ton to turn to art as an aid in the

Zorn. one of the sanesr symptoms in
the tottering Germany of to-day.
ON. the first evening of the National

1919, at Weimer 10 frame a consti-

in their spirit still remains, and this
spirit may yet become active and
take a strong part in leading the
country out of its confusion"
Remember that the rebenious
schoolboys carried guitars. In art
does the spirit of freedom and hops
invariably speak. When a nation
can create, when il consciously seeks
to understand life with the aid OF
art, its story is not done.
In the intensive revival of the
German drama Prof. Manthey -Zorn
finds a sign of social adjustment.
There is in Germany. he says. an
unusual differentiation between a
show and a drama There are shows
a-plenty, movie palaces and music
halls. But the drama must in
terpret life, must reflect the great
problems of the nation. In it must
be mixed a bit of social philosophy
This is the sort of art in which the
Peoples Drama League of Greater
Berlin is interested, and the leagues
membership of 10000 is limited only
by the size of its theaters. There is
a close connection between the
popular attraction to rhe better kind
OF theater and the growth OF the

justified, and each is necessary. but
there remains no small danger in
over emphasizing the latter at the
expense OF fhe teachings of Wash

DR.. Woodson does this 10 point
which makes his book unfit for use
as a textbook. But it remains an
unusually interesting and valuable
statement of the record of the negro

is also as critically dispassionate as
one could reasonably expect in most
respects. Regarded merely as narra-
tive it is exceedingly good: fluent,
clear, with no small distinction OF
style.
He begins with a sketch of the
negro in Africa, which needs a good
deal of modification from the stand
point of the archsologist and eth
nologist, as it is somewhat too
roseate in its picture of the heights
attained in native African culture.
That, however, is minor matter;

the whole field is one in which
ground has as yet hardly been more
than broken. There follows an ex-
cellent account OF the beginnings of
slavery, of the patriarchal stage, of
reactions and protests against it in
the South and OF the rise of the
harsher economic and industrial sla-
very that followed the growth Of cot
ton raising and finally brought on
the civil war. DIR. Woodson also

more usefully. OF the increasing df-
ficulties that arose in dealing with
the freed negro. both in the South
and North. He then follows the
negro through the troubloas recon

could speak bitterly OF looking for
ward to a time when he who SAYS
aught OF negro's virtues will not
be cried down as an advocate drunk
with prejudice" If there was still
justification for that twenty years

for there is no lack of recognition

possibilities for future progress does
not at all imply ignorance Of his

white TO deny an enduring differ
ence; difference wherein there need
be no question of superiority or in
feriority, the sole pertinent fact be-
ing that such a difference indubit-
ably exists.
DR. Woodson's book, which is in
most respects an admirable per-
