There could be no tribute more fitting, more enduring, than the proposed monument, In years to come it will not only recall these heroes to all who lved in o1 visited the district, but vill sorve as & mute example for the nerations to come, one which should call forth that there is in American citizenship.” Dr. M.

The afternoon Forum, at Public School No, 62, of which Joseph 8. Marcus is Chairman, was as usual an overwhelming success. Again the doors had to be jocked, and hundreds of the latecomers were disappointed. Tho “stars” of the children from the Talent Department were Mar- tha and Georgianna Osmond, Amelia Schuman, Sonia Rabinowita, Lillian Willing and M, Berkoff. Martha and Georgianna sang a duet very well, and Amelia took the part of Pavlova in an excellent Russian dance in costume. Sonia, another dancer, also proved to be a “star” and M. Berkoff had the touch, the tech- nique and the facility of a akilled| pianist. Little Lillian Willing, the youngest member of the department, showed that although she was only three years old she was old enough to deliver a eulogy on the War Sav- ings Stamp campaign which could be heard in every part of the great hall. Although the audience wanted more, Lillian ran to her mother as s00n as the speech was concluded. Other juvenile entertainers were: Harriet Merber, pianist; Sabina Retig, pianist; Ida Kassin, .peaker; Dorothy Miller, actress; Rebecca Kozen, vi linist;’ Dorothy Rothenberg, dancer; Bertha Briskman, pianist, and Helen Schweldel, dancer. Another’ feature of the afternoon forum was the community singing, led by Harry H. Schlacht, Director of The Evening World Americaniza- tion Forums. The great crowd joined | in one mighty chorus and sang the | the patriotic and popular songs of tho day until it seemed as though the roof would leave the school house. ‘The final number on the programme was the movies, which were of a type calculated to promote American~- m and the best of citizenship. se were popular with old and young alik ns are rs est entertainment and “general food time” which was ever giv to the children of New York.

Every letter received a week after the department was closed was an- |swered, and the fact that many have been returned by the postman proves that many must have been disap- pointed because they did not write their names and addresses clearly.
