Citizenship and Art

I would define the good citizen in
almost exnctly the same terms as 1
would def ne the artist. To be a good
citizen you must be. first and fore
most, an excellent workman. a pro
Queer OF something which il is an cd.
ueation to produce and which when
produced is OF real value to ycc- Eel
low men-it may be a sonPet or L
may be n perambulator.
When men are doing excellent work
(when. that is. they have become ar
t.st-citizens according to their epe-
c!ai apt.tudel. two things invariably
follow: o. They feel the value OF
their wi lives and learn 10 respect
themselves accordlngly-a state of
things which is the best possible pro
lection against vice and degeneration;
(2) they learn to respect their fellow
meu who T tryiny to do the same
thing. When competition takes place
on the ground OF excellence it unites
men and leads to mutual respect. just
as surely us it divides them and leads
to mutual distrust when it takes place
on the ground OF greed. These two
results. self-respect and mutual re-
spect. which grow inevitably out OF
the pursuit or excellence IN work, are
the very things most c-onspicuously
lacking in our greed governed civiliz-
alton. For my part I do not see how
they are TO be restored until the arts
and crafts are given their proper
place In human life and made founda.
ton in the trainlg of the good citizen.
I see no chance. OF restoring them
through any of the political and eco
nomic activities which now occupy the
chief place in u thoughts. Indeed.
the further we advance on these lines
the deeper we seem to be sinking INTO
the bog of confusion and mutual dis
trust. For that reason I am con-
WINGED that the work of promoting
the arts and crafts is no mere side
show or irrelevance. We are working
in the soil in which the good citizen
ship of the future Will have its roots.

To Teach Us War Game

Tired. perhaps of being taught 80
much by the West. China has herself
come teaching to the United States.
She comes OF course in a typical Orien.
tai manner. having no notion Of teach
Ing us how to turn out more work.
nor how to increase hope for the here
after. She has a courteous concern
with nothing more than thu margins
Of our time. intending only to teach
us to play new games and to tempt
us to lengthen leisure.
In this manner. so she tells It her
SELF, will the intelligence OF our peo-
pie be improved. their pleasures in
creased, and time pass. And the cause
Of peace on earth will be nightly ad-
vanced. for the man who was born in
China believes that he speaks truth
when he says that a good game and a
gamble are better than many fights.
This teaching. OF course. arrives by
way of Canton. The new games are
coming by that route. too. Canton is
canny. Canton comprehends the work
ings Of the Western mind with curl
ousiy little distortion. Finding IL
amusing and profitable now to teach
the United States Nah Jongg. the
mandarin game OF the worlds creation,
she drops the dialect OF Canton when
English letter labels are made for the
chests that hold the bamboo and ivory
pieces.
Even as those whom every new
thing interests arc learning to read
tho faces of tho tiles. to know the BAN.
boo and the dots. the rich man ana
the winds. and the flowers snd the
seasons. Canton is planning TO teach
another and an easier game to those
who are not going to be able TO mas
ter Nah Jongg.
They have decided to teach Chang
Chez next. Chang Chez is the chess
OF the Far East. A game to teach tao.
tics in time of war, invented to train
a soldier how TO fight. a notion OF the
Emperor Wang OF the Han dynasty,
which ended in the year rs. according
to the Western calendar.
This war game. invented about the
time the Christian era opened. Is
played with thirty-two pieces. square
ivory blocks with rounded corners re
sembling little biscuits. Two persons
play the game.
On either side OF the river indicated
in the center of the cloth on which
the moves are made are arranged on,

two horses. two cannon. W small

says Canton is a good game. It ha:
not been tried out so long as Nal

any case, they think OF teaching It &c

Our Foreign Service.

FOREIGN service unsurpassed by that of any
Il other nation at an additional cost of less than
t%wo-fifths of n cent per capita annually will be as
sured by the Rogers bill now before the Congress.
The foreign service is our first line of defense and
the advance guard of commercial expansion.
Considered from the standpoint of results to be
achieved in higher efficiency and prestige in the
foreign service of the United States; in strength.
ening the agencies that make for peace; in attract
ing to the service the best talent III the country
in inducing those already in the service, as well as
those who will press for entrance in the future, to
select it as a permanent career; in expunging the
-anarchronistic distinctions now existing between
diplomatic and consular officers, and in democra-
fixing our service, as every leading nation has done
with its own; in humanizing the service; and in
giving every officer a fair field with no favor
the additional appropriation contemplated by the
bill becomes infinitesimal.
The Rogers bill reclassifies and reorganizes d.
plomatic and consular offices. 1t puts the two serv-
ices under one head and one roof-the foreign
service. All below the grade of ambassador and
minister are to be known as "foreign service
officers" from the entering Glass Q for young
men, at $1,000, to Glass 1, at s9,0no per annum. It
provides for a retirement annuity at the age of 65,
ranging from $50 TO $500, dependent on length
of service and grade attained therein. 1t makes
provision for representation allowances, as other
natI1ns have done.

The PubIic's Estimate.

ITO HAVE STAGED a theatrical success either
l. on the legitimate stage or in pictures means
Just the same to the producer as applause does to
slhe actor. The producers applause, of course
zcomes through the box office, but he has TO be
just as jealous in maintaining the integrity of
his name as a national advertiser does in keeping
up the standard of his goods.
The really big producer, who has established
: his name throughout the country as providing the
better class of attractions has a promise to fulfill
every time he puts his name on a production. He
is not only gambling with his money, but is placing
his reputation at stake, too. That is the reason
why there are greater efforts being made today
than ever before to provide attractions that please
and "make good"
Many have felt the pride that comes with the
production of a success. Others have fallen upon
times when the public did not agree with them.
1t is always best TO accept the public verdict
1t is Il serious mistake to try to force over a
play, a picture, an actor or an actress the public
does not like. Stimulating by various advertising
devices does but little good and oftentimes harm
TO a producer the public has previously held in
high esteem.

Debate or Discussionp

WHILE the two words hardly sustain the dis.
" tinction he tries to establish between eem
yet DIR. Overstreet would replace debate" with
discussion. Nevertheless, his meaning seems clear
enough. The discussion he would have would be
between a larger or smaller group of interested
persons, none of whom would start with the as
sumption that a given proposition was false OF
true.
The members of the group would not be antag
onists fighting for victory, but friends gathered
for the discovery of the truth, each making such
contributions toward it as he can and CAREFUL,
giving to tho contributions of the others sucl
weight as in his judgment they deserve. The,
will not be disturbed if they come to no agree
ment, to no conclusion, and if they do reach on,
they will hold it in some degree provisional, pos
sibly to be modified or even rejected later if new
facts or ideas become available.
These sound n little like counsels of perfection
for few or none of us have time for suspendint
Judgment In regard to everything, and almost o.
necessity w must hold at least a few things a.
settled for good and all. In theory, however, DR.
Overstreet is right In his preference for discussion
over debate, as he understands those words, anC
right in declaring that the way in which men o.
science approach a problem is much better than TIL,
way in which a lawyer starts out to win his clientt
case for him if he can.
OF course, the lawyer can and does defend his
method. can be and is proud of his forensic
victories.

RaiLwau Mergers.

WHILE the talk of forcing the railroads to merge
w into systems in order TO promote economy
and efficiency of operation, is the loudest, two i'm.
portant mergers are under way through the initia-
tive of owners of the roads. This is the proper
method 1t is not at all likely that any govern
ment tribunal, ignorant of the practical problems
of railroading, could make an arbitrary merger
that would be as satisfactory and successful as
n merger worked out by railroad owners and man
ayers who best understand the natural channels of
trade and can work out the best schemes for the
handling of freight with the least loss of time and
the smallest cost of operation
