SUNDAY CONCERT BY THE
CURTIS STRING QUARTET

The annual complimentary con-
cert, given by the Curtis String
Quartet, of Philadelphia, in the
chamber music auditorium of the
Library Of Congress, will take place
next Sunday afternoon at 4:30. The
four artists are members Of the
faculty Of the Curtis Institute of
Music and the concert is the gift
of Mrs. Mary Louise Curtis Box,
founder Of the school, in the interests
of national chamber music.
The linking Of two famous music
patrons, in this event, is particularly
significant Of music in America. For
this entire series Of free concert
with admission by card only, which
must be obtained at the library, is
the gift Of Elizabeth Sprague Cool
idge who has established @founda-
ton at the Library Of Congress
through the assistance Of Carl Engel,
chief Of the music division there.
The quartet consists of Carl
Flesch, Emanuel Zetlin, Louis Bailey
and Felix Salmond. They will play
the Beethoven String Quartet in E
flat, opus 1877, and the Dvorak String
Quartet in F. opus SO. The Beethoven
work Is one OF the greatest pieces
of ensemble music literature and is
seldom heard because OF its diff.
ficulties. The Dvorak is the "Ameri-
can" Quartet, and is near relative
to the New World Symphony" with
genial tuneful music. IL

MUSIC
- By Jessie MacBride -
REAL CONTRALTO SINGS
GERMAN LIEDER RARELY

Sigrid Onegin, contralto of the
"Met," possessed of a deep and
dramatic contralto voice, gave her
second recital in Washington yester.
day afternoon when she was pre-
sented by Mrs. Wilson Greene at
Polls Theater.
Onegin brings us gratifying and
exquisite interpretations of Brahms.
There are few singers today who so
catch the whimsical life and variety
as well as the sbeauty Of his music
as Onegin did in group that was
dominated by the great "Sappische
Ode" given with a rare legato, a
wealth of round regal tones and an
instructive value to its pathos and
ats cadence.
The artist opened her program
with Handel and Haydn in which
she was less happy. Here her voice
was uneven, she ''scooped" her
phrases, and was quite duh in mo-
ments that might have held magma
tive variety.
It is interesting to find this artist
so alive in lighter moments. There
is a sparkle to her vivacious singing
not often found in q voice so deep.
She gave delightful reading to the
Donizetti recitative and aria from
La Fayorita," which has so many
tests for the vocalist. Here her
luscious tones as well as her dra-
nIatic' variety were excellent, it was
genuine ''bel canto." In the Carmen
'Habanera," as encore. she rather
overdid the abandon, but that rares.
Of songs, the Schubert "Erlking" has
seldom been SO compelling and so
rich in its three-fold character de.
nneation.
Nine. Onegin had at the piano an
artist in Franz Rupp, who brought
each song a definite contribution.
He impressed at once by the
authority with which he played.
Never before have I heard the open.

pianist of power, Mr.. Rupp is there
to speak for the composer. which he
does forcefully. while holding his ac-

Nine. Onegin also gave as encores
a Swedish lullaby, the Brahms
Der Schmid," FAIRY Pipers" OF
Harriet Brewer. and a final encore
"Goodby" song.

However, both Mrs. Gerry and

Attention is being called to the
tremendously effective work she did
down in North Carolina in manag-

the late George w. Vanderbilt, until
her daughter came Of age, and to
the development of the cottage in

DEVELOPMENT OF BUILDING
TRACED BY HARRY HARDING
IN HIS /SALUTATORY TALK
lBv HARRY b. HARDINGl
Ladies and Gentlemen:

Ladies and Gentlemen:
1T IS MY pleasure tonight to
/ welcome to the commence
ment of the class of 1927 the,
parents and friends of the
graduating class and the mem
bers of the school board, who,
by word and deed, have man
ifested their interest in our
educational progress.
Since the dawn Of existence,
our world has been in process
of building. Life has taken q
road from the simple to the
complex. In all that surrounds
us, we sec the evidence OF this
r.act.
With the beginning Of ciyili-
zation came science in all its
allied forms: chemistry, physics,
biology, astronomy and pllysi-
cology, slowly emerging and
gradually developing. We learn
that the science Of chemistry,
which treats Of the kinds Of
matter in the universe, their
properties. and laws Of combi-
nations, began with the Egypt.
ian priests. These priest3 were
SO secret in their researches
that they we're believed to be
wizards and magicians. The
motive of their secrecy was that
they were trying TO discover a
process by which all metals
might be turned into sold. They
did not attain their end, but
through working toward this
end, they gained a fund OF
knowledge about many sub
stances in nature which was and
still is exceedingly useful. Lit
tie by little, the original object
became neglected. Men learned
that they could not become
Midases, but they learned TO
use the wonderful elements
given them by God.
This steady up -DullOl1lS Coll
be traced in the development.
The first unit Of government
was. the family. The oldest man
in this family (Which includes
sons, their wives and their
sons), was the recognized
source of authority. AS tirne
went on, step by step, the form
cf government became more in
tricate. Because Of a similarity
of religious beliefs, several
families united to form a clan
Then several clans came to-
gether for q mutual protection
against invasion from an out
side source. This tribe, as i
Douglas daily dispatch., 1927-05-20

was called, united with other
tribes for commercial reasons
to form the unit known as n
city. This progress continued
UP through the ages until our
present form Of government
was evolved. Civilization first
dawned, when men learned to
live together peaceably under
the jurisdiction of government
end laws. The darkest chap
ters in the history Of this de-
velopment are those which re-
count the terrible suffering of
men under periods of anarchy.
We, therefore, believe that we
have reached the highest type
Of building, as far as govern
mcnt is concerned.
All buildings must have a
foundation. Some one has said
that education is the largest
word in the vocabulary Of life
because it synlbolizes all the
forces, that have raised man
from the plane of the brute.
When civilization began, mod
ern education began. We can
trace it in the pages of his
tory from ancient times to the
present day, and in all its
stages it has been a steady pro-
cess of advance. Civilization
has been and will be unceasing-
ly carried on by each genera
ton. With each additional adj
vancement has come added re-
sponsibility. We must consider
Yourselves in q similar position
Ito the man whom Christ gave
Isa talent. Because we plan to
Ncarry on this building we have
Nstudied-that we might build
slwell. We are the, builders! You
ire the builders! And as such
We welcome you here tonight.
