The second annual music festival given
junder the auspices of the College of

jpnisht at the Academy of Music. The
I guest-stara wero Mrs. Gertrude Ilayden
,j Fernley, soprano, and Mn Henri Scott,
""basso, Th,e appearance of the latter was
,i'made particularly felicitous by tho under
line to his name, "of the Metropolitan
Opera Compan," long justified and new
ly acquired.
Dr. Thaddeus Rich appeared In a posi
tion he will shortly be called upon to fill
In the popular concerts of the Philadel
phia Orchestra, namely, that of conduct
or, There Is something crabbed and
limited In his conducting, which does not
i make for freedom in tho orchestra and
seems to mltltnte against the achleve
t tnent of climaxes But his rending of
, both the "Melsterslnger" and "Merry
Wives" overtures was muslclanly and
satisfying. Mr, Emll F. Ulrlch, directing
the chorus, was moro suae, nnd accom
plished tho notablo feat of holding his
orchestra and singers together Amateur
and semlprofesslonal concerts with
chorus nre seldom so fortunate.
The work of the choruH was not always
of the cleanest cut, but tho ordinary pit
falls were notably avoided and the bal
ance of tho voices was nicely kept, in
spite ot a meagre representation of men's
voices. Tho great Bin of an overwhelm
ing soprano volume was also avoided, nnd
In the "Ave Maria" tho shading was both
delicate and expressive. Tho mixed
Choruses wero from "Die Melsterslnger"
and from Mendelssohn's "Loreley," In the
latter of Which Mrs, Fernley sany the
soprano solo. For men's voices alone
thero was AVenserfa "Ilelmat Llebe,"
sung a capella, and for women's vqlces,
besides the "Ave Maria," there was
Kremser's "II) mn of Thanksgiving"
Mrs. Fernley'a voice, especially In the
last named, was rather weak and Inef
fective, but It rose to greater strength
and. emotional powers In the "Ave
Maria," which Waa encored. Mr. Scott
was not so robust as delicate of voice.
Ills air from Verdi's "Don Carlos" was
perhaps a trifle too carefully sung. As
an encore he tang the "Toreador" song
from "Carmen " It waa done with dra
matis fervor and clearness of phrasing,
which will go far with Mr. Scott's rich,
deep voice to make his appearances -with
tho Metropolitan a true delight.

PROFESSOR STINGS STUDENTS
"Athletics Extend Nursery Into Col

The controversy between Prof. T D.
O'Bolger, of the University of Pennsyl
vnnla, on one eido and students and
athletic coaches of the institution on tho
other, over tha proposal to begin classes
nn hour earlier, Is growing warmer, Tho
Pennsylvania!! has jumped Into the dla.
puto on the sldo of tha coaches and Is
matching Its wit against Professor
O'Bolger's delightful sarcasm. The stu.
dent dally paper's contention Js that
earlier classes wilt give athlete moro
time to practice. '
The dispute began In earnest when tha
professor called Franklin Field and nth
let le activities "an extension of the
nurry into college life" and asserted
that he objected to having his life en
croached upon nd used In furtherance
of the idea that atllletios are "the chief
Miwergrailuats activity In the University

CHILDREN TO ASSIST
IN NATIONAL FOURTH
Plan for Great Vocal Chorus to
Sing in Independence Squaio
Meets With Approval.
Many suggestions nro being rcceUrd
dilly from various orgnnlttlons In con
nection with tho national Tourth of July
celebration In this clt, and In order to
simplify mattors theso nro being biibmlt
ted to Councils' Fourth of July Commit
tee, which will decide upon tlio oluclnt
program
It Is tho ilcslro of tho committee to pro
moto harmony In tho arrangements nnd at
the Fame tlmo make tho oent, which also
commemorates tho ROth unnlcrnnry of tho
closing of tho Clil War, thoroughly rep
resentative. Common Councilman John Bnlzley,
chairman of Councils committee, today re
ceived a request from tho Department of
Pennsj lvanla of tho Army and N'avy
Union that Admiral Devvej, Major Gen
eral Leonard Wood, Colonel Roosevelt nnd
Major General Barnett be Included In
the list of distinguished guests of tho city.
The dopartment also offered to 'participate
in tho big patrlotlo parade, which is being
planned to precedo tho coremonles at In
dependence Hall.
While a tentative program for tho 4th,
Cth and 6th ot July has been arranged, the
Councllmanlc commlttco Is considering a
number of plans which may rcaulro an
extension of the celebration to one or two
moro days Nothing doilnlte in thin con
nection can bo announced, hnvvever, until
tho Dunn bill, providing an appropriation
of $:5,O0O, has been pnssed by tho Legis
lature and signed by tho Governor.
Passage of tho bill Introduced In Coun
cils recently bv Mr BaMoy. providing for
tho appropriation of nn additional fCOOO by
tho elty for tho celebration, Is lrtually
assured, This would bring the cltj's do
nation to the fund up to J1D.00O.
Tho plan to have an Immense chorus In
Independence Square, In which the public
school children shall havo a conspicuous
part, has met the approval of the city's
leading educators. In discussing this sug
gestion today, Dr. William C Jacobs,
Superintendent of Public Schools, said
"It Is logical that Philadelphia, whero
American liberty had Its origin, should
observo Independence Day with a great
celebration of natlonnl consequence From
a historical and selnlmcntal lowpolnt, I
cannot but npprovo tho proposition.
"I shall willingly promote tho co-operation
of the public school system In the
project. Of course, I am anxious that
our pupils shall be a part ot tho cele
bration "A children's chorus, properly organized
and disciplined, would ho sanctioned by
my department. Wo could assemble a
great gathering of boys and girls In Inde
pendence Square, where they could pre
sent a musical program that would add
dignity to the occasion. Furthermore, the
Impression that they would gain from thu
exercises would bo of Immense profit to
the children themselves "
