= strained righteousness. How long
would people care to stay in such a
community? The decalogue is not
yet out of date.
NO self respecting person can wit
ness the immoral play and enjoy the
art Of the piece and not allow any
moral consciousness to mar his en-
joyment. If a dramatist writes an
immoral play, he has immoral thoughts
and by word and act suggests these
to his audience. That is the great
harm, this suggestiveness. OF greater
harm than the indecent acts is the sug-
gesuveness of the play. People enjoy
suggestive acts and statements on the
stage which they would not tolerate in
their own society. They would blush
for shame.
How shall the public protect itself
against the contamination of the play,
which exceeds the bounds of decency
A government board of censorship
would hardly be effective. If play is
too fagrantly indecent the local au-
thOrities will close the theatre. Per
haps the best remedy is a good healthy
public sentiment. To my mind, the on
" thing that will effectively kill sug-
gestive plays is starvation in the box

Morality in the Drama

In lecture before the class of dra-
matte art at Augustana. Thursday aft
ernOon, DR.. Z. +. Bartholomew, pro
fessor of English language and litera-
ture, deplored the righteousness and
suggestiveness of the present day
drama and argued that morality has
place in the drama, and that it was
not simply a case of art for arts sake
but art for life's sake and art for
truths sake. He stated that more
harm comes from the suggestive play
than from the indecent play and that
the only solution Of the problem was
the expression of a good healthy public
sentiment against such dramas, a gov
eminent censorship being too made
quate. He said in part:
Has the issue of morality any place
in the drama? Some argue that since
we set out to examine the drama as a
work of art, the question of morality is
beside the point That is wrong.
There is an eternal relation
between morality and art, and
licentous art does violence to the dig
nitv of it's principal subject-man.
The drama cannot escape the i'm
pulse of moral issues unless we are
prepared to admit that man and wom-
an may divest themselves Of moral re-
sponsibility and live a life Of unre-

Besides the known victims many
other students were taken to their

Bischner's case was regarded as the
only one that might prove serious.
The conflict was won by the sophie
more class although Outnumbered by
the "freshies.' The push ball con-
test supplanted the color rush of
other years, being considered less
DANGEROUS. Three thousand people
stood in the rain to witness the 1000
students battle. Two physicians were
kept busy in the gymnasium looking
after the injured. The contest is eX-
pected to terminate the haZing of the
