which made their songs really en-
ioyable.
Miss Whiteman's soprano voice is
strong but of very sweet quality of
tone. Miss Rogers possesses Gear,
pleasing contralto of wide range. Es-

William Orth played the accompani-
ments in the sympathetic and confident
manner of the artist.
Piano numbers were played by
Elizabeth Phillips, pupil of Franz OAR

Mrs. ]. C. Phillips. Many Phoenix
people have witnessed the progress of
this young girl, who is distinctly a
product of the Arizona School of Mu-

Another feature of the program was
the reading by Kathryn Ludden, pupil
of Mrs. Dwight Earl Easley, whose
pleasing voice and stage presence, to-
gether with a most attractive person

grams, and these events will be looked
forward to with interest.

SCHOOL CHILDREN
PRESENT TABLEAUS
Of AMERICAN LIFE

Starting with a prologue and tabieau
showing the landing of the Pilgrims,
and going on through the most import
ant episodes of American history, the
pupils of the Monroe school last night
presented, to a splendid audience, what
was declared to be one of the most
pleasing entertainments of it's kind
even given in Phoenix.
Dainty programs printed by the stu
dents themselves, proclaimed that "A
Pageant of History in two acts and
seven scenes would be shown. The
curtains drew back from a group of
Puritans kneeling on the ground, while
one of the students recited THE Land
ing of the Pilgrims" Next was shown
an Indian pow-wow with all the actors
in full war paint and blankets. To
this came a messenger telling of seeing
great ships with wings like birds, and
driven by men whose faces were paint
ed white. He was at first derided, but
the Big Chief upheld his statements
and the tribe started out to greet the
visitors and bid them welcome. The
third scene showed the Pilgrims sing
ing song of thanksgiving to the God
who had brought them safely through
their troubles.
Act opened with tableau of THE
Spirit of &c" the drummer boys and
standard bearer bringing a storm OF
applause from the house.
Scene 2 of this act was a garden
party of Washington's day, a lovely
little colonial dame receiving all the
important personages of that time, in
Guiding Alexander Hamilton, BENJAMIN
Franklin, Marquis de Lafayette and
George and Martha Washington
After all the guests had been received
and presented to each other a graceful
minuet was danced by eight boys and
girls. This brought so much applause
| that they were compelled to give ar
encore.
Scene 3, the climax of the perform

Small Thing in Com
paris0n.
(By The Associated Press.)

Geneva, March 14-The ascent Of Mt
Everest which is to be undertaken mex
year by an expedition headed by Sil
Francis YOunghusband, is impractical
Bile for many years at least, in the
opinion of Henry F. Montagnier, OF
Terre Haute, Ind. well known noun
tain climber. Mr.. Montagnier has
made many ascents in the Himalayas
the Rockies and the European Alps
and has attained the highest attitudes
He is now at Champery, Switzerland
His opinion of the difficulty of
ascending the highest peak in the
world is shared by some other interna.
tional expert Alpine climbers but there
are others among them who disagree
with him.
II should have no hesitation in pre-.
dieting that Everest will certainly not
be conquered by the first party that
makes the attempt" said Mr.. Mon
tagnier. In my opinion it will take
years. each party prOfting by the ex-
perience acquired by its predecessors
and each gaining thousand or more
feet on the previous record.
"Onc thing is certain. and that is
that the conquest of the highest peak
in the world will he far in the way
the most terrific test of endurance
human beings have ever undergone.
The journey to the North or South
Poles. as far as physical effort and
moral courage are concerned would be
mere child's play compared with the
ascent of mountain more than $4,000
feet high.
whether it is possible for man to
attain an altitude of 29.14O feet on the
earth's surface without the aid OF an
airplane is question which, to my
mind. can only be solved by actual
experience. The highest altitude yet
attained is about 24.6OO feet"
