That advertisement appeared the

Gates the variety Of things. required
of the vaudeville performer. The
cheaper the circuit on which the
performer plays and the smaller his
salary the more things he has to be
able to DO.
In the first-class vaudeville. thea
tiers, the actor. usually does only, his
single turn or his variety Of turns.
The musical performer usually has
to know how to dance q. little and do
q monologue In addition to sing
ing and playing on a musical instru-
trent, but he rarely has to go in
for juggling or lion tanning In
addition II he is playing on, a circuit
where high salaries are paid. The
circuit engaging high sa1aried men
and women can afford to hire spe-

one-night stand shows have to en-
gage men who can double up in
their performances,
The girl who tames the tigress
also appears in q clown act at the
one night show or perhaps she
plays a flute for the snake charmer
and then does dervish dance. The
acrobatic performer also learns
several other turns and sometimes
may be proficient cornetist.
Actors playing on the kerosene.
circuit are rarely content with sdo-
ing only one or two turns. They
learn tricks from other per-
formers and to go through with
them as we'll as they can. When
the season is dull they are better
able to keep employed by KNOWING

CiHiliuation Aft.r ths war.

Edward Davies schoonmaker, writing OF
'The Moral Failure OF Efficiency" sounds new
note in criticism or our civilization. He depicts
our social scheme az train OF two cars. pushed
by an engine, and rushing to destruction. The
first car is militarism, the second industriaism,
and the engine is our educational system. II Is
his argument that militarism IL the outgrowth
OF industrialism, and that industrialism flows
from our system OF education, and that the
wreck OF one will surely entail the destruction
OF the others. Following this line. he finds that
efficiency" has failed because It is, paradox
caliy, inefficient, hacking in the moral element
that makes for the fuller development Of mans
faculties and provides for his spiritual along
with his material growth.
II is interesting. too, that Mr.. schoonmaker
does not conflne his accusation to any one race
or nation. II has been quite fashionable of late
to lay all the blame flowing from efficiency
on Germany. because the Germans have proved
themselves such capable exponents of the dogma
OF organization and preparation. Americans are
included with the other enlightened nations OF
the world in the Indictment and must take their
full share of responsibility. and pay in proper
ton as they have neglected the ethical to expand
the practical in the possibilities of the race. Our
educational practice leads to industrialism. and
this to militarism, whether we admit It or not
according TO the sylloglsm presented.
But Mr.. schoonmaker sees a worthier civil
lization arising; not socialistic state. nor al
Utopia, but q condition In which the individual
will have every opportunity for developing to IN,
fullest. encouraged and assisted in bringing I,
fullest fruition his better and more desirable
qualities. and in which efficiency" will not b.
ganged by mere capacity for production OF ma
terial things. Industrlalism win no longer lea
to mihtarism. for It win be a means and not a
end in the better social life that is to come.
