but me no buts," he replied to
the reluctant owner. Goethe

him or we shall not keep him."
The thousands of letters the
adoring Goethe wrote to Charlotte
Won Stein all are kept in the build
ing that houses the Goethe and
Schiller archives. For ten years
be paid devoted court to her, but
she was the wife of another man
and. although she valued the hon.
age of this man, who was one of
the handsomest and most distin-
guished in Europe, it is generally
believed that she did not in any
way return his affections.
Schiller's old home has been
bought by the town and converted
into a museum. His rooms are
almost as be left them, the floors
bare. the ceiling low and the furni-
ture scanty, plain and almost
primitive. Of this place Carlyle
has written:
Who can picture Schiller's
feelings in this solitude without
participating in some faint refec
tion of their grandeur! The toll
worn but devoted soul, alone, Of
fering up the troubled moments of
existence upon the altar of eter-
nifty! For here the splendor that
cleaned across the spirit of NOR
tai, transient as any of US, was to
be made perpetual; these images
and thoughts were to pass into
other ages; to glow in human
hearts when the heart that con-
ceived them had long been mold
cred into common dust. To the
lover of genius this bare little
room has become a sacred shrine"

Not Matter of knowledge

Some people think that ignor-
ance is merely an accumulation of
facts. But that hypothesis reveals
lack of imagination. Ignorance,
any more than knowledge, is not
concerned with facts. 1t is con-
cerned quite largely with feeling,
and feeling is the product of ones
general intelligence.
The Huns had plenty of facts at
their disposal, but they were ig-
norant. Their feeling was not in
telligently distributed over certain
areas of their natural conscious
ness.
This is true, more or less, of all
of US, Thomas L. Mason writes in
the Outlook. When we are truly
ignorant. it is a case of arrested de-
velopment in certain directions. A
man who has not brought up a
family may have at his call all the
statistics about families. But he is
truly ignorant in the sense of not
being developed in the feelings
that intimate contact with ones
family produces.
To have knowledge of a particu-
lar thing is simply to have come in
contact with it in such a manner
that ones feelings has been
aroused about it.
We acquire knowledge largely
by contemplation and meditation.
But the thing we are learning
about must impose itself on us in
such a way that we are forced to
understand it through our feelings
and not our minds.
There is nothing harder to over
come than ignorance. 1t must be
beaten to standstill. We have
done this to the Huns. We must
now conclude our moral contract by
bringing them into contact with
the right things.

which day schools have, even in
the best urban school systems, in
improving the manners of children
who come from rude, coarse en-
vironments and spend in school
only a quarter of their time even
during school terms, and no time
at all during more than one quar-
ter of the year.
School instructions in manners
necessarily mixes manners with
morals and ethics, and this combi-
nation of teaching rules and moral
reasons for rules, at the same time
is in practice the inevitable way.
We cannot teach or illustrate gen.
tleness or serenity in manners and
speech without inculcating the
duty of kindness. The teaching of
good manners in school, whether
from manuals or by example and
oral exhortation, whether sys-
tematically in assigned periods or
incidentally at the discretion of the
teacher, involves giving ethical in
struction on the authority of the
teacher. They can utilize emula-
tion and competition as indictments
not only to individual improve
ment but to social progress.
There can be no doubt that the
great majority of American public
schools are actively contributing
today to the diffusion and develop
ment of good manners among the
people, and hence to the improve
ment of social conduct. Whoever
learns to observe and respect,
through manners firmly based on
ethics, the lesser rights of others
Is likely to acquire increased re-
pect for the larger rights of the
neighbor and the citizen.
Since the safe conduct of demo
cratic society on its bold voyage of
philanthropic discovery depends
on an unprecedented development
of mutual good will, manifest
kindness, and hearty cooperation.
the function of the common schools
in teaching manners and morals is
plainly one of the most important
parts of public education, and the
main reliance Of democratic
optimism.

beautiful poem his mother his letter saying that sit
more you for than all the letters | write
Its the faith of mother like you
That counts when the world goes wrong,
When fellows down and mighty blue
And his lips can voice no song,
When the loneliness seems hard to bear
And the scheme of life proves tame,
It's knowing, somehow, that still you care
That makes fellow game.
when he wants to quit in the first long mile,
Turn back in the grilling race,
When the goal beyond doesn't seem worth while
And he balks at the speedy pace;
It's then that the faith of mother like you
Makes him reckon the towards cost
And he plays to win, as man should do,
The game he might have lost.
It's a mother like you that makes men great
And not what they might have been.
0, it's good to the man. when all seems night,
When the clouds hide the goal from view,
Just to knuckle down and fight. yes fight,
For the sake of mother like you"

NHMEEHST which is the capital of
HSAky4HEH the duchy of SAKE Wei
gQ2Nsgy mar and which was Sc
lected as the meeting place for the
Germany national assembly. has
long been denominated the "Ath-
ems of Germany" 1t stands for
what was the best in German life.
For Weimar was once a great capi-
tai in the world of letters; around
it cluster many of the finest recol-
lections and traditions of the Ger
many that was.
Goethe and Schiller, topmost
among the German poets, lived
and died there. Some of the finest
compositions of Liszt and Mendel-
ssohn were conceived in Weimar.
In this quaint old town Schopen-
hauer dwelt in the unutterable
gloom that permeates his philoso-
ply. To its restful solitude and
its greatest memories came Metz
sche, apostle of dreadfulness, to
die. And it drew George Eliot,
Thackeray, Bayard Taylor and
many other notables of other lands
who sought inspiration in this spot
which had lure6 the immortals of
an earlier day, remarks the Kansas
City Star.
Weimar it was which produced
two of the best remembered of
German women, the Grand Ouch
ess Anna Amalie, whose efforts
gave Germany its first real stand
ing in arts and letters, and Char
lotte Won Stein, the gifted, brilliant
woman whom Goethe loved long
and in vain. All Germany laid
homage at the feet of Duchess
Anna Amalie. And of Charlotte
Won Stein it has been said that no
other woman, not even Dante's
Beatrice or Petrarch's Laura, has
been so honored in song.
All the glory of Weimar belongs
to the time before the Prussian
arch-militarist and materalist. With
the ascendancy of the Hohenzol-
lerns and the elevation of force
and greed above the things of the
mind and spirit Weimar faded in
to a background memory. Its Sc
lection by the new government as
a seat for deliberation may serve
to bring back to it some of its de-
parted glory.
The beginning of Weimar's
greatness came about 1856, when
Anna Amalie, niece of Frederick
the Great, went there as a bride of
the duke. She summond Weiland,
poet and student, to act as tutor
for her boys. Three years later
young Goethe went to Weimar.
Others followed. Einsiedel, poet,
musician and actor; Bode. the
translator of Smollet and Cervan-
tes; Knebel, the classicist; Corona
Schroter, the brilliant and beauti-
full actress and singer; Herder, the
preacher. poet and father of Ger
man folk song, and finally Schiller,
who eventually was to take rank
with Goethe.
The names of Goethe and Schil-
ler dominate Weimar. The for
mer lived in the town fifty-six
years. He was all things to Wei
mar, the adviser of its rulers,
architect of it's chief structures,
dictator of its thought, and finally
it's greatest and best loved memory.
His house on the Goethe Plata is
one of the towns sights" and
monuments of him occupy the
most prominent positions. Even
his garden house has been pre-
served in reyerent memory.
An indication of the way in which
Goethe was regarded in old Wei
mar is cleaned from an oft told in
cident. The poet coveted the house

it will be we'll to consider what the
foundation of good manners are,
and what part manners play in the
social education of mankind and in
the individuals happiness and sue
cess.
Manners effect for good or i'll
the daily happiness of every hu-
man being and the fortune and des-
tiny of every nation. Their in
fuence on human existence is pro-
found and incessant. Good man
ners are founded on reason or COM
mon sense and good will. They
put people at ease in social inter-
course, welcome graciously the
stranger and the friend, dismiss
pleasantly the lingering visitor
who does not know how to with
draw, express alert sympathy with
others, and prompt to helpful CO.
operation with others. They en-
able people to dwell together in
peace and concord; whereas bad
manners cause friction, strife and
discord.
Inasmuch as good manners
smooth the rough places and make
things pleasant in human inter-
course. some candid and CON-
bative persons who see many prop
er occasions for righteous indigna-
ton, hot strife and unyielding per-
tinacity, are inclined to think that
good manners may easily slip into
insincerity, dissimulation and a
habit of easy compromising. They.
imagined that well-mannered peo-
pie express in their habitual greet
ings warmer affections than they
really feel, conceal their aversions
or condemnations, moderate their
heats in argument, make little use
of superlatives, and in general re-
press passion in both speech and
action. Hence, they suspect that
good manners are a drag on moral
earnestness, or at least inconsistent
with a prophets or a reformer, S
zeal. Such an apprehension may
naturally be felt about manners
which are merely superficial
polish, with no groundwork in
genuine good will and sympathy,
or an habitual conformity to con-
ventional rules of behavior; but,
nevertheless, long experience
among civilized men has proved
that good manners are compatible
with holding strong convictions
and expressing them firmly on fit
occasion.
1t is obvious that good manners
involve not only habitual good will
and kindness, but also no little per-
sonal skill. They are, indeed, a
fine art" for their means of ex-
preston are generally mere tones,
infections. quick glances, momen-
tary gestures or postures, or other
slight gradations of sound or move
ment; and they need at their best
a quick imagination and ready
wit.
In agreeable intercourse neither
party will be on the one hand
rough and forth. putting, or on the
other hand bashful and constrained.
A rough indifference is not much
more disagreeable in social inter
course than an embarrassed sheep
ishness. A bashful person is al
ways annoying in company, and a
superior one who is not serene and
confident in the presence of sub.
ordinates is as uncomfortable for
them as he is for himself. Any
exhibition of want of respect or OF
consideration for others is destruc.
tive of pleasant intercourse, and
this lack of respect need not go SO
far as contempt or insolence in or
der to cause uneasiness and aver
