motherhood is sufficient glory for any
woman and when necessary she is Ia

hood because as mother she is the life

the trainer of children. That word
home, which symbolizes n philosophy
of life about woman opposed to that
view of her which emphasizes her right

which is the essence of what is called
.Woman's Revolt and is the mai.l-
spring of the whole feminist move

In addition to this problem of
motherhood, he touches upon certain
aspects of modern education which
are connected with that problem. For

but it can be immodest and in
decent, depending, in many in
stances, upon the attitude of the
spectator. For instance, an
oriental would be shocked to see
the face of woman while he
might not consider it improper
for the rest of her body to be
exposed. We see nothing i'm
modest or suggestive in athletic
young men gambling virtually
nude in track and field meets, or
boxing in the squared circle.
The human form is frankly
displayed, almost undraped, up
on the bathing beaches. We see
nothing either immodest or inn
moral in it. Yet the prudes re-
sent the display of such a scene
upon the screen.
Nakedness is as natural and as
moral among many uncivilized
tribes as is dress in our modern
civilization. 1t does not cause
immortality there else h e
tribes would perish.
! The prudery. of the middle
ages, when people had no higher
moral standards than the day,
is dying out. 1t would be diff
cult to prove that short skirts
and natty bathing suits and bsre
legs of modern dancers are de-
moralizing the world. They are
only outward manifestations of
the unconscious awakening of a
sense for the beautiful that has
not as yet learned to look upon
the human form divine with a
pure spirit.
The world will never return
to the days of Hester Prynne.
But it should hearken to the
words of the English queen who
proclaimed:
"Honny soft qui NAL y pense"
(evil is who will thinketh).
If the moving picture industry,
as we call it, is to remain an art
it must never be censored by
ignorant people who have no cen
ception of real art and who can
not see the trend of higher and
finer sensibility toward which
modern life is progressing. The
public can be counted upon to do
it's own censoring. 1t will reject
what is immodest and immoral
but it will not brand as immoral
the artistry of the nude.
Knowledge of the anatomy Of
the human body is no more in
moral than any other knowled re
we may acquire. AS long as the
arts represent things that are
beautiful and decent we find no
fault with them no matter what
methods they may use.
The anonymous prudes who
accuse the movies of contaminst-
ing the morals of the country,
would call a Shakespeare nasty
and a Michael Angelo or a Ka-
phael immoral. They would des-
troy some of the greatest works
of sculpture and painting and
for no other reason than they
see in them only the nude and
not the soul of the artist who
has stripped his very being to
portray an ideal vision of a high
er perfection.
The nudes of all the arts have
never corrupted the morals or
suggested single evil thought.

US the nude immoral? The
artist will reply in the mega
tive. The Puritan will
answer in the affirmative. The
general public can answer this
question only from a sense of
shame.
People generally have no un-
derstanding of the viewpoint of
the artist with whose work they
have had, until recently, little
chance to come in contact. But
the movies have changed all this.
The smallest community now
shows the human form, male as
well as female, as nature created
it, adorned and unadorned.
The cry Of immortality is rails
ed now and then against these
pictures by those who profess
religion. But even a casual OBJ
server notes that there is as
much if not more fidelity and
morality among the theatrical
people as among their religious
critics.
While the narrow minded are
questioning the morality of pic
lures which reveal something of
the human form, others look up
on them as amusing or enter
tanning and still others charge
them with being suggestive OF
evil thought.
None of them realize, in most
instances, that they are fort
unate in having been brought
face to face with a real work of
art. The question is but natural,
why violate a crude sense of
modesty and shame when the
public would be satisfied to see
blood and thunder melodramas,
detective plays of deception and
deceit that will make the hair
stand on end and even inspire
our pugnacious youth to out
bursts of laughter?
Why show fairies with bare
legs floating on the. air, as seen
last week at the Rialto theater in
"Singed Wings" that might
awaken poetic inspiration in our
youngsters when safeblowing
scenes and clever. poker playing
stunts might better prepare
them for the vicissitudes of
life. Why revel in glorious beau
ty when the drab and sordid
might make us feel superior with
cur undeveloped ae t h e t i C
senses?
At this moments writing, the
mail brings to me European
art calendar on one page of
which is shown a picture of
Christ upon the cross. 1t is a
Christ nude and pitiful, with on
ly a breech cloth about his loins.
This nude and suffering figure
has done more to spread Christ
ianity than all the bibles in the
world. e
Where is the artist who could
depict Him covered with a toga
from head to foot and attain the
same impression of godliness?
In the holy precincts of the
vatican of Rome there stands
the original nude figure of the
most perfect man-Apollo Bel
videre. And it has not contain
mated the morals of the vatican.
The nude figure is not immoral
