Hobson and his Jap war scare will
not down. It's a dull day in Congress
when Hobson doesn't try to impress his
colleagues with his belief in the un-
preparedness of the United states for
war. Congress, however. isn't easily
scared, nor are the people. Despite the
rawlings of Hobson the country is con-
fdent that the friendly relations be-
tween the United States and Japan
win continue.

"5URGoMAsTER" PLEAsEs.
Gus Weinberg Had to Make a Curtain
Speech at Duluth.

The Burgomaster," William z. Gull
lens delightful musical comedy. which
will be the offering at the Calumet
theater next Saturday, matinee and
night. was well received i'm the Lyceum
theater in Duluth, where it was given
the last three nights of last week. and
Gus Weinberg, the principal comedian,
had to make curtain speech. The
Duluth Herald of Friday said of the
attractions:
Gus Weinberg and the Burgomas-
ter delighted large sized audience at
the Lyceum theater last evening. The
word delighted is not in the last over
drawn, for the work of Mr. Weinberg.
who has been playing the part of Peter
Stuyvesant, the Dutch governor of
New Amsterdam for so long that one
past 40 hesitates to recall the initial
production of the piece, proved a rare
treat and he was recalled time after
time and finally forced to make a cur
tain speech.
The Burgomaster' is one OF the
older school comic operas. It's music is
dainty and catching and has also
something that the lighter music of
today often lacks. The lines are good,
too, and though the present company
is not as large as the original company
the opera lost nothing in it's presenta-
ton.
Mr.. Weinberg is all that the imag-
ination could ask for in the role of the
erratic and headstrong Dutch govern
or. His comedy is unctious. and in
deed it seems to require not the slight
est effort on the part of gentle Gus To
be uproariously funny. Last evening
frequent roars Of genuine mirth greet
ed some of his sallies 1t might also be
said that some of the lines Incorporate
ed in the piece last evening by Mr.
Weinberg were as humorous as the
lines constructed by the author of the
opera"

HIGH SCHOOL,
HIGH SCHOOLS OF ONLY TWO
CITIES IN STATE EXCEED
CALUMET. OTHER INTER
EsTINo FACTS.

Supt. Il. ]. Hall, of the Calumet
public schools, has compiled some in
teresting data concerning the Calumet
high school.
The present high school enrolment
is 772, believed TO be the third largest
I'm the state, headed only by the high
schools of Detroit and Grand Rapids.
Thirty ceven instructors are engaged
in teaching this large number of stu
dents. Owing to the rapid growth OF
the school, four additional instructors
were added during the last semester.
The large assembly room. which
contains $50 seats was found made
quate To seat the students OF the new
Freshman class. which entered this
month and numbers los. This made IL
necessary to establish an additional
assembly room. which is situated on
the third floor of the building and I'm
charge of Miss Ella Rogers. At pres
ent about 125 students are seated there.
OF general interest will be the an
nouncement of the disposition of the
first year students who have just en-
tered the high school OF these seven
teen are taking the Latin course,
twelve the German-Latin course, for
ty-two the commercial course, fifteen
the English and engineering course
combined, and twenty-five the manual
training and domestic science cours-
es. The popularity of the commercial
course can readily be seen. An as
sistant bookkeeper has been engaged
to help in the commercial instruction.
Other schools in the district have
gained in point of attendance this
month through the formation of ex-
ira kindergarten classes. Supt. Hall
announces that all parents wishing to
have children commence school work
this semester must see to il that they
are enrolled at once. There is still
time, he says, to start them.
Further announcement is made that
no students are allowed to take work
in the high school unless graduates
from the eight grade. This rule is TO
be strictly adhered to.

IL is interesting to note that all of
