OF OUR ART INTEREST

pENDING definite disposition of the
4 John G. johnson pictures, the plan
Of exhibiting portions of the collection
In Memorial Hall has much to commend
It,. 1t is well known that protracted
storage exerts a deleterious effect on old
masters. Under the new temporary
arrangement the entire 1900 paintings
viii eventually enjoy the benefits of pub
lie display and considerate guardianship
In the Park museum.
A test of popular interest in these art
works Is also available. Some index of
the appeal of these precious art works
TO Philadelphians can certainly be re-
vealed by the attendance records at
Memorial Hall. Public interest in this
first opportunity to view the paintings
should, If sufficiently keen, aid in cx-
pediting settlement of vexed question.
1t is unquestionably incumbent upon the
Mayor, the courts and the Art Jury to
cooperate as speedily as possible in
arranging for permanent home for
such treasures, for the educational value
Of this remarkable civic bequest, so brill
liantly reflective of the development Of
art, is profound.

was criticized because no arrangement

il was admitted then that the use OF

But in the United States alone the
question Of the use of force is that on
which the friends and opponents OF the
covenant have divided. II has been
made a partisan political question, and
for the exigencies Of presidential cam
paign the President is pinning his faith
to form of words which, as n matter
OF fact, has not and never will have
any more binding force than the public
sentiment of the world chooses to give
to IT. 1t is an unfortunate mudde and
one which is discouraging to those who
have hoped that full grown men were

MARCHING ON!

MO ONE would accuse the Board Of
IN Education of radical or revolution
ary habits of thought. The board never
fiirts with any theory that hasn't had
time to age. It's adherence of novelty
is traditional. Yet in the series of
Recommendations formulated to increase
the pay of teachers the finance commit
tee formally establishes q rule which,
In the recent past, was tolerated only in
the economic litany of folk known as
wild-eyed visionaries. This is the rule
of equal pay for men and women en-
gagged in similar employments.
Surely we are getting along. There
are suffragists and labor leaders aud
reformers of all sorts who have become
known as rather dangerous liberals be-
cause of their advocacy of a principle
now accepted In the very sanctuary of
conservatism. And they are still travel
ing hard road TO distant goal.
The new scale of pay suggested for
teachers in this city is not sensational.
Talk of minimum salary of $1,000 a
year and of a maximum Of $500 in
some grades - to be attained after a
service of nine years - will sound
strange in this day and generation. But
the board has done the best that is
possible under present circumstances
1t may have stopped temporarily, the
drift of teachers into other lines Of work
How great this drift has become is ap-
parent in the admission of the school
authorities that schools are actually
being closed because of lack of in
structors. But the new wage schedule
will not allay unrest among teachers
until the high cost of living takes a
long fall

RAZING THE "oLD WALNUT

CONTINENTAL regrets over the an
~ nounced razing of the Walnut Street
Theatre are modulated by the promise
that modern playhouse is to be erected
ON the same site. The continuity of
stage traditions at Ninth and Walnut Il,
therefore, not really severed. The sur
viyal of this footlight inheritance is,
after all, the chief historical asset of
the theatre.
Physically, the Walnut today differs
greatly from the original structure of
1s0s. The facade, although venerable,
marks subsequent change. For a time,
early in the last century, the interior
was arranged as an arena for circus
purposes. Later the house was remod-
eled in conformity with the English
fashion and contained pit Great
actors - Forrest, Booth, Cushman,
Mansfield d--not old walls, give the Wal
nut rs abiding fame.

ancient structure ceases to be when 1t is
rebuilt or whether extinction waits upon
the appearance of an absolutely new
edifice. The celebrated Theatre Fran
cais dates its continuous life from 1850,
yet the House of Moliere has had sew
eral homes, and in 1000 the one occupied
since the French Revolution was, after
q fire, restored" in way that would
have awakened scant recognition by the
First Napoleon.
Philadelphiaps with regard TO our
theatrical traditions should be pleased
that the Thespian spirit will not depart
from congenial neighborhood. The
"Old Walnut" as it is affectionately
called, can be the better spared because
its resemblances to the house erected in
the first decade of the nineteenth century
are comparatively few.

says Siat 'to go out and try to per-

He was Progressive Republican be

primarily to secure the adoption of

WHAT is n university, after all?
w First and foremost, a university is
an aggregation of scholars scholars
who are, scholars to be. And it is a
great or n little university on the basis
Of the scholarship which it contains and
upon no other basis whatsoever. Num-
bars? Any crowded town eau beat it.
Wealth? ANY bank is its peer. Build
ings? 1t cannot compete with what the
municipality erects in any big city.
Age? Methuselah was older. Even in
the matter of a collection of books, an
ironmaster or an oil magnate can put
the best of our universities to blush.
First and last, university is an aggre-
cation of scholarship; scholars who are,
scholars who are to be-all the rest is
the body and like all other bodies cor
porate, sustaining, necessary, but Schol-
arship is alone the soul.
