COLLEGE NOTES By CYNTHIA IA PEARLMAN (Special Tallahassee Correspond- t of The Citizen) Ceccceeccacceseseoceecee TALLAHASSEE, Dec. 8.—-Key West students heard Dalies Frantz, American pianist, Friday night in the first Artists Series of this year. Each year an artist series is held on the campus. Famous art- ists are invited to come to the college to perform. Frantz is said to be an example of what may be achieved by a gifted aspirant] without means and one who fully avails himself of the free advant- ages offered in America for pub- lic appearances. He won the com- petition which was opened for solo appearance with the Detriot Symphony Orchestra of which Os- sip Gabriolowits was conductor. Aiming at a New York debut re- cital, he entered the Naumberg Foundation competition — whichn{ carried this opportunity with it. Again, although there were 100 entrants, Frantz won. From this time on he has risen to take his place in the musical circles of the world. Frantz builds up his pro-j} gram with studied care, weighing each number and the next one to follow, Rarely is he moved by an ovation to break that continuity, but saves all encores until the set It has been ing ito Florida” was then “travel- ing.” The winding, dusty road‘ led through six states and piloting was.a matter of “dead r iSun because. signs and the route num- farcon ae Z bers; were absent.

The simplicity of the one and the emotional depths of the other have found appeal to Frantz. i i Hl j i You an Nation’s Every great science has through a long period of quackery. Astronomy emerged from a long pe- riod of astrology. The science of medi- cine has found it a difficult task to shake off the quack- ery that per- meated and dominated it for centuries. Quackeryts based on igno- rance of.natu- ral laws, The quack has no logical, scien- tifie knowledge of the relation of cause and ef- fect. Hence he functions wita the boldness characteristic of pre- ; sumptive ignorance. Modern business is a highly com- plex science. That which appears on the surface as simple and plausible is almost always misleading and funda- mentally wrong. The quack accepts superficial appearances as complete knowledge, and proceeds to adminis- ter dope. He treats symptoms, not causes. To the man or woman who knows nothing of the laws of business, and has the hallucination that employers arbitrarily fix wages, the minimum wage law is plausible. They learn that large numbers of men are re- ceiving eight, nine and ten dollars 2 week, and a large number of women and girls are working for seven. eight and nine dollars a week.

Among those who were present at the dance held in the gym the other night were: Misses Eloise Guito, Betty Curtis, Margaret Neff and Elizabeth Ayala. The Methodist students at F.S.C.W. recently presented a program at their church here. A play was given, the title of which was “The Whirlwind.” It was very much enjoyed. Among those pres- ent were: Miss Anne Kennedy, Miss Frances Lowe, Miss Jennie Mae Johnson, Miss Edna Roberts, Miss Cleo Kemp. Anne, Frances and Cleo were among the hostess- es at a supper held at the Metho- dist Student House immediately before the program. Mrs. Frank Guito and her daughter, Miss Sylvia Guito, were jguests of Miss Eloise Guito here giving holidays.

Then the mini- mum wage is proposed as an effec- tive remedy for the untoward cond:- tion. The minimum fixed for men is eighteen dollars a week, and the min- imum fixed for women and girls is fourteen dollars a week. This means that no employer is allowed to pay men less than eighteen collars a weck d Your Affairs Minimum Wage Quackery By GUS W. DYER Professor of Economics and Sociology, Vanderbilt University passed) nor women and girls less than four- teen dollars a week. Under such « law simple mindea and uninformed oat in Cac and quack reformers in pai —— see the wages of all the women and girls whe were receiving seven, eight and nine dollars a week immediately advanced to fourteen dollars a week and the wages of al} meo working for less than the minimum at once advanced to eighteen dollars a week. Such reasoning is so purile and fan- tastic that it would be laughable were it not vitally connected with @ very serious subject A minimum wage law doesn't open the door to high wages fer those who are receiving low wages; it closes the door of employment altogether to these unfortunate people and denies them the inalienable right to work. to sell their services on an open mar~ ket at the price fixed by the market. The law gives a monppoly wage ad- vantage to the strong and fast and efficient. workers at expense of the weak and slow id inefficient workers. It would be just as logical to put a minimum price on hogs and potatoes and chickens in order to help that great class of “farmers who receive low priees for these commodities en account of inferior quality. as tt would % pass a minimum wage law The effect of such price fixing would be to drive these poor farmers out of the market and send them in'o bankruptcy and pauperism. A mini- mum wage law would have a similar effect. Andrew Jackson, Abraham Lincoln | and a host of other great leaders | came from environments below the standards of those whom the re- former would now uplift with a mini- mum wage. They became the leaders that they were, not because of @ paternalistic government-fixed stand- ard of income but rather, we suspect, because they were absolutely depen- dent upon themselves in a tough bat- tle against hard conditions.
