Again the Problem of the State University is be- 
fore the legislature. It is not disputed that Massachu- 
setts is behind the times in the public provisions made 
for academic instruction beyond the high schools. The 
State should provide some way by which high school 
graduates may continue their work in universities: at 
State expense. Many states have inaugurated state 
universities which have been remarkably successful. 
In Massachusetts the problem is entirely different. Al- 
ready there are colleges and universities doing their 
efficient work. To duplicate the buildings of these 
successful institutions in a state university would be a 
wicked waste of good money. Would not the same 
ends be gained by the state paying tuition charges for 
high school graduates in existing colleges? The state 
should provide an opportunity for its growing boys 
to obtain an education. The scholarship plan would 
prevent duplication of buildings and affect a great sav- 
ing and gain the desired end, an opportunity for its 
young men and women to obtain an education at the

ei I. 0. 0. F. ANNIVERSARY. 
Manchester Lodge Entertains at 
Town Hall on 95th Birthday. 
About 225 members and friends of 
Magnolia lodge, No. 149, I. 0. O. F., 
attended the entertainment given in 
the Manchester Town hall last night 
in observance of the 95th anniver- 
sary of Odd Fellowship. The Cart- 
wright Bros.’ quartet and Miss Elsie 
Mae Gordon, reader, provided an 
entertainment both unique and pleas- 
ing. Ice cream and cake were serv- 
ed during the evening. 
The quartet was composed of 
four clever instrumentalists, who 
excelled on a number of instru- 
ments. The opening number of the 
program was a march by the quar- 
tet, consisting of piano, violin, cor- 
net, with the fourth member of the 
troupe ‘‘doubling’’ on the trombone 
and ‘cello. This piece was called 
“Tights Out,’’ a lively, lilting air 
executed with a snap which augur- 
ed well for other numbers on the 
program. A violin solo, ‘‘Fifth Air 
Varie,’’ by one of the men, was a 
pleasing bit of work which follow- 
ed. 
Miss Gordon showed that she had 
a complete mastery of the Etheopian 
drama, when she favored her audi- 
ence with ‘‘Miss Minerva and Wil- 
liam Green Hill,’’ responding with 
‘“‘Mammy’s Pickanninny,’’ both of 
which depicted her talent as a por- 
trayer of southern life.

mental work was next given by a 
quartet, called ‘‘A Trip Abroad.’’ 
Although one might have to be en- 
dowed with a very brilliant imagin- 
ation to believe himself in the vicin- 
ity of Trafalgar square, London, or 
wandering through the beautiful 
parks of Germany, those present 
last evening considered the illusion 
at least worthy of continued ap- 
plause. From the time of the liner’s 
departure from its pier from New 
York (the program tells us) across 
the briny, encountering a thunder 
storm, all of the usual incidents of 
life aboard ship were interpreted by 
suitable airs by the artists. The 
audience enjoyed every minute of 
this piece, from the departure of the 
boat until the return trip was made 
and ‘‘Yankee Doodle’’ announced 
that the regions of Long Acre 
square had again been reached. The 
quartet was obliged to respond to 
an encore on the piece. 
A cornet solo, ‘‘Silver Stream,*’ 
by a member of the quartet called 
for an eneore of the song, ‘‘which 
never grows old,’’ ‘‘The Rosary.”’ 
A string trio to the air of ‘‘ When 
I Miss You, Dear,’’ was the next 
number, followed by readings in 
child dialect by Miss Gordon. The 
reading was in three parts, entitled 
‘“‘The Wood Tick,’’ ‘‘A small boy’s 
dissertation on ‘Hens and _ other 
Things’ ’’ and ‘‘A Very Little Child 
—hife’s Tragedy—S-sh!’’ One of 
Rudyard Kipling’s shorter works 
was the encore with which Miss

Gordon favored her audience. 
The quartet, with the audience 
perfectly willing, usurped the re- 
maining numbers of the program as 
follows: Trombone solo, ‘‘Carrie 
Polka’’; character song, ‘‘The Old 
Plaid Shawl;’’ xylophone _ solo, 
‘‘Rubber Plant,’; and a duet for 
cornet and trombone. 
S. of V. 22d Anniversary. 
Col. H. P. Woodbury Camp, S. of 
V., observed its 22d anniversary 
Tuesday evening an appropriate 
program being earried out, Com- 
mander Frank A. Foster presiding.

A. S Jewett, Commander Crombie 
of the G. A. R. Post; Miss Mary 
Morgan, president of the Woman’s 
Relief corps; Rev. Chas. A. Hatch, 
Edwin P. Stanley of the Council of 
Administration and L. W. Floyd. 
There were also solos by Mrs. F. @. 
Cheever, and Miss Brenda Cook, and

members, now numbers 96, and is

camps in the state, especially for a 
town the size of Manchester.
