Restoration of Par
thenOn Is Criticized

Athens. Jan. 11-Gy MaiD-Thc
manner in which the work of rcstor-
ing the north colonnade of the Par
thenon is being undertaken has
aroused the criticism Of archoologists
in Athens. They assert that the
Ministry of Public instruction is con-
Quoting this undertaking with no
more care than would be devoted to
the repairing of modern building.
ArcheoloCists the world over re-
gard this Temple Of PallaS, erection
Of which was begun $50 b. c. as de-
serving of the utmost care. One OK
pert in archaeology here saws that if
the restoration of the Parthenon is
continued on the lines proposed by
the government the beautiful build
ing. known the world over for the
perfection and dclicacy of its archi-
lecture, risks Disagreement.
What particularly disturbs the
scientists is the fact that it is pro-
posed to replace the missing blocks
Of marble and fallen columns and
arChitrave by a compound of lime
stone and cement. and this is in
country where marble abounds.
The critics say the government Of
fcials should at least consult with
experts in archaeology before pro-
ceeding further with the work of
restoration.

Paul had said he could not get along
