L0WIUE SO.MIi time age in my mall I received two fnt missives from n man named Hareld C. Washburn, who (dgncu himself en netepiiper, which informed me that be was the assistant president of Antlech College, Yellow Springs, O. 1 was held by the nnme of the college nnd of the town and of the State; that Is, by Ihe combination. And I said te myscll: "Could anything he mere typical of America !' Heine perfectly humdrum, riinnlng-ln-a clicitlur-iut person. I bail, of course, never liennl of Antlech College, although te judge bv the well-founded entliuslnsm of it ns slsiant ph'sident Ii seems likely te prove a very large stone dropped into no mean-sized n puddle. It Is the first germ en exhibition nf what piiiperts te be a new idea of col lege education. I read it. and nil flint Washburn and Ida Taibeli and its president, Arthur L'. Mor gan, hail te say about It in printed fen til. nnd then 1 ie.ul II nleud pint of the Idea, that is, te n j.ieiip of women who were lunching wiili me and who were beguiled by the idea into being serious and even nil -miring for a moment; nnd lastly, 1 handed nil the data ever Ie n college boy and girl le see hew they felt nNiut it. T TIIPN" gave myself a complete holiday from the Antlech idea, or thought thnt I Iiml. Hut te my dismay the "young p-r-sens" nvalniiched down upon me in two hones vWlli their vrllet en the Antlech idea and all its aims and premised results. They would linve none of it! Indeed, they weie vituperailvclv scathing concerning its alius line purposes. I thought that thev were ciilicizing It from a mistaken point of view of the werid as it is, nnd of education ns it could be, and of life us it turns out te be. Hut they thought 1 vvas mistaken about the xverld as it ought te be, and about education n it should be, and about life as they mean it te turn out. I find that ilifferrtue generally nowadays in my cenvci-e with the young of ye.trs. They are very insistent upon xvhfit ought te b' and very seernful of what has been or even of what is. What was all wrong with the Antiecli idea te their sciirnfiii belief was. first, that it aimed te tni n out students who were sue icssful ,,si te thcr earning nnd their btisi-ni"-s powers. The nvvful question of. "What shall I he in order te earn n living?" they pointed out. was net soft-pedaled inti the hazy distance of a senior year nt Antioch, but was an ever-present debate In ihe mind of tne Antiecli College boy or girl, since half of everything one was' oc ec . upied with dining the college years liad te de with a possible business career and was actually maikcel and graded in (tuns ef dollars and e cuts. They showed a Feit of fury ever th" studies or oceup'itiens involved by (he ether half of the college year because liicy were ili-eriDed in the various theses en Antierh College as ctiltuinl. Their objection was flint the quotation inailts were emitted; in ether words, ihey were eutiaged flint any one could take "cultural opportunities" without n laugh nt the preposterous smug ness of the program. And their liunl anathema was directed toward any scheme whereby n boy or girl at the last bi entiling place 'in life should be expected te support their bodies anil piy for the open sesame te the world's mind bv what they earned Juring the college terms'. HAVING de'ivcrccl their diaslic judg ment of the Antioch Idea, these ex ticmcl) young and net unpromising Daniels ib-putted leaving me calm and uureuted, but thoughtful. One of them wus n graduate of the Pnivcislty of California, and a post pest giadtiute, or nearly se. nf Columbia. The, girl was a Vas-ar graduate, who hud also worked lit a Western university and is bound for u special course in languages at the Sorbonne. There is nothing undeuiu eriltic about either of Ihein . both. I be'i"vi', lentiinplate lilinueiiig themselves liueugh life. Indeed, the man. in order t i get l i Kurepe. is weiking his wuy uciess the. ece-in a- steward this autumn. What fhcj are both, from quite dulcrent sources of in Hueiice, thoroughly imhueil with Is the hate fulness of what they mil "i-eiiiiuerclallzed education." A- they i.t.qied thteugh the doe iimeutH lelatlng le Antioch College they felt sure that it wus a men eimr.v idea, with -in cess in letters a mile high cemimercinllzecj education. The boy's purling shot us they let i me was: "Th" world ewes all it has te tliu men it I ns called failures! Who vants le be thiewu only with successful students!'' NOW what Is impeititut In all this sound anil fury is net whether these recent college graduates are light In the long run, or mistaken in their vehemence The thing that Is important te Antioch and te nil of us who have still u finger In t.n- pie of the world is thut this is what iluy think, net all of them, but most of them who can be said te think, l'er the thoughts of these two as expressed ever An.ieeh aie very mud the Fame thoughts that I I.uve llsleneil le fietu their contcnipeiniles lencerning art, the drama, room decoration, religion, soci ology, politics mid the tarllt.

Daily Talks l ith Thinking Philailelphians en Subjects They Knew Beat HENRI SCOTT On the American Singer's Future THK future of the Ameiican singer is a bright one. If the signs of the present menu anything, says Henri Scott, basso, nnd this new applies le all the forms of the vocal art. "Within Ihe lasr ten or twelve years," said Mr. Siett, "'there has been u decided reaction in favor of the American singer en the part of the public, ami this feeling is constantly growing. As a result the Auieri- an vocalists are new getting n fur better leceptien than they feruiftlv did. although I might sav that this feeling extends te all branches of the art. "Before that time everything in the miMc line had le be feieign le 'get !i( ress' with our own people; if it hud the hallmaik of Lurepe it did net matter materially what the met it of the performance was the name was Mifhi iciit. New nil this j different, and the American public is beginning te differentiate slrengly between u foreign name and real hum it. Metier Singers and Hitter Public 'This Is due le two things; a higher degree of musical educutien en the part of the public iiml a corresponding increase in the merit of the American singers. It is really astonishing hew the knowledge and the In terest In music have grown in this country In the last two decades. We have practically reached the point where It is net wise for u -inger of reputation fe put xvhat we call a Might' number en the rccltul programs nf even i lie smaller towns. And this is net uiTci tatien ; it is because the people of these leiiiiiHimlies linve come te knew and like the better IllUSic. A short time nge 1 gave a recital In eiu- "f ihe larger cities of the Middle West; anil while the program was under discu-sien the m.itiager sent me a program which had been uiven there' by two singers of nntienul loputiiiieti net long previously nnd uigid me net te put such light numbers en mv own program The people of the city, he said, hud get the impression that the rceliulisti were 'singing down' te them from the light ness of selections, and It had created a bad impic'ssieu, "The people of the Hnstern States who de net get West would be ufteni-hed by the musical development of that section. Cincinnati is no longer considered West, but the finest nnd most impressive musical fes tival in the country Is given in that city. Americans In Opera "The outlook for the American singers in the gieat eperu companies is net only bright, but thev innv he said te have arrived. In the greatest opera company in this country there nie new us many singers of Ameriiiiii as there mi. of foreign birth, mid this in spite of the fact that the opera is a national Institution in the F.urepenn countries, while it cannot he said te have attained that slants here as ver "I belli i e thnt the 'star' system in opera is passing, as it should. Mr. Oatti, of lh. Metropolitan, has suld thnt his ceiupanv was through with this system forever, anil I believe that the Ainerlcun public vvill let this work out in spite of the national char ncterlstic of wuntiug always le hear the most famous. Willi the death of Cuiiise the last of the transcendent stars passed, and vet there linsjiccu no diminution of interest in epeiu. Prem mv own personal knowledge of the fees iccehcd by opera singers in th biggest companies, I knew that in this re spect the Amerlrun slngi'r Is holding his own. "As te dramatic ability in the opera, this depends upon the Individual prebablv le a greater extent than the singing. Of course' n grent voice Is n heaveiwent gift, but much can he dene vocally with cineful train ing nnd a very acceptable slnge-r can be made of a I'niily geed voice by geed leaching "Hut (he dramatic Instinct seems te hej inborn te a great extent. Of course, train ing can de much, but it can never make a tine actor out of n person who bus net the instinct for the work. This naturally up. pile; te all persons, whether American or foreign-bem. Seme qf the American nspi rnnts for the opera acquire th,. dramatic end easily, and ethers. like miinv of tin. t,... cigncrs, never get it te any extent. In Hecltul anil Oratorio "Hut it is in concert work and In the lftt 'il,'."'0 American singer Is hu premi? JfoKthet the reason nf nninini-a in ... i perTant one. All oratorio work and most f t t 1922 A SUFFERER CV S . v v of the concert weik are new In Lngllsh, nnd very few of the foreign singers ever acquire sulliclent (eminand of the language le make them formidable llvnls In these great fields. "It Is true that some of the most distin guished of the opera singers occasionally give recitals, but there' are net many of' these because of the linguistic limitations. Then, tee, the opera Is the national form of musical expression (,f most of the foreign-born sing eis, and they de net find llm atmosphere of ilu' oratorio or the recital congenial. "The Pacific Const has become verv dis criminating musically. I lettirned recently from participation in the great open-air presentation of opera in Les Angeles, nnd it was leccived with the utmost enthusiasm by an immense crowd of people. It was nn ecellent performance aitisticaily and th. people of that city have a marvelous gift of nature in the way of the acoustics of the open-air auditorium, which is perhaps (lie finest in (he -world. Operu lu Kngllsh "I tl ink that there are great possibilities In the tutuic for opera in F.nglish, ,ut from vvhnt I have observed the American people de net seem te be inclined te give it the practical support which It deserves te re ceive. It is an admitted fact that opera can never lie presented ut theatre prices; the cost of giving It is tee greut. Hut the point is that the persons who ought te go le hear it will net pay the necessary prices for opera In Liiglish, although they will pnv willingly enough for opera which the great mnjerlt'v of them cannot understand. "There Is n plan new en feet In the We-r and Southwest whidi seems te me te ofTer yery exceptional opportunities.
