season, play ing the pari; of Lieutenant Muki Von Mug jgenhetm. a German officer, a part which, he writes, he created last summer. Last sea son Mr. Stoops was with Thomas Q. Sea brooke as stage manager and also leading Juvenile in "The Rounders," going to the Pacific coast with the Seabrooke company.

The Amaranth's December offering at the Academy will be the old Daly comedy, "The Lottery of Love." The growing popularity of the stock companies here and elsewhere is making it extremely difficult for the larger amateur organizations to get strong dramas. ihe stock companies can afford to. and do. pay more royalty for the use of a good play than the amateurs possibly could manage to raise, and the result is a growing diflieulty in the path of all amateur play directors. The Amaranth tried for three weeks to land "Why Suith Left Home" for a subsequent performance and finally had to give up the quest.

The Amaranth dates for the season are as follows: Wednesday. December 11, 1001. Wednesday. January S. 19u2: Wednesday February 12.

H. A. Notsew has been re THINKS PROGRESS IS GOOD. Present Conditions, He Declares, Are Better Than They Have Ever Been Before. President Charles E.

Robertson cf the 'Brooklyn School Board yesterday afternoon presented a number of figures which, as he stated, gave the exact conditions relative to the accommodations in the 137 public schools of this borough im the last day of October arid compared them with similar reports dated October "31. 1UO0. "Figures cannot lie." said Mr. Robertson, "and those that are found in the monthly reports of our school principals cannot be twisted to suit the individual. From the reports of our principals showing the exact state of affairs in every school in Brooklyn on the last day of October, and which I have had compiled into a few brief comparisons.

It will be found that not a statement made by me of late relative to the condition of our schools needs any qualification whatever. ''I find that on October SI. this year, we tad In all our public schools 460 part time classes. On October 31. lftilO.

these classes numbered S.H. Cn 31. th.s year, there were 24.fi.So chihlren in these part time classes. On the same date in 1900. a year alio.

thro were 43.31S children thus ac comm: doled. The registration of attendance in the schools on October 31. this year, numbered a year ago the figure was 270. From these figures it will be seen that children have been taken out of part fiine ciassos and accommodated in full day classes'. Tn addition to thai.

S.720 pupils have ben received into our schools. In other words, in cue year 27,358 children have been placed in full time classes in Brooklyn. These statements will bear the closest investigation and arc entirely confirmatory of those recently made. "Another feature of the October reports fiom the principals that should be interesting to all Brooldynltes interested in our is: tire' the waiting list has been pr.actic.aUy done away with. In so large a borough, with its 137 different schools, with more or leb well defined district lines, it will never be possible to do away entirely with a waiting list, or certainly not until all peojde own their own houses and refuse io move, when the population will become Stationary as to location.

"We have, of course, statements from a number of principals that they have one or two or even a greater number, in some cases, children to whom admission has been fused. That means just what it states, that the chiidreu have been refused pending a proper placing of them Jn their respective trades. These changes generally take place at the beginning of each month, so that those who appeared on the waiting list on the last day of October probably have all been placed ere this and before the close of the present month other children wiil figure In that light. fco we. wili always have a waiting list, com of children who move from one school another during the month.

"Now, as to the future. I want to say that rovision has been made for the use of all 1 the money that has thus far been appropri i ftted for school betterments in Brooklyn, and i that there are now in various stages of the ork nine school buildings, providing for 2Si classrooms and Uiat will give accommoda tlons in the way of regular sittings to be tween 14.300 and 15,000 children. Just what. these sittings would mean if now available can be Judged by looking over the firsi fig tires given. We have children In part lime classes.

If seals were at hand for half of these, or 12.340, vry child would go in full time classes. Thus we would have a difference of about 2.000 seats for which there are at present, no applicants. But that is only to show what the future has in store. "The school buildings under way are an eight room addition to School N'o. 02.

"But these are the buildings that, will go into the hands of the coming administration. a.nd are the result of the appropriations of the present. Five of these buildings are now under construction: two will be let probably next week, and the hist, as I have stated, will be placed under construction probably within sixty days. "Some criticism has been made of the action of the school authorities in erecting in the outlying district, a twenty eight class room building, for instance, when but twenty of these classes were filled when the building was opened. This criticism is unjust and fltacri sighted.

Unjust, for the reason lira it is relatively much more economical to build a twenty eight class room building than a twenty room building, when it is known that all school buildings, under the law. must be fire proof. Shortsighted, for if a schoolhotise in a growing community is planned to accommodate just, the number of children there when opened, what provision is made for the giowth of the neighborhood? We have scarcely a vacant ent in the whole borough, and those vacant rooms in the outlying districts will probably be occupied by the opening of the February term. "As shown, the school accommodation question has pr gresscd very favorably to Brooklyn during the last few months. The present conditions arc better than they ever have been, the accommodations provided for under oil' appropriations are by no means small and 1 relieve that an annual appropriation nf nhnui 61.000.000 hereafter will keep the echool accommodations in tin up to ihc demand." borough well DIED IN BILLIAED ROOM.

She says further: "As to Miss Wintner and Miss James, no prai3e can be too great, the latter having shown unmistak able talents during the short time she haa been before the public; but several times have I seen Miss MacAvoy referred to as the leading lady of the Amaranth, when, as a matter of fact, Miss MacAvoy never even played leading parts for the Amaranth, that position being held by Miss wintner uniu three years ago, when she went on the professional stage: since then the place being filled by Miss Stanley, who is now leading lady, with James R. Waite, in the "Undo Terry" company. The Davenport Dramatic Society of Greater New York has recently organized to succeed the old society of that name in Brooklyn. Twenty members have already been enrolled. At the first meeting of the society the following officers were chosen to serve for one year: Elmer K.

Valentine, president; Miss Elsie Buckman, treasurer, and Charles M. Wegener, sergeant at arms. Professor Theodore Lake of the Commercial High School will act as manager for all performances. Applicants for membership, between the ages of 18 and 25 only, should address William M. Gatter, 633 Hancock street.

On Wednesday evening, at Arion Hall, a military drama, "The Confederate Spy," will be presented under the direction of Daniel J. Doyle, a well known actor on the amateur stage. He will be ably assisted by a cast from the Valerian Lyceum. The affair will be under the auspices of Stuyvesant Council No. G90, Royal Arcanum, and is the occasion of the council's twentieth annual reception.

The cast follows: Ceorge Waterman Joseph T. Winters Philip Bradley Daniel J. Doyle Fred Ainsley Peter Waters Major General Banks Joseph I. Cain Colonel Willard Frank J. Connolly Ollleer Mulgarry James McLinden Clay Joseph Campbell Soekery Schneidlebecker Thomas McDonald Mrs.

Waterman Jennie Lace Maud Rradley Annie Blsson Xorah McLegttin Ella Kelly Many new faces will be seen in "Shaun Aroon," which the Young Men's Catholic Club and tho Catholic Women's Circle of the Church of St. Mary Star of the Sea, are to produce in the Academy Hall at Court and Nelson streets, on the evening of November 20 and 21. This will be the fourth bid of these two young societies for histrionic honors in the past year and a half and judging by their former success in "The Wayside Inn," "Incog" and "Hurly Burly" their latest will be done well. The play is being rehearsed under the supervision of Maurice De Levante of the Booth Dramatic Society and the reports from their rehearsal are most en couraging. In the feminine parts three new 1 coiners will he seen the Misses McCarthy, McGown and Mimnaugh and all three show I promise of acquitting themselves equally as I well as their predecessors in the former pro Auctions.

of these ployment, and who. on account conditions, can be handled masse: IS by corrupt politicians; can be made to believe that, thus alien aud Ignorant, of the real questions at issue, they are taking a valid part in our political life and are important to us: whereas, such voters are a menace to our liberty and to their own. It should be remembered that a large majority of the im migrants arriving are males and within tho voter's age limit no less than 69 per cent, being between the ages of 15 and 40. At the presidential election one middleman, speaking English for scores of his countrymen who could not, boasted that he controlled twenty five votes, another ten, and so on. An American speaker was rather surprised at.

the well timed applause his remarks drew out of an Italian audience and expressed his gratification that they had understood so well. It turned out that the applause was entirely automatic. When the political boss held up one finger it meant, hurrarh for McKlnley; two meant hurrah for the party, and three, hurrarh for the nag. The Italians would willingly vote according to their independent opinion if they could have an opinion, and they could have one we would personally, at the cost it must be confessed of a little self sacrifice, share our English with them. As it is, though within touch, an insurmountable barrier holds us apart.

We jostle each other In the streets; we hear each other's speech, but tho words arouse no intelligence, no mutual understanding. What are we to do about it? Let us all do a little. Let us show an Interest in these people, if only by signs, and let us give a word, a nhrase. a lift into the language of tho country when and where we may. The Board of Education has opened evening schools; it has provided teachers for those who wish to learn English.

What can a few teachers do without hearty backing? Let as manv of us as may become Informal teachers. Let us, at least, make the Italians (men and women with whom we come in contact) aware of their opportunity, and urge them to embrace it for their own good and for ours if we love our country. And yet there are those who object to the system' of evening schools, who think taxes misapplied when used to give adults their onlv opportunity to cast out the deaf and dumb spirit which saddles them as they touch foot to our shores these boys and men and women who need for their own protection a working knowledge of Enflf'sh and are tinder the spell of enforced silence; who are crowding the school quarters assigned to them and must practice their reading from children's primers and, on account of their numbers In concert. Do not these fellow citizens deserve attention and study? Do they not deserve protection while helpless to protect themselves? These matters have already attracted the notice of Botne of the most thoughtful men and women of our city and a movement, initiated last winter and put into organized form under the title of a Society for the Protection of Italian Immigrants proposes to itself, as scope, the encouragement and forwarding ot these objects. The society will open an Immigrant house as soon as a suitable building can be found which will furnish a basis of operations and be also the temporary refuge of the hundreds of bewildered strangers whom it hopes to befriend.

The public ought to stand solidly behind this society and furnish It with all needed sinews of war, for no work could be moro literally what Mr. Shepard would call "a constructive reform." Upon the advisory council of this society aro such names as Richard Wasson Gilder, A. S. Frissell, Mrs. Dimies.

As both young women were members of the Amaranth corps last season they find association in the same professional company pleasant. The com pany is now on the road. In connection with the Amaranth, which appeared story lasr of the week', a MUST HELP ITALIANS ALONG.

Most Important Part of Foreign Population Needs Assistance Toward Citizenship. To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle: 1 hope the article published Sunday. November 3. on settlement and educational work among our Italian immigrants will receivo wide attention. The apathy of the public in regard to present conditions has lasted too long.

Something must, be done for these, foreigners. Humanity demands that they be protected, on their arrival, from conscienceless and cruel sharpers, that they be helped onward to the interior and not. left, to encumber the slums and obstruct each other; that an end be put to the bad features of the padrone system of employment: and common sense aud patriotism demand that sufficient education in our language, our laws and out customs be urged upon them, to make of them good citizens, since, whether good or bad, they very soon become voters. The Italians now constitute the most important body ot our total immigration, representing, according to the census of 1S00, 5.53 per cent, of the foreign bora population of the State of New York and 1.45 per cent, of its total population. Among the crowding problems which confront our country to day.

and for which some sort of a solution is demanded, this question of how the state is to assimilate the enormous foreign accretions it has received into the body politic is possibly the most urgent. Tl is only one answer Americanize them. Bring them into contact with our ideas on conduct and morals, our ways of seeing things and tho constitutional principles of government for which America stands. These principles the immigrants vaguely apprehend, they have heard of them, they have practically accepted them in taking the great step of separating themselves from their old world attachments to soil and friends and flag. They come to us ex pccting to be American citizens, expecting i to have that great privilege explained to them and willing honestly to live up to its duties.

Thev believe that a native American is ihe ideal of the world citizen, that he stands for fair play and the equal treatment of all the motley nationalities which, invited to these shores, have helped to develop our magnificent domain. In good faith tho immigrant accepts the invitation: ho comes and he conquers for his elder born, longer headed and wiser, though not warmer hearted brother, untold difficulties of routine manual work the leveling and laying of I roads. Ihe tunnelling of hills, the opening i of mines, the transformation of wildernesses into gardens. Our country is great because Immigration has made it so; it has handled its tremendous resources through immigration: now the problem is to handle the immigration, It is not a question of things, but of intangible individualities: not Ihe well I understood, easily controlled products of human industry, but personalities attracted to us by our wealth of possibility, who come possessed of habits of thinking and acting incongruous to our institutions and who can 1.. l.

lrh h. in those institutions. In other words, they must be Americanized. Can this lie done through Interpreters? We believe such a task to be impossible and impracticable. The Italian Immigration has now become the largest of all and is yearly increasing in percentage.

Tt lands upon our soil squads, colonies, compact settlements of foreigners, whr, because they depend upon inter prefers and live by themselves. have been shamefully victimized, have had saddled upon them the notorious padrone system of em.
