the Greek mode of life was marked
by a dignified and elegant simplicity
An Athenian might be poor, but If
he had general ability. wit or artistic
skill, he was welcome in the best
houses in Athens.
I'm this splendid period, music was
necessary part OF education and
recreation. Ignorance of the art OF
playing some stringed instrument or
using the voice in song was held to
be a disgrace.
"A long cherished hope of mine Is
that our people form musical clubs
and engage competent teachers, thus
preparing for singing or playing on
stringed instruments for social life.
II hope 10 live to hear the people
singing through the streets Of San

In this, the school children are al

.'Often, when I speak of the ideals
and systematic plans of the Greeks In
their best days, / am reminded of
their failure, reminded Of Rome. its
fall and the dark ages which fol-
lowed It is easy to account for it all.
Il think that all earnest students
of history recognize that the great
defect of Greek civilization was the
inferior estimation and trea tment
given to women. There were few
Greeks who considered that women
possessed any mental power, and Aris-
totle, looked to as a great philosopher,
discussed the question assto whether
woman could have any virtue, such
as courage, justice and faithfulness.
The Greeks by this neglect were
left destitute of the ennobling in
