The Last Plasterer.

There is reason to apprehend that
bricklayers will become as uncommoU
as veterans of the war of 1872. Wher
one reflects on the princely wages Of
brickIayers, it is a lamentable thought
that they have to die, but as with
all the worlds great, no way has been
found to save them from this unhappy
fate. An occasional veteran of tile
war of 1912 is recruited by fraud. and
an occasional apprentice is admitted
to membership in the Bricklayers
Union, but in neither case does the
number of recruits equal the NOR
tality list
The National Association of Manu-
facturers says that the number Of
apprentices admitted to the Brick
layers Union last year was less than
half the number of members taken by
death. At this rate bricklaying will
soon become lost art. and our
grandchildren will marvel at our skill
in laying brick as we wonder at the
lost processes of our remote ancestors
who understood and practiced the
tempering of copper.
The passing of the plasterers gives
even greater reason for Apprehension
and disquietude, because they are
passing even faster than the brick
layers. we replenish our streams
with trout, and we protect our song
birds from determination, but we
take no thought of our plasterers
BY reason of the limitation of ap-
prentices, most of our plasterers are
aged men and will not be with US
for long. The years are not many
when we shall regard with awe the
last survivor of the Plasterers' Union
very much as we regarded the last sur
vivor of the charge of Balaklava.
With the growing scientific interest
in these matters, il is not unlikely
that the professors at our institutions
of learning will soon undertake the!
study of this disappearing type as
they do the small remnant of the
aboriginal tribes. While there is yet
time, we suggest that there be pre-
served on the phonograph for future
generations the voice of plasterer
discussing long hours and slave
wages, for the era is not remote when
all we shall know of this species
must come from a study of the fossil
remains.
What antiquarian interest will
there soon be in fragment Of freshly
spread plaster? We can see the last
plasterer, a centenarian on his death
bed, painfully but skilfully spreading
this fragment, at the rate permitted
under union rules, for preservation in
the Metropolitan Museum of Art
alongside the fragment of King Tuts
hagon.

A Genuine PictuI

When me and Mandy long ago
Got both our pictures tooken,
She thought me quite a handsome
beau,
And she was real goodlookin'.
We often get the album out
For silent contemplation.
Them works Of art, without doubt,
Finds true appreciation.
In marble halls sometimes I've strayed
Mid splendid paints and plasters,
And paused before the works displa yed
AS wonderful old masters
I've later read about the way
Their valuation dwindled,
And all the critics had to say
Was, "Some one has been swindled"'
And 50 we're not ashamed to say
The picture that we treasure
Is one that shows us on our way
Amid the hours Of pleasure
Although it may not rank as art,
One fact there's no mistaking;
No one kin say, in language smart,
That we were fooled by taking.

SUBJECT
OF TALK AT ASSEMBLY

The precedent of past ages is SO
essential to architecture that every
modern building reflects to the care
/ ful observer its ancient fundamentals.
Upon this subject Prof. Rudolph
weaver, of the department of archi-
lecture, addressed the university as
sembly this morning in an interest
ing lecture, illustrated with slides de-
plctlng the gradual development of
architecture from the crude arch of
the Romans to the huge tower of the
modern skyscraper.
Balance and variety were the chief
characteristics of ancient architect
ure," declared Prof Weaver. "And
from that time down to the present
the beauty, strength, and harmony
OF these old fundamental styles have
slowly evolved into their modern per-
lection"
Prof. Weaver sought to give to his
audience an appreciation of the
beauty in modern architecture by
creating it in the atmosphere of the
past ages, and the cIear-cut. ap-
propriate slides ably illustrated his
point
Dean Miller, of the forestry de-
partment, in charge of the program, |
opened the assembly by introducing
an instrumental trio, consisting of |
Prof Claus, violin; Frank Mitten,
piano; and Robert Reed, cello, which
favored with several entertaining
selections.
