EDUCATION MADE IN AMERICA

One curious result Of the war according to many thorities a great attendance at American colleges especially for postgraduate work and the arts is because there is no access to German insttu uons this year. and much incentive choose those of England In Education in other things we thrown back upon our own resources
 It likely that after gasp dsappoint ment having the European avenues of culture closed and the questioning second breath "Can pos sibly do wen?" may settle down to realize that here, too has brought a blessing.
 There was a time when perhaps it would have been calamity have been shut of in this way from the oldworld learning But that time has passed There many men and women here who have gleaned the best of the foreign culture, ready and able mpar their knowledge libraries are now so good and SO comprehensive our educational facilities Of all we'll built up that we might conceyably shut og for five ten years without suffering any apprecable lack
 music and the other arts there will be a decided benefit in keeping young people at home It is just as true with art as it with clothes that while Amer persist in giving the of their stimulus pean teachers, America will lag once transfer that stimulus, of those dollars and above al that steady faith their ability finished and beautiful work to American teachers, and the results will be prsing.
 It is noteworthy fact that many good music teach starved in America borrowed money for passage to Berlin there made his fortune teaching the same pupils who scorned him when his studio was in Michigan Avenue or over Carnegie Hall. Alberto Jonas is example who has-in Europe-"made" so many concert pianists, Pepto Arriola among them.
 The musical atmosphere" of Berlin or Paris? But there is musical atmosphere wherever dozen serious uucf rt student sections of New York and Chicago Cleveland has been made muscay in the last ten years by of determined earnest souls Musicians used to laugh at it. Now sixth city population is fourth in musical appreciation working toward an assured mus ieal future. have been Denver and have heard the Denver people talk about their music and if had son daughter to be educated musicaly think should choose him to Denver as soon as should think of Berlin.
 For if ever have national art or a nation. al music it must sprng rom earth The mater ias, the mechanical facility We have now acquired from the older nations But the soul the thing underneath which makes real eternal that must come out of the soul of our own.
 Little by little realize we are not merely money grubbers We have warked for our money and we have not been ashamed of honest toll Through all our labor we have kept our dealism It is the great charac. teristc of Americans All buH and brag are but our effort to hold onto the picture of what want to be ant to become.
 German culture has not ayaled to save Germany from he curse of the imperial idea. Surely in the crudes of our little onehorse" colleges keep the savor of the democratic ideal And it would profit us little if we were to absorb all the knowledge the world has to give and with it lose the spirit of America
