nerS. The responsibility for con-
slant maintenance of this princi-
pie should therefore be under
taken by the minister, but that
responsibility can only rest in his
power when he includes in the
organization of the theater the
full, free partnership Of the in
tellectual and moral forces of the
nation, so that he, in turn, makes
the nation responsible for
itself.
1--WE claim the fullest and keen
est interest CT the whole nation
fer an artistic establishment that
combines all the arts with the
object of ennobling taste and
manners. This interest of the
public's must be active, energetic,
not slack and specifically at
tracted. Were it solely for that
reason, we must never dream of
showing ourselves in a Journey
man light, never set before it rep
resentations that have issued
from the customary fix; no, every
one must bear the stamp of ut
most possible finish, that art may
constantly assert its rank and
dignity.
ITO seek the inner kernel CT the
drama, in face of our theatric
doings, the public has been abso-
lutely unaccustomed, and for the
reason, that it has never

sprung from those ever-preSent
moods and bearings which it feels
with all its soul. The public Of
our theater has been solely offered
foreign goods. which have never
made its heart to beat, but merely
laid the claim to its outmost sem

This goal is SO new and sig

uncommon and far reaching. that
many for this very reason will not
believe it possible of attainment,
particularly as the means I pro-
pose are so simple and so few.
What I have set forth, is in it
self an actual possibility. On
whether those who possess the
powers for it's realization shall
gain faith in it for themselves.
depends its attainment. I, by no
means, f1atter myself that through
my mere exposition I can find
that needful faith. Were it pos
Sible for me to bring before the
public the full artistic deed, in all
its convincing directness, I GER
tainly should be beyond a doubt
as to the victory of my view, for
the character of every public is
to be miStruStful only of fancy

phenomenon, it decides with un-
faltering surenesS. But the ar
tistic phenomenon meant by me
is only to be brought to pass by
the force of a common will; to
have aroused this will in a hand
full of men with willing hearts and
thinking heads, may, for the pres

be my solitary success"
