ESQ el gran pensador frances
Jean D. Udine, nos dice de una
manera resuelta y Categorical
lque "el no querer producer y el
no poder producer son la misma
Ecosa."
La fecundidad es otra de las
grandes condolences que debe te-
|ner todo artista, porque, mo hay
que olvidarlo, la esterilidad, NOS
dice ell mismo sabio,-es ell vi
clio capital de un creador, como
Ia fecundidad es SUI primera vir-
tud. Fecundidad relativa, sin
duda, porque no es precise llenar
toda una librerfa, como hizo Ale
jandro Dumas, padre; pero de
todos modos, ell delicado cincela-
dor que penosamente realiza tan
ts6lo una docena de sonetos en-
toda su vida, o que durante VEIN
te aiios ha estado limando diez
piezas para piano, esta muy GER
ca de no ser mas que un impo-
ltente.
La manera de producer obras
de arte la podriamos dividir en-
dos clases: la primera, consisten-
te en- la production por poder de
la inspiration y de la imagina-
'ci6n creadora; la segunda, por
|combinaciones y ritmos registra-
dos anteriormente y combinados
por medic del estudio v las reglas
del arte a que pertenece la pro-
|duccion.
Los espfritus que pudieramos
|bautizar como ''revolucionarios
del Arte', afrmarian sin vaci-
lar un instante que '1a inspira-
ci6n no necesita la practica del
oficio'. Ellos nos aseguran que
donde hay inspiration no es ne
cesario que haya reglas nj es-
tudios. Podriamos, traer ejem-
plos en- favor de esta teorfa Y ci-
taremos uno de nombre muy CO.
nocido por los amantes de las
artes: Franz Schubert. Es cier-
to que ell maestro de la "Sinfo-
MIA sin Terminar" tuvo profeso-
res como Salieri, que lie enseila-
ron ciertos secretos del arte mu-
sical; pero la realidad es que
Schubert no tuvo perfectos CO.
nocimientos musicales. Sin en-
barge, su imagination creadora

piano.
Los temperamentos opuestos,
aquellos que conocemos como los
"Conservadores", establecen con
invariable rigor, que ante todo,
ell artista debe aprender la prac-
tica de su oficio. Ellos tienen en-
preferencia ell conocimiento, la
"ciencia del arte", a la inspira-
cion, que consideran como fac

THE PROBLEM OF THE OUTSIDE
COMPETITION
Wsnted-A New Job for Mamie

WanteU-A new JoD iof "a'"'
WHEN I brought Mamie back from
w Hartford she was still the hcry,
uncouth Mamie that we met that memo :
rable day on which Bruno Duke had
rescued her from her drunken father.
Il seems that on her ignominious re
turn from Hartford, Duke had got n
Job for her in n cloak and suit house.
She managed to stay there for three
weeks before they told her that her
room was more valuable than her serv-
ices.
Poor Mamie really felt sorry for
her. 1t seemed that she was supposed
TO give out jobs to the women and, as
the jobs were finished. to collect the
clothes and take them to the fore
woman.
For n day or so all went well-that
is. as well as things ever go where
Mamie is concerned. Some comments
were passed on her fiery red hair-com-
ments to which she objected in vivid.
lurid language that brought rcprimand
from the forewoman.
Then one or another of the women
asked Mamie to do this, get that, help
hold this skirt, and such like. Now she
is good hearted and willingly helped
where she could. The result, however.
was that some women were waiting for
work while Mamie was busy on some
special job to help out another worker.
The forewoman noticed the delays in
giving out the work and Mamie came
in for more reprimands.
Now Mamie had tried-tripd hard
tried mighty hard-to do her best. "If
oney ter show Mister Duke I'm not no
bum as she explained it. To be called
down, therefore, seemed to her an in
justice. Then. when some of the women
snickered. Mamie reverted to tyne"
and she said and did things that ended
in her dismissal.
'The concern is to blame wholly"
Duke said. "They hire people and then
give them no definite instructions and
complain if the employees do things
wrong.
''The average beginner in a business
learns by being told what not to do
Take the average Office boy. The first
day he fools around until some one snaps
at him and tells him he'd better not do

Later on he's cuffed and told not to go
into the warehouse; the result is that
after year, just as he becomes an cf-
ficicnt Office boy, he leaves.
IF business houses would give each
new worker printed or typewriter
list of duties that had to be done. the
new worker would be as efficient in q
week as they usually are in three
months.
'Most duties are too vaguely out
lined. If the functions of all jobs were
reduced to writing. much duplication
would be shown up in most concerns.
The very fact of reducing the work of
every person employed to writing would
show decidedly beneficial effect on the
management of the whole organization
and better results would naturally fol-
low.

on, "that he didn't believe in tying

through her tears. and Philip, unable
to resist any longer, gathered her into
his arms and begged to be forgiven.
