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.

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.
