In his address, Mr.. Wentzell
traced the Onward March Of
Civilization" from early times up
to the present. The early people
of Greece had art, for they had
the best artists, students and
sculptors but they lacked civiliza-
ton. he said. Nero Of old liked to
see the contests and b1oodshed in
the arena. This was quite con-
trast to Lincoln and his attitude
towards slaves. Where Nero had
them killed, Lincoln freed them,
he pointed out. North Americans
in many places have yet TO be
civilized. because they allow bull
fighting. cock fighting and other
cruel sports, he declared.
