The major league schedule meet
Ing opens tomorrow at Pittsburgh,
with the American League repre-
scented by President Barnard and
Secretary Harridge. 1t is expected
that the big leagues will open their
1928 campaigns on Tuesday, April
IL, or possibly April IS. This means
the Griffs, who will open at home.
will rest on Monday, April IL. on
the eve of the campaign.
I'VE haven't finished our spring
plans vet, said President Griffith
today, but we have decided not to
spend So much time in training as
we did last spring. We shall come
North with the Giants and right
now expect to open at Birmingham
with them.
'tOf course, II McGraw wants
to make . trip into Florida,
wen be pleased to play his
team at Tampa. but under no
conditions will we agree to
jump from Tampa to Augusta,
Ga, for two or three games. On
our trip home well very likely
stop off at Augusta for one or
two contests, but we haven't
settled upon our schedule yet.
Our first squad, consisting of
the younger pitchers, will begin
work on Monday. February 81.
Some Of the veterans like Jones
and Zachary, viii probably visit
Hot Springs before reporting at
Tampa. A weeks work is enough
for the infielders and outfielders
and with the first exhibition booked
for March 8, they don't need to
show up until March 1. Many de-
tails remain to be settled before we
can announce our plans In their
entirety. but they're coming along
fast enough and should soon be in
good shape"
John McGraw, of the Giants, says
his team will play in Florida. It
is thought that, he will visit ST.
Augustine where he spent two
weeks last spring before hopping
off to Memphis. In that case the
Griffs may be induced to make the
overnight jump from Tampa to st.
Augustine for couple OF games.

Dear Sir:
Music Week For Everybody
And Everybody For Music. AS to day
May z brings us to the close of National
Music Week the following words ia
praise OF music from some of the great
men of all times may be of interest to
the music loving public.
FRED. c. JACKSON.
Of all the liberal arts, music has the
greatest influence over the passions, and
is that which legislators should give the
greatest encouragement.
Napoleon Banaparte.
If young men had music and pictures
to interest them, to engage them and
satisfy many Of their impulses, they

would not 60 to the low pleasures of the
street.
George Bernard Shan.
Let the love of literature, sculpture.
architecture, and above all. music, enter
into your lives.
Theodore Roosevelt
The man who disparages music as a
luxury and non.essential is doing the
nation an injury.
~ Woodrow Wilson.
l am the friend of every effort to give
music its rightful place in our national
life.
r. Warren @. Harding.
Music is the art directly representative
of democracy. If the best music is
brought to the people there need be no
fear about their ability to appreciate it,
-C0jUjn Coolidge.
After the beginnings of reading, arith-
metic and geometry, music has greater
practical value than any other subject
taught in the schools.
p. P. CJautou.
I have always believed that it was
essential for successful business that a
man be possessed of sentiment, love of
music, and an appreciation of the beau
tiful things Of life.

The Education OF The Virgin
Island American Citizen
Address by CHAS. H.. EMANUEL
Before Third Annual Convention of Vir-
gin Islands Education Association
April Il, 1927.

continued from yesterdays AUjS)
We have already noted how the preva-
lence of general prosperity had blinded
the people of ST.. Thomas to the real edu-
c%ational condition Of their island, and
fattered them with the suggestion their
good fortune was due TO the excellence
Of their meagre scholastic appointments.
But when the harbor was filled with dis
abIed vessels in need of repairs. and
bottomry bonds brought fabulous sums
to the chests OF ship chambers and others;
when doubloons could be picked up in
the streets, and lottery tickets made peo-
pie rich overnight; when the poor lived
upon the larCer8 and Wardr9bes of the
rich; and when p~aternaIism in govern
ment removed the cares of civic affairs
from the shoulders of the citizens in
those days of merchant princes and a
happy and carefree population, the time
might have been propitiOus, but not at
all tolerant of prophets and seers, and
all those intrepid ones who tried to as
sumo this role were quickly silenced in
a hulabalOo of popular clamor and social
Ostrecism. Consequently, no thought was

educational foundation against the fu-
ture. for the simple reason that no one
had time to observe.the rapid increase OF
invention and discovery that was to
change the course OF commercial trans
actions and the methods of commercial
business in such a manner as to make
the harbOr of St. Thomas no longer in
dispensabIe as halfway station between
European and American creditors ard
their Spanish. American clients. And
then, again, those of OCr fOrefathers who
in the year 1870 stood with bateI breath,
and saw upon the field Of Sedan the con
summation of a human drama Of rapa-
ciOus greed and will to TOwer or the one
hand, and v|aulting ambition and bung-
ling lncapaClty on the other, could net be
expected to t~Oresee its catastrophe re
perCuSsiOnS IN the year 1914, which, with
its peculiar ruthIessDess, swept away
the last remaining prop of the unstable
and superficial economic structure OF the
island, and left all concerned to founder
beneath the ruins without the requisite
capacity to carry on in other directions.
In St. Croix, when the necessary de-
auctions in regard to external stimuli
have been made, we will find that the
reactions have parallelled those OF 81.
Thomas to a remarkable degree. Here
a fatal d~alliance with the elusive sugar
market, and the axe of The 18th Amend
ment have felIed to the ground the last
chance of survival under the old scheme
and as a result of these inhospiCabIe eX-
perieuces, all Virgin islanders are now
standing bewildered like one looking into
a deep void, uncertain as to what the
next move shall be. This brings Us to
another phase of our discourse, by put
ting the question, Why is this the case?
The answer is plain to those who have
taken the trouble to study the situation:
The faulty education of the past failed
in its task Of laying a foundation of the
requisite aGmiXtuIe of right thought and
habit, sound ideals and practical know
ledge, which would have blossomed out
into initiative, energy, system. and a
becoming respect for hard work judi
ciously and IucraliveIy applied. | am
sufficient of a disciple of Haegel to look
at most things from the viewpoint of his
materlalist philosophy, and education is
by no means the least of these
The chief purpose of education is to
equip the Individual with a full compile
ment of keen.edged social implements
with which to make a decent and res
pectab!e living in the world. and to fill
his proper place in the social scheme. |

In the days when the wax-cylnder phonograph
was comparatively new, home recording was
very popular. Everyone who had voice, or
thought he had, would try it out on the long
suffering photograph. Everyone who came near
one of the machines wanted to try out the
latest wrinkle in home entertainment.
