FENCING METHOD DEMONSTRATED BY MR. LEONARDO TERRONE Will Hold Classes Here “I expect shortly to announce, supported by proofs, that I have succeeded in taking the game fencing away from a deteriorated and jerky exercise and carrying it, scien- tifically developed, to stand side by side with the best forms of physical culture,” writes Mr. Leonardo Terrone, director of the Fencers’ Club, of Philadelphia, to the News, in connection with his demonstration of fencing, given with assistants in the Gymnasium, last Thursday afternoon. Mr. Terrone came to America to experi- ment on a new method of fencing adapted | see the world look small beneath us. to modern life. Giving fencing instruction at the University of Pennsylvania, he started his experiments on the basis of his own duelling experiences in Italy. “During these duels I noted that personal mag- netism, increased by good mechanical habits of the body, greatly helped, but that the point of view, the state of mind, the psy- chological attitude of the fencer, counted very much,” he sajd. “I experimented for seventeen years, and I think I finally reached the top.” Two prospective members of the Univer- sity of Pennsylvania Fencing team, who accompanied Mr, Terrone, gave the first exhibition with the foil, while he explained points from time to time. Then Mr. Ter- rone fenced a bout with the saber, with Mr. Algernon Clapp, president of the Fencers’ Club, who was a member of the Olympic Fencing team this summer, the former pointing out salient features of the game. The Gymnasium Department has ar- ranged for Mr. Terrone to give classes in fencing, on Thursdays. The first class started last night. The charge is $10 for twenty lessons.

Vol. VII, No. 11, December 15, 1920 Ime THE CRITICISM MUST BE PAID FOR, SAYS MR. ELMORE IN CHAPEL Believes Criticism Kills Genius “The man who indulges in cheap criticism always pays for it,” said Mr. Carl Elmore, of Englewood, N. J., in chapel, last Sunday evening. “The most bitter solitude is to find oneself alone in the midst of a crowd, hemmed around by barriers of attitude. This is one of the experiences,” said Mr. Elmore, “which the person who habitually indulges in condemnation is bound to know.” “When we criticize others,” Mr. Elmore explained, “we are indulging our desire to We often take a superior attitude in our en- deavor to vindicate ourselves,” he con- tinued. “The man who fears a habit always rushes to denounce it publicly.” Creative genius dies within the man who criticizes too much. Mr. Elmore, pointing out Carlyle’s last years, showed him bereft of his genius by his continued use of the invective.
