Fine Game--Briefs.

| The Broad street school orchestra
gave its first concert outside the
school this afternoon when 1t played
before the assembly at the high
| school. While this group OF young
musicians had played on two &C.
casions within the walls Of their
own building, they had not shown
their ability before strange audi
ences until today. The program
which they offered was opened with
The Soldiers March," by Schu-
mann. played by the entire orches-
ira. Schumann's Merry Farm fol-
lowed, after which the four leaders
played Little Romance THE
Sailors Song" of Grieg completed
the program.
The orchestra Is composed Of pu-
pills IN the sixth, seventh and eighth
grades and is under the direction of
Miss Louise Cottle, supervisor of
music in the local schools. The
young musicians are Wilhelmina
Strunz, James Lee. Vinton Earl and
Raymond Neri, first violins: Albert
Datoli, Norris Greene, Melvin Had
field and Sanford Birnbaum, second
violins; John ODea, Edward Bergen
and Robert Calvert, third violins;
Emma Tellecchia, William Sneide-
man and Paul De Zenga, fourth vio-
Inns: and Evelyn Parsons, piano.
School Cesspool Backs Lp
A cesspool at the Broad street
school has filled and back flowed
again, causing considerable trouble
and nuisance at the school. This
occurrence has been a regular one
during recent winters when the frost
hardens the ground and has result
cd In a great deal of added expense
to the school department. In the
present case the cesspool which was
the cause Of the trouble was not
shown on any plans of the building
, and 1t was necessary to dig in sew
eral places before locating. 1t was
found filled, and a new one has been
dug, stoned up, and separated from
/ the other one by thing.
The frequent recurrence OF cess
pool troubles at the school have
shown the need Of sewers in Plain
Vile. Hardly a winter has gone by
without further difficulty, in spite
of constant attempts to settle the
| problem at least semi permanently.
While these pools may be able to
| handle the sewage from houses fair
( ly we'll, they cannot take care of the
large volume from public buildings
in anything like an adequate fash
| ion, and the nuisance in the school
will not be ended until a modern
sewerage system is Installed.
