and umlimked niiilimli, wher even the
power,' et play are tn tun cirij '
with human poealldlliy, even to the levm
of 'ipernaturJ achievement.
f)na ennot. however, wltn line cer
tainty ley Ihe finger on other playe and
aav they, have the .erne definite eouroe
ef lnpiratlon. Put one can lft them all
and find that they reflect the general
enlrtt of the time, all oelebratlng the
Ideal, either In aohlevement or in tragie
InUrruldlon, And when thl I done, loo,
w find the total gum of Hhakeapeere I
noble Ideal, Of ne other dramatUt of
hi tlma can that be eald. That I what
make him a unlvereal elvlll.lng force,
world-power that need, no armament to
enforce peace over the panoply of armlea

And now. after TH) year, what Influ

In final anaJyul, then, the Influence of
Kbakeepeare on America would coma te
hi appeal te the Ideal, The manner .nd
the effect of that appeal may not be the
aama a with you, W heve not nulte
the earn mean of meaauring hi. Influ-
enne, in rcngiend and m uermenr imer
eat In Hiakeapeare, if not hi Influence,
I mired In pert by th number of
performance or th lack of perform
anoe of hi pty., We hear much talk
of thla a a .tamlard gauge here, and are
constantly remlndud that aa Oermeny
perform many of the play and Kngland
few and but rarely, therefore Kngland
care comparatively llltle for him. I'or
hap It may not be a perfect atandard of
mcaaurement,
llorr to ftaaae Ite rffeeta.
What Nhakepeare mean, to America le
by tie mean rightly meaaurod by the
number of , performance. Ill Influence
