A Protest Against Fear.

1t seems to me that fear has got hold
of all this land. Each one has a great
fear Of himself. fear to believe, to
think. 10 do. to be, to act.
Who dares to do anything without fear
of what some other will think or say :!
How can Il country have Il living, grow
ing art when it is so bound down by
fear, the most dreadful of all evils?
This marvellous, great country, big in
all its feeling and full of energy, and YET
producing almost no freedom of thought
or work.
You, younger students. who are enter
ing this garden of toll, where flowers
are grown by love and patience, why do
you not try to be true to your better
selves, who do you not try to see the
finer bigger things that are all about
yen, and to kill in your garden those
mawkish weeds of sugar-sweet sentimen-
tality and shallow feeling Try to feel
truly one thought, one scene. and make
others feel it as keenly as You do-thus
is art born.-Pamela Colman Smith IN
The Craftsman.
