A SUMMER-TIME THOUGHT
PRAIHFj was nbiindnntl forth e-nlng in
New Yerk last ttcek for a nvtv kjuil of
summer show. In -jj lte of het weather, u
resuscitation cf Uieh.ml Itilnsle Klierldin's
"The Itlvnls." piesented by the Pinters'
Club, founded bt IMttln Heeth, was gener
ously patronized.
A new generation was enteitalned b one
of the most ninusln: pluji ever written.
Old-timers revived plensant mi'iiierles. A
diverting time was had by nil and regrets
were expressed that the spee'ial conditions
under which tie ali-st.ir production was
given prevented it from iumi!u' for several
weeks mere.
Upen one significant point considerable
Inquiry was raised. Is it necessary, It was
asked, for all summer shows te be girl
shows, jnzz shows, spectacles and tinseled
entertainments? Granted that high tragedy
is Indigestible during the season of tropic
temperatures, is net a Inusli u refreshment
and n tonic whether inspired by Slieildau or
painfully devised by the overworked manu
factories of tlie se-cnlled revues?
There Is decidedly mere fun and net
Mtu-brew fun, either In nil intelligent
performance of "The Itlvnls" than in tlie
average Klegfcldlnn offering.
" Ada Lewis, for example, would be much
mere amusing ns the real Mrs. Mnlaprep
, than ns the copy of thnt character in "Very
Qped EdcTle," one of the most creditable of
", musical comedies of several seasons past.
Punmnkers en the stage are forever p'ny

Ma new standardized simulations of remlc

READY FOR ECONOMIES
Mil. PINCIIOT'S committee or beard of
inquiry Is exrected te hnvc the as
sistance of all the departments In Ilnrris
buig from which It seeks information.
The puipe'c of the inquiry, ns Mr.
sPinchet lln clear! pointed out. Is net te
find evidence te convict nu.v one. It Is
purely te assemble mi eh infoimntlen ns will
enable lilm te recommend u rounder finan
cial pellej for the Commonwealth.
It 'Is generally admitted thnt this policy
In the past bus net been sound. Jhit
whether it wan admitted or net, tlie unfor
tunate position in which the Stnte finds
Itself today is sufficient proof that there
have beciijgrave mistakes.
PeiiiiHjlrnnln ii rich enough te provide
nil the money that is nccdci te carry en
its government, te provide ample funds for
tlie malutenanre of the schools and te build
n s.vstem of splendid hlghtvnjs without bur
densome taxes.
A business like study of tlie methods thnt
hnvc been used, the method of raising
money ns well ns the s.vstem of spending it,
ought te point the way te u leuudcr
method.
Mr. Plneliet is wise te call te his a-Ist-iiiin'
a group of icpresenfitivu men and
women commissioned te nMeitnlu the facts
and te reiemmend reforms. Tlie informa
tion will be at bis disposal long enough be
fore he tnkes oilier ills elect Ien is morally
certain for him te digest II thoroughly nnd
te frame his own conclusions about what is
best te be done. Se w hen he makes his
recommendations te the Generd A-srflibly in
January they will be (lie tesiilt of careful
thought and net the piedrnt merely of nn
amiable impulse.
If he should go se far as te urje n reor
ganization of the depnitiniuts in Ilnrris
burg, tlie consolidation of buie.ius and the
abolition of commissien1-, lie will be doing
en'j what the situation demands. The
Woodward Commission, apt elnted by Gov Gov
ereor Sprout, hns been making an inquiry
into tlie need of reorganization nnd it hns
gathered considerable data. As Senater
Woodward has accepted a place en Mr.
Pinchot's committee, this information will
be nvnilable te the ether members.
There 1 no doubt that the giner.il senti
ment of the Stnte is in favor of such a
wholesale icergnnlz.it inn in Ilnrrisburg as
Governer Lowndes made In Illinois n few
.tears age. n reorganization thnt resulted In
nbilisliing scores of dip'irntlng and need
less commissions and bureaus, nnd in great
economies in the cost of government. Tlie
only "crieus objection will come from job-he'-Vrs
nnd their fi lends, but thev dare net
profess in public what they prnctlee in pri
nte. for tiie nssumntien thnt government
exists for the profit of the jobholders is net
one which can rreiitably be talked nbeut
openly by Its adhc rents.

If he didn't yield at once the man with tlie

It is n well-deserved eulogy descriptive
of the work of the National Farm Scheel
In Hacks County, whose twenty-fifth anni
versary wns celebrated e few days age.
Dr. Krauskopf is the founder of the
school.
Se great has been Its rucccs ns n prac
tical "back-to-thc-sell" movement for
Jewish boys thnt It hns commanded national
nitentien.
Frem a very modest beginning in the
MiburbH of Doylestown the school has grown
until it Includes five farms, embracing, all
told. COO ncrcs.
The farms urc worked by the students of,
the school.- '
TN ADDITION te n general education'
- n long liberal lines, the students are trained
in husbandry, dnlrjing nnd collateral lines
of fnrm wertr.
Tlie fnrnis nre self-supporting.
Net long nge one of them reported a
surplus of $3000.
In one year $e,C00 worth of produce wns
sold.
i The crop of Inst year showed figures thnt
Vire illuinlnnting.
On 130 ncrcs there were produced 2t0
tens of hny.
. When the wheat from forty-six ncres en
the Scheel Fnrm wns threshed it sacked
up 040 bushels.
Fer the dairy nnd stock barns 341 tens
of silage were produced en eighty-one ncres
of lnnd. .
In ndditlen, 7112 bundles of corn fodder
and 3130 bushels of com were grown.
Out el the weed lets enough weed wns
tnken te supply the institution with fuel
of thnt sort.
EDWIN K. SCHFLTZ, of Boyertown, is
imiiiue ns n philanthropist.
Fer thirty years, or since it was founded,
he has been treasurer of the itenrd of Trus
tees of Pcrkieinen Scheel, nt FeniiRburg.
His fnmlly for generations, for it Is one
of the eldest In tlie I'ennsjivanla German
section of Lewer Ilerks nnd Upper Mont

Schwenkfeider Church.
Pcrkiemeti Scnoel wns established by the
Sciiwenkfelders, nnd nltlieugli undenomina

uuspices ever since.
Edwin K. Scliuitz has been the largest
single contributor te the Institution. Yet
he hns never been asked te give a cent.
All of his gifts hnvc been voluntary.
WHEN the new main building wns in
course of erection nt n cost of ever

Without solicitation Mr. Schultz under

The World Wnr, te. which Perkiemcn
contributed liberally of her sons, left the
school with n deficit. Under its system It
offers self-help nnd certain advantages te
premising nnd deserving boys. This lnrgely
inci eases Its financial burden.
Mr. Schultz, unsolicited, stnrtcd n sub

deficit, in ndditlen te his ether benefactions.
Dr. Krauskopf, nt n testimonial dinner te

His sterv of sclf-sucrificc recalled that of

Each Institution has wen a triumph.
The Nntiennl Farm Scheel graduates have

THERE nre 20,000 pairs of shoes resoled
and heeled in Philadelphia every day.
This work is carried en, according te
stntlstics prepared hy a leather manufac
turer, in 2300 repnir shops.
Tills menns thnt 0,000,000 pairs of shoes
arc mended in Philadelphia every year.
It is only one phase of reclamation that
Is growing by lenps in this country.
The most remarkable results of this nre
shown in the Penns.vlvaniu Railroad's fig
ures of the income from the sale of office
wnste paper.
The company realized about $1200 a week
from this source Inst jenr.
It Is but n dinp in the bucket compared
te the amount of wnstnge going en daily In
Philadelphia in the processes of erdlnury
life.
The greatest waste is in feed.
Tens of kitchen nnd tnble scraps nre dally
thrown away that could be utilized ngnin for
human consumption.
It is much less new thnn it wns prier
te tlie World Wnr. nnd tlie operations of
the Feed Administration.
The curtailment und restrictions of that
period taught wasteful Americans a lessen
in economy.
THE "Function Sheps" thnt flourished
south of Market street fifteen nnd
twenty j cars nge have dlsnppearcd.
They were little cubby holes where the
peer could buy meat scraps, bread, cooked
cold vegetnbles. nnd often fruit with the de
cayed parts cut out thnt hnd been discarded
by Deck street ineichunts.
The incut and ether feeds were the left
overs from hotel tnb!es.
Today tlie secend-hnnd shoe trade of
Philadelphia is mniutnincd entirely by the
repair of salvaged footwear, partly worn
shoes.
They are cobbled und polished up and
realize a fine profit.
The immense sums, aggregating millions
of dollars, that were saved hy the French,
American and British armies by reclaiming
ncceutermenln, shoes nnd uniforms was in
reality inspiied by tlie success of the scc-end-hnnd

NOW MY IDEA. IS THIS!
Daily Talks With Thinking Philadclpluans en Subjects They
Knew Best '
GIUSEPPE DONATO
On the Essence of American Sculpture
SCULPTURE, like any of the ether line
nrts. must develop n distinct nntiennl
individuality, if it is te take a slgnlficnnt
position In the history of nrt, says Giuseppe
Donnte, of tlis city, one of the leading
American sculptors.
"Like evcrj thing else In these'lincs." snld
Mr. Donnte. "the public Is the final nrblter.
nnd that public should interest itself mere
in the real expression of sculpture nnd In its
aitistic treatment, in order better te educate
itself In the interpretntlen of the emotions
nnd of the life of today. On the ether hand,
our sculptors should de the same thing in
the matter of Interpretntlen, nnd net be
content te i epreduce nnd fill Amcrcnn beuses
with antique copies or relics of tlie Greco Grece Greco
Reman or Pempeinn periods.
"We today cannot live the life of the
nncicnt Greeks or of the Remnns. It is true
that there have been many copies made,
because in the past they hnve found n liberal
mnrket in tills country. Hut we hnve our
own lives te live, and dnless this life is
reproduced in our fine arts there will be no
American nrt for the future. Art is truly
universal, but te the universal expression
of It must he added the Individual nnd the
nationalistic note.
Outlook Geed In America
"The people of the United Stntes nre
tnklng j early n keener and mere critically
appreciative Interest In sculpture, nnd many
of tlie younger generation of sculptors nre
showing undoubted talent. It hns net yet
reached what might be called a climax,
because the people as a whole have net jet
had sufficient opportunity te educate them
selves up te the point of appreciating sculp
ture ns a part of nrt, te the degree, for
instance, with which they npprecinte nnd
understand painting nnd decoration. .-And
this education is net n technical one, but Is
ulinply n closer communion with nnd nn
understanding of the beauties of nnture nnd
the linrmonieus impressions which nre given
by it. Almest nil thnt tlie technically
educated observer can say that the non nen
techniclan ennnet is whether or net one
figure is modeled better than another, nn
appreciation of the modeling of surfaces and
exhibit some knowledge of form.
"Therefore, I de net see tlie necessity for
the public te be technically educated even if
this wcre possible, In order te npprecinte the
beauty of fine sculpture. In viewing the
glories of the pediment of tlie Parthenen or
the figures of Loienze nnd GIulliiiie de'
Medici, by Michael Angele, with the nsso nsse
elated figures of night nud day und dawn
nnd crcpusce, technique sinks into utter
oblivion in the majesty nnd beauty of the
works, and the mine mny be snld of every
grent nrt work in whatever medium. A
sculptor like Michael Angele put the chnr
actcrlstlc elements of a mini's whole life
into n single pose.
"As n mntter of fact, the public is nt ail
times Impressed by the message which n
figure or u group conveys. A technical
knowledge Is valuable te the student, but Is
net necessary te public appreciation.
Is Less Easily Understood
"At the same time, it Is undeniable that
sculpture is less easily understood than
many of the ether fine arts. In painting,
for example, the use of colors ehniins tlie
ej-cs nnd plcnsea the senses, as munle often
hns the same effect npcm tlie ear, u-gardless
of the ideas expressed by tlie creator of (lie
xverk. But sculpture Is plain form, nnd
unless the expression of the i.li,i iu mi
niated by something behind it, it becomes
merely nn Imltntlnn of form nnd therefore
docs net nttrnct either tlie mind or tlie eve
"But grent pieces of sculpture blive far far
mere than mere form, and they have the
puwt'r cu iimvc me in i its (u men pro
foundly. Tnke, for example, tlie care of
the man who was se evertvi ought Ii'- thn

manner as .te mnke them visible te the
spiritual eye of the beholder. When tills is
done tlie mission of sculpture in its highest
form is achieved.
Net Photographic Reproduction
"Herein lies the difference between work werk
mnnslilp and genius. The great sculptors
In masterpieces, such as I hnvc1 mentioned,
de net concern themselves se much with a
photographic reproduction ns they de with
a truthful interpretntlen or translation of
these characteristics which they want te
nccentuntc.
"Freedom of expression Is needed In order
te accomplish this,, nnd when this is limltcil
te the mechanical, then the finer clement of
UV) nrt, 'Kxncrlficed for the lower one. The
i in? , , ' ,c,ery of Snmethrace Is perhnps
the highest expression of sculpture of nil
time ; but in. seeing it one loses sight of the
nicehan cs nnd feels only the impelling feiee
of the thought of the nrtlst, unknown though
he be te this dny.
The Collector or Sculpture
"The grent demand among the buvcrs of
sculpture is still for relics or pieces from
elder clnys. This is due in two things : the
lure of n name or the desire jen the purt et
the collector te hnve n piece by a certain
aculpter te complete his collection. It Is
net fnir te condemn the collector for this
point of view, but the reprobation should
go te the dealer who takes advantage of the
confidence of his client te exploit him.
llicrc is in this country n grenter
tendency toward collecting, and, even better,
there is mere of n demand every year en
tliejinrt of the public for sculptured decora
tion en buildings. Evolution and educa
tion nre bringing this about and the people
nre evidently becoming tired of seeing un un
ernnniented buildings and drawing oompnrl eompnrl oempnrl
sons between these and some of the decorated
buildings which they have seen hcie nnd
nbrend. Tills education must be both bv tlie
architects and the artists themselves. '
Ne better exnmple of this enn be cited
thnn tlie Parthenen of the Greeks, tlie first
exposition of sculpture nnd architecture
combined. M hen this grent masterpiece Is
seen, ene is net impressed by the form
shown, but by tlie spirituality expressed r,y
the figures in the pediment, or the reliefs
along the fiieze, nil in complete harmony
with the nrcli tecturc itself, which is spir
itual, nnd adding soul te the architectural
feature. In ether words, the architect mnkes
the skeleton and the sculptor adds beauty
