MIR. Sothern Interested
Mr.. Sothern has taken an inter
est in the movem,nu for dramatic
study in the colleges. He recently
sent Mr.. Somerville groups of. pic
tules of the latest Sothern- Marlowe
Shakesperean revival, and remarked
that he was glad that the students
found an appeal in the pictorial and
prompt book approach to the stage.
He suggested that a collection If
stage models and costume designs
would be appropriate.
Heretofore" said Mr.. Somerville,
in telling of his work, "college the
atrical performances have been one
Of two kinds. Either the dry bones
of some archaeological dramatic
specimen were given a rather dis
NAL rafting, or the democracy Of
American education was displayed in
the cavorting by a couple Of score
Of intellectuals to the tune of
some syncopated rag. A desire to
be literary or remote often prompted
the first kind of performance, while
an intention to be timely and spicy
prompted the second.
"The one-act play, a serious art
form, has offered a solution Of the
difficulty, in that it allows a wide
variety in the total of an evenings
program, and at the same time does
not tax the amateur with the bur-
den of sustaining a character for a
full evening. Moreover, the various
long suits of a large number Of
students can be put to use in a
sequence of three or four short
plays, whereas single three-act
piece will not offer such a valuable
opportunity for wide participation.
All of the desirable qualities sought
by either of the usual attempts at
college dramatics can be found in
the one-act plays. Many of them
are excellent pieces of literature.
can acknowledgment that the per-
formance of plays by students offers
them any educational advantages
has been tardy in coming from
those who have been most identified
with the administration of Americas S
institutions of learning. The opin-
ion is by no means general that the
time spent in the study Of parts and
in the preparation of performance
has any virtue for the participants
beyond certain vaguely defined So
cial training which the cooperation
attendant upon rehearsals affords.
This attitude is due to number of
misconceptions. In parents there is
an old prejudice against play acting
as being in the catalogue with Jug
Cling, sword swallowing and tight
rope walking. In teachers there is
a habit of regarding plays as of the
page rather than as of the stage.
In administrators a notion is dom
lnant that students get out of acting

there is the idea that character i'm
New-York tribune., 1920-06-20
A Legitimate Ambition

"Now, of all the misconceptions,
this last seems TO me to be particu-
larly inconsistent. The daughter of
tne professor of Shakespeare re-
ceives much parental encoura cement
in her attempts to spray an odor OF
culture about the pedagogue's par
lor by droning out the Moonlight
Sonata The college presidents son
is not hampered in his attempts to
win his letters in a game which has
become the greatest professional
sport in America. Yet when a col
lege student tries his hand at a part
that was once played by great
actor he is likely to be greeted with
a tolerant smile, illuminated by the
remark, It's great to have aspira-
tions!' think that amateur acting
is as legitimate as amateur ball
playing and amateur piano playing.
And it should be encouraged as
much. Just as the college baseball
player tries to bat above 800 and
to field 1000, and the college girl
attempts to play Chopin with the
grace of a Gabrilowitsch, so may
they both enrich their faculties of
expression by trying to give dra-
matte exposition to the great char
acters of stage literature.
THE fact that students have not
made more insistent demand for
the active drama in schools and COL
leges is often the result of concepts
of drama which the usual teacher of
English establishes in his lecture
room. That drama is often litera-
ture cannot be denied, nor does any
one want to make the denial. But
that drama is literature exactly as
the novel or the epic is literature is
misleading. Yet it is this notion
which often pervades the students
mind, even to his graduation from
college. He is led to examine the
character of Hamlet with the same
perspective that is used in estimat-
ing the character of Silas Marnerl !
He must scan the speeches of
Othello, count the end-stopped lines
and the rhymed couplets in Romeo
and juliet and know Lady Mac
beth's maiden name. He is asked to
tell what Ibsen THINKS about incom-
patibility, what the relation of his
early plays is to the technique of
Scribe, and what philosophy he
holds concerning disillusionment.
Sometimes the student hears about
suspense and is urged to go through
his plays to mark instances. But
for the most part his study of
drama is conducted along lines of
printed literature, rather than in its
natural setting, the theater.

ination papers to the actor Louis
Calvert.\ After reading them, he ex-
claimed: It's all too analytical. l

THE PROTESTANT "DRiVE" AND
RELIGIOUS EDUCATiON.>

One feature of the various religious
drives" now distracting and edifying
the country, is the stated purpose to
devote large portion of the proceeds
to christian education" says Amer
lea. Probably a majority of the
ecclesiastical organizations favored by
our separated brethren have some
form of Religious Education Board"
but the precise purpose and actual
work of these bodies is not clear to
the outsider. The elementary schools
maintained by them are numerically
negligible, and the religious educa-
ton impaired by the usual type of
"sectarian" college or university is
more than doubtful. 1t would be
easier to isolate child from all
human intercourse until his eighteenth
year, and then train him to speak
correct and idiomatic English, than
to isolate him from religious training
until his college days, and hope to
teach him the fundamentals of dog
matte religion: 1t can be done, of:
course, but the delay makes the task
ten-fold more difficult. And to judge
from current report not a great many
professors in some of these collegiate
institutions are remarkably anxious to
train the student how to walk along
religious paths. "You can get any kind
of heresy or atheism you want" a
disappointed Baptist recently re-
marked, ''out at the University of
Chicago"
In startling contrast with the non
Catholic Religious Education Board
is the practice of the Catholic Church.
Catholics have very few such Boards,
too few, perhaps, and little more
system would not hinder, but they
have schools which teach that God
has some rights over the work of His
hands, and that is the main point.
Better schools without a Board, than
Board without schools. Our schools
now number about 100000 pupils.
The annual per capita cost, estimated
at thirteen dollars some years ago,
, has probably risen to about eighteen
dollars. That means that Catholics,
most of whom are poor, annually con-
tribute about thirty-fve million dol
lars to the maintenance of the parish
schools alone. How much more they
contribute in the form of tuition fees
to colleges and academies, may be
| left, in the absence of definite data,
to the calculations of the statistician.
| And these huge sums are raised with
out the aid of drives" or similar
| methods, simply because Catholics
| choose to support religious education
! rather than to talk about it's absolute
| necessity.
The annual financial saving to the
| cities and the states is quite another
matter, but one we'll worth considering
| in these days of high taxes. One
| hundred million dollars is not con-
! sidered great sum in high legisla-
| tive finance, but every little hundred
| million counts. Yet in spite of their
| ethical value to the country, not to
mention what they save the taxpayer,
| we still have that curious form Of
| bigot whose patriotism consists main
| ly in. hatred of the Catholic School.
| His usual habitat is those remote
| regions in which illiteracy and vice
are rampant He cannot thrive, or
| even live, in an atmosphere of cnl-
| ture and religion.

HOW =, CARDINAL LAVlGERIE
GAINED A FOOTHOLD
ALGlERS.

During the terrible famine which in
1867 devastated the province of AL
giers and demanded the lives of 10000
people, and again during the pesti-
lence in the following year which car
ried off nearly one-fifth of the popula-
ton, thousands of Arab children were
left orphans and as no one looked
after them, Bishop Lavigerie collect
ed, housed, clothed and fed them, 1900
in number, and when able to learn,
he taught them various handicrafts as
we'll as the Christian religion, as he
beheld in them the seed of Arab
Christianity in time to come. BY this
work of charity he broke down Mo.
hammedan prejudices and gained the
heartfelt thanks and admiration of the
fanatical adherents of the Koran.
To secure the future of these
orphans he bought a large tract of
land where later he founded the two
Christian villages, allotted to each of
the newly married couples cottage
with twenty-five acres of land and a
sum of twenty pounds to buy the nee
essary implements and seeds to make
start in life, and entrusted the mem
bers of his newly founded Mission.

There is no love so binding as mother
love. Surely, in our hearts there
should be place of love for the Virgin
Mary, the Queen of Mothers. God
trusted her, so can we, God loved her,
shall we do less? Jesus loved her and
accepted her for His Mother; shall
we deny her this place-this holy
place above all women? If Father and
Son reign supreme over all of us here
on earth; if God through the Holy
Ghost is the Father of Jesus, and Mary
is the Mother of Jesus, then no mar.

but one instance of late has fallen I'M

its simplicity and it's farsightedness
1t can easily be initiated and at the

Kenrick Seminary voted ten dollars
