social organizations all over the our
try have derived proof Of what the
pageant can accomplish, speaks in a
similar vein.
"A national art" said he, sis the crys-
Utilization of the vital emotion OF a
people. A national art has practical
civic value of the highest character.
for It is the food of patriotism and
public spirit. In America national art
lacks the necessary focus, a focus at
once of subject. of opportunity and Of
public demand.
The Fourth's Significance.
1.-THE Fourth of July properly regard
ed and exalted by an appropriate and
significant celebration would become
such a clear focus and such a vitaliz-
ing center for American patriotism In
music and drama as is needed and
would thus contribute powerfully to
the upbuilding Of a virile American
life.
''The celebrations Of the past have
for the most part been lamentably in
adequate. But now as we Americans
return to a proper regard for our chief
national holiday and seek to evolve a
suitable celebration for the occasion
the significance of the holiday demands
that each community devise a celebra-
ton which shall sincerely and truthful
ly express what the great joyous patri-
otto idea Of liberty has meant and does
mean and may mean to each city or
town Oh village.
ut Is not a task that can be done by
one man or by any one group Of men;
neither can it be done in one year. The
whole American people must put their
thought and heart into the work year
after year. Then finally there will
surely grow from all the thinking and
writing and inspiration Of the people
a great folk celebration which will be
truly IN adequate expression of the
loyalty OF the American people to the
principle of freedom that Is inherent In
the Fourth Of July.
In the celebrations of the last few
years there appears a trend in the di-
rection of a kind Of celebration which
bids fair to prove satisfactory and In
spring. Three simple characteristics
are found in most of them which in
stantly commend themselves as essen
tial to the adequate celebrations: a. The
historic element must be strongly pres.
ent, holding in mind clearly the life OF
the nation as a whole from the begin
ming. (2 The idea Of liberty must be
expressed In human terms. 1t must be
dramatic. 80 The celebrating present
is quite as important an element as the
celebrated past. The celebration must
not be only historic; 1t must apply the
inspiration of the Declaration of indie
pendence to the present life Of the To-
cality. (
Essential Ideas For a Celebration.
these characteristics indicate that
search is akin to the pageant, that new
kind of drama which presents the his
tory of a community focused upon the
present character and the present prob
lens of the community. There will
clearly be much in the desired celebra-
ton that is similar to the proper type
of the pageant.
but also there are essential differ
ences to be noted. Chief of these Is
the fact that the spirit Of the occasion
of such a celebration is essentially Tyr
zeal rather than dramatic. In SO far
as the dramatic is present 1t Is present

inent people there. There were two chill
dren, boy and girl. The girl was
unusually bright in her school work and
her parents were very fond Of her.
The boy, on the other hand was dis
tressingly dull and stupid in his
classes.
''The parents tried brides, threats,
special assistance, and everything they
could think Of on the boy, but With no
| apparent effect. Month after month,
and year after year, reports were so
bad that the parents finally concluded
that they had half witted son. They
hung their heads in shame and gave up
the struggle.
when the boy suggested that he
would like to go to work in a shop, the
father and mother acquiesced without
show of resistance. [ don't know how
it came about but shortly after he went
to work in the shop [ noticed that he
was wearing glasses and such glasses.
You know the kind [ mean-big, thick
lenses, the kind that are in the magni-
flying glasses used by students of bugs
and insects.
almost from the start, the boy took
hold of his job. Gradually, he was ad
vanced to higher and higher positions
until finally he started in business for
himself.
To-day he is back in the home town
at the head of his own big manufacture
ing plant. He has made very much
more of a business success than his
father did before him. Of course the
parents are proud of him. Their
shame, now, is in recalling their own
stupidity when they considered the boy
half witted.
"Of course I realize that some may
argue that the blunder was a good
thing in this case. Possibly it was. 1t
seems to me, however, that it is likely
that he could have been even more sue
cessful, or at least happier, if he had
had a first class engineering education
to back his natural mechanical ability.
However that may be, it was a lucky
circumstance with no credit to. the par
ents and teachers that this boy found
himself.

the failure OF young Miller to put in an

PASSOVER OBSERVED
WITH JOY AND FEASTHNG
Jewish Religious Celebration
Here Marked by Happy Fam
lily Gatherings.

When the Hebrews of Russia were hold
ing services last night behind bolted
doors, praying in whispers that God
might spare them from the blood accusa-
tion and murder at the hands of the anti
Semites, Jews In Philadelphia celebrated
the advent of Passover seated about ta-
bes ornamented with American flags.
To the millions in the ghettoes of st.
Petersburg, Moscow and Kiev, Passover
meant the possibility of slaughter and
torture. Here there was freedom of wor-
ship, and that the younger generation
might be reminded of the advantages
that they enjoyed, no Philadelphia Jew
ish household was without its flag.
To stir the hearts Of the Russian mobs
with greater hatred against the Jews, the
Russians for centuries are said to have
circulated the story that on each Passover
eve Christian children are slaughtered hy
the Hebrews, and that their blood is used
in the making of matzoth The retellng
of the story each year Is always held to
be responsible for bloodshed. and instead
Of a festival of joy the Passover is an
occasion of sorrow to millions of Rus
