To the Editor Of Tie Star:
For wears there has been discussion
In the public press and in the pubic
associations and assemblages Oh
Washington of the urgent need OF
a large auditorium and other struc-
lures for popular use. Upon this sub
iect there. can he no difference OF
opinion. Has not the time come for
ending discussion and spaSmodlc ac-
ton, and for the entire community
to take hold and by organization and
unity of purpose and actoh put IL
through?
1t would be unwise to undertake to
carry out a project of this character
unless it is done on scale of mag
nificence worthy of all the objects in
view. 1t would involve the e1pendi-
ture of millions: but there are so
many ways of raising money that IT
public spirit is thoroughly aroused 1t
should not be a difficult task.
Washington already is recognized
as one of the most beautiful and at
tractive capitals in the world. If a
scheme of the character suggested
can be successfully carried out. and
there is no insurmountable reason
WHY it should not. Washington can
have what no other capital. ancient
or modern. has possessed. and which
would be considered one of the Won
ders of the world.
Ample Grounds Needed.

Commencement
The Largest Ever
High School Graduates Showed
What They Learned TO a
Large Audience

The Tabernacle was filled last Tues
day evening with a thousand children
and parents who greatly appreciated
the graduating exercises of the Penns
Grove High School and the fascinating
play drill of the Grammar School
pupils.
The building was ta~stefully decor
ated with flags and the crepe of pur-
pie and gold, the class colors. Over
the stage was the class motto, "PuSh,
Pluck, Perseverance" The program
published last week was carried out
with out a break or a halt.
The salutatory and valedictory adj
dresses are of superior merit, because
of their practibility, concise and terse
compositions. They appear on page 3.
The demonstration in stenography
by the five graduates in the m
cial curse gave the large congrega-
ton a view of how short hand is writ
ten, which few had even seen before.
Four wrote on a black board while
others wrote on paper from ~dictation,
then read what they wrote.
The first aid demonstration by
Edith P. Sparks and Orrin Viele show
ed the practical health instructions
now taught in our schools. The dem
~onstration was how a broken arm and a
broken jaw should be bandaged. Miss
Sparks spoke exceptionally clear and
distinct of the operation while Mr..
Viele wrapped the bandages. This
was only an example Of many others
taught.
The amusing part of the program
was the prophecy and presentation of
unique mementos by Esther H.
White, the speaker, assisted by Ralph
D. Justice.
Julia Thompson was to become a
poet.
Katie Keen was to become a Demo-
cratic candidate for Congress on a
platform to enforce prohibition.

The physical exercise at play drill
was perfect and pretty. 1t was the
same which won the County prize.
County Superintendent of Schools
presented the diplomas to the fifteen
High School graduates and the fifty
three Grammar School graduates.
The exercises and demonstrations
were creditable exhibitions of the
school work, creditable not only to the
scholars but also the efficiency of the
teachers who have given super-servlce.
The graduating class will leave next
Monday morning to spend a week IN
Washington, D. c., and environments.
