in the worlds affairs for more than a de-
cade, the attention and interest of civil
lied people have been drawn more closely
to Tolsto the great Russian man OF letters,
during the past twelve months than ever
before. This has been true in part to MS
late severe illness and again because OF the
vogue of mis- most recent work, Resurrec-
tion" which has caught the fancy OF dram,
atiStS and theatrical managers the Worlu
over. Resurrection is distinctly feature
of the present dramatic season. standing
out as no other play of the year has done.
To the students of biography and literature
the life of Tolstoi is one Of romantic, not to
say dramatic interest. Tolstoi's works are
so closely bound up with his own life that
the study of one gives an impression OF tne
other. His earlier works were naturally
associated with army life, for at the age OF
twenty-three he enlisted in the artillery and
went to the Caucasus 1t was year later
that his first book was published, Child
hood. In the army it was his great am
hilton to become decorated with the Cross
of st. George He did become divisional
commander. but although recommended for
the decoration itself did not secure 1t on
account of the illwill of superior officer.
The Soldierly ambition of those days he
afterward expressed with his usual candor
in the secret thoughts of one of his favorite
heroes, Prince Andrei VolkonslSi, in Peace
and War making him dream of becoming
q Russian Napoleon.
Although prominently known in the liter
airy world long before that time, it was not
until 1889 really that TolStoi's name came
to be known popularity throughout this
country. 1t was in that year that he pub
lshed The kreuzer Sonata" which called
down upon the author much comment.
especially from the religious people. The
talk created by the book widely traded
upon by publishers and newsdealers and
if was heralded as one of the wicked crea-
tons of the generation. Such sensational
ism was probably far from Tolstos mind,
however. He wrote the book in accordance
with his own feelings. He was ever guild
ed by himself and wrote of humanity from
the standpoint of his own position in the
world and his own varying ideas. His late
works, that have come more prominently

Columbia Theater.

Miss Bertha Galland and her company of
metropolitan players will open four
weeks engagement in classic plays at the
Columbia. Monday evening May H. THE
School for Scandal will be the Offering for
the first week This famous comedy has
not been presented in this city for some
seasons. and its revival by such an excel
lent company is attracting widespread in
terest. Very elaborate plans have been dis
cussed for next season when general re-
turn to the classic drama both in comedy
and tragedy will be the rule. The Galland
engagement is therefore quite in fashion,
and indeed ahead of it by a few months
The School for Scandal is a comedy
which seems to outWear the changes of
fashion and time. Richard Brinsley Sheri-
dan devoted months to the accumulation
of witty sayings and character drawing,
which made fashionable London society at
first hate then adore him for his daring
and cleVerneSs which held the mirror up
to nature in such a broad light that each
gentleman and lady who figured originally
in SheridanS creations could not fail to
recognize the picture. THE School for
Scandal although containing roles which
are made into star parts. is not really
star play. Each role is worthy of inter
preting, for each stands forth alone. In
this respect it is a happy departure from
the modern method of pllywriting, when
one part really comprises the play and all
the minor characters merely serve to en-
bellsh this role.
Miss Galland will be ably supported by
a company the rival of which is seldom
seen here except in al-star casts which
only remain for one or two performances

do az we'll as, or better than. any Of them.
1t is not the mere memory of facts that
constitutes an education. Realizing how,
easily facts slip away, the educational sys
tenn of the day Is designed to emphasize
the education Of power, an education that
fits students for emergencies, that ought
to have made the Winona boys get ready
for what was coming. In conclusion,
Professor Rankin makes a strong defense
Of the: university. He suggests that its
numbers are so rapidly growing because
the people wish to have their children go
there, not because it articulates with the
high school system.
There Is no doubt that there Is wide
spread impression that the high schools
are organized for the purpose OF prepar-
ing material for the university and with
little regard for the equipment of their
students in case they do not choose to
complete in the university the course be-
gun In the high school,. Professor Ran
kin denies that this is the case. He, is
familiar with all the facts, and it Is not
easy to oppose him on mere hearsay evil
dence. It would be interesting to have
those: who do. not agree with Professor
Rankin undertake to support themselves
by an argument from the high school
courses and the results Of the instruction
they give; .r~ - -. -" -.-. .

APPROPRIATIONS OF EMERSON

To the July Forum H. W. Horwill CON
tributes a paper on Recent Biography"
in which he suggests that as many Of the
appreciations OF Emerson which have APP
peared during the centenary celebration
are OF permanent value, a selection shoua6
be made Of them and with lfreshsbitfzs,
graphical matter, be published 7inssa eeTiteeF
nary memorial volume, under the edit oriaf
charge Of a disciple OF Emerson
This would seem to indicate that the
proposed memorial volume should contain
the eulogies on Emerson exclusively.
These have naturally been numerous, and
yet such memorial volume should contain
selection sof the best apprecia ton OF
Emerson which, while fully recognizing
his intellectual and social powers, yet deal
with him as a man, not altogether perfect,
while highly endowed. The tendency OF
many writer's on Emerson. is to- present
him as faultless In every respect and as
being the only man who. has taught US
how to live noble lives. Bliss Carn1alfl, for
instance, declares that, Emerson gone
there is no living voice to hearten and
inspire now as there was them" and 1--WE
! listen IN vain for the confident voice OF
Joyous revelation sounding thru the
world; there Is now no prospect In Isreak
and the. sPhilistines may triumph unre-
| buked.'', ~ - .
Such a statement is hardly worth pla-
cling IN memorial volume. It Is fiat bosh
and weak Misrepresentation. Neither
truth nor virtue died with Emerson, They
are now living more vigorously and sono-
rously and effectively than they lived in
Emerson's day Emerson, indeed, did not
speak the last word for truth and virtue
ever to be spoken. and then ring down the
curtain on all moral forces. Applaud his
genius and his preachments Of righteous
ness most heartily; but all thoughtful peo-
pie must admit that there are in the world
day many stronger moral forces in ac-
ton than that which Emerson stirred to
motion In his day, and with which he
had little to do even in the academic way.

long been desperately needed.

4the voters declared in favor OF bonding
the. city for these needed improvem ents,
and in response to a strong public de-
-nsnd the legislature authorized, the coun-
>oil,to issue them. For one reason or an
other the issuance of the bonds has been
delayed until now. The time has come
when there must not be further delay.
MINNEAPOLIS needs to brush up, clean
I'D. repair old pavements or replace them
with new ones and add new paving.
For years the street improvements Of
Minneapolis have Jagged behind the city's
growth In wealth and population. The
result is that there are many parts of
the city that are In an absolutely dis
graceful situation. -
. Now it Is proposed to do nothing this
year because large part Of the working
season has elapsed. There Is time enough
still for a vast amount Of effective work.
. Once the bonds are sold and the money
Is in the city treasury, the worl. can go
ahead with a rush. 1t lies with the
