De Ia Uniyersi(lad
PRo-HosTos
Para Pepito Balseiro, poeta.

Por fin, Sc llev6 cabo la reunion en-
el Ateneo Puertorriquefo, en- que hab1a
de tratarse la idea de nuestro joven in
telectual, Ell poeta Balseiro. Lo mas Sc
lecto de San Juan concur-.5 al acto,
pero el recuerdo de Hostos Sc quedo
ALA en- las verdes campifias dominica
mas al parecer, para muclias personals
de Puerto Rico.
La prensa que no pierde cportunidad
de llevar sus lectores las noticias de
gran importancia comentaba al otro dia
los diferentes puntos que Sc trataron
en- aquella reunion. Puerto Rico las lee
pero no Las entiende. No las entiende
porque su alma no estaba en- Ell acto,
va que no su materia. Es un nal rel
mantle que unos nos desagrada, otros
enferma y otros molesta. Para que
este Sc corrija es necesario que nos de-
mos cuenta que Puerto Rico necesita
de actos culturales en- lue sc ponga dc
manifesto la educaci6n de nuestro pue
bio.
La juventud misma Sc o:vido que Ia
idea del recuerdo a Hostos surgi6 de
la mente privilegiada de uno de nues-
tros j6venes intelectuales. Solo habla
una representation de j6venes: la So
ciedad Literaria "Flores del Pensamien
to- de la Universidad de Puerto Rico.
Nuestros intelectuales Sc olvidaron de
que la idea era de rno de sus compa-
fieros. Nuestros ateneistas olvidaron
que un ateneista tambien fue Ell promo
tor de la idea; solo estaban represen-
tados por Ell digno p-esidente del Ate
neo, Ell poeta Jestis Maria Lago; nues-
tros abogados olvidaron que uno del
Toro fu6 Ell que origin6 esta idea; solo
estaban Representatives por Roman Diaz
Collazo Roberto H. Todd Jr. Las So
ciedades educativas, no ser por la Ii
ga Feminista Educativa. La Liga Su-
fragista la Sociedad Literaria va
mencionada hubieran brillado por su
ausencia y en- fin ell pueblo culto tam
bien. Sc trataba I'm asunto de una i'm
portancia tai, que creiamos el local de
nuestro pequeiio Ateneo seria POGO Pa
ra albergar tanta gente, y result6 ser
demasiado grande para aquella concu-
rrencia. Son cosas estas que simple
vista no tienen importancia algHna, pc
70 para ell visitante que nos estudje
ofrecen sufciente materia para calum-
niarnos degradarnos.
rs nuestra opinion que Puerto Rico
no asisti6 la reunion para luego pa
gar con creces la cantidad que Sc nece-
site. pero mejor hubiera sido que la
isla asistiera al acto y alli hacia una
conception mas refnada de la impor-
tancia de la idea Y la inagnitud del
case.
Interpretando ell sentimiento de mis-
compafieros de Unjversidad rogamos a
la Junta Directive que escoja como si-
ito para colocar ese homenaje-sea bus
to monumento-en el campo de nres-
ira aula superior, para que desae all
irradie toda su luz hasta iluminar 81
cerebro de los que como 6l, qlieren ha-
Ger algo por la patria.
Y en- nombre de In Universidai de
Puerto Rico, Hon. Emilio del Tcro Cue
bas, le deseamos mucho exito Ell sus
gestiones Y enviamos al amigo Balseiro
un abrazo fraternal y IN tribute de
admiration.

in the ranks of this exceptional COM
pany. Its owner is Miss Ruth Gar
land, the young lady we used as an
example OF feminine obstinacy. The
fact that she is pretty means nothing
for there are lots of pretty girls in
Maine. But If we add beauty to a
very charming personality, a very
excellent speaking voice and an eX-
ceptional facility to portray charact-
ers after the fashion of playwrights,
we have the qualities that make
good actress. Which is pleasant
forecast that patrons of the Lakewood
Theatre are going to like Miss Car
land personally and professionally.
As has been said, Miss Garland got
the foundation for her stage expert
ence at Leland Powers. Go on the
stage she must, so she went to New
York Neither Mr.. Belasco nor Mr..
Cohan met Miss Garland at the sta
ton. But after Il short time she
joined a dramatic sketch which tour
ed the Keith circuit. Two short en-
gagements in stock and the ingenue
lead in Sidney Toler's war play,
THE Man Who Stayed Behind" In
this play she learned to weep bitter,
salty tears, something all actresses
have to do sooner or later. Then
came the war
She volunteered her services and
went to France as member Of the
Overseas Theatre League. She was
soon selected for the ingenue leads Of
an all-American stock company at the
Prince Albert Theatre in Paris where
she appeared with Clarke Silvernail
and Beverly Sitgreaves. After the
French owners took over the theatre
she went to Howard Lindsay's stock
company the only dramatic organize
ton composed entirely of Americans
to play the Champs Elysee Theatre
in Paris. Upon returning from
France she appeared with Rollo Lloyd
in at Happens to Everybody" fol-
lowed by fun season on the Keith
circuit as the featured member of a
dramatic sketch. Stock engage
ments in Perth Amboy, Staten Island.
Washington. Akron and Boston have
enriched Miss Garland's wide expert
ence.

MISS RUTH GARLAND IS
COMING TO LAKEWOOD
Graduate OF Leland Powers School OF
Boston and Decided on Stage
Career

When a young lady starts out up
on career she is generally beseiged
with enough advice from her we'll
wshers" to carry her through the
span of several lives. IL she is a
perfectly normal young lady. snch as
Ruth Garland for instance. she will
then 60 ont and do the thing her own
way regardless of the guidance she so
gratuitously receives. Taking Miss
Garland's case as an example; when
she graduated from the Leland
Powers School of Boston not SO Icing
ago she decided that she wanted
stage career. But her teachers
and friends were unanimous in their
decisions that she should teach ora
tory. But we're getting ahead Of
our story.

HOLY EASTERT|DE IN THE
SEOWHEGAN CHURCHES

Easter services in the various hous-
es of worship were largely attended,
and not only was the spirit of the
time evidenced by able sermons from
the ministers and elaborate music,
but beautiful decorations. At the
Centenary Methodist Episcopal
Church, in addition to the forenoon
service, there was special service
in the afternoon for De Molay Nom
mandery No. 10, Knights Templar
with Somerset Lodge F. and A. M. as
guests There was very large at
tendance of these two bodies and their
formal parade from the Masonic
Building TO the church with the Citi-
zens Band as escorts attracted much
attention. Rev. II. L. Nichols deli
yered an able address and the Meth
odst choir contributed much with
their service of song. AT the Beth
any Baptist Church the forenoon
service was largely devoted to an
Easter concert and pageant while at
afternoon yespers nine persons re-
ceived the holy rites of baptism. At
the Federated Church there was the
usual Easter service in the morning
and in the evening a wonderful pre-
sentation of the pageant "At Dawn
ing" directed most efficiently by Mrs.
Edward F. Merrill. Hundreds of
people, possibly a thousand. were
turned away from this performance

the report concludes, that the Army War College at Washington was in vestigating how far legislation could go in conscripting labor. A repre- sentative called at the office of the American Federation of Labor and was told that labor would oppose any conscription legislation
 Tt may be we'll to quote Maj. Gen. Hanson E. Ely, the commandant of the Army War College, who broad casted his speech to the 343d Division Army Engineers, March 13, over the radio. He said that through con scription the government would be able to do away with any labor diff said that if there was anyone dissatis
 fled or disposed to make trouble he would be taken out of industry and put in the trenches. He said that he felt confident that an experience of this kind would be an adequate cure of all trucu1ency on the part of the working men, for he felt pretty sure that brief stay in the trenches would make the mines and the fac tories look pretty good.
 "The material resources, he said, would be handled in a somewhat sim liar manner with the distinction how ever that industry would be re quested' to produce the things re- quired at a fair profit. If the man agement was not disposed to do this, such as priority in freight shipments, cutting off fuel, supplies, etc" !
