THAT "CIVIC VIRTUE"
STATUE

They're hosting that civic vir-
tue" statue Of MacMonnies into
position I'm City Hall Park, New
York. After the terrific civic com
motion about 1t, the crowds which
gather around have no idea what
1t typifies.
The Washington times., 1922-04-26

And that's art. true art. The
sculptor thinks he knows what It
signifies. Presumably it portrays
strong. clean manhood harshly
stepping on the neck of tempta-
ton, which is supposed to be a
woman.
The crowds which have been
watching the statue hoisted have
reached the conclusion that the
alleged woman is "a mermaid after
all-anyhow some kind of fish
with n tail-and that the man Is
just trough guy" with a base
ball bat ready TO knock off the
head of the temptress.
After the furore II caused has
been forgotten, bright New York
ers and passing rubes will stare
and wonder what II is all about.
Only the artists and sculptors will
stop and try to decipher its mean
ing. The high brows" will nat
urally understand right off the
bat, Just as they do when they
read Omar Khayyam and certain
OtntT poets "lo lfloubhA lil'y
knew what they were writing
about and believed everybody else
ought to know.
It's a grand thing to he high
brow" and see right through haZy
poetry and meaningless statues
without anybody having to tell
them.
From various New York new.
papers. which quote the views Of tn
populace about Civic Virtue:
who's the guy up there?"
"Why, he's virtue, whoever that
is"

For a ball club to achieve much

lack Of steadiness and teamwork
that hurt the Griffmen mora than
anything else. more even than the
