RICHARD earle IN "THE TEN

Apropos of the forthcoming en-
gagement of Richard earle in the bril-
liant musical comedy, 1.-The Tender

mas arisen as to how few people un-

term "tenderfoot" CONVEYS For the

will be given at the Grand the week

and who are really more guilty. But

his career as one of the greatest oper-
attic composers. Beginning Thursday
evening March %, at the Metropolitan
opera house, Henry w. Savage's pro-
duction of the work in English will play
a brief engagement, in which time four
performances will be given, three in
the evening, with one matinee on Sat-
urday.
In the whole literature of music there
is no work which has aroused such a
vast amount of discussion among mu-
slcians and laymen. Certain advan-
tageous elements have, of course. been
factors in this. The fact that Wagner
decreed that "Parsifal" was not to be
given outside of Bayreuth was one of
the most important, because for near
ly twenty three years it was necessary
to make a pilgrimage to the little town

where he engaged some of the first
singers of the leading opera houses in
that country and had them taught the
English text so that they might sing
it practically without accent.
The problem of setting was not less
difficult. The task is great one to
prepare ''ParsifaI' for a large stage
where it is to be a permanent produc-
ton. but to make a production which
could be put on stages of ordinary di-
mansions and taken from city to city
made the problem vastly more compli-
Gated. Yet he succeeded in doing this,
in reproducing the Bayreuth setting in
almost every detail TO such an extent
that few find lack of that mysterious
atmosphere" which is supposed to be
peculiar to the festival playhouse.

TO DIVIDE DISTRICT
CONTROVERSY COMES
IN FROM DISTRICT Sc.
Petitioners and Remonstrants Occupy
the Attention of the County Court
Alleged That the Use Of the
School House Has Been Granted
for Improper Purposes-Question
OF Policy Rather Than of Business.

The county boundary board, COM
posed OF Judge H. ]. Bean. Commits
sioners Gilliland and Walker and
Superintendent Of Schools Frank X.
Welles, is today hearing the petition
for division of school district Sc.
There is a remonstrance against the
division of the district, and both
sides Of the controversy are repre-
sented by "a dozen residents Of the
district. The trouble in district Sc is
Of long standing.
There are two school houses in the
district, one in the east end and the
other in the west end. The three di-
rectors of the district reside in the
western portion, and it is charged
that they are discriminating and re-
fuse to hold school in the house on
the east side, and that many Of the
children are unable to attend owing
to the great distance and the poor
condition Of the roads.
1t is also charged that the directors
have overstepped their authority in
many instances and have allowed the
school house to be used for dancing
and other purposes detrimental to the
best interests OF the district.
James Doran, one OF the witnesses
called. declared that he had moved
out of the district and into the state
Of Washington in order that his child
ren might attend school. II still own
property in the district" ne said.
and if we have a school so that my
children could receive their education
there, l will move back"
There are 10 children of school age
in what is known as the east side,
and six on the west side, it is said.
The directors and others who oppose
division of the district declare that
the population of the district is not
any too large as it is. and that the
creation OF new district would work
a hardship upon the taxpayers
