 William Wirt Summary
Wirt was born on November 8, 1772 in Blaidensburg, Maryland.
Wirt was born in Bladensburg, Maryland, in 1772 to Jacob and Henrietta Wirt.
Wirt's thriving law practice kept him from further literary work at least until 1810, when, according to his biographer, John Pendleton Kennedy, he began an abortive series of essays called "The Sylph." However, none of these pieces was published, and if a manuscript survives, it has yet to be located.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Wigand Wirt
Wirt, however, found a new opponent in Father Conrad Hensel, who, flinging his invectives against the entire order, forced the latter to turn with their complaint to the Bishop of Strasburg.
But the Bull and its confirmation were now interpreted by the opponents of the Dominicans in the sense that the pope forbade the denial of the Immaculate Conception, an interpretation which renewed the controversy in all its bitterness.
In the meantime Wirt was elected prior in Stuttgart, and in this capacity posted on the doors of the convent church a document in which he accused his opponents as promoters of heresy.

 New Digital Music Player Prompts Lawsuit
The new California case tests whether an important 1992 copyright law, originally intended to restrict the use of digital audio tape players and other digital recording devices, also applies to a computer-related device like the Rio.
Also, Wirt said, consumers can record their own CDs onto a computer hard drive in MP3 format and then transfer the files to the Rio, which is smaller and more resistant to shocks than a portable CD player.
Wirt asserted that purely on a narrow legal basis, the Rio is a lawful product because the Audio Home Recording Act does not apply to computers and computer peripherals.

 The Great Experiment: A Film Journey with America's Public Schools
Wirt, then the superintendent of schools in Gary, Indiana, developed a plan of school operation known variously as the Gary plan, the platoon system, and Wirt’s “Work-Study-Play” plan.
Wirt’s idea, known as “progressive education,” embraced industrial training, agricultural education, and social education, under the assumption that the child learns best in those experiences in which he or she has a vital interest, and that modes of behavior are most easily learned by actual performance.
Wirt “wanted to keep kids occupied, busy, and involved all day, and not have them sit bored at a desk, listening to the teacher drone on, doing busy work,” says Ronald Cohen, author of Children of the Mill: Schooling and Society in Gary, Indiana 1906-1960.
