ORIGINAL COMPOSITION
 "IN OLD VIRGINIA"
By John Powell Will Be Given at Norfolk
 Concerts

There will be an original orches- tra composition at the Norfolk fes- tival in June after all. This will be .".In Old Virginia" an overture by John Powell, who is best known as a pianist but who is rapidly taking his place as the. foremost American composer, although still young. He himself is a Virginian.
 The reason for the change of pro- gram lies in the fact that since Mon days announcement MT. Powell has told MT. Stoeckel that the overture was ready, and MT. Stoeckel had promised to have it played in concert as soon as Mr. Powell finished it. In spite &6Fz the extra cost Nr. and MFs. Sepec Eef'will produce. 1t on. the sec ond nightsSf the concert, June 9:1!s.
 This nnformatisn was given <byF ,a person in the close confidence of MTR .Stoeckel. When asked if it had any bearing on the controversy with the Musicians union, he replied, "None whatever"
 4" Tt means, then, that MT. Stoeckel is more anxious to produce artistic work than the union is to stop it?"
 "That is exactly what it means," was the reply.
 Attention is called to the fact that there will be no trains for the pub lie this year to the Norfolk festival concerts. The only train will be for the use of the chorus who are actu- ally singing in the concerts and sno other passengers will be allowed on the concert trains.
 Holders of invitations are request ed to be in their seats in the shed promptly at 7 80 each evening. After this hour no one will be conducted to seat until the intermission, which occurs one hour later.
 No horses or automobiles will be allowed on the grounds, with the ex- ception of those used by the solo artists.

Men Teachers Only

There will be no women teachers at the Bulkely high school in New London.

The wom- en teachers to be replaced are Miss Irene Zahn, Miss Clementina John son and Miss Myra Cross. Homer K.
