DR.. Losey in Shepherdstown.

DIR. Frederick d. Losey, OF New York,
spent Monday and Tuesday in Shep-
herdstown and made four appearances
in the Shepherd College auditorium.
In our opinion, his strongest presenta-
ton was his delineation OF the char
acters Of Macbeth in his lecture Mon
day afternoon. II was superb revela-
ton Of motive and action and gave an
insight into the real meaning Of
Shakespeare's great tragedy such as our
people have probably never had be-
fore. Monday night he gave Macbeth
in full, reading the great play in mas
terly style. Tuesday afternoon was
given to an Interpretation OF poetry and
literature that was greatly enjoyed.
Tuesday night he had for his subject
George Bernard Shaw's new play,
"Back to Methuselah." He read the
first two acts, and gave most interest
ing outline Of this much discussed pro-
duction.
DR.. Losey is a brilliant scholar and
interpreter, and we have seldom known
a man who held his audience to such
absorbed attention. There was nothing
light or superficial about his presenta-
tfons, yet the interest never tagged for
a moment. He gave us something to
think about-we want to hear him
again.

New Postmaster Named.

C.. S. Musser, publisher Of the lnde..
pendent, the Republican newspaper OF
this place, has been nominated as the
next postmaster for Shepherdstown, his
name having been sent to the Senate
by President Harding on Tuesday. He
will succeed Postmaster A. S. Lucas,
whose term expired March 9th. Ii is
presumed that the nomination will
be promptly confirmed, and Mr. Musser
will take charge as soon as the details
can be arranged. II Mr.. Musser shall

We Must Have n High School.

The people OF Shepherdstown are un-
der the painful necessity Of establish
high school, Shepherd College State
Normal School has in the past years
provided facilities Of this sort and no
necessity for a high school here ex-
lsted. Under new regulations of the
State Board OF Education, however, the
normal school no longer takes care or
this class OF students, and SO we must
provide high school on our own ac-
count. There is no getting around the
necessity. III we do not establish o
high school here, students of the dis
trict have the right to go some place
else where there Is such a school ami
charge the bill to us. Obviously il is
better for us to provide our own IA
cillties and educate our own children.
There will be no necessity for erect
ing new building for a year or two
The high school must be established
at once, but the State Board OF Edu-
cation is willing that for the present
We may use the old college building
for this purpose. We will therefore
have time to look around a bit and
make deliberate preparations for the
construction OF new building.
The board Of education of Shepherds
town district has figured out that to
provide furniture, books and apparatus
and to pay the expenses Of the first year
Of the high school will require S7,75O.
An election authorizing the necessary
expenditures has been called for May
9th. There's nothing to do but vote
for the proposition-let'sd do it unami-

A brief session was held Tuesday
morning, but adjournment was made
until afternoon, as the judge was not
ready to pass on the demurrer 10 the
indictment. At 2 o'clock court recon-
vened. In an exhaustive statement
Judge Woods overruled the demurrer.
Following this there was legal sparring
over the order Of further proceedings.
Although the defense had lost on the
demurrer decision, il won victory IN
securing an order that the prosecu-
ton file a bill OF particulars, showing

During one of these evening con-
certs on a certain occasion there was
a terrible discord. Captain Criswell
gave the nod to Assistant Rickard to
keep the music going, and made an
investigation. Suddenly he whackea
one of the tooters across the head with
his cornet, regardless OF the damage
to that instrument. No wonder his ire
was aroused. The young man had been
playing his horn for dear life and using
the bass drum score OF an entireiy
different selection!
