wenn @SHAWA, ONTARIO, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 1922 i ei ' Rn ;» Oshawa and District Hiker In Hospital Horace Negus, one of the pair of trancontinental barrel rollers who passed through Oshawa a short while ago, is in hospital at Newmarket where he has undergone 'an opgra- tion for appendicitis. In the mean- time his partner Lawrence McDuff and A. J. Griffin who was with an- other party of hikers when going through Oshawa, are trundling the barrels. Negus expects to rejoin the party at Winnipeg. Griffin is a former Oshawa man, ° Firemen Held Dance A large number were present at the dance held in the Town Hall last evening under the auspices of the Oshawa Fire Department. The fire- men have planned to hold one every Friday evening. The proceeds will go towards defraying cxpensee of the department in attending the annual demonstration and' tournament of the Provincial Firemen's Association which will be held next year in Brantford. The convention was held in Oshawa this year, Discuss Technical School . At the regular meeting of the Board of Education this week very little important business was trans- acted. A little discussion took place regarding the proposed technical school but no definite plan has been decided on, Recently Mr, Gavin, As- sistant Director of Technical Educa- tion, of the Department of Educa- tion, Toronto, visited Oshawa and looked over the situation with the Property Committee of the local Board. He will present his report to the Property Committee, who in turn will report to the Doard. Shakespeare was the first man to use the word "hurry", and he also coined the word "dwindle." Spencer made the word *"elfin,"" and Milton coined "pandemonium." Plumbing, Heating and Repairs Boiler Room Repairs a Specialty J. S.

Titterson, a young man who gave a Belleville addiess, was ar- rested on Wednesday by the local police. They allege that, he hired an automobile from Cox's garage for three hours, He 'did not return it within the time limit, in fact, 24 hours had elapsed before he brought the machine back apd in the mean- time a warrant had been issued for his arrest. He: Will appear before Magistrate Hind in police court on Wednesday morning. Faces Perjury Charge Thomas Skintey, alias "Tom the Polack," facing several charges of a breach of the D.T.A., appeared in police court yesterday before Mag- istrate Hind and was remanded for sentence. L. Connelly, who had giv- en a statement previously which hint- ed that Skintéy had sold liquor to him, yesterday on the stand gave such contradictory evidence that a charge of perjury was laid against him. He is at present confined to Whitby jail. His case will be heard next Wednesday, Until as late as the middle of the seventeenth century to' call a man an "idiot" did not necessarily imply that he was not mentally fit, but merely that he was just an ordin- wry private citizen, Jeremy Taylor, the great divine, used the word in this sense when he wrote: "Humility is a duty in great ones as well as in idiots." The Greek word "idioteh" meant a private person. An elephant's hide is kind of thick, but his brain functions rather quick. Bowling Games Were All Close . AY oO no | 5 po > Re id In the Realm of Music PAGE THREE 'SOME PROBLEMS IN STUDYING MUSIC It is frequently necessary to take lessons in the art of learning "How to Study' before attempting to mas- ter music. Many students meet with great difficulties and keen disap- pointments in their desire to become musicians, but in the majority of cases failure to succeed is due to the inability to study with results. Be- fore engaging in the study of music one should undergo a mental prepafr- ation--this work will consist in training the mind to be active, learn- ing to retain the memory of knowl- edge once acquired and absolute ap- plication of the mind to the work en- gaged in; this preparation, if earn- nestly engaged in, will enable one to pursue the study of music with the most gratifying results. Music is a serious and deep study, It contains 80 many problems to solve and so many difficulties to master that it probably requires more earnest at- tention than any other branch of art, Many students fail to study suffic- iently, while others labor earnestly enough, but lack animation. Those who supply the most strenuous ef- forts do not always accomplish the | greatest achievements, but the pro- gress attained in the musical realm depends largely upon efficiency. Some students study hard without effort and accomplish much. On the other hand, some students can learn more in an hour than others can in three, which goes to show that the former studies with action and true sincerity of effort and has developed a retentive mind, while the latter la- bors with much difficulty, but through carelessness and lack of vig- ilance suffers from deficiency of mental activity and retaining pow- ers. ASSOCIATION WITH MUSIC { Music is moral only when it is as- | sociated with noble elevating ideals, | words or actions. Then its import- {ance in the human drama is trans- | cendent, But music by itself is like | fire, water, and electricity, enor- | mously valuable when properly used, | but disastrously destructive when not properly used. Music may be used to degrade, as it {is used in questionable places all over the world. But when music is assocated with men and women and children under conditions enabling them to absorb the beauties of the art with- out any degrading tendencies, its value is infinite. The mind saturated with the best of music has very little cerebral space for unworthy degrading thoughts. Naturally it turns towards higher things, and that is perhaps the great human advantage of the best music, whether it comes to you via a great symphony concert, the phonograph, the voice of some fam- ous singer, or by means of the radio. THE HISTORY OF A FAMILIAR SONG The words of the song "Annie Laurie," which has touched the hearts of millions of people, were written by William Douglas and tell the story of his love for the beautiful, daughter of Sir Robert Laurie, first baronet of Maxwelton. Its history dates back to the end of the seven- teenth century, Douglas, so tradi- tion says, wrote and sung the song when he was a soldiec in Flanders. He is touchingly pictured as resting on the breast of a fellow soldier when dying from a bullet wound. He holds aloft a lock of Annie Laurie's hair and repeats the words: "And for bonnie Annie Laurie I'd lay me doon and dée." Whether this is truth or fancy, at any rate William Douglas's grand- daughter, who was consulted on the family history, says that her grand- father Douglas was certainly in love with Annie Laurie, "but," she added, "he did not get her after all." The original song contained but two verses. A third equally charm- ing was added by an unknown hand. | The music as we know it today was | composed by Alice Anne Spottis-| woode, who in 1836 became Lady | John Scott, It is modern in compar- | ison with the words, but the flavor of its melody is old-fashioned and sweet, The ancestral home of Annie] Laurie, who later married a certain | (Continued on page 6) Boulders, Penpushers and Go Get- | ters were the winners in the ori Bowling League last night, there being two A, Group fixtures.
