Goethe had not the slightest idea of the services Schubert was rendering to him and did not vouchsafe any notice of this offering. Today. many of Goethe’s songs are far better known as Schubert’s setting than Goethe’s Schubert had. an unbounded vener- ation for Goethe and set a number of his finer songs to music and sent these settings to the poet himself. But a long list of compositions is as- signed to these years. Schubert was an exceedingly shy man but made in- timate friendships with other artists. Mayrhofer, a poet was one friend and Johann Michael Vogl was a great bari- he set many of his poems to music. tone singer and introduced many of Schubert’s songs to the public. These and other friends formed an enthu- siastic band of kindred spirits. and it was at this time he wrote his first symphony in D which was per- formed by the orchestra composed of members of the choir. His family were musical. His father and two brothers joined with him in quartettes; his brothers playing first and second violin. his father the violin- cello and Franz the viola. For three years after leaving school, not being able to obtain a congenial occupation he was compelled to be his father‘s assistant in teaching school. permh school master. Very early in life Franz picked up the rudiments of music and at eight years of age his father began to teach him the violin. He learned singing from the choir- master, Michael Holzer, who once said that when ever he wished to teach him anything new he found that he had already mastered it. He regarded him with dum astonishment. When he was eleven years of age he entered a competition for the post of choir boy in the Imperial Chapel and was the selected candidate. This position en- titled him to a free education in the Stadtconvict School. It was soon after this his compositions first appeared. One of these were seen by Salieri who. recognized talent in the boy and sent him to a great teacher for lessons in] harmony. But this teacher soon sent him back saying “He has learned ev-‘ erything, and God has been his teach- er”. In the year 1813 his treble voice breaking, he was obliged to leave school On January 31, 1797 Franz Peter Schubert was born at Lichtenthal. members are so interested in the'varâ€" has subjects you study and discuss.

Harding Durham, Ontario FACTORY "A few idle war-ships, assembled by- international cooperation and sent to bombard the ice cliffs of Greenland and of the Antarctic, might have pro- found efiects, v Mr. Browne believes, on the climates of temperate countries in both hemispheres. The movement of warm and cold water in the ocean currents is one of the chief factors, Mr. Browne recalls, in controlling the climates of various countries. Float- ing icebergs, brought down from the Coasts of Greenland into the North At- lantic ocean, absorb oceanic heat, he believes, and tend to afiect the clim- ate of Europe beneficially, especially in preventing summer droughts.

C. Says Dr. Free: The charm of Schubert lies in his eternal youthfulness. He is the music- ian of Springtime. The generous ardor of budding manhood bubbles in his strains. His melodies are inspiring. At the early age of thirty-one he passed away and his body was 'laid to rest in a cemetery in Vienna near Beethoven. a spark of the divine fire.” Schubert highly venerated Beethoven and was one of the thirty-eight torch bearers :who stood beside the grave. Schubert’s six hundred songs form a unique and precious bequest to music. He wrote music as other men would write a letter. His fertility in musical ideas is unparalleled in the history of music. He had but to read a poem and its musical complement burst full grown from his brain. ' . Schubert was one of the most luck- less of all great artists. His finest compositions were utterly disregarded during his lifetime. He never heard an orchestral rehearsal of his grandest symphony. After his death large bundles of his manuscripts were stuf- fed away and left to rot in a dark cup- board for many years until discovered by Messrs. Schumann and Grove. Some of his operas perished by the hands of an indis'criminating servant to light T0 CONfROL WEATHER BY LOOSENING ARCTIC ICE $353th perused a number of Schubert’s songs with great delight and said of him, “Truly Schubert possesses â€"RUTH RAEBURN.

The first is trim- med with a gilt frame, the second features a monogram, the third an amber frame and the fourth a small gold ball. All are in good taste and extremely chic. The Higher Waistline is More Than a Promise At last! For months we have been hearing rumors of the higher waistline while designers continued to show models that ignored this rumor. Now, however, there is definite proof that the raised waistline is coming in. Here is a charming dress that feat- ures the new silhouette. It is of gray flat crepe, and flared in small godets at the knees. The bands of material which are sewed down have lose ends which tie in three pert little bows.
