there's method in his madness.
All these well-known phrases
come from other of his plays:

These are but a few of the sub,
JectS that could be cited to de-
scribe the power of Will Shake

tell us that it took a French Rev
olution to establish the rights of
women to be consideredas human
beings of flesh and blood, with
minds and souls. Even the icono-
elastic Rousseau's rights of man
were intended for his own sex.
| Almost two centuries before him

Matthew Arnold knew this too
for his sonnet on Shakespeare
reads:
All pains the immortal spirit

All weakness which impairs.

visions to treat those who meet
with beach mishaps
Capt. Craig says the ideal set
up would be to have some one
with medical training on duty
He recommends that the build
ing fronting on the boardwalk
have an upper deck so a watch
man with binoculars could scan
the beachfront and life guard
stations. The headquarters would
also act as an information CEN
ter, providing the latest in
formation on weather and ocean
temperature.
Ocean City employs IS regular
life guards and four additional
ones on week ends. They protect
from the SinepuXent Bay inlet
to Twenty-Seventh street, dis
lance of about two miles. Drown
ings are a rarity here. Thus far
this summer the guards have
made over 270 rescues. with
about 500 the average during the
season.
