OPEN DOOR AT
HIGH SCHOOL
Board Of Education Replies to
Alumni Associations Letter
on the Subject

Several weeks ago the Board Of
Education received from the The
Alumni Association of the Wilmington
High School a communication, urging
that the Board reconsider the rules it
passed some time ago, denying the use
of the front entrance OF that school
to the members OF the senior class, q
privilege which existed previous to the
time the new rules we're adopted.
Two weeks ago the board sent a
letter in reply to the one from the
Alumni Association, asking the mem
bers OF that organization two ques-
tions, to which no answer has yet
been received, according to report
made at the board meeting last night.
Both Acting President Baynard and
DR.. r. o. Cooper thought that as the
Alumni Association had not anwered
the Boards letter, the Boards letter
should be given to the public. The
letter was then read It follows:
"The Alumni Association of the
Wilmington High School:
II. c. Mahaffy, Jr.. Secretary:
Fellow Citizens Your commune
cation of the 4th inst, to the Presi-
dent and Members of the Board Of
Public Education relative to condi-
tions existing at our High School. was
duly received, and after a friendly
discussion was referred to the com
mittee OF that school
"The committee realizing that your
membership having successfully met
all requirements OF the High School
course, and having graduated with
honor. and have now assumed the full
responsibility OF citizenship, are well
qualified to render valuable aid to the
Board Of Education in It's efforts to
mako our High School the very best
agency in the construction OF broad
minded. and high grade merican citi-
zenship, they do now ask OF you, that
cooperation and loyalty indicated in
your communication. We would ask
you, after due consideration, IL you
deem Il for the best interest OF this
National education system, to provide
special class privileges discriminating
against classes equally worthy, and
again do you deem II for the best in
terest In the discipline OF the High
School to have all it's membership,
regardless OF age or sex, slmultan-
eously using the main entrance, or
do you not think that a better dis
tribution OF he pupils can be had
by assigning one entrance for the
girls, one entrance for the boys, leav-
ing one entrance at the officers quar-
ters for the parents Of the pupils, OF
any citizen whose privilege. and per-
haps duty, may call them to visit the
school?
These are matters Of vital import
ance to the school, and we again
ask for your careful consideration
and conclusions so that we may pre-
sent them to the Board at an early
date. Signed.

ORCHESTRA
AGAIN TRIUMPHS
Eighth Concert Season Of
Philadelphia Organization
Here, Opens With Delight

Beginning the eighth season in Will
mington. the Philadelphia Orchestra
was heard in a successful concert in
the Opera House last night. When the
concerts were inagurated eight years
ago there was some misgiving as to
whether they would be supported, but
the large attendance, including the
foremost families of the city, and the
enthusiasm evinced more than any
thing else that Wilmington has taken
q high place as a music-loying com
munity
Last nights was the first concert
in this city of the Philadelphia Orches-
ira under the leadership of-Leopold
Stokowsld and the musicians certain
ly have lost none OF their skill under
his direction The eighty men in the
great orchestra were always in thor
ough accord with Stokowski's baton,
and their reading of the different num-
hers on the program was sympathetic
and intimate with the leaders artis-
tic Interpretation The varying pro-
gram was made up as follows
Program Robert Schumann

The Schumann symphony was
played for the first time by the or
chestra in this city, revealing melodic
charms and a beauty and granddeaur
OF orchestration that elected an ap-
preciativo response from the audience.
In fact each number was followed by
wealth of applause Aside from
the orchestra numbers, Miss Alma
Wcisshaar. the soprano soloist, con-
tributed two pleasing solos. and re-
sponded with encores to each. She
has a light voice Of great purity, and
sang with much expression and dra-
matte power. That she sang in Eng
lish was an additional pleasure to the
audience. Her principal numbers
were the Prayer" from Der Fres
chutz.' and "One Fine Day. from
Madama Butterfly" Her encores
were Songs My Mother Taught Me-"
Dvorak) and "Solvejg's Song"
(Grieg)
The general Impression was that
last nights concert was the most
charming and successful yet given
by the orchestra
