 Schubert ranks with the great composers of all time. He died a pauper, but left to the world a wealth of the product of genius which cannot be estimated in terms of value.
 There have been many such fortunate un- fortunates who suffered and blessed the casual generations which followed them
 Schuberts love romance was tragic and sadly touching. It his painful fortune to possess la nature intensely sensitve-sensitive in every way. The fact added to his tortures of mind made him easy the prey to tortures of his physical beng-of his psychical being. But matchless harmony may be born of pain Schubert fit many hundreds of beautiful melodies He was a true child of art and genius His complacent and smug-faced fellows who passed him daily in their routine, sordd activities little dreamed that the pale youth-he was but little over thirty when he died-who furtively and shyy went his way detsined to speak familia, With all the world of culture in the speech O, siorlous song to command admiration and de- vot1on which is to constitute his priceless her. ltage, perhaps through centuries to come.
