SHOW PAST IN ITS TRUTH
Buildings Which Have Survived Are
the Most Valuable Historical Rec
ords the World Has.

1t has been said that history was the
written order of things. No doubt
what had been written was Of enor-
nous value. but 1t was not all, and even
where we had literature of the past
1t was in some cases not the greater
! part of what conveyed the past to US.
said Prof. Flinders Petrie, in London,
the Philadelphia Public Ledger states
Where should we be in the under.
standing of the ancient Greeks II there
were no statuary and no sculpture?
How could we understand their mag
nificent sense of accuracy, precision
and refinement If there were no archi-
lecture to study? Many years ago,
with regard to the great question OF
the restoration of the Parthenon, the
objection was made that no person
could ever get to know precisely how
the columns we're put together.
Professor Petrie thought 1t was only
question of measurements, and he
bought lathe in Athens and did some
careful measurements. To his intense
surprise he found he could not detect
the errors. There were none. He
thought he was going to deal with
tenths of an inch. but he found he had
to deal with hundredths. How the
Greeks did it. he did not understand.
He could not comprehend the physical
means of doing 1t on that scale. That
was only an instance of how much a
building could teach them. Who could
appreciate the accuracy, the sense OF
perfection and the sense of beauty. II
we had not these material remains?
Then. If they looked a little later.
let them consider how miserable was
the greater part of the histories of the
emperors. What did they understand
of Rome? They understood the Coli
scum = the majesty of it and the
cruelty Of it-they could understand
the magnificent temples, the great
architecture, and they could see from
that what Rome was far better than
by reading all the imperial historians
And If they looked little later what
was there in the whole writings of the
thirteenth century which gave them
such perfect picture of the medieval
mind as Salisbury cathedral?
He ventured to give these as illus
trations of the value of the material
civilization side by side with the civil
lization of the people. because he
thought they would enable them to
grasp perhaps more clearly how much
they could ascertain and feel and know
about the civilization of which they
hac material rem: ms. They enabled
them to understand the feelings. sentl-
ments and ideals of those bygone men
from their literature. The question OF
material evidence might seem a dead
and dull thing, but he ventured to
think they were as much key to the
mental designs and powers as any
other form of expression.

| He clamored for the adoption o
the. "Kindel parcels post graduate,

On a 1O0-pound package moving
from Baltimore to San Francisco the

the railroads get 1928 and tie ex

Under the existing law the post Of
flee department would be compelled
to pay the railroads $15 for carrying
that same package.
If the department adopted tie sill
1y "Kindel graduate" and met tie ex
press companies rates, it would lose
at least $3.50 on the shipment.
OF course, the adoption of such
rates would inevitably produce a de-
ficit in postal receipts and a deficit
would effectually discredit the en-
tire parcels post system.

Kindel has also championed the
senate amendment which would de-

amendment, last January, said: IF

Organizations Arrange for
"Nutley Progress" Celebration

Representatives from organizations
attended the meeting last night in st.
Paul's Congregational Church, Nut

mote "Nutley's progress celebration.
The organizations represented were
Nutley Board of Trade, Stars and
Stripes Council. Daughters of Lib
erty; First Battery, Vincent NJ. r.
Church, st. Paul's Congregational
Church, Knights of Honor, Nutley Jr.
Q. U. A. NJ. and Mems Club of st.
Paups Church.
The report of the plan and scope
committee was presented by A. A.
Hebert, of the Board of Trade. Mr..
Hebert said the celebration would be
a general "get-together day" to arouse
interest in the town. The occasion
Will be made to coincide with the
dedication of the new Essex County
Park, the opening of the new Free
Public Library, the remodeling of
West Nutley station and the building
of a new school.
The committee suggested that the
celebration be held along the lines of
a carnival with parade, king and
queen floats representing historical
events in the growth of Nutley and
other features common to carnival.
1t was agreed that a great interest
could be raised by having a popular
voting contest to choose the king and
queen and by charging probably a
cent for each vote financial aid could
be obtained.
AS most of the delegates were APP
pointed without power to act, they
could not bind their organizations to
anything definite, so it was decided
that the plan and scope committee
draftAa letter containing a condemned
account of what has been done and
what is planned. This is to be sent
to the different organizations with
the request that if it meets with their
approval they appoint permanent
committee with power to act.
