The plan carries out the idea OF rest and har-
nouy Of color. Trailing vines, endless flowers,

and smooth paths win spread before the visitor in

statue Of the goddess done by PhidiaS.
Americans do not worship gods and god
desses OF stone or mythical divinities, nor
heroes but they do adore the quality
which the Greeks expressed In noble
sculptural forms. and that IS Why meri-
torious work OF sculpture makes a sue
cessful appeal TO the imagination
It represents TO US either the physical
or moral attributes which inspire our ad-
miration-
It was not simply an accident that the
Greeks were such devotces OF sculpture
and OF what we nowadays call physical
culture.
2 The Greeks loved physical perfection.
and they attributed TO their divinities and
heroes the POSSESSION Of strength and
beauty and grace, and the contemplation
OF such qualities in the statutes which
adorned the temples and groves and public
places gave the Greek youths their high

CREEKS COMMEMORATIVE
QUALITIES THEY ADMIRED.
The Greeks commemorated IN their
sculpture the qualities in their mythical
gods and heroes which inspired their ad-
miration and worship.
When Phidlas executed the great statue
OF oiympisn Joye he expressed the Greek
idea OF sovereign mind and Will.
Youthful beauty was typihed and wor-
SHIPPED in The figures OF Apollo. and femi
nine grace and loyel!aess in those OF
Aphrodite. while PaIlss Athena inspired the
specIaI alteration Of the Athenians because
she represented the deals Of iustlSe -

clature. and the minds eye OF the artist
sees at once that there is poetry in eIec-
tricity and social economy and education.
and a female form divine climbs to the
roof and sits upon a colonnade or on u
pediment TO typify The Spirit OF tho Lib
eraI Arts or The Genius OF Education"
or The Awakening Of Light"
And then the multitude comes and ad-
mires and goes away inspired and wishing
that such creations might not be for a day
or a week or six months, but a part Of
our everyday. prosaic life for twelve
months in the year. And our public and
private architecture is rapidly manifesting
and rejecting the growth OF such senu-
ment.
Since the time when Pericles gave Phid-
las his commission to supervise the scuip-
ture for the Acropclis few tasks in the
sculptural line have been undertaken that

sculptors profession in that golden age
of Greece.
The Athenians spent forty-four talents,
or more than half million dollars in our
money, for the gold alone with which the
statue OF Pallas Athene. by Phidias. was
adorned.
While the sculpture for the Parthenon.
Erectheum and other structures OF the
Acropolis was in the making. the work
absorbed a very large share OF public at
tention.
In these practical times the average
citizen would probably vote against a pub
lie official who allowed so much Of the
taxpayers money 20 be expended in such
undertakings and would approve OF giving
some OF the sculptors other jobs. such as
the making OF boots and shoes. steel rails.
