that it will be the first organized at
tempt to present to large number
of Harrisburg citizens at one time,
the High School problem which con-
fronts the city to-day.

mass meeting which will take place
in the Park theater late in the af-
ternoon, and he will discuss the High

man, vice-president of the alumni
association, will be the other speaker
of the day, and he will explain the
purpose of the alumni association
