Mr.. John Lee. farmer of Greenville,
Oregon, in relating recent experience
to reporter.
1.-THE weather" he continued, "plays
an important part in a farmers life
and in this instance its effects
upon mine lasted for several years.
1t was in the spring of 1895. Working
in the fields during long stretch of cold
rain and wind brought ON an attack of
the grip. 1t took right hold OF me and
I suffered terribly with it. When that
finally went away it left me with the
ague. Several doctors prescribed for me
but their medicine did me no good. My
head ached and was dizzy; my blood
was very bad and was SO very nervous
that every little sound annoyed and
worried me. Besides this had a very
severe case of stomach trouble, food did
not nourish me and my appetite was
poor. 1t would be impossible for me to
describe my misery"
"But how did you get relief?" asked
the reporter.

another, and the business Of purveying
to it has been organized, in accord
ance with the genius of the industrial
world, into a trust commonly called
the syndicate. The root Of the power
of the syndicate lies in the fact that
it virtually controls what is known
as the booking of all the great theatre
cal centers. BY virtue of this fact, it
has made itself master of almost all
the plays that possess appreciable
commercial value, and of all the most
popular actors. At first the leading
authors and players fought bitterly
against it's control and swore brave
oaths against it; but after brief trial
of strength all but one broke them as
'bravely and came humbly into the
fold.
Beyond question the syndicate has
brought great material benefit to the
American theater. Under the old sys-
tenn not many of the Independent man
ayers had sufficient reserve Of capital
to undertake elaborate and expensive
productions, and when they did under
take them the chance of failures was
considerable. The force of Fictitious
rivalry made it difficult or impossible
to secure the best actors, to arrange
the most economical lines of travel
and to secure the best available
theaters. Tine trust, on the other hand
has plenty of ready money to invest in
anything that promises gain, either
immediate or remote. 1t is able to
make instant use of the lucrative plays

for men have opened their doors to
women, and all the separate women's
colleges are overcrowded. There are
over 10000 woman students in Ameri-
can colleges, and the work has spread
in Spain, in France, in Germany, in
England, in Russia, in Austria, and
even makes a beginning in Egypt and
inc far East. However viewed, as
an economic or social problem, as an
influence in home, society, church and
ste lie, no movement of our wonderful
last century can be ranked above this
in the scope and endurance Of it's in
Il renee.
College education for girls was an
answer to a new need. There were
always women active in public con-
Germs, and educated women, but never
a time before when women took so
large a part in the worlds life. In
literature, in journalism, in education,
in all the professions, in organized
chs rites, hospitals, prisons, in mis-
sions, temperance and Red Cross, in
POLITICS, even, and in business, woman
is at work, not as an unintelligent
and dependent factor, but as director
and organizer.
Such an extension of influence and
re- possibility demands larger training
of body, mind and spirit; and college
education is the best single answer to
+Fr demand. How does it, meet it?
First, it sets before itself an ideal

definitely toward it. That ideal is not

AS one advances in college and be-

of economics, philosophy, science, his

duction, as in the case of Pinero's de-
lightful comedietta, "TreIawney of the
Wells"
Last year a strong movement was
set on foot in London looking to the
establishment of a repertory theater.
Almost Immediately the Times came
out with an article ridiculing the pro-
ject. AS far as the article contained
any argument, it was this: The
theater in England is admittedly not
on the highest plane; but the theater
in America is obviously very much
worse off, so 1t is best to leave things
as they are. At this time a sympa-
thetic discussion of the project took
place in America. The New York
Evening Post argued that the projects
for an independent theater had in the
past proved discouraging failures, and
that it was best not to push the pres
ent project for fear that it's failure
might discourage some one in the flu
ture from attempting a similar project.
In the history of the theater the
prophecy of despair has probably
never been pushed to such sublime
heights of illogic.
If these are the opinions of the
Thunderer and of the preux chevalier
of journalism, what is to be expected
of the great theater going public? In
the slow course of time a great deal,
as think, is to be expected. There
are, to be sure, grave obstacles. In
each city 1t will be necessary to have
at the outset an endowment of $500, 900

see a great and good comedian, such
as the dear, familiar Rip Van Wrinkle,
who happens to express it's own deep
wholesomeness of heart and it's ex-
pansive joy in life. If it's attention is
caught by distinguished foreign ac-
tor, as in the case of Nine. Bernhardt
or Signora Duse, it is because the
greatness OF the actor has been SEN
satonally advertised. 1t pays big prices
not so much because it understands
nigh art as because it likes to think
that 1T appreciates the best.
70 the prophets of despair this pub
lie is sordid and degenerate. To the
prophets of hope it is sordid and I'M
regenerate. The passion for despising
it utterly is the one ground on which
both parties unite. Yet, after all has
been said and proved against 1t, the
fact remains that it is the great
theater- going public. In 1T resides
the crude material of the national
genius. 1t follows that a movement
for making the theater or the drama
In any true sense national organiZa-
ton must have deep roots in it's in
buttons and instincts. The first step
in considering projects for reform is
to understand it's limitations and ca
pacities, to become familiar with things
as they are here and now
The crux Of the present problem as
to the drama is at once geographical
and commercial. The great theater-
going public resides in many large
cities, which are far distant from one
