The Public Will SIIE majority members of the Indianapolis school board should be very thankful to the alert citizens and the real estate board for advice concerning the site for the new Shortridge High School. It is to be presumed that these members have no other interest or purpose than protecting the interests of the public schools. It is to be presumed that these gentlemen are inspired only with a desire to put into effect what the parents of children, the taxpayers who pay the bills, and the whole citizenship desire. It is not often that a public body is able to secure advice, suggestion and direction from those they serve and when this occurs, real public servants welcome the opportunity of giving to the people who elected them what i he people desire. • Six' years ago the school board bought a five-acre tract of land on Thirty-Fourth St. between Meridian and Pennsylvania Sts. as a site for a badly needed new Shortridgc High School. Two years ago, architects started on plans for the new building. When the old board went out of office the first of the year everything was ready to start construction of the new buildiDg. Meanwhile, the old Shortridge building at Pennsylvania and Michigan Sts. had been sold with an agreement to give the new purchasers possession of the property Jan. 1, 1929. This, briefly' is the history of the Shortridge movement up to the first of this year. The principal fact which must not be lost sight of is that the present Shortridge High School plant is housing almost 1,000 more pupils than its normal capacity. Indianapolis must have anew high school and it must have it at the earliest possible moment. Every day of delay means that more pupils are being deprived of the opportunity of attending school under decent conditions. The plans of the old school board for a new building on the Thirty-Fourth St. site met with no opposition. There never was a suggestion that some other site should be chosen. The Thirty-Fourth St. property is in the heart of the north side, it is sufficiently large for tho purpose for which it was intended, and, above all, it has adequate transportation facilities so that pupils may reach the school with the least amount of time and difficulty, The new board insists on abandoning this location and building anew Shortridge at Forty-Sixth St. and Central Ave. The single reason for the change thus far advanced is that the new site is larger than the old one. Just why a larger site should be necessary is not clear. It is to be hoped that the school board does not make the same mistake a previous board made when it developed Technical High ehool. Indianapolis wants no more big high chools. The need of this city is for more small high schools that can be easily and quickly reached by pupils in the various sections of tho city. Easy access to school buildings is a duty to the pupils and especially children from homes where the matter of carfare may mean difference between opportunity for an education and leaving school. There are many families, and these families form the very foundation of all our future, where carfare for one or two pupils of high school age is an impossible barrier to their attendance. These are the boys and girls who, if given

a chance, will furnish leadership, for they come from families in which the old traditions of home, thrift, common sacrifice still obtain. It may make little difference to those who can amply afford to pay this added tax or furnish a chauffeur for an automobile whether a school is two blocks or four miles away from their homes. It does make a rekl difference to the family which must count each penny if the father who toils and the mother who sacrifices give their children the advantages of the whole public school system. The school board should and must consider these families and these conditions. The graceful, decent and wise thing for tho school boa-rd would be to heed the advice so generously and emphatically given them by the citizens directly affected and put that school where the people wish it built. Certainly they can not be in doubt as to the public will. There should be no hesitation in following it. Cautious or Foolish? iToTjUEN Martin Sheets, a very rich man of IW) Terre Haute, thought that he was about to die, he had a telephone and electric lights installed in the vault to which his lifeless clay would be consigned. Very carefully he designed all the details by which, if a miracle should happen and he should suddenly awaken from his sleep, he might summon the outside world to come to his rescue. He had lived not only in the fear of being buried alive, blit with the hope that the doctors might be wrong. He carried with him continually the desire to live just a little longer. Not such an unusual desire, that hope of longer life; only his method was different. How much longer might he have lived had he spent the time in which he worried over being buried alive in trying to devise means not to die? How much would you give were you able to so arrange to come back to this old world after the minister had pronouncctf your eulogy and rites have been performed by sorrowing friends? No one has yet been able to accomplish that but eVery one may postpone the hour of death by years if they begin in timo. That time is when you are a boy or girl by building up a strong body through healthful exercise and the avoidance of dissipation and bad habits. You can prolong it even more if in the mature portion of your life, you follow a regular routine of sensible diet, for it is an old truism that many men dig their graves with their teeth. Most of us eat too much and the wrong kind of food. Most of us neglect the strength and life that comes from fresh air and sunshine and many more are shortening their lives through harboring the very fear that this man had, which is the fear of death. Had he put his mind upon living instead of dying the chances are that those electricians who installed the lights above his casket would have been doing much more useful work. More people are really dead while still walking about the streets than are buried alive. The big fear should be that you die spiritually and mentally before your heart ceases to beat. That is tragedy.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES,

Elisabeth Rethberg, Opera Star, Will Make Her First Appearance Here Sunday

|rp I HE Metropolitan Opera star, I Elisabeth Rethberg, who is 1 Ito appear at the Murat under the management of One. B. Talbot Sunday afternoon, has had a very Interesting career as singer. She says that when she was not yet able to talk and only a little 'over 1 year old she was able to hum a tune and carry it well and In time. One would have thought that a child showing such promise at that early age would have been pushed and encouraged by its parents, but Miss Rethberg's parents would have nothing of this and always took their time. When Miss Rethberg was old enough to have singing teachers she Invariably chose her own Instructors —often disregarding herJ parents’ wishes In the matter. Miss Rethberg claims that she always seemed to feel or sense, as "if by intuition, when a teacher was helping or hurting her voice. ; Miss Rethberg made her original operatic debut in tho Dresden Hofoper In 1915, as Arsena in Johann Strauss’ “Zigerunerharon.” It was one of those lucky times In the dramatic life of the opera singer. The singer who was to have taken part fell sick, and by good luck Miss Rethberg chanced to be her understudy., and scored her first great success. From then on the uphill pull for Miss Rethberg was easier, until today she stands among those at the head of her profession. In both concert work and In the opera. Her most recent achievement was her debut with the Revlna Opera Company In Chicago during the last sum mer season. Here she won acclaim from both critics and audiences Rliko. She made a tremendous hit. •• • y OROBABLY no chamber music organization ever received so . many requests for return engagements , during the first three years of its touring career as have come to the management of The ! String Quartet. This splendid ensemble Included many of the largest clubs and colleges in its Itinerary last season, and among Its re-en-gagements already announced are, Yale. Princeton, Harvard and Columbia Universities. In a number of I cities through the east the quartet Is playing Its third annual engagement. ! Return .engagements through the middle-west Include the University !of Minnesota at Minneapolis, the | Fortnightly Music Club .at St. Joseph ,Mo., the Women's Music Club at Dayton, Ohio, etc. Referring to their appearance In Dayton, last March, the Dayton Daily News said. “The Lenox String Quartet, from New York, furnished a series of thrills by Its superb playing”— and concluded with the statement that “The concert was a complete success and placed the Dayton Women's Music Club on a higher plane than ever before.” At St. Joseph, Mo., the chairman of the Fortnightly Cluh wrote thR her audience re-engaged the quartet before the concert was hal over. The St. Joseph News Press wrote. "The program was an achieement of the first magnitude. The four artists who comprise the quartet play with a unity that seemingly could not be surpassed. It Is aboslute. They have attained the heights of artistic development and Interpretation." Concerning their appearance in Superior, Wls., the Superior Sunday Times said, “Never has a Superior audience listened to r more delightful concert than that given by The Lenox String Quartet. Such ensemble playing Is rarely heard and It is to be hoped we will have more frequent opportunities In the future.” The Superior Telegram said, “The four musicians, gathered from almost the four corners of the earth, have attained an Integrity of Interpretation and feeling In their ensemble playing which Is probably unexcelled. There is majesty and soul In every tone.” 'rie quartet will be presented by the Matinee Music&le next Thursday afternoon at the Masonic Temple. • • • rT"I NNOUNCEMENT 1* made toJ/\| day of a special production Jto be given by the Indianapolis Matinee Musical© on the evening of April 7, at the Masonic Temple, corner Illinois and North Sts.

Famous jCompo*ers Gaetano Donizetti f n IONIZETTI, an Italian operatic composer, was born jL/ [ in 1797. He studied at the local conservatory under Mayr, Salari and Gonzalez and later went to Bologna for instruction under famous teachers. Ilis first opera, “Enrico di Borgogna,” was written in 1819 and won almost immediate success. After that, he wrote about three operas a year and soon threatened the supremacy of his rival, Itossini. Donizetti took particular pains with his “Anna Bolena,’’ which appeared in 1830, and this success marked the beginning of more serious work on his part. “L’Elisir d’Amore,” a comic opera .written in 1832, brought him added fame. The well-known “Lucia di Laraniermoor” appeared in 1835, and f-om then on, he re- * mained the undisputed master of the Italian stage and WB3 acclaimed over all Europe. His writings for the French stage were enormously successful, and following this he was showered with royal honors. Amid this unexampled series of honors, his mind gave way and tfc last four years of his life ho was insane. He died in 1843, having completed seventy operas.

Little Theatre Gives Fine ~n Performance of ‘Everyman’

By John T. IJawkins i A truly exquisite performance marked the presentation last night i of “Everyman” at the Playhouse of the Little Theatre Society of Indiana. Every action and word of the players waa eloquent testimony to ; the work and energy that had been j put into the production. It was in fact a fitting tribute to the fine new | homo that is now the playhouse of ! this sincere and hard-working local ! group. - “Everyman,” for those who are j unfamiliar with the play. Is a deeply religious account of the thing that must come to everyone, to "Everyman.” It deals graphically with the summons of death. Strength Is laid on the fact that once the mortal body is quiet everything is gone. Strength, worldly goods, beauty and knowledge are no more of use to the man who has heard the last call of the Maker. None but his good deeds may accompany him Into that mystic realm beyond and . rve him in the life to come. It is a moral play but is so vital and compelling in its intensity that the fact that we are being given a lesson is lost sight of, the lesson so grips us with its truth and everlasting power. It is apparent that all the members are proud of their new playhouse, and they have a perfect right to he for it is ideal in construction and arrangement. The seating capacity is neither too large to lose the intimate touch that is so much to be desired nor so small as to be crowded. There is that quiet digniof artistry pervading the whole structure that gives the beholder the impression that only the hest things are worthy of presentation in this almost perfectly appointed Little Theatre Playhouse. Another angle on the possibilities of the playhouse Is the fact that It is being planned to have here concerts and musicales that nave formerly been held in much Inferior places, as regarding appointments

six years of serious and uninterrupted course, she was presented by her teacher In her graduation recital at the Athenaeum, having the assistance of an ensemble of six harps, all students of Mrs. Koehne. Immediately- upon this success she left for New York to continue her studies, where during the first fortnight of her stay she played for managers who recognized her ability I and the result was engagements for church and concert work. Thus she vanned phenomenally In the musical world. After several seasons she went abroad and was admitted as an advanced pupil of Mademoiselle Henrietta Renlo, acknowledged as the greatest harp teacher tf today. She has appeared the last three or four seasons during the summer in Paris at the Salle Gaveau, either In her own concerts or In conjunction with world famous artists. She is known also the audiences In England and Holland.

GO AHEAD AND HANG HIM ERALP CHAPMAN, notorious mall robber and J arch-criminal —whose capture at Muncle a year ago was sensational anti whose execution for the murder of a Connecticut policeman, set for last June has been postponed several times by legal maneuvers—has written a poem which his lawyer has just made public. We could easily he persuaded to forgive Gerald’s robbery of the United States mail and such peccadilloes. And we might favor leniency in the matter of the slain policeman. But poetry... Even Hoosiers must shudder at that crime. Space forbids publication of his effusion in full. It Is entitled “Reward.” The last lines read: “Through doubtful wars, for an uncertain fame. Forgotten now the toll of thund’ring hours, i What plotting thrones have - x * given their faithful this, ) The poor reward that was already his.” The rest of it Is just as intelligible. , Now, as far as we are concerned, they can go ahead and hang Gerald without further ado, MARTIAL DRILL AT INDIANA U. I~TT PPOSITION to compulsory j l)j military training, now —J more or less of a feature of Bloomington campus life, lias developed among some students at Indiana University. One group would completely abolish such training. Another group wants the military course made optional with the Individual students. Probably the professional pacifists and timid spinsters, who are now Hooding the country with propaganda against military training in schools as making youth warlike, will make much of the Incident. If they consider the protest as evidence that students at I. U. are ©inverted to the doctrine of pacifism they are undoubtedly off on the wrong foot. More likely the objectors have no conscientious scruples against preparation for war but oppose compulsory military training because It is compulsory—just like students oppose compulsory chapel attendance, etc. Indiana University Is not pacifist. Os course the football team doesn't seem as bellicose as those of rival institutions. Nevertheless In basketball n gratifying degree of bloodthrlstinesa Is displayed. The uproar, noticeable of late, over military training In schools and colleges Is silly. Such training isn't likely to turn out a generation of soldiers itching for war. Any more than his training as a Boy Scout Is likely to turn a lad Into a professional Indian fighter. Military training in school, lncul-
