ALEXANDRIA, Va., February 27.—A complete survey of the entire school system here is_expected to be ordered by the City School Board at the regu- lar meeting of the board next Wednes- day night. The work will be done either by the University of Virginia or the United States Bureau of Education This action on the part of the School Board is expected to be taken to get a | full and complete survey from an im- | partial source. It is probable that the Federal agency will be used, as the cost will be much less than if the work is done by the University of Virginia. The United States Bureau of Education made a similar survey here in 1924, | which cost the city $400. | The survey was advised in a letter received by the School Board recently from the superintendent of public in- struction of Virginia, who stated that it would b2 a good idea to have this done by an impartial source so that there would be no doubt as to the true facts. The City Council yest:rday fixed March 5 as the date on which it would accept the invitation of the School Board to make a personal tour of the schools. | Dr. W. S. Y. Critchley of Columbia | University extension service is making | a survey of the two high schools at this | tim> at the request of the School Board. | He is expected to make his report at | the School Board’s meeting next week. In an effort to bring the report of | the Chamber of Commerc: committee before the public promptly following de- cision of the board of directors of the | chamber to hold the report until a gen- | cral membership me-ting, 15 members of the chamber yesterday signed a pe- tition asking for a called meeting of the body at once to consider this matter. The r-gular meeting of the chamber s | not scheduled until March 9. Meantime the Alexandria Citizens' | Committee on Public Schools is going ahead with its investigation of every phase of the school system. The final report from this body will be made about March 15.

Soloist Ensemble and Pianist at the University Club, Y5 N EVENING OF MUSIC,” as presented last night at the University Club, through the efforts of the Entertainment Committee, of which Lewis Lofton Moneyway is the guiding spirit, included “The Soloist Ensemble” and Ervine J. Stenson, pianist. Although one might wish that Mr. Stenson had learned his selections by heart and could thus have done away with those pauses $o im- pertenantly puctuated by the rustling of pages, he demonstrated the able technique that has brought him to the front with evident abandon and for the most part pleasing results Conspicuous among his playing was “The Eagle,” by MacDowell, and the Karganoff “Scherzo,” and the “Pa- pillon” of Schubert might have been likewise but for the irrelevant bumps produced by the page turning. “The Soloist Ensemble,” of which Otto Torney Simon is director, began the program and finished the pro- gram and produced in the interims some very fine effects. Most notice- able among its virtues was the rather amazing shadings and high- lights and the long final note which in one or two of the selections drifted off imperceptibly into eclipse. All of these more delicate phrasings the group handled admirably. But for some strange reason when a high note was to be tackled there was much and lamentable falling off, and in one instance the desired note was never reached at all. The general impression received was that_this group had worked so assiduously over the more intricate passages that it had forgotten to brush up on the elemental. That, however, was scarcely noticeable in the last two Wagner choruses—the “Song of the Rhine Maidens” and the “Entrance of the Gods in Wal- halle.” Here Mr. Simon attained to the acme of ensemble singing—thus turning his audience loose with the very best impression of his work— and a musical evening of some out- standing moments.
