BY MRS. COATES BEFORE CLUB
Like Cubs and Post ImpreSSionistic Art Is DeHghul to

In Miss Driscoll's paper. free verse
had been defended IL not for its own

interest and criticism Of modern poetry.
The present day is too physical.

food" said Miss Driscol. But man
is made of body and soul and it is only
the beast or the ghost that can live
without one or the other. Poetry is the
expression of what the soul thinks and
desires, it is the only possibility of an
articulate soul
''Ncrs libre is not new. A different
rhythm like an unusual musical sound
II not welcome at first and in the last
few years many people have written
verse that has tried to awaken unpeas-
ant emotions, tried to frighten us with
dlsagreenblc and unpleasant ideas. But
the unpleasant things that they have
produced have awakened interest.
Tone Less Pessimistic
Many American poems of the last
few years might have been written in
England except for one thing-the tone
is less pcssimistic.
Miss Driscoll referred to Longfcllow 5
introduction of the European Influences
INTO American verse and said that
although he was severely criticized at
the time of his teaching in Harvard. the
Influence was showing itself fayorably
in America.

the Philadelphia public schools in this
very practical department of instruc-
tion." wrote Thomas 4. Fernlcy. sec
retary treasurer of the association.
Data which we have gathered re-
garding hand and machine sewing pub
lie schools throughout the country
shows that Philadelphia public schools
are pre- eminently leaders in instruction
in sewing and home economics.
The elementary schools committee
approved the placing of more than 100
names Of women teachers on the eligible
list, when Doctor CARRIER explained
there was great shortage Of substitute
teachers. He also said all but three

Dlsapproves of Blue Laws

Wilkes Barre, Pa. Oct o. - The
strict Sunday laws of Puritanical origin
are not the ideal of the earnest Sabbath
school worker, according to DR.. George
f. Pentecost, of Philadelphia, one of the
speakers before the annual convention

belief to be that the Puritanical laws
have resulted detrimentally 70 orderly
Sunday observance. Asking too much
he said, they were impossible of enforce

let down the bars to the continental
Sabbath.

government for increased tonnage.

were equipped with the facility for

CLASSIC ATHENS
DID not SUFFER
ABSENCE OF TOURIST WAS ONLY
DAMAGE DURING WAR

+NllEtuS, DG(, T.--N Natl t'N llbIlNCllNN
of the Associated Press) Few large
cities of the country that were en-
gagged in the war have been less af-
fected by it than the ancient capital
menace of air raidsand hostile bonn
bardment, and participating actively
in the war for comparatively only a
short time, Athens is today in all es-
sential features exactly as it was in
pre-war days.
| There is scarcely any outward sign
that the country ever was in the great
world conflict. During the entire pro-
| gress of the war, all the stores, the
atres, cafes, museums and places of
amusement in the Greek metropolis
were doing business as usual and the
| inhabitants felt only remotely the
effects of the war Prices of food and
clothing were much higher than in
peace times but the people suffered
from no such scarcity of these and
other necessaries OF life as did the
populations of London, Paris and
ether continental cities
The touriest, who at one time was
one of the most abundant sources of
revenue, however, disappeared entirely
during the war
The passing years appear on the
whole to have made little change in
the Athenian capital If the visitor
who knew Athens we'll in days long
ago could pay another pilgrimage to
the historic city, he would see still
the same quaint sights that have al
ways made Athens appear to the for
eigner rustic and unsophisticated. in
the midst of all its cosmopolitanism
He would see number of mich
goats roaming down one of the main
streets, picking up orange peel and
paper bags in the gutter. while their
owner drew the sweet warm milk
from them to fill the bottles and pit
cheers of the busy Greek housewives
who emerged from their homes in
response to the tinkle of the goats
bells and hawking cry of the fustaneI-
la clad hersmen. He would see also
the countless little Greek gamins dir
ty and ragged, that are so much
part Of the life of the capital and
who shine shoes and sell lottery tic
kets.
Another familiar sight would be
the old women, thin tanned and bent
with years, with black handkerchiefs
tied under their chins, and carrying
on their backs dilapidated hampers
Of wild herbs and salad leaves, which
they dispose Of to the abstemious
Greek householders of the neighbor-
hood for about 25 lepta (5c) quart
Greek funeral professions. in which
the body of the deceased is carried
in an open hearse, fully exposed and
without coffin or covering, are fami-
liar sights.
Others cities change with times,
but Athens seems as immutable to-
day as it was in the centuries that
have gOn. There wars within ade-
cade have altered only slightly the
