Art, or Accelerated Education?
When John Drinkwatrr was in Omaha last
week lie talked to those who were ticar him at
luncheon with reference to the part that art plays
in the ordinary life of the people, and defended
the artist, as he might have been expected to do.
At one of the school meetings during the week a
former High school instructor, miow a successful
business man, laid down the proposition that,
had not the war come on, the world might have
been Prussianized 'within a generation. Again,
at the meeting of teachers and patrons of the
Central High school, the question ot accelerated
education came in for some lively discussion,
most of those quoted as taking part setting up
in favor of greater stress on the cultural aspect
of mental training. In all this may be noted a
healthy and encouraging continuation of some of
the debate that arose while yet the war was on.
Let us admit at the beginning that Art as
such has little enough of appeal to the practical
mind. Then, let us follow the thought suggested
by Mr. Drinkwatcr, and try to discover what we
are to do after we have made certain of ac
complishment of the' real end of human effort,
that of satisfying the needs of humanity. It we
arc to exclude art entirely, then no need for it
remains; when the world is fed and clothed
and housed and put to bed, human effort may
suspend. It has done all that is needed. But
the further condition confronts us; when man
has been fed and clothed and in other material
ways made comfortable, he asks to be amused.
How is' this to be done? If he goes to the
movies, to a concert, a play or a lecture, he
compels the presence of art.
How far this art is to be refined will depend
on another factor. If the mind of man has been
opened up to where his intellectual aspirations
are on a parity wit,h his material, he not only
wants some but the best of entertainment. If
his standards of art arc low, lie will be satisfied
with less, will seek or demand the cruder or per
haps the intrinsically unworthy and now and then
the positively harmful. Man's moral growth is
quite apt to keep pace with his intellectual,
neither moving as fast as his material, the latter
calling for little stimulant while the higher at
tributes of his nature must be carefully nurtured
to bring them to full measure.
If the great desire is to produce, if success
is" to be measured in the things that are ponder
able, then accelerated education is needed. The
sooner the youngster can be put through the
mill that develops and puts an edge on his
faculties for production and his proclivities for
the acquisition of wealth, the sooner he will be
able to produce and to acquire. Beauty to him
will be comprised in a bank account, a stock cer
tificate, and his jewel casket will be a safe
deposit box. These things are needed, but are
they chief end of man? If so, the Germans were
ou the right track, even if they did turn out
what the late Price Collier called a "nation of
intellectual inefficients."
However, if the ideals of our civilization nre
to remain on a plane higher than is contemplated
or expressed by the dollar mark, then the train
ing of our young people must comprehend some
thing beyond what is understood by "accelerated
education." Not only must they have the cul
tural along with the intensely practical, but ""they
should also get something of the ethical at the
same time. We may discard Greek and Latin,
although to so jettison the classics is likely 40
work less of good than of harm; to abandon 11
the treasures of the, past would be expensive.
We still look with regret on the ruined Cathe
dral of Rheims, yet that spectacle is no sadder
than would be the future without any ol U"
monuments of past intellectual endeavor.
A combination of the practical with the cul
tural training does not seem to be beyond
achievement, yet, if one side must be given
weight over the other, the future of the race
will be safer with those who have been trained
to value something that can not be measured by
the dross of the market place.
"Fair, Fat and Forty."
That delightful and effervescent fount of wis
dom, Mary Garden, who resolutely refuses to
sing in Omaha, tells her sisters that if they arc
fat after 30, they are doomed. She also tells
how she keeps from incurring the dreadful fate
of carrying around a few extra pounds. Her
own recipe doesn't make much difference, for
what will work with one does not have much
effect on another. The relations between Jack
Sprat and his wife exemplify a common human
experience. The question is. must a woman be
always svelte in order to deserve and retain a
hold on things around her? Whichever way
this is answered, it depends on the viewpoint.
Tastes differ, and so we frequently find roly
pofy women getting, along quite as well as are
those who keep down any tendency to avoirdu
pois by eschewing rnany of the things they like,
doing a lot of stunts, and subjecting themselves
to privations and inconveniences of numerous
sorts, Just to keep "their figure," and so hold
onto what they conceive to be the lines of beauty.
Opposed to Mary Garden might be set a num
ber of soprano singers who have achieved a dis
tinction equal to hers, and who also have come
to loom mountainous in physical proportions.
We might also refer to a one-time queen of
Egypt, who attained much prominence in her
day, who never was suspected of denying herself
any of the good things of life, and yet who re
tained not only her girjisk laughter but other
f physical charms to a time well beyond the 30
j mark. Yet history only records one Cleopatra,
fortunately for the world. Mary also excites
some speculation as to who was the married
man she might have linked her life with, had he
been single. Suppose he had fancied another
yet how could he? In the end, t!;e women folks
will read her advice, continue to eat and drink
chocolate, and when "fair, fat and forty" will
look perhaps with envy at the soft, plump shoul
ders of IS, and n.aybe wish they were back
there again.
Eve and the Tree of Knowledge.
No one is paying much attention to the i.;eu
folks these days, but the women ate receiving
more and more advice. It is as if all hope !iad
been given up for Adam, but that the world has
concluded that a great deat could be made of
Eve. Not only from the opposite sex are women
receiving advice, but between themselves they
are discussing and agitating their rights, privi
leges and duties. Nowhere is agreement, one set
of feminists calling, "Come out of the kitchen"
and another placing its reliance on the adapta
tion of science to lighten and make more pleas
ant the old domestic tasks. A woman novelist,
with a canary cage instead of a cradle, occupies
a flat across the hall from her husband and lets
him hire some one to do his cooking, mending
and housekeeping. She says that this is the way
for all wives to live their own lite, and no doubt
is finding sonic believers.
But on the woman's page of a farm magazine
has been set down a list of twenty-five ac
complishments necessary before a young woman
can be said to be educated. There are some mod
ern innovations, such as the implied criticism of
the clinging vine type by the requirement of
self-reliance, but if this test is to be accepted as
a whole, it is as difficult as ever to be a woman.
To be properly educated, according to this stand
ard, a woman must know how
To -.
To cook.
To mend.
To be (rentle.
To value time.
To dress neatly.
To keep a ecret.
To avoid idleness.

To read the very best of book. "
To be a helpmate to her husband.
To take plenty of active exercise.
To keep clear of trashy literature.
To be a" womanly woman under all circumstance!??'
It is claimed that the editor of this magazine
page is herself a woman. We wish we really
knew. Somehow, the suspicion will not down
that some man is trying to get tip an argument.
Spendthrifts No More.
A million dollars a day is the estimate of the
saving that can be accomplished by a reorgan
ization of the executive machinery of the fed
eral government. Such is the figure set by Con
gressman Reavis and Senator Smoot as the ob
ject of their movement for co-ordinating the va
rious bureaus and departments in Washington.
It is heartening to find that Mr. Harding
contemplates calling in a number of able admin
istrators to plan for this reorganization, and it js
to be expected that the congressional committee
will work in harmony with this commission. Ex
clusive of the army and navy, there are 800,000
persons in the government employ. The duties of
some overlap, and simplification of a system
which allows eight different departments to carry
on engineering work, navigation, irrigation and
drainage, twelve in road building and forty-two
in public health work clearly would be a step
toward efficiency as well as economy.
Indications pile up that the coming adminis
tration is to be one in which expenses are pared
to the bone. Mr. Harding's veto of an extravagant
display at the inauguration did not bring dis
appointment to any one but the good people
of Washington who awaited a harvest of tourists
and a few politicians and office seekers eager
for an opportunity to extend the glad hand. The
taxpayers back home are in the saddle now, and
the next four years may be expected to establish
thrift as a public policy.
A Letter That Never Came.
No one who has waited long and in vain .for
a letter from some absent friend will waste any
sympathy on the soldier who returned only the
other day and found his wife married to an
other, his gravestone in the cemetery and his in
surance collected. Leaving home in 1917, he
soon was in active service in France and shortly
after was reported killed in the government
casuality list. The report, it is plain now, was
exaggerated, but the War department even
shipped a body home to fill his grave.
There are husbands who leave their families
for a week or for a year, and who write back
home every day, but this veteran was gone for
four years and never once sent so much as a
postcard to say "Wish you were here" or "Wish
I was there." No doubt he was very busy at
times, but it must have occurred to him now
and then that he had a wife back in Georgia who
hoped and wondered over his fate. Merely is a
precaution he might have dropped a few lines,
even if for no other motive than to maintain bis
attachments. 1
Arrived now at the port of New York, his dis
trust of the postal service still persists, .but he
sends a ten-word message saying that he is on
his way home. Perhaps he will read the news
papers and find that he has no home, but only a
nicely carved grave monument, but whatever he
does, he can not repair the wrong that his
thoughtlessness and neglect have done his wife.
His grief and surprise- at finding his wife with
another husband can never , equal hers at dis
covering that lie is still alive. Whether she loves
him or whether her love has gone, the pain is
equally great and the wrong done by his neglect
irreparable. i
Friends have bought the cabinet chair occu
pied by Secretary of the Navy Daniels
and presented it to him. Such are the ad
vantages of peaceful America; quite different
from some of those European countries where re
tiring officeholders had to leave their thrones
behind them.
The Argentine senator who has been arrested
for sedition after advocating international so
cialism could get the same amount of publicity
by urging a monarchy, equally impossible, and
perhaps get away with it.
What a relief the advent of Mr. Harding
must be to these democratic papers who chafed
for so long at having to "stand by thepresident."

And an icy wind was blowing
When these same fair froshes tripped along the

THE THOrSAXD AXD ONE AFTERNOONS.
XV.
The house which George Barrlngton Wild
had chosen for his first significant exploit stood
in a narrow street running off the Drive. The
porch was of good size and dressed with an
exuberant growth of vines, so that the ascent
of it was nigh as simple a matter as climbing a
ladder. No street light was nearer than fifty
yards, and the thoroughfare was comparatively
free of pedestrians. The housebreaker merged
with the shadows of an occupied residence across
the street, and waited. At eight o'clock, he
considered, dinner would be at its height, md
ho noted with satisfaction the arrival of several
motor cars, the which indicated a dinner party.
These cars, when the gneats stepped out, were
driven away, hut the last one, an electric, from
which a. woman descended, was left standing
uerore the house. A light burned in the upper,
room giving on the porch, and it wns towards
this apartment, a few minutes after eight, that
Mr. Wild made his way through the vines, as
agilely and much more quietly than a cat. At
this point I may note that the enthusiasm of tiie
elder Wild for the picturesque scoundrels of the
eighteenth century was shared by his son, who
had pored delightfully over the books narrating
their exploits. His special hero was Jack Shep
pard, whose skill in breaking out of prisons set
his imagination aglow. Like the immortal Jack
he was slender and small of bone, and he es
teemed himself to be as lithe and eat-like; and
like Kheppard, too, he felicitated himself that
though he was an undutiful son ho had never
damned his mother's eyes.
When the housebreaker achieved the roof of
the porch he found that the window, like most,
was unlatched, and raising the sash he drew the
draperies aside and glanced within. The bed
chamber was unoccupied. On the bed were sun
dry feminine wraps and bonnets and purses, and
through the partly open door came from below
stairs the chatter and laughter of the guests.
Without further reconnaissance Mr. Wild slipped
into the room and closed the window after him.
His next thought was of trie door, and he crossed
to close this, but before he could place a hand
on the knob the door was thrust open, and he
had Just time to step behind it when a woman
carrying a candle came hurriedly In. Peeping
around, Mr. Wild observed the lady at the mir
ror of a dressing table between the windows, ond
the candle raised high in hand. He saw his own
reflection in the glass, and the lady saw it at the
same instant. She gave a little cry and turned,
dropping the candle.

SONG FOR ITALICS.
Sing a reckless song just of traveling along,
Carefree of whence or whither:
While the merry chimes ring of happy-go-lucky

Passing of the J uvenile Court
(From The Survey for February.)
The Juvenile court is an anomaly.
That the correction of juvenile delin
quents was ever entrusted to a court
nt all can bo accounted for only
through the fact that the need of
more intelligent treatment of chil
dren was brought to the attention of
the public largely through the in
congruous and disproportionate pun
ishments frequently meted out to
children under the law us It stood n
quarter of a century ago. The fact
that the laws were often ridiculous
in their application to youthful of
fenders was keenly felt by Jurists,
with tho result that definite effort
to remodel them wns undertaken by
lawyers who naturally, though il
loglcallv, turned to the courts for re
lief. Juvenile judges arc fai.r coming to
the conclusion that the dual duties
of adjudicating delinquency and
pel-vising the delinquent are con
flicting, far exceeding any proper
power of a court, even under , its
much vaunted "chancery Jurisdic
tion as perens patriae." Duties of
investigation, complaint, obtaining
evidence, trial, adjudication, sen
tence, supervision, punishment and
probation, are too inconsistent with
( eacn ouier 10 ne pmccu 111 tiny urn
j agency. Very few children are even
complained ag linst until. In the
'opinion of the court or its officers,
i .sentence Is necessary. Thus n child
is prejudiced before Indictment and
sentenced before trial, a condition
repugnant to every idea of justice.
Even now courts attempt to place
the duties of investigation and pro
bation In different oltietrs, so that
the bias of the investigator will not
influence the probation officer; but
no wny has been found to remove
(his prejudice from the mind of the
juvenile Judge.
Moreover. 'vtho correction and ref
ormation of Incorrigible children Is
an enducational function not a ju
dical one. It Is just as much the
province of education to teach a
child good manners as it is to teach
him grammar or arithmetic. A
court is a tribunal for the judicial
determination of facts at Issue. One,
is administrative; the other, judicial.1
It would take more than human in
genuity to harmonize them in one
institution. No court should he
burdened by administrative duties.
J'hese should be assumed by other
agencies. In 111 4, Prof. Thomas J).
Eliot advocated the consolidation of
the juvenile court with a "family"
or domestic relations ' court. Per
sonally, I believe that the proper
institution to supervise the correc
tion and reformation of children Is
the school.
The criticism of Prof. Eliot's con
tention is that administrative pow
ers in a family court are just as
harmful as they are in a juvenile
court. Nevertheless, there is a de
cided tendency" either to expand Juv
enile courts into domestic relations
courts or for the domestic relations
courts to absorb the juvenile courts.
This is partly because juvenile judges
have found that they need wider
jurisdiction in order to make their
courts effective. Parents should
often be disciplined; frequently the
child is more sinned against than
sinning, and in order to prevent
further delinquency, it is necessary
to punish adults responsible for it.
Disease, poverty, vice, crime, un
propitious neighborhood and home
conditions, and a thousand and one
other things enter as factors of de
linquency. It is hut human that judges should
aspire to gain control over all these
factors in order to reform their
wards. Consequently the juvenile
courts tend to aeon ire riowers out of
all proportion to their dignity, jeop
ardizing eVery ideal of individual
and social justice. The more sincere
the Judge, the more likely he is to
reach for more authority.
Lawyers dislike the multiplication
of courts, and opposition to new ones
i.i developing everynhero among
them. Tho tendency of the bar is
to consolidate courts ii order to
avoid vexing questions of Jurisdic
tion and unnecessary expense of
litigation. As a matter of fact, if
the administrative duties of domes
tit: relations courts and Juvenile
courts were placed in official
bureaus, properly officered and
equipped, there would be no need of
this duplication. The purely judicial
function of determining whether or
not a child is delinquent could Just
as well be discharged by the courts
formerly in existence ns they are
now by the Juvenile or family courts.
If the child should be found to be
delinquent, he should bo remanded
to the proper authorities for treat
ment. In this way, the courts would
bo left to their legitimate field, and
the very necessary correctional work
would be undertaken by those who
by experience anil training would be
in a position to do it well. As It is.
so far us T know, not a single court
Is doing this work well, and In my
opinion, no court constituted as juv
enile courts are constituted, can do
it well.
It Is therefore inevitable that the
administrative work of the juvpnile
i court will bo transferred to other
more adequate agencies, and there
then being no further need of a sep
arate court, the juvenile court will
die a natural dath. But it will not
l have lived In vain. Through it. the
public has becom educated to the
need of scientific treatment of chil
dren guilly of antl-soclal conduct,
and the very deficiencies of the court
have pointed th way to a more In
telligent and efficient system.

T paHolened my Olfvpr I
And cleaned my fountain pan j
The other day because T felt j
'Twaa almost eprtnK again;
J fMt an embryo rhyniflet atlr
Wlfhtn my sun-rvarmed eoul
Ami then the wind yeered to the north
And the muau eropt back in his hole. j
I saw a dRndftlion sprout
In a punnv KhHte'-pfi nnfk;
'"Tis sprlns, 'tis spring," I did enthuse,
My writing tmil took
And grabbed my pin to Immortalize
This small persistent h'To;
Then down blew a Kale from out the north
And my rhymes congealed at aero. j
T sw a bee rrawl from a rraek j
To give his musty wings an airtni; t
One dsy upon my sun-warmed roof:
And thought spring bereward must be i
faring; j
And so the muse his cramped wings ,
spread i
And poised his soul fur rhythmic flight f
Tiut down swept a blizzard from the north
And vanquished muse and bee that night.
Thn tad-pole in his sheltered pool
Has four sini'll lumps inside his skin;
When these four lumps are changed to
legs
The glad spring ehorus will begin;
The iee and snow will disappear
I'oineldont with taddy's tall;
Then will the poet gush torth rhymes
And birdies sing o'er hill and dale.
