STOKOWSKI RECEIVES A GREAT OVATION Leader Given Wreath and Recalled Many Times at Closing Con cert of Evening Series Last evening's concert of the Philadelphia urcliestra, the closing evening concert of (the season, might well have been termed a htoKow-ski Evening," for, though the popu lar leader was not on the program under his own or any other name, his entrance was the signal for nn Unusunl amount of applause, in the intermission he wns piesentcd with a handsome wreath, the gift of the members ot the orchestra, while the demonstration "at the close of the concert on the part of the audience wns so gient that he was obliged to make a speech before his admirers would be satisfied. The concert itself was the one postponed from October 1M. It opened with the charm ing "Rosnmmidc" music of Schubert, the numbers given being the Overture, the Entr'acte No. I! nnd the llnllet No. 'J. Sehu beit's wealth of melodic inspiration wns never more in evidence than in this lovely music. There is little attempt at richness ot orchestration or of harmonic ex-perimenta-tion, except in nn occasional change of key by nn unnxpected modulation, but there is mel ody of the typical Schubertian churacter from beginning to end. The melody of the Entr'acte is one of which the great com poser wns apparently very fond, for he used the first four lucasuies of it in one of the Impromptus for piano nnd the first sixteen measures of it in the slow movement of the A minor qunrtct for strings. The number wns finely played, with due attention to the orchestral color of the vari ous solo instruments taking the different melodies, nnd wns received with great ap 'plause. It is music of the simplest nnd purest type and its easiness to understand in the lack of complicated construction or of elab orate polyphony mnde it one of the most en joy nblc numbers of the season. This wns followed by, the fnmilinr "Tann haeuser Overture," which was played at a rapid tempo and with great fire and spirit as well as good balance nnd beauty of toue. After the intermission, when Mr. Sto kovvski wns presented with the wreath nnd , gieeted with n fanfnre by the orchestra, the, entile audience rising ns he responded to the recall, the Fifth Symphony of Tschni kowski wns played, completing the program. This fine work, which has all the emotion, of the Sixth (Pnthctique) Symphony xv-ithout its morbidity, is one that Mr. Stokowski In terprets as well as anything he does. It was read and performed with great sympathy and uutlei standing, the contrasts on tonal color as w ell ns those of the themes being strongly brought out, but not .overdone, nud the xyholc work beiug given en rapport with the evident intention of the composer. Each movement received a tremendous ovntiou, nnd nt tho close of the concert Mr. Stokowski xvns given such a icccption as is seldom accorded to a conductor. After being recalled half u dozen times he mnde n brief nddrcss. t He thanked the audience for the part It had played in making the orchestra such success. He said that duriug the last few years the whole world had been in convul sions und that several times during those dark days it seemed as if the Orchestra could not be maintained. It would have been u pity, too, nfter the hard work which had been done to place it where it now stands, for ouce down it would have been very hard to begin it again. However, these days xvere now past and the future looked brighter. He closed by wishing nil a very happy summer. Then the audience applauded again, and the evening scries of the season of 1018-1910 came to a successful close. JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOLS ' FOR PRACTICAL TRAINING0 Garber Outlines Scheme for Enlist ing Interest of Youth in Concrete .Problems Thousands of young people leave the public schools df Philadelphia every year ns soon as the compulsory law permits them to do so. Most of them stop school not for economic reasons, but because the school work has ceased to hold their interest. To meet the difficulties which confront these girls nud boys who arc inadequately prepared for entering economic fields, the lioard of Education has designed a system of junior high schools, which provides a general course of three years following the comple tion of sixth grade work. The Junior High School deals xvlth things rather than theories, and aims, at n more, practical education suited to children of from twelve to fifteen xeurs of age, which is ex plained in the following statement from Dr. John P. Gni-ber, superintendent ot sciioois; This different type of school furnishes a splendid opportunity for broadcuing and intensifying the natural and healthy in stincts nud cravings of this period of, life through wlilcr activities and the vnricd appli cations of the things begun iu the elementary schools to life and its activities. It nlso furnishes n fine opportunity for introducing new subjects or new fentures of old subjects; 'fcvtspj taut nie o: distiller vaiuc iu ussuiiug success iiiv5 und satisfaction in life. ( the type of Vdiit-ntion that, assists the child- jjffii'$ in making n wise choice of the Hue of life, wM activity for which it means to be prepared ffia when it leaves school. 1-or tills purpose ltsl not only strives for n high degree of general Wj intelligence, but uKo presents as broad range of vocational activities as is possible nnd with a worth-while preliminary training in each, "The Junior High School plnn Is growing iu public favor, not only because it makes' these strong appeals of things worth xvhilo to pupils nud their parents, but also because it is demonstrating Its ability to bold the mass of oiiF young people in school until they arc better prepared for meeting the hard and complex conditions now confronting every one entering the strenuous World ol business, industry or professional life. Al though Phllndelphlu has at present only one complete Junior High School several others are under consideration, nnd the number should be extended us rapidly Us is feasible uutil eventually every portiou of the City will have the benefit of this type of school for its boys and girls." , MRS.
