But when Of these, more vote for Norman Thomas than for Hoover and Roosevelt together. Naturally, very few of these undergraduate votes will be cast in the Presidential elections on November 8th, since the majority of the college are _ under twenty-one years of age; and also because many students are at too great a distance from their homes to be able to go home to vote. How- ever, it is significant that. of the twenty-six undergraduates who do intend to. vote on November 8th, sixteen of them will vote for Hoover, six for Roosevelt, and four for Thomas. Opinion is generally against a “protest vote,’ tion that these elections will have any real influence on the course of our na- tional welfare. The other vote which stands out almost as decisively as Re- publican predominance is that on the ever-present issue of Prohibition; one hundred and thirty-two votes were cast for repeal and only fourteen for enforcement of the Eighteenth Amendment. In counting the votes wayne hope that we have done justicé to the con- victions of those people who, unable to answer a question by yes or no, wrote political essays on their ballots for our edification. Some of them were amusing, if hard to decipher, especially in the case of the student who, instead of checking the party to which she “normally lent her sup- . port,”’ stated that she had never “leant her support to anyone;” and another who said she was voting for Hoover, although she would much rather have ‘Thomas. for President. We.were puz- zled by one undergraduate who.’ put Bryn Mawr, Pa., for her class, and even more so by one who claimed to belong to the Class of 2934. The News, nevertheless, feels that the results of-this straw vote are rep- resentative of the feeling of the great- er part of the college, and feels justi- fied in putting Bryn Mawr on record ’ as backing President Hoover, the Re- publican Party, and the repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment. American Universities Republican and Wet The Presidential poll recently con- ducted by the Daily Princetonian re- veals the extraordinary strength of the Republican party among forty- seven-_representative American col- leges and universities in thirty-one States. President Hoover led in thirty-one universities, gaining.a margin of more thin 11,000 votes over Governor Roosevelt. 29,289 ballots of the total vote of 58,680 supported President Hoover, while Governor Roosevelt was given 18,212 votes; Norman Thomas, 1470 votes, and William Z. Foster, 715 votes. _ In the East President Hoover was supported by twenty colleges; in the South Governor Roosevelt carried the vote of eleven colleges, while Hoover gained the majority again in nine of the Mid-Western colleges and in the . Far West. While President Hoover led in thirty-one —_universities,. -: Roosevelt swept eleven universities. Five uni- versities, including New York Uni- versity, Columbia, and the Massachu- setts Institute of Technology were strong for Mr. Thomas. , _, (Continued on Page Five) ’ and against the supposi- Dr. Swindler to Edit Archaeology Journal (Reprint From New York Sun) Prof. Mary Swindler, who holds the chair of Greek sculpture and arch- aeology at Bryn Mawr College, has recently been made the first woman to edit the American Journal of Arch- aeology. This is a signal honor, for the magazine ranks first of all the archaeological publications in the country, since it is the organ of the American Institute of Archaeology. _ Dr. Swindler has been outstanding in her profession for years. She has made seven trips to Europe and on five of them studied the tomb. paint- ings of ancient Egypt, the first Amer- ican woman ever to undertake this ambitious work. She has but recent- ly published a book on “A History of Painting” and it is being used by the graduate schools of Yale and Har- vard. “It seems to me,” said Dr. Swin- dler, “that archaeology is one of the best fields open to women today. It is extremely interesting and gratify- ing; it presents wide fields for. fur- ther research. And perhaps, best of all, men welcome and recognize the | ‘authority of women in archaeology, especially jinj the field of classical Greek art. “T think the reason is that women are peculiarly fitted for this kind of work. They do not seem particularly fitted for the actual superintendence of excavation work, but when it comes to drawing, writing, interpreting findings, they are excellent. They are more meticulous than men and they are more willing to take pains with small things. “Here at Bryn Mawr the study of Greek art and sculpture is-especially popular. We have a number of Bryn Mawr girls studying over in Athens and.in other parts of Europe. I would encourage girls to pursue this field, for they will find it highly in- teresting and instructivé. After the proper college training, they can then go to certain places to ¢arry on par- ticular studies in whatever kind of archaeology interest-them most. “There is plenty of opportunity in American archaeology. The surface has just been tapped, but just think what we still have to learn about the cultures of the Indians, the®Mayans and the Aztecs. Every time another tomb is excavated and some ancient pottery and jewels are brought to light we can write another paragraph in the history of these ancient peo-. ples and can to ‘our: own a on something important edge.” President} !

Friday, Nov. 4: Miss Susan FELT VARIED INFLUENCES Contemporary French Sculpture, as the subject chosen by M. Louis Reau tor his last Wednesday’s lecture in the Music Room of Goodhart. M. ikeau, who is the director of the Ga- zette des Beaux-Arts and professor at the Ecole du Louvre, as well as offi- cial lecturer of the Alliance Francaise, spoke under the auspices of the de- partments of French and History of Art. His talk, which was in French, was illustrated with lantern slides. Antoine Bourdelle, said M. Reau, 'represents that generation of sculp- tors which succeeded Rodin. Though less genial than the latter, Bourdelle re-invested sculpture with simplicity, its purpose being, he thought, to en- hance the creations of the architect. Sculpture is the art par excellence of the French, and their creations have been the greatest that the world has. produced since the days of the Greeks. Notre Dame has no equiva- |lent, even in Italy, where after a flare of grandeur in the fifteenth century, a period of decadence again set in. In France development was continu- ous, from the Romanesque and Goth- ic, through Jean Bourgeant in the Renaissance, Versailles in the seven- teenth century, Houdon and de Fal- connet in the eighteenth, Rude, Barye, ‘Carpault, Rodin in the nineteenth, to Bourdelle and Despian of the present day. Bourdelle was born at Montauban, a town between Bordeaux and Toulouse, the artistic capital of that region. Montauban itself was well known for its art in the Middle Ages, and was also the birthplace of Ingres. It was at the nearby cloister of -Moissac that Bourdelle first came into contact with the French sculpture of the Middle Ages, which was to be one of the three zreat influences on his work. Bour- delle wag interested, not so much in the thirteenth century, as in the Ro- manesque art of the earlier period. Having served an apprenticeship in his home town—under Falquiere— Bourdelle set out for Paris, as all young artists do, alas.

Political Rally: Ping-Pong Table in Gym to Satisfy Enthusiasts Having remained in obscurity all last year, entirely hidden under May Day costumes, the ping-pong table has again come into its own, and the Ath- letic Association hopes that real in- terest will be taken in this gentle sport. A manager has been appoint- ed—Leta Clews.— and tounnaments have been planned. The manager feels that ping-pong should have a wide appeal; there are many to whom God did not grant an athletic frame. There are also those whom a baseball quite honestly fright- ens. And we must not forget those whose feminine charm is wasted on a hockey field. - While their friends are prancing down the hockey field, they must either sit home on a cushion and grow fat or—play ping-pong. But ping-pong does more than provide safe and stimulating exercise for the feminine, the frail and the muscle- hound. Despite the opinion of tennis authorities, it may, on a small scale, help considerably in per- fecting the tennis stroke. Moreover, it requires cleverness, if not strength. What a boon to the Intellectual! Again, it can be played’ in high heels. Nor is there great need for an ath- ‘letic costume. People -rushing, back from a week-end could, if they desir- ed, go straight to the ping-pong ta- ble. How marvelous if, some day, it were to be placed among the possible Required Sports, or made an alter- nate to Body Mechanics! The manager, however, hopes that ping-pong will not appeal only to a specialized group. She feels sure that the swimmer, making for the pool, will enjoy her plunge far more for having stopped to warm up a minute at the ping-pong table. Let us, then, take this newly-rediscovered sport to our hearts, and make the ping-pong table in the basement of the Gym a common meeting ground for all sorts of people—the short and tall, the weak and strong, the stiff and limber. ec. te HORACE ALWYNE PLAYS “Folk song is a microcosm of all the arts that go to make up the. ar- tistic construction of music,” Dr. Ralph Vaughan Williams asserted, in - the second lecture of the Flexner ser- ies. On the’:Nature of Folk Song,” which he delivered Thursday, October 27, in Goodhart Hall. In the course of his address, he traced the origin of folk music from excited. speech and dance, and discussed its inherent lim- itations and advantages. that the modality of folk music has an appeal for modern listeners, the choir sang four English folk tunes und-Mr. Alwyne played three exam- ples of modern modal harmony by De- bussy, Ravel, and Satie. As a summary of his last lecture, Dr. Williams remarked that national music is not all folk song, but folk song is national music in the most un- adulterated form possible, an art in its own right, perfectly adapted to the unsophisticated people who use it. Since emotion is more primitive than thought, it does not seem far-fetched to suppose that primitive song origi- nated before primitive speech, and cer- tainly before the most primitive of instruments. According :to Dr. Williams, song “grew from emotional, excited speech, un idea which seems borne out by the interchangeability of the words for “say” and “sing” in Old German. A folk singer speaks of “telling” not of “singing” a~ballad, and the words and music aré so inextricably mixed in his mind that he cannot hum the tune without the words. Song is an obvious way of giving pattern to words. Before men had written records, ballads served many of the functions of modern newspa- pers and books. Since everything had to be learned orally, to aid his mem- ory, the ballad maker (speaking in the singular for the sake of convenience) would put his story in a metrical fo¥m and, to increase the emotional value, would add musical notes, The first step in the development of the four-line folk tune was prob- ably the use of some Stock phrase at (Continued on Page Four) Resignation | The College News regrets to announce the resignation of Molly Nichols, ’34, from the | editorial staff.

Marks of Cain LET THERE BE SANITY _Every_year_the-first-seheduled-quiz-is-the signal for an outburst of mark hysteria which rages unabated until the last mark is posted in June. There has always been an unfortunate tendency among the undergraduates to exaggerate the importance of marks: -a tendency which received added vigor when the system of numerical marking was installed. Marks are-at- best a-necessary evil; and they should never be regarded as the final analysis of anyone’s- intellectual achievement. It is safe to say that the majority of professors would prefer to abolish the system of marks altogether if they could be sure that the work would be — without them. not be weadanted in such unsy mpathetic terms as ciialy No two minds are alike and an attempt to classify them in a numeriéal direc- tory is at best a. bit of scientific guess-work. Every student must realize that education is a matter of development of the intellect and broadening of the viewpoint, and is only distantly connected with those marks that are posted for the entire college to regard. Yet time after time we have heard girls comparing marks and trying to find out who, if anyone, got a higher mark than they did. We have heard students ask everyone in the smoking room what another’ girl got in her quiz so the inquisitor could find out who got the best mark. The entire process fills us with something resembling disgust. If a girl wants to do high eredit work, she deserves the attendant ninety, but if she wants the ninety because another girl has an eighty-nine, she does not deserve it. Let those of us who want to learn, learn, but let us not struggle for marks out-of envy, greed or malice. If a student is satisfied with what she does on a quiz, the mark is of no importance. There is no excuse for the Bryn Mawr attitude toward marks; it is a form of infantile hysteria. We.go to college to learn or not to learn, as the case may be. Our marks are a personal matter and if every student would keep her mind on her own progress instead of on the relative progress of her classmates, the purpose of the/ college, to broaden and develop, would be more nearly achieved. LET: THERE BE PRIVACY The News is definitely opposed to the: present system of numerical marking and to the custom of posting’ marks for the benefit of the entire college. We are against numeriéal marking because we feel that it is impossible for any professor to draw such a.mifiute distinction between two students’ work as the difference of a single point indicates ; because numerical grades enlarge-the significance of marks in the stu- dent mind; and lastly because even /a flexible system of marking is a poor instrument by which to reckon ability and effort, and as rigid a system as the one now employed is bound to be inaccurate and unfair. We are even more fervently opposed to the system of posting marks because what one gets in an exam./is a personal and not a community matter; because there is no reason for any student having to undergo the public humiliation of having her failures advertised ; because eom- parisons breed envy and often malice; and finally because the post- ing system promotes the hysteria which we are trying to combat. As a remedy for the numerical evil we would suggest the restora- tion offthe old system, which is more flexible and hence more accurate. If the marks were not made public, some of the evils of the present system would ‘be eliminated, but we still oppose numerical classifica- tion of achievement. We stand unequivocally against any system which makes public the results of any exainination. Marks could be mailed out by the office as soon as each girl’s bxam record is complete, or each professor eould announce an office hour as soon as the exams were corrected in which he could give out the results. This would entail more work on the part of the faculty, but we feel sure they would welcome the aboli- tion of a growing abuse. The News will be only too glad to receive and publish student opinion on the matter. We intend to fight for a restora- tion of sanity as regards marks and we feel that the first battle must be fought on the subject of making a student’s marks her own. wed ‘ Deck Tennis | There is to be @ deck) ten ir on: the upper hockey for those who wish exercise and | take eer a ime Seq ELECTIONS M.

Morning papers are delivered in an alluringly casual manner in Bryn Mawr and its environs. Only the other morning as we walked past Miss Park’s front gate at seven o’clock, temptation tugged at our reflexes. At the foot of the Yarrow walk lay The Herald Tribune, a collegiate diner’s reach. inside the gate. The sight. of another paper, The Philadelphia Ledger, we believe, scattered halfway up the walk, gave us pause. It l@pk- ed too much like a trap—there would be a tabloid just around the corner and then we would be caught. A lurid imagination made us see the gleam of tin pans and flat-irons whose clat- ter would arouse the household and betray the morning-paper sneak-thief. We passed on, not without a tinge of. self-righteousness brightening the early-morning mood. N. B.—There was a rubber band around The Tribune. We think it may have been part of the trap. Statistics: “Pembroke West geese have been known to sit for one hour in the smoking-room of a Sunday morning, letting church and every- thing else slide by, waiting patiently for the Sunday funnies, insensible to the fact that they are merely thrown under the arch for the first taker.

The only really amusing incident in it is sup- posed to be a great play to the heckled audience’s' sympathy—the author in his attempt to paint the crusading nuisance as a martyred heroine puts bugs in her bed, and made her false teeth fall out while she was address- ing a dry congregation: That only annoys us, because it’s far too good for the lady that took some of ‘the better joys out of life and left us with tomato juice and a free passage to a better world. Pauline Lord is coming out soon in Sidney. Howard’s adaptation of The Late Christopher Bean, a French sa- tirical comedy.

This new play. was a great suc- cess in Paris, but that doesn’t mean much, because over there the actors can say what they mean and act as they feel without having a crusade “to make the world safe for the sim- ple mind” drag in the censors. Over here the actors say one thing, act another, and feel two more, so that the audience can pay its $4.40 and take its choice.

Despite the number of times the Varsity forwards reached the cir- cle, they were unable to get the ball in the cage. Even the backs were less efficient than usual, Several times the Germantown forwards passed the Bryn Mawr backs at the fifty-yard line to rush down a clear field upon Jackson, who was quite incapable of defending the cage against the whole forward line. During the first half, the Bryn Mawr forwards managed to keep the ball inside the circle, but no one seem- ed able to make a goal; and a. mad pushing and poking of the ball helped matters not at all. Taggart at right wing played a nice game in the open, but tended to carry the ball too far Consequently, her. down the field. passes, coming from an almost impos- sible angle, were very difficult to re- ceive. Longacre’s weakness lies in her goal passes. Although persistent in her ef- fort to get the ball, her attempts at the goal are mere jabs with very lit- tle force or speed behind them, and as a result are easily blocked. If she could develop a strong pass she would become a dangerous offensive player. Even Remington, the only forward to have a forceful stroke, seemed unable | to use it on Friday and played far below her usual standard. Faeth at inner also played a nice game in the open field, but she has a tendency to delay her passes go that they nearly always go to gee tek Both she and Brown should develop a hard pass and, most important of all, follow up their mistakes. The backfield played a better game than the forwards, but also lacked their usual form. Kent was passed by her wing many times and when she did get the ball she usually passed it “across the goal, thus giving the opponents the chance to seize it in center field and rush it to the goal. Although often outstripped by her op- posing center forward, Collier’s play- ing was up to the mark. In the first half, she took a rebound in front of the Germantown goal, dribbled in, and with a hard shot made a perfect goal. Ullom’s game was ‘steady and sure, and, as she had no wing to guard, she was able to cover a great deal of territory. Bishop played a slow game and was careless about clearing across goal. Rothermel played the best game of the afternoon. She broke up the Ger- mantown offense many times and aid- ed Jackson in keeping the balk from _ the cage. During the first half, Jack- son seemed unable to stand up and was continually getting mixed up with her own backfield whenever she ad- vanced from the goal, but she settled down in the second and stuck closer to the cage. For Germantown, ‘Lene Thomas at right wing, and A. Cox, at center for- ward, played exceptionally well. The entire. forward. line rushed the goal with hard balls, which were almost impossible to stop. The whole German- lown team was adept at intercepting passes, while Kitty McLean, the cen- ler half, successfully broke up any of: fense that the Varsity had to offer. The line-up was: Gmtn, C. C.

Deal -with=them: * ~ League Speaker Contrasts Various Scales of Living “tf America is a land of equal opportunity, why should the accident of birth give e girl leisure and comfort, to As the prospect of slow starvation?” asked Dr. Hornell Hart, Professor of Sogjology, at the neeting of the Bryn Mawr League’s evening, October 26. For the benefit of the twenty-seven college studénts and industrial workers who assem- bled for supper in the May Day Room, he pointed out the contrast in eeonom- ic status, of the two groups, and con- sidered ways of making such inequali- ties less flagrant. As a preface, Dr. Hart remarked that he often wonders what right he has to a comfortable home, while others exist miserably in tenements. Those who are in need wonder even more, of course, than he does, and he went-:on to say in New York and elsewhere, there are many idealistic people who feel that the principles of Christianity should be put into action, and that those who preach brotherly love without making some attempt to a on practice it should cease their hypoe- | tion’ was an unjustifiable luxury.

C.,Reds The Philadelphia Cricket Club Reds completely defeated the second Var- sity hockey team by the score of 8-1. The Varsity was entirely outplayed by the speedy Red team in both halves, The burden of. the play fell upon the backs, who did their: best to resist the constant rushes, and intercept the clever passwork of the Réd for- ward line—but in vain. The few times that the Bryn Mawr offense managed to get the ball into the op- ponents’ circle proved fruitless, as El- liot, an All-American goal, resisted all efforts to get’it past her guard. It was not until the second half, when she was shifted to right wing, that Faeth. was able to get the ball in the cage after a hard rush. The smoothness and unity of the Philadelphia team, their clever and swift passes, and solid defense were excellent. The members cf the Var- sity team (several of whom were on the sidelines), as well as the second Varsity, should profit from the ex- ‘| perience—bitter though it was.

Dr. Williams has actually heard such a phrase used\by an open-air preacher in. Scotland. -The man, beginning ia ‘_an ordinary speaking voice, became ‘more and more excited till at a dis- tance where tHe words were _indistin- guishable, he seemed to be chanting a cértain. five-note musical phrase, ‘' which occurs répeatedly in folk song. A ballad maker, having in his ex- citement .hit upon such a_ phrase, repeat it and . would add embellishment and decora- Since, however, the music was made to fit the four linés of a stanza of poetry, he would ‘add another phrase, after which he ‘-eduld return to the first, thus using the eternal musical formula ABA, and employing the two great musical principles of variety and emphasis by - repetition. . Although the complete song stanza developed in this fashion from excited ‘« speech, the element of rhythm (i. e., the relationship of duration and ac- cent_of notes) must_be traced to the dance, and to emotional, excited ges- ture. Melody can exist apart from rhythm, and rhythm apart from mel- _ ody, but a complete*felk song must ‘contain both elements. In suport of Dr. Williams’ belief that in its symmetry, continuity, and development, folk music shows an ex- traordinary amount of unconscious . art among simple people, the college choir sang three examples of English folk tunes: Searching for . Lambs, The Water Is Wide, both from Cecil Sharpe’s Somerset collection, and The Holy Well, a cattle tune. Although ‘in the first number, the opening was not in perfect unison, and the choir ‘was too disposed to draw out one line before beginning the néxt, the per- formance was distinguished by sweet- ness of tone and .ability to achieve “the utmost dramatic effect. These tunes, beautifully rendered, showed, as Dr. Willianis said, that “folk song is in itself a ¢gmplete and to-my mind}: occasionally supreme work of art.” Certain severe limitatiéns of scope are, however, inherent in its essen- lial characteristics, In the first place, folk music is purely intuitive; it lacks the self-conscious calculation necessary for a large ‘work such as symphpny or opera. ~The fact that folk tunes were originally never writ-| ten or’ printed, but transmitted oral- ly, naturally curtails their length. Furthermore, since folk music is usu- ally applied music, fitted to the’ stan- za of a ballad or the figure of a dance, the rhythmic scheme is limited by ‘its use. Finally, folk music is pure melody, without any accompany- ing: harmony. These limitations, however, also have their corresponding advantages. Folk song is bound by no musical eti- quette, which confines its careless rap- ture to the terms of musical notation. The curtailment of length compels a brevity and conciseness which many composers of great works are unable to copy. _The_ repetition of one tune with many verses has permitted only those melodies to survive which gain, instead of pall, with frequent hear- ings. The vertical limitation of the lack of harmony has permitted the use of a variety of modes. Modern people have become so ac- customed to a harmonic substructure that even when they hear an unac- companied melody, they mentally sup- ply the usual harmony. It is a univer- sal fact, however, that if music de- velops in one way, it is limited in an- other. Eastern nations, for instance, _ without any harmony, have an elab- orate melodic system. Modern west- ern,-cultured music, with an harmonic basic, is curtailed in melodic scope, and between the late seventeenth and early nineteenth centuries, was found- ed on but two modal schemes, the ma- jor and minor. Folk song, being pure- ly melodic in character, shows no limi- tation, but variety of modes, among which the Doran, Aeolian, and Mix lydian are most common, The characterization of modes as “ecclesiastic” instead of “melodic,” as tation. Folk song and plain bodies of pure- vften considered, a derelict version of chureh musie In fact, it is rather more likely that plain song was in its earliest days derived from folk.song, than vice versa. Modal] tunes are, furthermore, not necessarily old,-but_merely melodic in outline. If harmonic, they are often called “archaic,” but archaic harmony is never modal. When men began [using harmony they found that the melodies did not fit their harmonic schemes and so altered the modal na- ture of the tunes. It was not until that pure modal harmony really ex- isted. At that time, Russian com- 7 Bourdelle Described as Prominent Sculptor (Continued from Page One) ies were very fecund; he was not only a’ pupil, but a collaborator of Rodin; every work, for many of them did only the designing and outlines; Among those finished by Bourdelle is the distribute these ‘commodities to those who. need them. This condition -is the middle of the nineteenth century|.a result of the fact that although goods are produced to be consumed, their production, instead of proyiding posers felt the movement toward na- tionalism and began studying Rus- sian folk music for inspiration. They discovered that the tunes were melod- ically concéiyed, and sought their har- monic implications... But these com- posers were merely brilliant amateurs, who, ignorant, of the common rile, made their harmony the base down, instead of up, thus by accident. devel: oping a modern modal harmony, en- tirely different from the archaic har- mony of early composers like Dunsta- ble. Three modern compositions were played by Mr. Alwyne to illustrate the use of this new style: Debussy’s “Sarabande.” from Pour le Piano, Ri- vel’s “Minuet” from Sonatine, and Sa- .tie’s “Gymnopedie,” all of which he performed with his customary skillful execution and interpretation. In conclusion, the choir, showing considerable facility in handling the intricate and varied rhythm, sang a Sussex folk tune in the Dorian mode, My Bonnie Boy. In his next lecture, to be delivered Thursday, November 8, Dr. Williams will discuss the debated question of | the communal origin of folk song and trace its further evolution. | League Speaker Contrasts Various Scales of Living (Continued from Page Three) less we are to lose what advantages civilization has gained us. Whether | the particular individuals who now re- | ceive its benefits are the members of the community most fitted by natural intelligence and seriousness of pur- pose, to benefit by it, is another ques- tion. Although humanitarian ideas have been developed sufficiently to make so- ciety unwilling to permit’ men to starve without making some gestures for relief, a food allowance of four dollars a week, such as is provided by many relief organizations for a family of five, is not sufficient to main- tain vitality. When farmers com- plain of a wheat surplus, and yet thousands are hungry, the trouble ‘with our economic system must be not the lack of commodities, of wheat and corn and shoes, but the inability to sufficient wages for the consumer to purchase them, has merely provided capital with which the investor buys new machinery and new factories. Three suggested methods of action for remedying this. state of affairs. were reviewed by Dr. Hart. President Hoover, and his advisers, believe that a reform of the banking and financial | system and expansion of credit are necessary for national prosperity, but it seems. doubtful whether the posi- tion of a debtor can be permanently improved merely by increasing the burden of his debts. Another plan calls for government ownership and operation of industry, but in Russia, where this theory is being tried out, there are still bread lines. As a third possibility, Dr. Hart sug- gested an idea of his own, which would be founded on mutual confidence ‘and altruism. A central planning board of the country’s twenty key retail men would be organized. Production would be undertaken with the idea that commodities are intended for con- sumption. The potential demand for each particular article would be reck- ‘oned by skilled economists, and work- ers employed in producing these arti- cles would be paid in part by cash, rin~-part by: purchase certificates —is- sued even before the goods are ready, thus creating a demand among the 10,000,000 put to work. As a result, prices would rise. Different com- panies would give estimates to supply commodities. controlled by this board, but since the board would decide im- partially between them, and order only amounts which it knew could be immediately consumed, ruthless, wasteful competition would be avoid- ed and the evils of over-production eliminated.

But though Bourdelle acquired a sense of movement, and the power to ‘give animation to marble, he felt that Rodin lacked a sense of the whole; his details were rich in themselves but ‘inorganic. Bourdelle strongly believ- ed that sculpture should be the docile collaborator of the architect; “c’est maintenant l’heure de batir,” he said. And so he turned to Greek art for his third source of inspiration. He was chiefly interested in the primitive works, which had been discovered in his time. Before that, the Apollo Bel- vedere had been thought early. - Bourdelle has been accused of prim- itivism. His imitation, however, is in- telligent; he renovates and gives his art an entirely modern accent. In illustrating the art of Bourdelle, M. Reau found it advisable. to divide shis work into “la petite sculpture”’— the busts—and “la sculpture monu- mentale.” Bourdelle infinitely prefer- red the latter, but, as has been said, : an artist obtains an order for a bust more easily than he does for a ca- thedral. Bourdelle’s heads, however, are by no means “oeuvres de jeu- nesse;” he left no “first works.’’ The | earliest was the product of his forti- eth_year, in 1900, and thus his twen- ty-nine years of activity. were all in our century. Bourdelle liked especially to sculp- ture great men. Among the busts which M. Reau showed us were those of Beethoven, Ingres, Carpault, Ana- tole France, Frazer, Rodin and the artist himself. Bourdelle did not strive for resem- blance. The bust of Beethoven, for in- stance, is obviously a work of fan- tasy. He has, however, the imprint of genius, with his deeply-sunken eyes and his storm-ravaged hair, In every case, Bourdelle seems to have caught the essential of his subject’s charac- ter; Ingres is obviousty authoritative, tyrant over his pupils; Carpault seems troubled and feverish; Vincent d’Indy is very lordly. Bourdelle has reproduced perfectly the ascetic char- acter of the old Strasbourg doctor, and has made an unforgettable por- trait of him. Also very powerful and striking is the portrait of Sir James Frazer, the English folk-lorist, who (Continvea on Page Five) m | New York's MOST EXCLUSIVE RESIDENCE FOR YOUNG WOMEN Known for Faultless Attend- ance and Individual Service.
