UNDER THE PERSONAL DIRECT
ION OF PHYSICAL INSTRUCT
OR, MRS. G. R. SHUCK.
AUDIENCE APPLAUDS
One Hundred And Forty-Four Child
ren Who Paritcipated in Demon
stration With Exceeding Grace.
Last evening, before the largest
and most enthusiastic audience ever
seated in spacious Red Men’s Hall,
Ketchikan school children presented
a very interesting program. All
classes participated, including 144
pupils, who skillfully demonstrated
the wide range of the American
system of physical development
adapted from the German and Swed
ish systems, giving a splendid ex
ample of what can be done >n the
nature of physical training
Dr. B. L. Myers made a splendid
opening address on the subject of
“School Athletics” and among his
many interesting remarks, said that
athletics, among the thinking people,
was no longer a luxury but a neces
sity for our well being, mentally as
well as physically. He finished his
address with an illustrative story
that put the audience in a state of
good humor and anticipation.
The program was then started and
from the first number to the last
it was one big success after an
other, and the participants must
have felt fully compensated for
their labors by the ovation they re
ceived. Each group of numbers by
the different grades in turn is wor
thy of special mention, but as the
program was a lengthy one, space
forbids. Be it said, however, that
each boy and girl did his and her
part very well,
The first number by the tiny
maids in the doll drill was adorable
“I See You” by the first, the rib
bon and shoemakers dance by the
third, and “Did You See a Lassie”
by the second were all lovely. The i
dancers were all fjuite perfect in |
their different dances, though the
intermediates in "Bleking” were
perhaps the best, in their wild and
lithsome grace of movements, and
the audience would , not be still un
til the dance was repeated- The
Highland Fling and the Tarantella
by the Grammer school girls, and
the Kamarinskaia by the high school
girls were all exceptionally dainty
and gracefully done and elicited
much admiration from the audience.
Honors W'ere carried off by the
boys who took part in the wand
drill of twenty-one movements and
those in the Indian club wrill of 24|
movements, some of which were dif
ficult and a great test in concen
tration- The boys made a nice ap
pearance and did splendid work.
Miss Nora Ross is a favorite who
is always heat-d with pleasure, and
in her selection last night. “The
Death Disk,” contributed much to
the entertainment.
Much praise is due to Osborne
Williams for his efforts in directing
ar.d organizing the High School
orchestra, whch did remarkably well ;
considering that it was organized j
less than a month ago.
Owing to the faithful assistance j
of the pianist, Miss Dorothy Mich- !
ener, and Miss Alice Kincaid, who
was in charge of the phonograph,
everything went without a hitch, as
both these clever musicians timer j
the music with the exercises in a
creditable manner.
Mr. Williams and Miss Martha ;
Fossness contributed with two splen [
did selections on the Xylophone ane |
piano which were very pleasing in j
deed
Too much cannot be said in praise |
of Mrs- Shuck’s work, the results of j
which was so charmingly shown in |
FOOD WASTE.
(Kansas City Star.)
Senator Reed Smoot told the Unit
ed States senate last week that the
American garbage can was the
fattest in all the world- He v-s
urging the passage of a bin ;o ;■
propriate money to teach -»iaeiku..
girls to cook and to save in the kit
chen. American women are waste
ful and extravagant, he said.
“Tens of thousands of homes are
ruined by ignorant housekeepers,"
he exclaimed. “No women on .he
face of the earth are so was* ”ul
as American women, and the er
age American hbusewife i. >ws
enough food into the garbage can
to keep an average workingman’s
family in France or Germany, where
the most rigid economy is observ
ed.” ;[((
It is not only in the garbage can
that food bought with money corned
by the husband’s toil is wasted. A
German who came to America ' i ob
serve things here wrote i; con
demnation of the frying pan found
in every American kitchen. He said
that a large part of the average
workman’s money sticks to the bot
tom o*f the pan in which the nightly
chops and steaks are fried. He con
trasted this wasteful way of fry
ing meats into indigestible masses
of food with the covered pot that
simmers on the slow fire hour after
hour and has preserved the health
and filled the savings banks of
Germany and France.
Away with the frying pan, and
bo watchful of what goes into the
garbage cans is the advice of lead
ing home economists
last night's performance, aside from
the benefit that each child has de
rived physically and mentally. Taken
by and large the entertainment was
one of the most successful ever giv
en in this city and reflects great
credit on Mrs. Shuck, who has ac
complished marvels in the 4 months
in which she has taught the school
cildren here
The entertainment was a credit
to the Ketchikan Lyceum and its
fifth number
SPLENDID SOLOISTS
APPEAR IN OPERA
EXCELLENT VOICES TO BE
HEARD IN MIKADO PRO
DUCTION.
As the rehearsals for the comic
opera, “Mikado,” progress they be
come more and more interesting
and the thirty or more local sing
ers engaged in the pproduction look
forward to each evening’s rehearsal
and the new developments that wilL
be worked out in the way of dra
matic work. . .
Since the principals have had a
partial dress rehearsal and their
pictures taken in their various cos
tumes it has added new interest
awls*vim to the practices and each
is trying to becoiap letter perfect
in their part
Of course it would not be a
comic opera without a love story in
the plot; and as usual this falls
to the lot of the tenor and soprano
Few voices could be found to so
well sing the beautiful lyric solos
of Yum Yum, 'as Mrs- Carl Collins
and her rendition of the song “The
Sun and I,” is beautiful indeed
The tenor role is excellently hand
led by Mr. Theodore Brown and
his robust tenor is equal to - the
jolly and martial songs of his first
solo, and equally pleasing in the
love duels with Yum Yum.
NanJ:i Poo is really a difficult
tenor role and Mr. Brown could not
be excelled in its interpretation.
The experience he had in the
tenor role of Pinafore and Queen
Esther is helping him to make a
success of this more difficult part
The date of the production has
been set for Monday and Tuesday,
May 22 and 23.

GAVE PASTOR PLOT IN
GRAVEYARD AS GIFT
The Rev. T. C. Easton, the octo
genarian pastor cf Spotswood, N.
J., Reformed Church, is unable to
decide whether he should register
gratitude or indignation these days
For some time, there has been dis
cension in his ^pastorate- Some of
his flock have insisted that their
pastor, who was once sued by Olga
Nethersole for $50,000 because of
his criticism of her “Sapho," was
getting too old to relnain an active
minister.
For a month or more Easton’s
church has been divided into two
factions. The other night peace
was declared and the warring fac
tions celebrated the occasion by
offering a gift to the parson.
J. Y. Wan Dike, one of those
who has advocated his retirement
made the presentation address. Then
the grateful congregation bestowed
upon its pastor in recognition of
his long services a nice green plot
in the local cemetery, all for his
very own
