AMERICAN DOES
NOT KNOW MUSIC
LIKE RUSSIAN

A very fine Interpretation of Rus
sian music in several of it's charac-
~tcristic pieces was given this morning
by Professor w. o. Schmidt of the
Grand Forks school Of music, who
appeared in a iecture-recital on RUS
sian music" this morning. His lee
tur%e-recital Was given as the weekly
c%onvocation number of the univer-
sity.
Professor Schmidt was assisted in
trio numbers by two of. his pupils,
Miss Esther Sanford. cellist, and Miss
Naomi cambridge, pianist. The trio
numbers were especially fine and
drew comment from several music
ians and music lovers present. :.
A Russian does not inherit any
more musical ability than an .Ameri-
can, Professor Schmidt said in his
lecture which preceded the musical
numbers. The citizen Of the United
States has. as much innate musical
ability at birth as the citizen of Rus
STA, but Russia has the better system
of developing that ability. !

of virile activity which, while doubtless
a subject of admiring wonder when
displayed by globe trotter, Is devoid
Of much of its attractiveness when
viewed and considered from the stand
point of the poor and overburdened
taxpayer and an already too greatly
harassed legislature in attempting TO
carry on the necessary activities OF the

the demands of an exasperated constit-
uency at home clamoring for reduction
in the overhead expenses Of the state
