CONTEST AN EVEN VICTORY (Continued From Page One.) chief charm for tho classical student and the religious reformer. Every allusion Milton makes to the heathen mythologies brings before the eyes of the student some ancient myth or fable, its own innate charm enhanc ed by the beauties of Mlltonlc gen ius. But Lycidas has a sterner side, one that can appeal only to those pro founder minds that are interested in the mighty questions of church and state. It pronounces violent invec tives against tho corruptions of the church, and foretells with prophetic Inspiration tho final ruin of tho Eng lish clergy. Over-owed by its terri ble significance, we stand In tho presence of "that two-handed engine at the door," that is ready to smito once and smito no more." From this It may be seen how com pletely Milton's Minor Poems are tilled with the description of, human nature. Thoy appeal with peculiar persuasiveness to the Joyful and tho meditative man, the musician and tho student, the philosopher and tho man of deep religious convictions, tho lover of naturo and tho admirer of virtue, tho classical student and tho religious reformer. Surely no other representative of English llt oraturo, with tho sole exception of Shakespeare, has so charmed his readers and Influenced so many lives. A hearty applause which followed demonstrated tho appreciation of tho audience. Tho largo audience, at this Inter vention of tho program, sang "Amer ica." Mortimer Stocker, Honesdnlo's first orator, became 111 during the singing of "America." Ho made a bravo attempt to dollver tho decla mation, "Lincoln's Inaugural Ad dross," but was compelled to retire, being unablo to finish. Prof. Oday stopped to tho young man's rescue, offered a fow words of explanation and then announced tho second speaker, tftobert McGowan, of Car bondale. Mr. McGowan has a clear voice, his gestures woro not overdone and his oratorical abili ties natural. His oration was woll received. MubIc was added as an Interest ing feature In tho contest, and It proved to bo so In tho truest sense of tho word for Ilonesdalo when, af ter tho local chorus under Miss Har riot Arnold's leadorshln. tho musical adjudicator, D. E. Jones, of Scran ton, doclded In Tlonesdalo's favor; Tho Carbondale Leader, In speaking of tho adjudicator's criticism, says: "In tho music contest, Ilonesdalo rccolvcd tho decision, but In Justlco to the Iocnl chorus tho manner in which tho adjudication was render ed by D. E. Jones, Doctor of Music, Scranton, should not bo allowed to pass unmentloned. A vigorous ob jection and particularly from a pedogoglcal standpoint Is made against tho ndjudlcutor appearing on tho stngo and exposing what ho termed tho coarso points In tho contest. Tho finished product was not expected from tho children who took part. His adjudication was de cidedly not In keeping with his re marks. According to tho Inferences to bo drawn tho Cnrbondallans were winners for on phrasing and sen tencing they were exceptionally good and their attack very good. Tho volume, In tho professor's mind, evi dently detracted from tho expression of tone. Wo bolleVo his conception Is wrong. Tho children of tho pub lic schools are to bo taught to sing, and In tho High school tho Instruc tors have tried to bring out tho boys' voices, nnd with such success, that the delicately attuned ear of the Mils. Bach, trembled with tho vol ume of It. Indeed, tho instructors enn feol highly complimented over tho criticism of Prof. Jones. The results show that they have worked along the lines Intended by the State Superintendent of Schools." Wo, however, do not agree with Carbondale on their criticism. After a selection by tho Lyric or chestra, Miss Dorothy Henderson, of Carbondale, was announced as tho first speaker in recitation. The subject was tho "Legend of Bro gends."t Miss 'Henderson, in our opinion, used too many gestures, which was missing in Miss Mildred Ward's recltatlan of the samo sub ject, and which was more effective as a whole. Tho latter held her au dience and made it so clear that the imagination portrayed the characters as they wero mentioned In the le gend. 'Miss Ward was given a hearty applause which was loud and long. Another selection by the orches-, tra followed after which Prof. Oday made the announcement of tho de cisions. Tho essay was given Miss Munn, which had previously been understood when Miss Jordan wrote "This is the best essay" on the con testant's paper. The declaration was awarded to Robert McGowan, also of Carbon dale, who was practically tho only speaker, Mortimer Stocker, Hones dalo's orator, having heen taken 111. Tho recitation was given Miss Dorothy Henderson, Carbondale, but only by a two-third vote, one of the three judges holding out for Miss Ward, Honesdalo's favorite. Tho music decision is mentioned above. Even though Honesdale lost tho others it won out on music and that Is worth just as much as all others combined. Honesdale looks at the contest as an oven victory. The judges wero David A. Har mon, superintendent, of Hazleton schools; A. A. Kllllan, supervising principal Susquehanna schools; Lin coln J. Roys, superintendent of Port Jervis schools. Miss Regina McCabe, Carbondale, and Miss Harriet Arnold, Honesdale. were the musical directors of tho largo choruses. It was at the suggestion of Dun- more, before she dropped out of the contest, that singing bo added to tho program. That town has a good di rector and Its school Is considered as being good singers. Naturally sne thought she could outslng her rivals. Upon her recommendation it was added, each chorus to have eighty voices. After that she want ed Prof. J. T. "Watklns as adjudica tor, but it crept out that Mrs. Mar tha 'Matthews Owens, the school s musical director, was a student of Prof. Watklns, besides several pu plls In the Dunmoro school were music scholars of tho professor. As soon as this became known Profes sr Oday of the local school, and Prof. Loftus, of Carbondale. object ed, claiming that Prof. Watklns would undoubtedly favor tho Dun moro choir In a close decision. Both Honesdale and Carbondalo had made changes to favor Dunmoro in tho contest, but when It camo Dun moro's turn to glvo In sho "picked up her blocks and went home." Tho contest was managed In a business-like way; everybody en joyed themselves and Carbondalo ex pressed herself as being royally entertained. ALUMNI BANQUET. At a meeting of tho Honesdale 'High School Alumni Association held April 1C, 1912, it was decided to hold a banquet of the association on Juno 13, 1912, or possibly a week later, or June 20, 1912.
