A SCANDINAVIAN NOVELTY.
ne osnish Open AIR Theater In the
Royal Deer Park.

among the most interesting expert
ehces OF travellers in Scandinavia this
summer has been the open air theater-
gong. For the splendid weather has
induced numerous dramatic enter
prlses in scenes Of quite unusual
beauty. such has been their success
that the forest theater is likely to be-
come summer institution in North
ern Europe.
probably the finest natural theater
In the world Is IN Denmark. in the
royal deer park, about six miles out of
the capital There the avenues of
mighty trees serve as wings and back
ground to stage fronted by a beech
ehcircled slope that forms a perfect
auditorium. Eight thousand people
can be accommodated at every per-
iornanee and the scene. when the
space Is filed with gayly dressed pa
irons Of the drama. far SURPRISES that
Of gaia performance in more pre-
tehtious but artificial surroundings.
For such scenery q careful selection
OF plays Is needed. but when that has
been done the materials are there for
Infinitely greater realism than is pos
sible in 8 brick ana mortar plavhouse
For instance, there is space, shade and
distance in which to operate adyanc-
ing and receding players. while the
effect Of the singing Is convincing be-
cause 1t has no reliance on behind tho
scenes tricks.
With no performance marred By the
weather, the Copenhagen open air

II there be question as To the legal

widespread corruption and bribery,
if the will of the people has not
been expressed fairly and squarely

Senator Gardner Denies Interview.

Editor kennebec Journal:
Since my return to Washington
yesterday my attention has been
called to an alleged interview with
me published In the Ohio State
Journal, and copied in number of
Maine newspapers, concerning the
vote in Maine on constitutional
prohibition in September last. This
alleged Interview and the state
ments therein contained are so RI
diculous and absurd that they
would seem to hardly call for de-
NAL Yet, / realize the fact that
they have been extensively quoted
in reputable Maine papers. and for
that reason in the absence of de-
NAL might be believed. / desire to
say that I had no such interview
with the Ohio State Journal or any
other newspaper / gave express
sion to no such sentiment or state
ment as appeared in this alleged
interview, nor do | now, nor have
ever, entertained any such senti-
ment. | want to say specifically
that this alleged interview is false
IN every detail and particular. l
trust you will give this statement
the same publicity as the original
publication, as a matter of mere
justice and courtesy.
Yours very truly.

viii They Attack School Law2

| To swap the interests of the school
| children of Maine for a few more dol
| lars to private interests, seems to be
the inspiration Of a movement for a
| uniform school law" The promoters
frankly admit their purpose to post
pone the converting of the schools UNI
Ill the last of September in order to
lengthen out the summer season and
thus increase the profits of hotel and
resort keepers. In their petitions for
money and sympathy the promoters
saw; 1T would mean thousands of
dollars for New England, especially
that section which comes under the
head of summer resort.
There lies the whole secret-'doilars'
dollars. Give us dollars and the devil
take the rest"
September has ever been termed the
best school month in the year II we cut
two weeks of study from that month
would these summer resort inter-
ests nuf il on the other end of the
year and run the term down into july
Me- Then are our school advan-
tages excessive?
Leading educators are inclined 10
treat the whole matter as joke, but
we are disposed to consider the move
ment seriously. We fear that Legis-
pNnptntG tn |
pass rum legislation over the verdict
of the people, may be expected to pass
any sort of fool legislation that has
the ring of dollars in it for certain in
terests
We have published an interview
with State Superintendent Smith en-
bodying an expression from the Jour
nal of Education. Following we give
an editorial paragraph from the School
Board Journal of Wisconsin,;
I'm sharp opposition to the ideas eX-
pressed by many scheelmen on the
of long summer Vaca-
tions, comes the formation OF an as
ISOLATION of Maine summer resort |
keepers and merchants, who would
forbid the, reopening of the schools
each year until late in September. The |
new organization styles itself the New
England Uniform School Law Asso-
citation, and has for its avowed object |
the revision of the school laws to suit
the business of its members. 1t |
might be interesting to learn in what
way the interests of the schools and of
the pupils are 10 be conserved.
Nowhere, in the literature sent out
by this propaganda. are educational
interests mentioned; it is made up of
such as the following sentence; "All
we want, however, is that you bring
this matter to the attention of the
grocer. butcher and other businessmen,
whose income is regulated by the
hotel business
All the years of toll and expense IN
developing and perfecting Names
school system it is proposed TO flop
over by money inspired impulse of
the Legislature. 1T means money to
some lines of business; never mind the
children," that is the tenor of the liter
ature to be circulated in every town of
Maine.
The attempt is to be made at the
proposed local option session of the
Legislature to be called by Governor
Plaisted in February.
If this Legislature, in special session.
passes license law over the voice of
the majority of Maine voters. is it not
as likely to overturn the school laws?
Better give this matter consideration
and an expression of your views, had
you not?

Grated at full capacity. through the

that 1t will be operated to its full ca
