Democracy and

Auguste Rodin says Art Is con-
templative. a pleasure Of the mind
which searches into nature" How
vastly different Is his definition from
the art Of American people Of today.

fundamental thing that real living Ia
made up Of. that Of high ideals and

o3ucation as a search for beauty or
truth In itself. The study OF the
beauty Of nature or OF real art has
mt entered seriously into the prob
lam Of fitting the mas" for citizen
ship. We have failed in our inter.
pPetation Of democracy. We have
been striving TO alleviate the condi.

have been leaving out the basic

beauty and the value Of dreams. or.
~ Rsdin says, we must take time to

Our problem. then, in striving TO-
ward real democracy. is to alIevi-

education and thru better Industrial

about $50 or $50. knew nothing
whatever of such a proposition. How.
ever. as had made inquiries at a
bank where had a small account re.
aarding the firm and had been as
surcd they were reliable. l never had
a suspicion that every thing was ne,
as represented. The salesman told
me they had another purchaser who
