Students to Demand
Attitude of Respect
For School Stautary

The regular Friday morning as
sembly at Cony High school was
held under the direction of the COM
mittee which was appointed recent
ly to supervise the cleaning of the
statutary at the school building. The
speakers were Ida Drapkin, Robert
Leadbetter, and Imogene Sterling.
They spoke of the characters repre-
sented by this splendid collection of
statuary, of their place in history
and the appropriateness of having
them in the school. 1t was strongly
emphasized that the students should
be careful not to deface the sculp-
lures in any way or to allow others
to do so. Miss Sterling said, IRE
member the people these statues
represent and cherish the ideals that
made them famous"
There are some 20 pieces OF stat
uary in the building, most of which
were the gifts of different classes
at Freshman presentation, COM
mencement custom which has been
continued for more than a quarter
century. The statuary includes full
sized busts of Zeus, Athena, Diana.
Joan of Arc, Caesar, Cicero, Virgil,
Roosevelt, Lincoln, Washington,
| Franklin, Longfellow. and Milton.
The committee which has had
this work in charge consisted of
Miss Vickery, Miss Harrington of
the school faculty, and Robert Lee,
! William Weeks, Charles Bilodeau.
and Edward Robinson. Howard
Stiles, the president of the student
| council, had charge of the assembly.

The sum of $1,000 was voted on
Friday by the student body of Cony
High school for equipment for a new
gymnasium at the school provided
that at the city school meeting on
April 10 it should be voted to build
an addition, which should follow the
plans now drawn up and which
should include a gymnasium. The &C
ton was taken at the recommended
ton of the Student Council of which
which Howard Stiles is president.
and a resolution as follows was
adopted:
"Resolved that the students Of
Cony High School promise a sum of
money not to exceed $1,000 to equip
the gymnasium, provided it is voted
at the next city meeting to build an
addition according to the proposed
plans.
If the plans are carried out the
students will economiZe in every way
for the next two years in their attn
letic expenditures and engage in spe-
cial enterprises to raise this money
1t is expected that the money would
be expended over a period of two
years. In a measure the addition OF
the gymnasium would assist in the
payment of the students have voted
as it would eliminate the expense en-
tailed by the use of City Hall for
basketball games, which has been
found necessary as the assembly
hall, where games have been held In
the past is entirely too small for
this use.
AS a further mark of their inter-
est In the proposed addition the
Student Council has suggested to the
students that they attend the city
school meeting which takes place on
Monday evening, April 10.
The tentative plans, which were
drawn up by William G. Bunker, of
Bunker and Savage, architect. call
for a modern three story building to
be erected at the corner of Stone and
Cony streets, the two wings running
| in such a manner that the building
now used would be inclosed and in
corporated in the new structure. A
gymnasium So by 68 feet and an
auditorium capable of seating 1l0O
people would be features of this new
building, which would practically
double the present capacity of the
High School and would add ten class
rooms in the new parts beside gain
ing HNe CLASS ioollis IL! 'he new
wing of the present building, in the
part now taken up by the assembly
hall.
The project has been received fav-
orably by the ParentTeacher Asso-
citation of Cony High school, and a
committee of representatives from
the civic and service clubs and in
terested citizens are investigating
with a view to forwarding the pro-
gram in every way possible.

Grammar School
Pupils Reveal
knowledge Music

The Augusta Current Events Club
members enjoyed a delightful pro-
gram at their meeting on Friday at
ternoon, held at the home Of Mrs.
Stanley Manning on Capitol street.
An unusual and interesting feature
was a demonstration of familiarity
with fine music, conducted by MISS
Gertrude Thorne, music supervisor
in the public schools of the city. A
group of seven pupils from one of the
seventh grades at the William r.
Smith grammar school showed their
acquaintance with the best in music
by identifying some score of selec-
lions by famous composers when
played upon the victrola. Not only
were the young pupils able to cor
rectly identify the selections, but in
every instance they also named the
composer and his nationality.
Among the typical numbers identi-
fed in this extraordinary demonstra-
ton were the, Second Movement of
the Unfinished Symphony in b Min
or by Schubert; Minuet in G. by
Beethoven; Marche Slave, by Tsch-
aikowsky; and, several movements
from the Peer Gynt Suite by Grieg.
In a talk on music appreciation by
Miss Thorne, she spoke of the work
being done in the public schools
along this line and the great interest
manifest by the pupils in chorus and
orchestra work. The instruction in
music at Cony High school, said Miss
Thorne, is much handicapped because
of lack of proper room for drill and
rehearsal as the assembly hall
from necessity must be used for so
many school activities.
A paper on Famous Musicians"
was read by Mrs. Charles Horton,
which was also of interest and con-
siderable merit. Mrs. Manning
played a selection by Thurlow Lieu
rance, the Indian Rhapsody" on the
Ampico. Most delicious refreshments
We're served at the conclusion of the
exceptional program.

Mellon and President Coolidge

<3gs, 0O0. 900. The House went
above this figure by about $50, 000,-

approximately <I26s 600 900.

fears the Gsover4fiilt at viii show u

bonds to pay ordinary expenses.
This of course would increase the
national debt. which the AdmiHistra-
ton has been attempting to bring
down gradually.
Mellon. however. does not plan to
take any active steps TO obtain a
reduction. He feels that the re-
sponsibiIity rests with Congress
alone to determine the amount Of
tax reduction.
Because the Senate was con-

feel that any further advice from
