High School Auditorium
a Success
a SUCCESS

The vocal aid instrumental concert
given on Wednesday evening, February
I'd, for the benefit of Trinity Lutheran
Church, as a contribution toward the
new parsonage fund, was well attended
and proved to be one of the most In
teresting events of our winter season.
Miss Marie Huppert, contralto; Do
menico Bove, vio'inist, and Frederick
Rauser, pianist and sccompanist, were
the artists who contributed their serv-
ices in a good cau-e. Miss Huppert is
a resident of Wild wood, and the two
men were members OF Mr.. Pfeiffer's
municipal orchestra at Wildwood last
summer. The entertainment was
planned and conducted to a successful
end by Miss Huppert, the vocal soloist
of the occasion. After paying all ex-
penses about 800 was netted for the
parsonage fund.

Chautauqua People Bring
Two Fine Lecturers
TO Wildwood

In point of tickets sold the entertain
ments given at Wild wood this week by
the Swarthmore Chautauqua Associa-
ton are said by the travelling supeTin-
tendent to be the most successful on
this circuit, which comprises several
States, extending from Canada to the
south of New Jersey. Over $50 tickets
were sold at 81. 5 each, admitting the
holder to each of the six entertain
ments on Monday, Tuesday and We'd
nesday. While the musical features
could be improved upon, the lectures
by DR.. Parker and Chancellor Bradford
were most excellent, and the large
audiences listened to them most atten-
lively. DR.. Parker's lecture on Russia
was delivered by a man who had lived
in Petrograd and became acquainted
with the Russian people. But it was
Chancellor Bradford's lecture that was
appreciated most, because of the infiu-
ence for good it may have upon the
youth of Wildwood. He told of a
young man who left the farm to get a
college education. The boy got up be.
fore daylight, and his father drove him
to the station many miles away, put
him on the cars and gave him So. 25, all
the money be had. The boy worked
his way through college and graduated.
He shoveled snow, tended to the college
heater, and drove the carriage OF a
millionaire In a Western town Of 100, 900
population. That boy was the speaker,
Mr. Bradford. He told how men of
big business send out their agents 10
seek young men, and said some day
such a man would get off the train at
Wild wood and walk the streets looking
for prospects, but he said he would moi
pick the boys seen loafiDg at the street
corners, smoking cigarettes, but II
would be some boy that was busy q
his studies or engaged in some kind o
useful work. The speaker had q com
manding personality and spoke with
, grace that charmed the audience. A
the very beginning of his lecture MI
Bradford told OF his recollection Of,
| geography OF his school days, whicl
showed Atlas carrying the world OF
I his shoulders. Perhaps some of tn
JOURNAL readers remember that pic
: ture. He said that America was Il
!. that position to-day, because of the in
f~iuence this country exerted in worl
affairs. 1t is a responsibility that Id
United States cannot shirk, because {

queried Mr.. Eachus. THAT could be
done" answered the mayor. 1.-THE
money can be raj ed for that purpose.
There is an appropriation of SIS. 600 for
board walk purposes already provided
in the 1921 budget" This ended the
quizziDg of the mayor. The opinion
has been expressed that for the sum Of
5000 the old board walk decking could
ue replaced, and that it would be money
well spent. The expenditure of this
amount Of money would give us a tenn
porary walk for the summer. and tide
us over until such time as we are pre-
pared TO build a new walk, sixty feet
wide and constructed of the very b st
material. 1t would seem to be q far
better proposition to repair the old walk
for temporary use for u more season
than to have no walk at all from Lin
coin to Montgomery avenues, a distance
of eve squares, or approximately
three-quarters Of a mile. Nothing can
be done until the court decision is
handed down. At that time somebody
will get busy. Adjourned, 2.12.

After the COMMISSIONER meeting
had adjourned, a meeting Of the Board
of School Estimate was held. This
board consists of five members, the
three commissioners and Two mem
bers from the Board of Education. e.
T. Nye and Lemuel Garrison are the
TWO present school board members on
the Board of Scht oil Estimate. Secre-
taTy Todd, OF the school board, read
the resolution If that body fixing the
sam Of $6I ,955 q the amount Of money
needed Tor school purposes in 1921.
The appropriation last year, including
bonuses, was $685. The reason the
budget is not higher this year is ac-
counted for because the charge for tut
tion to North Wildwood and Wild
wood Crest pupils has been doubled.
Secretary Todd was understood to say
that the receipts by the school board
from these sources will be over SIS 200
this year.
