INTERESTING MEETING.
Ladies' Literary Club, Yesterday At
ternoon. Jacob Reuter- Figures in
the Program.

The Department of Art and Litera-
ture of the Ladies' Literary Club met in
Fraternity hall yesterday afternoon and
listened to an exceptionally fine pro-
gram.
Jacob Reuter- opened the program
with the Mendelssohn Violin Concerto.
This entire work consists of three move
ments. The first being, allegro motto
appasionata; second, andante, and the
last movement allegro motto yivaces.
In Europe, this Concerto is regarded as
one of the most beautiful and classical
compositions for the violin. 1t is taken
up as a test piece, and the rule of
European Conservatives at the close of
six or eight years of hard study, is a
hearing of the pupil in this concerto, by
competent judges and critics before he
will receive his diploma. The great
violinist, composer and teacher par ex-
cellence, Ferdinand David, played it
for the first time in 1916, at Gewand
house concert in Leipzig. Mendels-
sohn was leading the orchestra. David
had been telling his friends that he in
tended to write violin concerto in the
classical style, and had promised this
for a long time, but he never came
forth with his classical concerto. When
he played the Mendelssohn concerto
however, his success brought him a
perfect ovation Robert Schumann
happened to be present at this concerto,
and at the conclusion he went up to
Mendelssohn and spoke in glowing
terms about the concerto, congratul-
ated him very warmly and turning to
David said: ''Ah, David, this is the
kind of concerto, you always have
been wanting to write"
Mr.. Reuter-, as usual, charmed those
present by his excellent playing. He
was accompanied by Miss Cornelia
Schaer
Mr.. Reuter- was followed by Mrs. f.
l.. Hudson, who read a paper on Rosa
Bonheur and her works" and DR.. Mar
garet Treyitt on, us Collegiate Edu-
cation as necessary for our girls as for
our boys ?" Both papers were very
fine.

$4,000 ADDITION.
Board of Education Petitions the
Council Last Evening For An Addi-
ton to the West Side Building.

At the council meeting last evening
the Board of Education introduced
petition asking for an addition to the
Lincoln school building, west side, and
asking that the council take such &C
ton in the matter as it deemed advis-
able. The city as whole is well sup
piled with school accommodations, ex-
cept the territory on the west side south
of Jacob Mortenson Lumber Company's
mill and yards. The petition sets forth
that this territory now has three school
buildings with fourteen school rooms
1t is increasing rapidly in population,
and the growth has been fairly even
for several years last past. The school
census shows an increase In the last
three years from 1921 to 1914, while In
the same time the school attendance for
the month of February in the grades up
to and including the fifth grade, has
/ increased from 507 to TAG, and there are
now enrolled in the public schools from
the chileren residing in this territory in
grades up to and including the seventh
grade, s26 The average age of the
children in the sixth grade is about
eleven years. At the present time all
children living on the west side above
the Fifth Grade are compelled to attend
school on the east side of the river, and
though the fourteen rooms in the terri
tory mentioned are filled to overflow
ing, they are compelled to send some
of the little ones in these lower grades
to the east side 1t is apparent that at
the opening of the school year, 1900,
the school board shall be compelled to
rent two rooms in this territory for the
accommodation of children in the first
five grades, unless, suitable accommo-
dations are provided by building.
The petition was referred to the COM
mittee on finance, to report at the next
regular meeting of the council. The
addition to the Lincoln building will
cost about $4,000, complete, and ac-
cording to the drawings of the architect
will give the building SPLENDID and
Imposing appearance. 1t will have
eight class rooms including kinder
garten room and the dimensions OF the
basement will be S0x62. In the base
ment will be the assembly room 2Sx6s
facing south, kindergarten room 40x2s
a corridor running north and south,
toilet rooms, water closets and ward
robes. On the first floor are four class
rooms, each 25x32; four wardrobes fol
girls and four for boys; stairway and
a corridor. The second floor has three
class rooms, of the same size as on first
fieor, a teachers room 19x25 with
twelve lockers, principals office also

cts. and three girls wardrobes ano
three for the boys. Also corridor ant
stairway. Van Ryan & De Gelleke, O.
Milwaukee, are the architects. Tit
new addition will accommodate abou
$50 pupils and the present building &C
commodities about 800, making 90
pupils that can be taken care of.
