Mozart

The following composition on MO-
Fart was selected as the best writ
ten by pupils of the high school
Freshman class and pupils of the VII
and VIII grades. Its author IS
Elizabeth Russakon OF the VIII erade
division.
Mozart, a German composer, one OF
the supreme masters OF all time and
one of the most wonderful genuises
of all who ever lived. was born at
Salzburg. Germany, January 81, 1856,
one of seven children. His father
began to teach him music when he
was little more than baby, and when
the boy was five years old he had
composed minuets At six he was
taken with his little sister ON con-
cert tour of Europe, splaying before
such notables AS the Emperor Fran
els |. and creating a sensation wher-
ever he played. AT the age of seven
he published several sonatas, and at
eight could play the difficult works of
Bach and Handel. When he was
thirteen years of age he travelled
with his father to Italy, and spent
much of his time there, and the in
fuence of these southern sojourns is
largely responsible for many of his
compositions.
Mozart contracted a happy marri-
age with member of the illustrious
Weber family and this together with
the joy afforded by his work was his
only earthly recompense for short
life of hard work and poverty, EN-
Uttered by jealous rivals. The num-
Der of Mobart's works is almost in
credible. He produced forty SYM
phonies. twenty-five piano concerts,
six violin concertos, and forty arias.
His chamber music includes forty
two sonatas for violin and piano,
twenty-six string quartets. and seven
string quintets. Those of his works
most frequently performed are the
operas Marriage offs Figaro" Don
Giovanni" and "Thes Magic Flute
Among the sacred pieces are the
Requiem "The Twelfth Mass and
many others. His compositions are
SO numerous and so well known it Is
unnecessary to mention all of them.
Hayden declared that Mozart was the
greatest composer that ever lived. In
fact by his manifold gifts of beauty.
form and exactness OF methods he
stands comparison with the highest
masters of his art.
He died at Vienna, December 3.
1871 at the age Of thirty-six and not
until after his death did people ap-
preciate his wonderful compositions.
Many years after his death, Vienna
honored him with monument

Low Prices

If a plaeard of any kind is wanted,
even one copy, print shop is Obliged
to charge SIC therefor and at that
the work is done without profit. Vi
course If five or more copies are re-
quired, the printer can charge per-
haps $1.50 and at that figure rea-
sonable profit results. This has led
to carrying in stock in some print
ing Offices of the placards most usually
wanted. and the Independent Reporter
is gradually accommodating quite
variety in this line. These placards
are chiefly 7x22 inches in size, altho
some OF them are what are known as
quarter sheets. 11x14 inches. VI
course we print them in considerable
quantities and put them aside to sell
at retail as wanted, in any quantity,
from 1 to 100. Ordinarily however,
n customer for this sort of thing
wants one placard sometimes two or
three. BY following the above plan
we can sell them for Csc each, two

be sent by mail but they have to
be wrapped with more care and il
so ordered, 25c should be added for
packing and postage. This addi-

the number of placards. except for
ten or more. That is, it costs Csc

Referring to the extensive move

it's consequent eugenic drain, the re.
port Gays the solution "seems to de.
pend chiefly upon whether Anne rican
rural life is economically and cultur-
ally attractive enough to retain the
best stocks. and attract new and good
stock from the cities" In this con-
nection it is suggested that legisla-

rural education, abolition of protec-
tive tariffs, and suburban life for

sures Of the highest order.
Arrangement of institutions of
higher learning for their adherence
to "monastic ideas" regarding mar
ried students is a part Of the report.
Their best fellowships are not
open to married students" it SAYS.
"They seem to be doing much to limit
the propagation Of the most intel
lectual elements in society.
important steps in the field Of eu-
genie education should be taken i'm
mediately. All large universities
should have courses in eugenics. Ed

should eventually be extended
through the entire school system,
down to the elementary grades.
"Care should be taken to square
eugenics with rational democratic
ideals, by exposing false claims Of
class superiority and espousing equal
opportunity to demonstrate intrinsic
merit.
Public Libraries should be provid-
ed with suitable literature, depart
ments Of health should become eu-
genie agencies, and departments Of
eugenics should be established in
every state. 1t is important in this
connection, that only we'll establish
ed facts should be taught, and not
premature and possibly dangerous
hypothesis be given out as facts"
While declaring that all the hui
man traits which make better people
are not yet defined, the report de-
clares that the quality of sympathy
and gentleness is generally acknow-
lodged as of first Importance.
Kindness" it says, "is one of the
most important and most valuable
characteristics"
"The problem of encouraging the
recognition Of eugenic factors in mar
riage selection is one which ultimate

schools, colleges, and other agencies.

Chicago. Aug. pa program for
the practical application Of eugene
principles" to the improvement OF
the people of America, made public
today by the Eugenics Committee OF
the United States, suggests segrega-
tion Of defective types, sterilization,
laws encouraging parenthood by
those endowed with good hereditary
traits, and enactments rationalizing
marriage and divorce regulations, as
among the more important aims IN
the field Of legislation.
Inquiry into the eugenic elements
in birth control is mentioned as one
Of the most important research pro-
bloms. More than 200 activities for
eugenic societies and welfare work
ers are outlined.
The program was arranged by q
subcommittee Of the American organ
izaton headed by Prof. Henry E.
Champion of Columbia University.
Other members Of the subcommittee
are Professors Irving Fisher and Ros-
well johnson. and DR.. Harry Laugh
lin. The national body Is composed
of prominent scientists, educators,
churchmen. public officials, and So
cial workers and is affiliated with the
International Commission on Eugen-
les whose headquarters is in London.
Prof. Fisher is chairman of the Amer
lean committee. Chief Justice Harry
Olson of the Municipal Court Of Chi
cago, also a member Of the commit
tee, made public the program.

said. ~ unified. coordinated. practic-

War, immigration, farm credits
protective tariffs, transportation, la
Dor unions, and housing all are men
toned in the program as problem
for eugenic research.
The automobile is mentioned as ,
factor in rural eugenics "since /

tr;cts."
The eugenic aspect Of higher edu
! cation is presented in the question
Are universities attracting the most
intelligent elements in the population
and virtually sterilizing them, both
students and teachers ?"
Concerning the present general
tendency of migration from rural
communities to the larger cities, the
report asks IL the population center

able bodied young people from the
farms. or the inferior?"
III the superior stocks are being
driven off by present tendencies to
the sterile life Of city commerce, this
constitutes a dysgenic drain upon the
population" the report says. 1T is
estimated that in four generations
the 80 percent Of the present popu-
lati0n which is on the farms tends
to become 80 percent of the total
stock" 1t then is pointed out that
il these two tendencies are demon
strated by research to be continually
operative, the result would be that

AN UNUSUAL CASE
Firm Sues for Money Due on Liquor
Shipment.

New Orleans. La. Jan. 2O.-Suit
was filed today in civil district court
here against 4. J. Fabacher, former res
taurant proprietor, by Christie and
Company of Nassau, Bahama Islands,
for $T4,G07. alleged to be due on
liquors purchased from them by Fa'
bachcr last August. So far as is known
it is the first case of its kind in a
civil court in the United States since
the prohibition law became effective.
The petition alleged the liquor was
delivered aboard n ship at Nassau and
cleared for Tampco. Mexico, but was
diverted and landed at an unnamed port
in the United States. depriving the Mas
sau firm OF the right Of lien and other
privileges.
The petition also alleges that pay
ments on three drafts for the liquor
was refused when presented.
According 10 counsel for the Nassau
firm the ship on which the liquor was
shipped. was under charter by Fabacher,
and it was under his instructions that
the shipment was diverted from Tam
pico, he added.
