WAGNERIAN OPERAS AGAIN HEAD LIST Metropolitan Season Marked by Restoration of German to High Place. Bs the Associated Press NEW YORK, April 1. Wagner again is enthroned king the hearts of New York opera goers. For the first time since the war the works of the German master dur- ing the season of 1924-25 led all others in number of performances by the Metropolitan_Opera Company, sup- planting the Italians, who had reigned ce 1917. The Metropolitan with “Il Trovatore,” a record sea- son in point of attendance. A review shows there were 176 opera perform- ances in the Metropolitan Opera House and 47 outside of New York, in Brooklyn, Philadelphia, = Atlanta, Cleveland and Rochester. Announcement came today from the office of Giulio Gatti-Casazza, im- presario of the Metropolitan, that Mme. Marie Jeritza, the company's brilliant Viennese woprano, had signed a coniract to sing with the Metro- politan for “at least two more years.” Mme. Jeritzay one of the company’s : ince 1921, sailed today for with her husband, Baron Leopold von Poppei, without commit- ting herself on this point, but assert- ing that she would return to America in September. Nine Wagner Works Sung. Richard closed tonight The return of Wagner saw nine of his operas, including a revival of the “Ring,"” presented a total of 32 times, seven more times than the Italian of Verdi was heard from the Metropoli- tan stage. “Lohengrin” led in the Wagnerian score with six perform- ances, followed by “Tannhauser” and “Die Meistersinger,” with five each. Strauss, Janecke and Weber were the only other composers of operas sung in German, making a total of 44 per formances of 12 operas in the German list. The combined number of Italian performances continued to outnum- ber those of the German, with 100 presentations of 23 different oper the ever-popular Verdi leading with renditions. Nine operas were sung in French, a total of 35 times. Stravinsky’s “Petrushka” was the only ballet given. Verdi Leads on Road. On the road, the Verdi operas con- dispute Wagner's ascend- ancy, being given nine times to eight for the German master's works. “Aida” and “Pagliaccio first place in the New York season ith eight presentations. Janeck's “Janufa” with Mme. Marie Jeritza in the title role, was added to the reper- toire, an experiment which critics re- ceived coldly. Other additions were Verdi's “Falstaff” and de Bussy's ‘Pelleas at Melisande.” The company had more than its usual share of accident and illness. Typhoid fever in January deprived it of the services of its tenor, Giovanni Martinelli. The debut of Mme. Nan- nie Larsen-Todsen, 2 newcomer from Sweden, had to be postponed in Janu- ary, when a horse foot during a Wagnerian Curt Tauchere, the German tenor, who suffered from the strenuousness of Wagner, when he fell on the stage one night in March, broke two fingers and sprained both hands, but con- tinued to fill the title role in “Sieg- fried.” A flurry was caused in midseason by rumors of artistic discord between Mme. Jeritza and Benianimo Gigli, the Italian tenor, with whom she ap- peared in_*Tosca,” it being reported that the Viennese songbird had con- cluded one of her performances in tears. Official denials, however, were given to rumors that Mme. Jeritza had refused to appear again.

Megts an Urgent Need. The erection of the Mullen Library marks the fulfilment of what has long been an urgent need at the Catholic University. Students have been handicapped by the lack of read- ing rooms and by the inaccessibility which comprise the university’s col- lection at present. - The new structure will afford am ple facilities for reading and provide stackage for 1,000,000 volumes. It will be 207 feet in length by 130 feet in depth, three stories in height throughout. It will be topped by a mansard roof and will have a 14-foot basement of Massachusetts granite. The upper structure will be of Ken- tucky limestone. The site upon which the edifice will stand is the highest point of the Catholic University campus. Its zantine architecture, rising oppo- site the National Shrine of the Im- maculate Conception, will balance nicely the Romanesque of the great bethel. The new library is the gift of John K. Mullen of Denver, Colo., a prominent Catholic philanthropist, and when completed will cost in the neighborhood of $300,000. The building is expected to be ready | for occupancy in the fall of 1 Commencement Week Plans. Walter J. Costello, chairman of the commencement week committee, an- nounces that plans for the senior ball have been completed. The affair will be held at Rauscher's May 15. The ball has been held on former | occasions during the week preceding commencement, and it has been ad- vanced a fortnight this year to avoid the crowding of events which usually attends the seniors’ last few days at school. The competitive examinations for the Knights of Columbus scholarships were held at the university yesterday. The scholarships are open to college graduates and those who expect to re- ceive the bachelor's degree in June, drawing candidates from colleges throughout the country. More than 60 men took the examinations, which cover mathematics, American history, English, the physical sciences and both the classic and modern lan- uages. B Favors Fifty Students Annually. The Knights of Columbus scholar- ships are founded under a $500,000 endowment of the order and provide for the maintenance of 50 students annually at the university, providing room, board and tuition during the academic year from one to three years, depending upon the degree sought.

Palmer is president of the local Audubon So- ciety, and first vice president of the national society. - ’ ‘Teachers in going over the lesson on the flowering dogwood to children in the schools will stress the necessity of saving this tree which is in danger of extermination. They will point out that the flowers wilt shortly after the branches are broken, and that therefore the blossoms are practically worthless as home decorations, al- though beautiful on the trees them- selves. Within a few days, aecording to Mr. Ricker, the flowers should be in their prime. They will probably re- main beautiful for nearly two weeks.. stone of the structure Wednesday. GRADUATE OF G. U.

By the Associated Press. BERKELEY, Calif.,, April 18.— Prof. C. D. Mead of the department of education in the University of Cal- ifornia said fecently that the par- ents of today were shifting their re- sponsibilities to the already-overbur- dened shoulders of the teachers. “They are expecting too much of the schools,” he asserted. “They now demand that the teachers give es- thetic and moral as well as mental training. The, ve shifted the bur- dens from lome to the class- room, and expect perfect results.” Parents also, Prof. Mead continued, say their children cannot read, #rite or spell as well as.they could. He maintained that present-day students were far ahead of their parents or grandparents at the same age. He pointed out that some tests given in Boston in 1850 were repeated recent- ly and in practically all instances the modern child came out the better. “What we need, instead of com- plaints, is some whole-hearted sup- port and training at home, and more of the ‘woodshed’ spirit among. the in I‘Spaln'u raigin interests have com- bined to combat the hold gained by Californjs raising in forelgn; niarketa, / ilett, Miss Whelan, Steven Katopolis, John Joyce, | DRIVEFOR$100.000 ENDOWMENT 15 ON' Washington College of Law Inaugurates Campaign at Dinner Tuesday Night. The campaign for raising the en- dowment fund of $10,000 desired by the Washington College of Law was inaugurated Tuesday night with a unique feature at a dinger given at the Highlands to the student body by the school authorities. This feature was an interesting “mock trial,” writ- ten by Miss Grace Whelan of the class of 1925, which brought out the salient features of the campaign and showed the reasons and necessity for it together with the obligation of the student body to support it to the fullest extent. Prof. Harry A. Hegarty acted as the judge and Miss Whelan was the attorney for the plaintiff, which was the Washington College of Law, rep- resentated by the founders, ' Mrs. Ellen Spencer Mussey and Miss Em- ma_Gillett, with the student body as the defendant, represented by Wil- bur L. Gray, class of 1926, and de- fended by' Mrs. Harry E. Linkins, also of that class. A spirited and effec- tive case was presented to the jury which consisted of students of the college. The action was brought by the Washington College of Law against Mr. Gray, as representing the stu- dent body for failure to contribute to the endowment. It was held that there was a moral obligation arising out of love and affection for the col- lege and an implied legal obligation in that the amount of tuition does not begin to represent adequate compensation for the increased earn- ing power resulting from this pro- fessional education. It also was charged that, because of the increas- ing rigidity for bar examinations, and the higher bar admission require- ments, the Washington College of Law was faced with a financial crisis and compelled to turn to her students and alumni for assistance, particularly inasmuch as they have received direct benefit because of the love and self-sacrifice on the part of the founders and their followers Cast of Mock Trial.

Artheologists to Search for Relics Left by Race Antedating [ {ge Red Men. By the Associated Press, ANDERSON, S. C., April 18.XArch- | eologists from several colleges in this State are to join an expedition being organized here for the purpose of exploring the great mounds on the Tugaloo and Seneca rivers, near here, which are said to have been built by a race that antedated the red men. Some of the mounds, especially those along the Tugaloo River, are so large that they cover approximate- ly three acres and are about 100 feet high. Following an examination of sev- eral of the mounds Andrew Todd of this city expressed the opinion that their interiors are hollow and contain relics of an ancient race that only await the explorer's pick to bring them to light. A large mound near Calhoun Falls was demolished during the floods of 1908, revealing a number of pieces of pottery and other evidences of a past civilization. % Hedlthy—éhestmt Trees From China WILL ATTEND MEETING.
