HANDIWORK OF PAST
AGE REVIVED HERE
Bags, Cushions and Tray Cloths Using
Stitch of Renaissance Period
Made hy Students
Bags, cushions, tray cloths, runners,
and backs for chairs are being made
by Miss Maude Kerns’ class in design
1, reviving the gross point and petit
point stitch of the renaissance period
—a stitch very like our cross stitch.
The work is of especial interest at this
time because the Roumanian tapestry
of Dr. Charles Upson Clark displayed
last week on the campus showed in
many cases the same stitch.
A Greek bag has been loaned for
study by Miss Alice Capps, as well as
Italian and Chinese embroidery and
two Persian towels.
“This stitch has been used in many
countries and at many times,” said
Miss Kerns. “It was popular during
the renaissance, and the reign of Will
iam and Mary, and was known in Eng
land and France. It was revived by
our grandmothers, and now it is having
another revival.”
Miss Kerns found women in Portland
and Seattle making tapestry upholster
ing for their furniture when she was
C re recently. The canvas needed has
become so scarce that she has been un
able to get any more in Portland, Seat
tle, or San Francisco, and has just sent
to Paris for more.
INSTRUCTOR BELIEVES
(Continued from page one)
third, his frequent tirades against exist
ing social customs.
None of these is a sufficient reason.
They are all based on the popular illu
sion that a man’s character is a criterion
of his logic. Nothing of the sort—Lew
isohn’s arguments must stand or fall by
virtue of their inherent logic alone. Lew
isohn has in one place referred to base
ball and prohibition as the two most dis
tinctively American institutions. Is this
what the writer of the editorial had in
mind?
But aside from this, the attitude of the
editorial is one of refusing to consider
the very question at issue: Are Ameri
can institutions and existing social cus
toms capable of handling our present sit
uation? Or may not some criticism be
made, with an outlook toward progress?
This is what Mr. Lewisohn has done.
Vet because he has done it we are told
to look out for him. This is one of the
most dangerous tendencies in America to
day. William Dean Howells has said:
“Whatever is established is sacred with
those who do not think.” This seems
too true.
Mr. Lewisohn's attitude during the
war was not antagonistic to America. It
was antagonistic to the war psychosis,
and the underhanded and “dirty” meth
ods with tvhich ij must be obtained. It
condemns" the unreasoning 0 and unjust
results ’of this psychosis." as any think
ing man will today. For example, are
not the French atrocities in the Ruhr, as
told in the papers now, equal to the Ger
man atrocities of the war? Yet we
rather land them or at least excuse them.
However all this has nothing to do with
the argument. It is an appeal to pre
iudice.
Further, there were some statements in
Lhe last part of the editorial which are
false. The statement that Lewisohn at
tacked French literature was intended
to further the prejudice against him as
“pro-German.” Rut those who have fol
lowed his critical work for the last few
years know that the statement, is not
true. He attacks certain writers or
works and lauds others, just as any critic
must do, for artistic reasons alone.
It was also stated that Lewisohn’s
criticism was wholly destructive: that,
he had no change to suggest. He has.
ft is in the hook; all the change he sees
i need of. A careful reader can get his
program.
“Un Stream” is interesting and in
valuable in that it so aptly expresses
much that is being felt in America to
day. John Dewey is saying similar
*hings. but we say, “That’s philosophy”;
Mul don’t bother about it. Lewisohn has
fsaid them in plain language and it makes
>'s wonder. These things are being felt
world wide. Bertrand Russel^ has a
similar criticism of education in this
month’s Dial: “Is Education Free?”
The manner of “Up Stream” grows
| vindictive at times, but this can be ex
1 cased, when we realize what Lewisohn
has been through. “Up Stream” should
Le read and thought about by every stu
dent in the University. Every thinking j
person would find it profitable and ques-j
tions it raises are vital to each one.
