Rome Also Gets Help.

Rome, according to the letter receiY-
ed in response to the one sent from Sa-
Vannah at Alderman Wilson's request
receives assistance from the county.
The letter in part says: 1T has been
customary for several years past fo
the chaingang While in winter quar-
ters near the city to do some work
on the streets, and crush rock for tn,
city to use through the year. Tho
city does not get what it thinks it s
entitled to, but just what the county
authorities are disposed to give. Taa
city, not having any legislation on the.
subject, is not in position to demand
anything i'll legal way
The letter from Columbus says
Our city has no arrangement with the
county authorities to do any work in
side the city limits. Occasionally.
though very rarely, the county viii
give us the use of its chaingang for a
day or two when some unusual WORK
is to be done on the Streets
The letter from Augusta shows that
there is no arrangement in that city
with the county authorities to have
the county work in the city limits.

Academy.

I'm The Turning Point Preston Gibson
has combined characteristics of both the
melOdrama and the problem play, and
has succeeded by that means in prOduc-
ing drama. which, though more less
commonplace throughout the first act, is
In the last two acts tense and stirring.
He has brought before the eye of his
audience the virtues and vices of the hu-
man race, exhibiting them with realism
that literally makes his audience sit up
and take notice. He succeeds in obtain
ing an air of comedy by means of a
worldly preacher and a society widow
who is endowed with large vocabulary
of classical slang.
AT the outset of the play Brent Breck-
enridge, gentleman Of the south, has
| sold most of the property of his fore
fathers to "A Wall street schemer for a
mere trife. believing that the land is al
| most .valueless, though in reality it con-
| tains coal worth millions. Frederick
Ferguson, the speculator from New York.
and If he can succeed in obtaining just
a small strip of land belong ng to Breck-
enridge, through which to put railroad,
he will be able to market his coal. Brock
| enridge is just ready to sign away the
/ land when Aline, a society girl of New
York, whose life he has saved, shows him
the true worth of the land and urges him
to form a company of his own and re-
gain his lost fortune.
A few moments after giving Brecken-
ridge this advice she sees him with Bar
bara Byrd. an orphan, and believing that
she has been deceived in her love for him
she sends him from her. Complications
arise. during which Barbara is Wronged
by Ferguson, who, however. throws the
blame on Breckenridge. 1t is believed
that Barbara has died and Dave Denny,
who Is in love with her, follows his former
friend Breckenridge TO New York to
avenge the wrong. By means of Pansy
Parr. Breckenridge and Aline are brought
together just at time when it seems that
she will be forced to marry Ferguson to
save her mothers honor. At this moment
Dave Denny appears on the scene and after
| meeting that nearly results in the death
of Breckenridge lie learns the truth. At
the last Ferguson is forced to give back
! all the money which he has received from
Alines mother and others. with which he
was to promote the mining scheme, Bar
! bara makes a timely appearance and eX-
/ plains the mistake which caused her
| friends to believe she had died, and Aline
and Breckenridge straighten out their
MISUNDERSTANDING.
Among the members of the cast Harold

"Grlies, the two-act nondescript pre-

evening. is just "Girlies'' and nothing
more. It's shred of plot. which assumes
to contribute neither to interest nor
amusement, is SO intangible that one Won
ders why it is necessary, il it really is.
There was a topical song in the first act
Life Is Just Merry Go Round" in
which Mr.. Cawthorn made some clever
hits. He was assisted by a male chorus
that later did better service as escorts to
the "girlies." There were some novelties
in the second act-an aeroplane swing,
some fine tumbling and comical aero
battles by Messrs. Bowers, Walters and
Croker. an almost natural dog that one
really grew to like and some risque trav-
estes OF plays in fOur-rOom apartment
house. When these are recOunted, all
there is to ''Girlies'' has been told-ex-
cept, of course the 'girlies.'
Another reincarnation of the Florodora
sextet was present. 1t seems to be man.
agerial Judgment that this is indiSpensa-
BILE to a "girlies'' show.
The solOists, except Maude Raymond, in
ragtime melodies. were not equipped with
extraordinary song material. Joseph Cav
thorn scores a decided hit with his con-
certina solos. The acrobatic trio was en-
Enthusiastically encored.
In the four room apartment scene Mrs.

The topical song-"You Will Read 1t In
the Papers was hardly an Endorsement
to the interest and sprightliness which
modern journalism assumes to reflect.
But. after ALL the main feature expected
was just "girlies." Pretty make-ups and
a hurly-burly of dancing and ensemble
evolutions exert an appeal apart from plot
and epigram.

USED AS SCHOOLROOM.
Building to Be Occupied by Cathe-
dral School for Bows.

The property at 1900 Wisconsin avenue,
built some years ago by Richard Colds
borough, has been transferred to the
Washington Cathedral Chapter and here
after 1t will be used by the primary and
intermediate departments Of the Cathe-
dral School for Boys. 1t is located only
short distant from the Lane-Johnston
building, the main building of the school.
and is expected to prove especially ADAPT
able to the work i'm hand.
For several years past the building has
served as the living quarters for the
Washington School for Boys, but when
that institution was combined last spring
with the National Cathedal School for
Boys the cathedral chapter took charge
of the building occupied by the former
institution.
Nothing was done with it in an educa-
tional way until recently the Lane-John-
ston building became inadequate to house
the large attendance at the Cathedral
School, and preparations were made look
ing toward placing the primary and inter-
mediate departments in the newly &C.
quired property.

Alta Phipps, as Geraldine Vasderbilt. the
widow, not only bore out the Irritation
idea of her role, but in dress and voice
proved notably attractive. Abe Reynolds,
Jack Conway and Will H. Ward furnished
the comedy for the play. The Jungle
song by Abe Reynolds and chorus was
one of the musical hits. Felix Adler en-
tertained with his songs and jokes, while
Miss Don Carlos in her Impressions had
one of the best parts of the bill. The
girls sing and dance well and the cos
tunes are handsome.

Scheme of Education.

supervised by the government in both
private and public schools. and with a
compulsory system Of athletics, was sug-
gested by DR.. Harvey w. Wiley, chemist
of the Department of Agriculture. in a
lecture to the pupils at the Friends
School yesterday.
In the course of his remarks DR.. Wiley
called attention to the large number of
distingu: shed Americans who have come
from farms, and this. he claimed. was
due to the fact that country boys have
more outdoor exercise and are able to
endure more physical hardships than city
boys.
T w Sidwell announced that a COM
mittee, OF which he was chairman, had
been appointed by the Board of Trade
to consider the feasibility of the super
vision of the private schools by a ma
tional department of education.
