Pinero's plays. the Irish and Scotch plays, which are excellent; the French and Russian translations so much used by the Washington Square Players and the Theater Guild of America mem bers-all these are highly recommended for use in our work. for they are all real and nothing amounts to row of pins unless it is real unless it is natural.
 There is specific dramatic value in the study, of course, of Shakespeare, as well as a literary value" Miss Ward contin- ued, "and the modernists in literature, as I have cited previously, lend splendid material to expression in all of it's varied branches.

High School and Drdmdtics

N HONG the great throngs of splen-
 A\ did young men and women who = are included in the personnel of the Alabama Educational Association, which is holding it's big meeting in Br- mingham at present, there is tiny slip of girl-young pretty, and with the charming modesty which characterizes the most attractive of women-whose work in the Birmingham Central High school is quite worthy of attention.
 The young woman in question is Miss Hallie Ward. director of the department of expression. which is first cousin once removed from English. She is a western girl from far-akay Iowa, and since as suming the responsible position she holds
 in educational circles in this community, Miss Ward has proven herself worthy of the mantel she so gracefully and cleverly wears.
 Miss Ward and I enjoyed our talk yes- terday Cat least, she appeared to. and l really did). for we agreed upon one vital point regarding "expression,' and that is that it is not felocution," which We both hate thoroughly
 In the olden. golden days of bombastic oratory and "genuhecting gesticulations," :" when the "Curfew Shall Not Ring To- night type was in vogue, the boy who could dec1aim Mare Anthony's Address to the Romans drama tically and theat- rically and the girl who could "recite" Asleep at the Switch with all of the varying accompaniments was considered the prize" pupil in the "elocutlon de- partment''
 But, like everything else, "elocution" has evolved into something nowadays of real value; it has eliminated all the un- attractive, unreal things, such as the Iemulous voice and the gyrating ges- lures, and the great opponents of lex pression Fiske, Emily Stevens, Margaret Anglin, MT. Guy Bates Post, Mir. John Barrymore. MT. Otis Skinner. the best actors of the day-follow ''re- pression" of expression entirely.
 Miss Ward and I. as I said before, agreed on expression" versus "elocu- tion,' and then we got on swimmingly, Miss Ward telling me how she trained for teaching in this especial branch gradu- ating from the Iowa State Teachers Col lege and the Chicago University, and although many "sde lines" had held out inducements to her-the stage the plat form-she had adhered strictly to her original intention of teaching.
 Just here let me say,'' Miss Ward be- gan, "that never have I seen such oc- operation and such interest and ambition anywhere as I have seen during my short residence here with the boys and girls and faculty of the Birmingham Central High school To them the success of the department of expression is due absolutely everybody works for a com mon end-success, and today. with our 200 students in the department of expression, We have as fine a lot of young men and

 'The Drama League in presenting our play "A Widow by Proxy is giving us the greatest encouragement possible, this especial function of this influential or ganization being almost necessary to the growth and elevation of the work we are doing. The eight or ten pupils of the high school who take part in the play are greatly interested in it; they have dis played unusual talent, and I am proud of their success The patronage of the Drama League is a great stimulus to the ambition and the ideals of those interest ed in dramatic art, and we are deeply mindful of what it means to hsve the Drama League stand back of us in our efforts.

tary and economic gain. On the other
hand, it seems scarcely likely that
such a government as Kapp and his
cotoric are likely to establish will have
anything in common with the pur-
portcdly democratic Russian soviet.
Perhaps it is more justifiabie to think
that German government under
Kapp's dictation, adhering to monar-
chial highly centralized forms, can best
be considered bulwark for western
Europe against the spread OF Bolsh-

CITY LIGHTING

Thus far, The Tribune has not used
what influence it may possess in the
interest of a modern system of city
lighting Clearly with almost every
town Of Caldwclrs size in Idaho, bet
ter and more modcrnly equipped in
this respect. something should be done
But the belief that taxes are already
so high that additional civic expendi-
lures might be unwise. in lieu of the
prospects for additional paving,
prompted US to hesitate before advo-
eating the expenditures that a salts
factory system OF street lights would
involve.
Since that time a large number OF
Caldwell taxpayers have expressed
themselves in favor of the immcd-
late installation of system OF
street lights. The city bonded indcbt-
cdness will readily permit any expen-
diturc that may be called for. only So
per cent of the legal limit in civic
bonds having been issued.
OF the need Of modern system OF
street lights. there can be no question
Nothing adds more to the attractive
ness of town, nothing serves as !
better advertisement for visitors
nothing shows vigorous civic spiri
more clearly than do well lighted cit,
streets And Caldwell surely need
them.
Nothing is to be gained by waiting
| In a few years. new schools, addition

lures will be essential and the tim,
will be no more propitious for the in
stallation of street lights than is tn
present Let's get busy now.

WHAT NOW7

Only short time ago the allied
world stood amazed when the supreme
council of the league of nations de-
termined to leave the trial of German
officers and other government offic-
ials responsible for war atrocities to
German tribunals. According to the
original draft of the reace treaty these
men were to be tried by allied courts
Continued and vigorous opposition to
this plan by the liberalized German
government, together with promises
that every man designated by the al
lies, should be given fair trial, led to
an abrogation of the original clause
of the treaty
After the first wave of astonish,
ment had passed, clear thinkers led thI
public mind to believe that the con
cession was of less magnitude than i
seemed, that force might be used tt
insure a fair trial according to alliec
precepts, that single concession di,

cessiOns and that. to insure a reason

GERMANY.

Nothing in international develop
ments in recent months has created
the interest of American peonle to the
extent that the peaceful German rev.
olution has done. The situation is too
new to permit more than casual fore
casts of what it portends.
Perhaps the allies missed an oppor-
tunity or evaded responsibility when
they did not aid in establishing a
smoothly working, popular govern
ment in Germany. At any rate, the
overturn of the Ebert regime was not
unexpected, observers having long
noted that opposition was steadily in
creasing to the policies his govern
ment was pursuing.
Frank VanderliD sees q menace in
the recent overthrow. anticipating that
il may portend union with the Bolsh-
