true of the collection from New Zeal

RELICS OF SAvAGES

Arts Are Of New Zealarder-Canoss

Once Used by Cannibal An
cestors of Civilized People.

Philadelphia, Pa.-The University
of Pennsylvania museum is making a
special effort to secure as many col
lections and as much data from the
islands of the South Pacific as is pos
sible. and Director Gordon is sparing
neither time nor money in securing
additions TO the present South Sea eX-
hibit. The reason for this is that
antiques and relics of the aborigines
of that part of the world are extreme
ly rare and can be obtained only at
the greatest difficulty and expense.
When the South Sea islands were
first discovered by Capt. Cook the ma
tives had a well developed artistic
sense and made many beautiful
things. but with the colonization of
the islands by Europeans and the
coming of western customs native arts
at once became extinct. Fortunately.
the early travellers brought to Europe
numerous collections which have. for
the most part, remained in private
hands to the present day. Now. how
ever. they are gradually finding their
way to continental auction rooms.
where they are publicly sold.
The university museum is keeping
sharp lookout for such sales and has

lections are sold. He has special in
structions to watch for the sale of
South Pacific collections and BUY
them for the University of Pennsyl-
vania. the cost not being considered.
In the last few months he has Sc
cured some very valuable material

museums agent in London last June.

Chicago mter-Ocean: That profound

preached q sermon last Sunday at the
ancient cathedral In Baltimore con-
corning the election. 1t was. Of
course. nonpartisan, and it's sound ao-
vice and far-seeing common sense
made it worthy Of careful reading by
every American citizen.
Every word Of the sermon may be
read with profit. It was calm, sane.
patriotic. And there are some phrases
which stand out like letters of fire,
and are well worth repetition. He
said:
1t is my profound conviction that il
ever the republic is doomed to decay,
if the future historian shall ever re-
cord the decline and fall OF the Amer
lean republic, its downfall will be
due, not to hostile invasion, but to
the indifference. lethargy and politi-
eal apostasy of her own sons. And II
all citizens are bound to take an in

pecially deyolves upon those who are
endowed with superior intelligence
and education and who ought to be
the leaders and exemplars of the peo-
pie. guiding them in the path of poltt-
ical recitude

neglects his duty as a citizen should
