Faulkner, Ezra Winter and Eugene

Of Classical Studies, furnished our
universities and schools with nearly
one hundred and fifty professors
trained in the humanlstic as opposed
to the pedantic spirit, among them
such men as Howard Crosby Butler,
John r. Crawford, Dean Lockwood,
Walter Lowerie, Ralph v. Magoffin,
Esther B. Van Deman and James C.

''Now, after all these years Of
success, the sponsors and trustees
Of the Academy find that compara-
lively few university men, and hard
ly any of the public who are not
specifically interested in educational
matters, know anything about their
ideals and the scope of their work
and very little about the results
they have accomplished.
For this condition the Academy
has primarily to blame itself. It has
been too busy striving to realize it's
vision for the artistic and scholastic
future of America to have much
time to talk or write about its work.
"Now, all Of us. who are inter-
ested in the Academy are pausing
long enough to realize that unless

'Part Of the fund is to 90 toward
the increased cost Of maintaining
the already established fellowships-

But the bulk Of the money would be
used for the founding Of three new
fellowships in landscape architec-

Americas Defects
$50 America has been accused.
and no doubt rightly, of having no
artistic background. Sociologists
have gone 80 far as to point to the
fact that we not only have had no
native art, but that we were even
sadly lacking in folklore, which is
supposed to be the germ from which
spring the higher manifestations Of
culture.
"Of course, America has produced
artists and men Of letters even be-

turned out many inventors, financial
geniuses and talented authors since,

French capital and took possession,
throwing away francs like scraps Of
paper. Prices were inflated beyond
recognition, but government ex-
chequers were paying the bills.
American and Allied officers on
leave made counting the days re-
ceipts the most enjoyable of occa-
sions. So all Paris hopes for is an
even better season this year.
Most Of the rumors as to the
probable number Of American tour
lists are extravagant. Some have
placed it as high as half million;
people who pretend to be expert in
that sort Of thing estimate the in
vaders' strength at about 200, 900.
Not that this number, or anything
like 1t, will be here at any one time,
but that 100000 Americans will
visit Europe between May and Sep
tember. Probably majority of them
will visit both London and Paris. 1t
is also expected that a considerable
number of tourists will arrive this
year from Canada, South Africa,
Australia and New Zealand.
Shipping Restricted
The first obstacle which the
prospective American tourist will
encounter will be, of course, the
shipping problem. Upon the amount
of shippinp available depends the

Many Of London's largest ans

the government for the period of
tho war, and many Of the govern
ment departments are still in them !.

have, Of course, been recently re-
leased, but they will not be available
for the accommodation Of travellers
for many months to come. Some of
the larger hotels have even been
purchased by. industrial concerns as
offices.
As ssCuests"
One answer to the hotel shortage
has been suggested. Why should
not Americans with the money and
the inclination live as paying
guests in some Of the beautiful
country estates some distance out
from London7 There can always be
found people Of good social position
who would be glad 10 accommodate
American guests in this way. A
recent advertisement in tho per
sonal column Of "The Times" read:

where could keep at least two cars:
sports. hunting. etc. IL possible; ex-
pense no consideration
The advertiser was overwhelmed
with replies. For various reasons
many owners of country houses are
prepared to accept limited numbers
of guests on some such arrangement
as the above. The thing need not
necessarily be done on such q large
scale. There are also many private
hotels which are anxious to cater to
this sort Of visitor.
Many American tourists spend a
considerable part Of their time in
the Shakespeare country. or the
Lake districts, or Wales, all Of which
helps relieve the congestion in Lon
don.
The British capital never expert
enced difficulty in coping with the
influx of tourists in prewar days,
and so is hopeful Of pulling through
this coming season. If only the
stream of American tourists will
keep moving" and not stagnate
in London, hotel proprietors are not
anticipating too much trouble.
Those who own the little hostelries
on the outskirts Of the city are look
ing forward with pleasurable an
ticipation to receiving some of the
overflow. In prewar days it was
the custom for tourists TO conpre-
gate in the largest Of London's ho
tells and scorn the more attractive
tariffs but less convenient locations
of the suburbs. This year it is go
ing to be question Of getting in
anywhere. Even the famous water
ing places, one OR two hours run out
Of London, expect to receive hun
dreds of American visitors who may
be unable to secure accommodation
in London.
Just how many millions Of dol
lars Europe expects American tour
sts to spend cannot be estimated.
All they have, at any rate.

Battle6elds the Feature

The chief feature of Europe this
coming year will, of course, be the
battlefields, particularly those on
which the American forces fought.
Elaborate arrangements for parties
to tour the sacred ground in Flan-
ders and France have been made.
Hundreds Of ex-officers, fluent in

dirigible of the Zeppelin type, from
which the whole sweep of the terri
tory which was so fiercely disputed
for over four years can be taken In
at glance.
This question Of visiting the bat

ton Of the hotel problem which ]
have not mentioned before. raris,
as have said. is goinx to be
crowded to the limit. And prices
are going to be high. But between
Paris and the battlefelds lie many
quite respectfully sized cities which
will be prepared to accommodate
tourists at prices far below those Of
the French capital.
The cost Of living, which has shot
up everywhere in the largest cities
Of Europe, has, if anything, de-
creased somewhat since the war in
these smaller places. Moreover, such
Injuries as eggs, butter, milk and

eyes these days. And as for
the hotel proprietors-well, they
may frown a bit when they ponder
on the certain shortage of accom-
modation, but they certainly are
rubbing their hands secretly In an
ticipation Of the coming American
invasion.
Over IN gay Paree IT'S the same
story. The Germans didn't ret to
Paris, but the hotel and restaurant
people are going to make sure that
the Americans do. And there, as in
London, they are preparing to show
the Americans who it was that reallv
put the H in the II. C. of L.
Where Will They Sleep?
Close upon 100000 American
tourists are expected in Europe this
spring and summer. In the daytime
they will be all right; just where
they are all going to sleep remains
an open problem-but it Is going to
cost them something, day or night.
The cheapness Of accommodations in
England and on the Continent is q
legend; it went out Of being with the
war, so far. at least, as the large
cities are concerned. With a favor
able exchange rate as the only
solace to their wounded pocket
books, American tourists are going
to find Europe just about as expen-
slve a place as they have ever
risited.
Even to-day hotel rates are being
revised, and revision in this sense is
not synonymous with reduction. The
Incorporated Association of Hotels
and Restaurants has held it's annual
meeting. Exactly what was decided
as to prices was not made public.
The official announcement read:
THE general opinion was ex-
pressed that, taking into considera-
ton the facts,
Il. A considerable amount of
hotel accommodation would be avail
able by May l, owing to the removal
OF government Offices;
"2. More accommodation would
be available this year than during
the war, owing to the absence of
overseas officers and their families;
"3. The annual exodus from Lon
don OF the usual hotel residents dur
ing the holiday season would prob
ably be greater than ever; there
fore, there was no reason to antici-
pate any great difficulty in provid-
ing accommodation for American
visitors, for whom every prepara-
tlon Is being made by London and
provincial hotels"
From Paris the unofficial word is
something like this:
Send US your Americana! We
don't quite know where we will put |
them to sleep, but send them on and |
leave the rest to us. Paris expects
every billiard table to do its duty!"
