SCHOOL NEWS
(By II. s. Correspondent)

(By H. s. Correspondent
The students of the hiNh school
are showing a great deal Of interest
in selling tickets for g. concert to be
given in the auditorium Thursday
night. Room 107 declares that. they
will have the record Of selling tickets
and that they will have reached the
summit by 2 o'clock this afternoon.
Room 202. which was the first 100
per cen season ticket room and first
100 per cent. Periscope room, de-
clares it will be the first 100 per
cent. room in buying tickets for the
concert. Two senior boys have al
ready pledged to sell fifty tickets
One of the most important reasons
for the pupils taking such an inter-
est in this concert is because the pro-
ceeds go toward buying "a new piano
for the GYM Another reason is be-
cause it will be a first class enter
tainment, having three people In 1t
who are well known in the musical
world. 1t was only through a great
engage Mrs. Harlan e. Voehrle, J.
Ellsworth Sliker and Earle d. Laros
to come to perform for the people of
Perth Amboy.
Another thing foremost in the
minds of the pupils is the mid-year
exams. In years past the pupils have
only had to take mid-year exams in
half-year subjects and subjects such
as biology, general science, physics
and chemistry. but this year it Is
likely that other subjects will be. add
ed to the list. The juniors will very
likely have to pass a mid-year exam
in French and there is also very like
ly to be mid-year promotions. This
is causing a great deal of concern and
q great deal of brushing up" in the
different subjects.

rho following letter containing a
statement Of the Mcclellan Engine
Company was received by the EVEN
ING NEWS today concerning the
Sunday moving picture show which
was scheduled to ave been held here
last Sunday:
Editor EVENING NEWS.
Dea Sir:
The Members of the Mcclellan Eng
ne Company desire to make the FOL-
lowing public statement for the infor-
nation of all interested citizcns TO
show their intentions and pose in
attempting to run a Movie show at the
Royal Theatre on Sunday last.
From. the statement made by Mr..
Joseph i. Walker in your paper on
Monday it would appear that the
members of our Company attempted
to wilfully violate the laws Of this
State. We wish to contradict any
such imputation because we were I'M
der the impression that we were with
in our lawful rights at the time we
made arrangements for the show.
Some time g Mr.. Stricken stated
thai but one performance could be
given in a theatre during the year. We
interpreted this to mean hat we
would be committing no unlawful act
if we had a performance at the Royal
va aAAN ioSG DtN@b5G nv
performance had been given at that
theatre during the year 1920. When
steps were taken to prevent the per
Torrance we Immediately interviewed
Prosecutor Joseph f.. Stricken and
were informed that a show could not
be held at a theatre within twelve
calendar months of the last perfor-
nance held at that particular thea
ire, without regard to the calendar
year. As soon as this advice was
given to us by the prosecutor we
promptly and frankly admitted that
we had been in error in our interpre-
tation of his former statement of the
law and Immediately cancelled all ar
engagements h a had been made by us.
Mr.. Walker states that he phoned
the Mcclellan Engine Company and
was informed hat the performance
would be held "in spite of his warn
ing" This statement we brand as alb
solutely false. The Mcclellan Engine
Company is under no obligation
whatsoever to report its activities to
Mr.. Walker. and If our vigilant friend
has any complaints to make, or -ques-
tons to ask in regard to the legality
of any of the actions of our company,
1t Is his duty to direct them to the
proper authorities, who are paid by
the county to see that the law is en-
forced.
The further statement made by Mr..
Walker that some of the citizens
came to me and reported hat there
would be a Sunday movie show at the
Royal" seems to imply that Mr.. Walk
