The Principles the Thing

HOWEVER, the money is not important, even
Il Il though the Irish Hospitals Sweep thus far has
handled gross receipts of 1898 Asst 900 and even
though the Irish government has budget surplus
OF about 100000 this year. The important thing
is the principle, and I certain that Mr. Nc
Cauley, as the representative of his government
among the morally weak but sincerely friendly peo-
pie of the United States, will leave no stone I'M
turned to exclude Irish Sweepstake tickets from this
country.
Yet considering the great traffic in these tickets
IN the United States, it sometimes seems that he is
not taking advantage of his opportunities to shield
from contamination that which we sometimes call
our moral character. The Irish postofice handles
the lottery mail, and the Irish government should
be able to prevent all but the tricke of Amer
lean money into the pool. Yet the traffic grows and
grows and our morals presumably receiving fresh
infections from this source.
Personally do not believe it is as serious as all
that, but in view of Mr.. McCauley's interest in my
London dispatch thought ought to show similar
interest in Mr.. McCauley's letter 1t looks like the
beginning of pleasant correspondence.

CnaC tnere is Such a sweep, and
am sure MIR. McCauley will
agree that this enterprise is lot
terry and that the laws of the
friendly republic Of the United
States forbid the sale of tickets
on the same in this country.
We may be prigs about it, but
that is our law, and when nations
are friends they generally try to
respect each others idiosyncra-
sizes.
This being so, I am sure that
Mr.. McCauley is doing everything
IN his power as the accredited
representative of the Irish nation
to discourage the sale of tickets

THIS is critical time with the teaching
profession. Reactionary pressure groups
are converging upon the teachers and de-
handing that they abandon their quest for
truth and submit in docle fashion to the in
timidation of professional patriots and
plutocratic interests
1t is gratifying to note important signs that
the teachers do not propose to take these attacks

On the Social Science Battlefront

TN the old days, the question of academic liberty
Il turned about issues of religion the teaching of
evolution and like problems. Today the battle RACES
around the social sciences which concerned with
the nature and future of our social, economic and
political institutions:
THE situation of the social scientist is the crux
OF the present campaign of repression. What is
now feared is not attack upon religious verities
nor upon myths about the physical origin of man,
but an attack upon the economic order which au-
gurs revolution The fears such revolution inspires
even when its nature is but dmly understood, are
already abroad They are expressed in a desire to
prohibit study of the economic, social and political
bases of American society in the hope that by
sitting criticism, those foundations will weather the
prospective storm"
In their most progressive journal, the Social
Frontier, the teachers carry the battle into the
enemyS territory Practically an entire issue is
devoted to the subject of Freedom in the School,"
to which more than dozen of our most eminent
educators contribute.
Strategy for Victory
DROP. JESSE F. NEWTON outlines the strategy
Il which must be followed if the teachers are to
win and repel the reactionares Cd The teachers
must be made to realize the critical nature of the
present onslaught; CD there must be a vigorous
organization for the local defense of inundated
teachers; CD teachers must realize their RESPONSE
bility and refrain from half baked declarations:
CD the teachers must be organized in militant
and inclusive federation; 60 the public must be
brought into the situation and made to see how it's
interests are involved in the freedom of teaching
and CD the relation of the issue of academic free
dom to that Of social change must be made clear
to teachers and public alike. Only education can
prevent social change from being violent and
wasteful
We may agree with Mr.. Grattans conclusion that
democracy and the freedom of teaching are in
separately connected:
Professors do not need the right to do and say
specific things. 1t is the right to study and an
nounce considered opinions about all matters which
fall within their science, and to announce those
opinions not only in the classroom and in scholarly
journals but also from public platforms and in
journals of general circulation. The responsibilities
of the learned, in democracy are not to other
learned folk alone but to the people, for without the
widespread diffusion of knowledge democracy will
perish"

the time were able to sincerely ex-
press this only helped the effect. But
as there were some humanitarians
working to make the world less al
loved good there were some creative
people who realized that "loveliness"
was being misidentified as beauty and
that profound honesty had been
crowded from the scene.
THE man to realize this most kesnly
nuent influence, through continuous
effort over 80 years, is Alfred Stieg-
litz. who returned to America after
having become noted in Europe for
his photographs, to re-establish the
camera as machine for realistically
recording things which express hui

they are filled with horror, but there
are few better examples of real beauty
(there is no longer any need to capi-
tolize). The new artist and the new
photographer knows there is in
trinsic beauty in the lowliest of things,
there can be functional beauty, a spir-
itual beauty that rises above the
sordid, or the more objective beauties
of color. tactile values and compost
tion. He knows that by sensitive
selective nature intrinsic beauty can
be discovered in many things other
than the merely pleasant. The only
comments on his success, the true
success is self-spoken, are ones OF
prejudice or real critical appreciation.
THE photographs by Edward Weston.
Walker Evans and Margaret
Bourke-White, the latter frequently
uses her medium for industrial and
social commentary, have been selected
for the Washington Photograph Show
especially to elucidate this trend. In
the Pepper" by Edward Weston, one
finds aside from an immediate text
ural beauty an emotion that he can
not instantly determine, then he re-
alizes the pepper suggests a mother
and child and, measured by his So
phistication, he is annoyed or at
tracted by this. Even if he is first
annoyed he soon realizes that he Is
not seeing "bears in clouds" but that
he Is seeing much more profound
statement, he is seeing the emotion
of mother and child, the warmth Of
flesh and the tenderness and protec-
tion Of contact. It is not a senti-
mental statement but the feeling that
runs through all forms of life.
These pictures, with additional ex-
amples by Doris Ullman. Carl Van
vechten, Ralph Steiner and the work
Of Washington photographers. will be
on view at the Junior League gallery,

point photography is as significant
and self-respecting as the other arts.
This redeclaration has been slowly
increasing in force. One could cali
its clarity and objectivity, its direct
ness, sunshine, but one must admit
that not all of the mists have been
burned out of the photograph salons"
yet. Edward Weston, now the most
completely realistic and depersonal-
lied photographer, was a salon prize
winner until 1921. when he began to
feel he was missing the actuahty of
photography.
He, with the best creative people Of
today, has tried to prove beauty is
not to be confused with loveliness,
that beauty is a more austere, a
sterner and richer quality. Greek
tragedies can never be called pleasant.

First Annual Show Here
Scheduled by Junior
League Gallery.
By Prenfiss Taylor.

THERE is continual talk of the
great tradition" in painting
and most of it is a lament
L that contemporary work is not
a. continuance of that tradition; but
with photography, which established
its own great tradition of honesty OF
vision at the outset, there has been
a manifest return to tradition, as will
be shown by many of the pictures in
the First Annual Washington Pho
tograph Show at the Junior League
gallery.
This strictly contemporary exhibit
ton of prints by Washington pho
tographers and important national
camera artists could not include the
work of David Octavius Hill, though
his Edinburgh portraits of the 1840s
and l85Os have since hardly been Sc
riously rivaled. There is book with
many examples of Hills work that
shows the first complete statement of
what photographs great tradition
would have to be. The use of the

of the photographer, to record as COM
pletely and honestly as possible the
total of the photographers aesthetic
sense his vision and his human ex-
perience. And the true following of
any great tradition includes technical
knowledge.
This tradition of photography owes
part of its early foundation to the
limitations of the first cameras, and
as the camera became more adaptable
the sense of it as a machine was lost
in welter of aesthetic and technical
experiments. Some of these pictures
were beautiful and remarkable, but
most Of them floated in pseudo ar
tistic mist of varying technical deli
cacies.
The camera, of course, was not doing
this alone. The world was seeming
