One of the very few non-
operate works of Schubert ]
had never heard until yester-
day is the Mass in A fiat. D.
678. AS a music-lover, not as
a critic (the two are not neces-
sarily mutually exclusive), ]
owe Stephen Prussing and his
forces at the New York Avenue
Presbyterian Church thanks
for an opportunity to hear a
work of extraordinary Splendor,
power, tenderness and doctrinal
persuasivenesS.
Completed in 1922, the A
fiat mass is Schubert's first for
large orchestra, soloists and
chorus. AS a matter of fact,
except for several operas, it is
probably the first great orches-
trail work in the composers
most mature style. coming as
it does just a month before the
Unfinished" symphony, but
after the earlier lighter SYM
phonies and the other un-
finished symphony in E.
1t is a work of unusual
grandeur, for which Schubert
had as models only the last six
masses Of Haydn and the c
major mass of Beethoven, a
work trifling in comparison.
Each of the five movements is
in style and in handling of
forces similar to the late Haydn
masses, although often clauses
within a movement come to a
full close, a characteristic I do
not remember in Haydn.
The emotional effect of the
work is, however, not Haydn
but pure Schubert. If the read
er will imagine the melody and
harmony of Die Schoene
Muellerin," written a year
after, and the orchestral depth
and peculiar Schubert pacing
of the Unfinished" symphony,
all transformed to embellish
the ordinary of the mass, he
may have some conception of
the work. I have never learned
to describe music, but only to
suggest familiar comparisons.
Two features of the piece
impressed me in a work I
thought magnificent from be-
ginning to end-the ineffably
devoted "Sanctus," culminat-
ing in a highly original "Ho-
sanah," and a consciously SIM
pie homophonic 'Dona nobis, "
in a way a letdown from the
more elaborate music that had
gone before, but after all quite
convincing.
The performance was good,
although the orchestra needed
much more rehearsal. The
chorus was accurate and full
bodied; the four soloists were
all entirely capable; Charlton
Meyer was excellent in his ex-
tensive organ part, and Ste
phen Prussing did a workman
like job Of conducting.

Third Folio Shakespeare Priced
BY Von Allen BrodIey

Since I wrote a column
about the famous first folio
edition of Shakespeare's
plays, which is worth $4,000
or more. a number of readers
have asked about the later
folio editions.
The third folio edition is
perhaps the scarceSt of these,
because most of the copies
are supposed to have been
burned in the great London
fire of 1866.
There were two separate
issues Of the third folio. the
first in 1868 and the second
in 1864. The latter seems to
have appeared most often in
auction sales, but either issue
of the third folio edition is
worth 5000 to $1,000, or even
more, depending upon condl-
ton.
The title page of the 1864
issue reads, in part:
MR.. WILLIAM HAKE-
SPEARS Comedies, HistO-
tories, and Tragedies i.
The Third Impression q.

THE COUNCILS VIEW

We wonder how this hus-
band has become such a tim
i'd soul that he is afraid to
call a spade a spade and tell
his wife she has no business
spending the summer in a
house alone with another
man.
We see nothing but foggy
obscurantism in all the 9TH
er arguments. 1t is nonsense
to talk about loyalty and
housework when a muc h
more important issue is in
volved.
Roger is all wrong to put
his friends on the spot in
this way. Any friend worth
his salt would simply have re-
tired from the scene when
the situation became appar-
ent.
And, we fear, any wife
worth her salt would not
want to accept a setup of
this kind.
Ethel may proclaim her
loyalty to her husband and
her disinterest in Roger, but
we think she is either inSin-
cere or lacking in judgment
and maturity if she doesn't
see this.

Budget For Prince Edward

Two Acts Of the recent General AS
sembly have been taken into con-
sideration by the budget committee of
the Prince Edward Board of Supervi-
sors in presenting the annual budget
for 196O-61.
First, local appropriations act to
encourage the education of children,
which is printed in full in an adjoining
column. This provides that local gov
ernng body may levy taxes and APP
proprlate for educational purposes I'M
der such uniform regulations and in
such amounts as many be provided by
ordinances
The budget includes an item of
S27O0O0 for educational purposes. 1t is
contemplated the board of supervisors
will adopt ordinances for the uniform
distribution to applicants to be dis
bursed on an equal basis for education
purposes to each child in the county.
Under ordinary circumstances a total
OF better than 5000 youngsters were in
schools in the county. In the current
year the Prince Edward School Founda
ton has LAG pupils with an average
attendance of 94.0s per cent. Training
eenters operated by the Prince Edward
Christian Association have reported
approximately 600. 1t is estimated that
this fund will provide 500 for each
child which will be under instruction in
the coming year.
The second Act of the Assembly
taken INTO account by the budget com
mlttee, was house Bill sos, known as
the DerVlshlan Act, which is printed in
1ull in an adjoining column.
The Farmville herald. (Farmville, Va.) 1957-current, 1960-05-03

Under this Act the governing body
may provide contributions made by per-
sons to nonsectraian schools shall con-
stitute credit against taxes due the
county. The limit of such exemption
can be set by the governing body, not
to exceed 25 per cent.
Under provisions of this Act persons
who make contributions to private non
sectarian schools operated in the county
can claim deduction in county taxes
not to exceed 25 per cent. Of couse the
contribution will be entirely voluntary.
The budget for Prince Edward for the
coming year takes into consideration
such exemptions as can now be esti-
mated on the basis of IS per cent max
imum.
Provisions for the use of these two
new Acts Of the 1860 General Assembly
were included in the budget as proposed
in lieu Of the budget for the operation
OF public schools as presented by the
Prince Edward School Board The bud
get for public schools was presented
according to requirement of public
school law. Prince Edward County
having abandoned public schools may
look toward to supporting private
schools through the Acts establishing
private schools as a State policy
1t should be noted that this legisla-
ton is permissive, not mandatory.
The Prince Edward budget as pre-
cented by the Board of Supervisors will
be subject to a public hearing on June
{, and according to law must be adopted
by June 80

BabsOn Discusses Our Educational Costs

BABSON PARK, MASS, April
% = Probably no event this
past year in higher education
has stirred up more of a Juror
than the late B eardsley
Ruml's* plan for curing the fis-
cal ailments of our colleges.
A Taxpayers Problem
Most readers know that in
flatlon has made such an i'm
pact upon our colleges that fees
have been constantly increased
year after year Today we are
failing to develop some of our
best brains because many bril-
liant high school graduates
just cannot afford college.
To slow down this ever accel-
Grating spiral of educational
costs. and to attract and hold
better faculty. it has been pro-
posed that the colleges mass
produce students as an automo-
bile factory mass-produces cars.
Theoretically, if professor
teachers so in a class intead
Of IS students. he has doubled his
production. Greater productive
ty should cut operating costs and
in turn lead to higher salaries.
Another suggestion is to chop
out of the curriculum the many
courses of study for which de-
mand is slight and classes
small. I personally do not be-
lieve in large classes; but l do
believe that both high schools
and colleges could omit many
courses which are now clutter
ing UP education a deficiency.
Reactions to Economies
Reactions to these plans have
been violent. Educators every
where have been vociferous in
their opposition. They argue that
students are to be shaped on a
production line as chunks of
metal are milled and bored for
engine blocks. The large lecture
hall, educators rightly contend
would then become little more
than a means for transferring
the professor s notes to the stu
dents notebooks. A college edu-
cation is not just examining the
mind with facts about history
or science or business. There
must be reaction by students;
where there is no reaction,
there is no learning. Ideas must
be chewed, digested. assimilat-
ed into the students own
philosophy. To effect this reac-
ton an instructor must chal-
lenge his students, listen to their
questions, criticize or encourage
them. Education is the sum to-
tai of ones development of char
acter, ones attitude and reac-
tons to life. With such educa-
tionad goals fully agree.

Yet if the average high school
or college would be honest about
how effectively it is accomplish
ing these goals, all it has to do
is to seek the opinion of its
most mature students. When it
does this l wager many an
administrator will be shocked to
learn how many instructors are
complete bOres. The question of
cutting out courses is entirely
different; when only a few stu
dent want a certain course, let
them go to a nearby college and
get it. Such courses should be
taught by only one college within
a radius of Is miles.
Real Problem is One of Values

past-time of belittling things in

our educators SO stoutly defend.
