Although some Americans hate
to admit it, American composers
are rapidly coming to the fore in
the world Of music. Meredith VIII
son, popular radio conductor Of
the Pacific Coast, conducted the
premiere Of his Symphony No. /
in F Minor" with the San Fran
cisco Symphony Orchestra yeSter'
day afternoon accompanied by q
tremendous ovation.
The symphony is written on the
theme Of some Of the high lights
Of the history of San Francisco.
The first movement. in sturdy
brass passages depicts the spirit
Of the pioneer. The second move
ment, based on a theme SINH
lar to Sullivan's Lost Chord"
breathes the spirit Of the tempo
rary depression caused by the
earthquake and emissions the faith
and hope Of the future as the citi'
zens start to rebuild the city.
The t h / r d movement, the
Scherzo, Is filled with light dane
ing passages significant Of the
city in gay festive spirit. Without
pause, the fourth movement is
ushered in with a roll call on the
tympani cast in q more modern
vein picturing the rugged skyline
of the reborn city and the ma
chine age. In developing the final
movement the themes Of the pre-
ceding movements are neatly i'm
tertwined in a victorious climax.
The whole symphony is based on
tuneful melodies which are devel-
oped in harmonious structure
that do not overStep the bounds
of conservative tradition. We hope
to hear more of this great first"
symphony.

REPUBLICANS
FEAR TRICK BY
ROOSEVELT
By EARL GOODWIN

Many stories were printed ovel
the weekend about the PRESIDENT
travelling to Canada, to Texas, tt
Maine-to every part Of the
U. s. A.-but nobody even limited
when all this burst Of activity
would occur.
Reason: The President wants
to keep the Republicans on the
anxious seat because they are
quite sure he is going to fix things
so Congress will not adjourn until
after the Republican National
Convention at Cleveland, June 9.
The Republicans are worried
because they figure that with
Congress In Session, Administers
ton forces can rush through
something tricky in q political
way after the Republicans have
adopted their laundering plat
form and nominated Gov. Alfred
Landon Of Kansas.
- Trick Easy to Play
One does not need to be a poll
tician to see the chances Of a very
tricky play. The G. o. P. will go
to Cleveland where they will make
q final denunciation Of the RooSe-
welt Administration. It may have
something very good in it; some
thing so good that the Democrats
will wish they had thought Of IT..
Then, with Congress in session
and the Democrats all here and
the Republicans scattered, it S
more than likely the leaders
could cook up an antidote in the
way Of a needed law-and rush it
through.
There is possibility that the
President may find it politically
advisable to go far over to the left
and get through some of his sub.
stituteS for the defunct National
Recovery Administration or some
Of the other job-making stuff he
talked about to the Young Demo
Gratis in Baltimore.
The whole situation is having a
bad effect on many Republicans.
They appear to be suffering from
the Roosevelt filters.
Bound to Travel
The President certainly is going
to travel q lot before the middle
Of summer.
. Although he will not admit it
himself, it is getting to be every.
body'S secret that he is going to
Canada Is the guest of Governor
General Lord TweedSmuir. 1t
could be written down for future
reference that the President will
be in, Canada for a few days be-
ginning June 9-the day the G. o.
p. convention meets to arrange
to drive out the New Deal"
The President and the Governor
General Of Canada are good
friends, keep UP a lively CORE
spondence and are both extremely
interested In the good neighbor"
policy.
The Presidential trip plans also
include q Southern swing into
Texas and Arkansas and a speech
at VincenneS. Ind.

N orth Henderson New
School Represents Out

Guiding Furnishings
$15,O81 SPENT AT
SOUTH HENDERSON
Entire Amount, Including
Government Grant Of 80
Percent, Trifle Under
1926, 900; All New Build
ings Will Be Occupied
First Time This Fall

With the completion of the greatest
school building program in its history,
Henderson this fall has realized the
ambition of a generation. The con-
struction project made possible thro-
ugh government assistance in financ
ing, has resulted in a high school that
scarcely has an equal anywhere in the
State or elsewhere for a city the size
of this one, and has also brought a
new and much needed elementary
school plant at North Henderson and
the addition Of four rooms at South
Henderson.
The high school alone was erected
at cost Of $268, SIT, Including the site
and the equipment as well as the
building itself. The North Henderson
project represents an investment of
$36,St8, including the building and
furnishings and the lot at figure of
$4,000. The additions at South Hen
derson cost $15,081, including $4,000
for the building itself, $557 for the
plumbing and $1624 for the heating.
The entire outlay, greatest in the
history of the city school system is a
trifle under $4,000. Thirty percent of
that, or 100000 in round figures, was
direct grant, or donation, byt the
Federal government, the remainder
representing bonded obligations Of the
county
All of the new buildings will be oc-
cupied for the first time this fall. The
school term is to get under way on
Thursday of this week, September
II, when many pupils entering classes
will occupy buildings that are spic
and span and never before used for
any purpose whatsoever.
For many years Henderson has
greatly needed an adequate high
school, and has been forced to grad
uate it's children from school In a
building that has been congested to
the point almost of reducing the eff
ficiency and capacity Of both faculty
anu pupils alike.
The old high school building, which
stands at the corner of Young and
Chestnut streets, is to be converted
into a junior high school this year
and from this time on, and will fur
nish accommodations for all sixth and
seventh grade pupils in the city. That
will greatly relieve the congestion in
the other schools, particularly at Cen
trail. 1t will also ease the congestion
at West End and at Clark street.
With the completion of the new
high school, Henderson now has a
total of seven schools for white chill
dren and two for colored, the greatest
and most adequate facilities in it's
history.

A year ago the investment in school
property in the city of Henderson and
in Vance county was $112O347, of
which S431 1893 was in the rural COM
munities and $688, 454 in the city, in
Guiding the new construction pro-
gram. This valuation has not changed
substantially either up or down since
that appraisal was made, Superinten-
dent f.. NJ. Rollins said today.
During the 1886 school year the
total enrolment in the white and col
ored schools of the city and county
was 1914. OF this total, 1858 were in
the city schools, including 2,4OO white
and 1,463 colored children. The rural
enrolment consisted of 1857 white
and 2,084 colored, or a total of 4,041
Exclusive of administrative person
mel, but including principals, there
were a total of 202 teachers during
the 1885 term. The city faculty
total included SO white and SO cDlored
teachers. In the rural schools there
were 81 white and 46 colored faculty
members. The total in the city was
IS and in the rural schools 1O7. The
figures are from the records in the
office of the superintendent.
Included in the valuation for city
school property was the cost of the
new school building program, with
S268,517 for the new high school, $780,
1913 at the North Henderson new
school, and $15081 for the additions
made at South Henderson.
The new fall term for the schools
will start on Thursday of this week,
September II. Faculty meetings will
be held tomorrow, with pupils re-
porting Thursday for registration,
Friday for the assignment of lessons
and on Monday for the start of class
room work in earnest.
School authorities have made Ella
borate preparations for the start of
the term, and within the past few
weeks most of the schools have been
renovated, with painting, restoration
of plastering and plumbing repairs
made where needed. What may be the
best year in the history of the schools
is anticipated. 1t is expected that the
total enrolment for the year will be
probably the largest in the history of
the county.

Growth and expansion of its volume
of business has necessitated a pro
gram Of enlargement and remodeline
of the Henderson post office. anc
that work is now under way
Only last week the post office quar-
tiers were transferred to a temporary
building on East Montgomery street
SO that contractors would be free to
proceed with the enlargement and re-
modelling program.
New York concern has been
awarded the contract for the lob by
the Treasury Department in Wash

100000 is +. be made oy the govern
.ment in providing Henderson with
greater and more adequate postal
facilities.
The building is to be enlarged by
about ore-half it's present size. All of
the present building is to be remodel
ed and painted and modernized
throughout. New lock boxes are to be
installed, including larger drawers
than any of those in the present
structure, and much larger lobby is
to be provided. And, too, an enlarged
work space in the interior is also to
be arranged for

The temporary quarters are in q

The new building program is ex

to year, an it will probably be about
the middle of the summer in 1893
when the enlarged structure can bt

expected to be adequate for the city's
