GOLDEN AGE PICTURED
AUDIENCE GOES OX MEXTAIj
PILGRIMAGE TO GREECE.
B. R. Baumgardt Extols learning of
Ancients at Lincoln High School.
Napoleon, Topic Tonight.
Apllgrlmage to Greece, under the
leadership of a devotee, an ardent
admirer of all that belongs to the
golden age, was the happy fate that
fell to the lot of an audience that
filled the auditorium of the new Lincoln
Hla-h School . last night, when B. It.
Baumgardt, the noted lecturer of Los-
Angeles,- gave tne .-secomi 01 a series
of lectures for the benefit of. the
Teachers' Retirement Fund. His topic
was "A Visit to Athens, and the Glory
of the Golden Age of Pericles."
In his Introduction Mr. Baumgardt
traced the leap that Greece made for
ward in all branches and on all sides
under the great all pervading genius
of Pericles.. The military rise and the
presence of such generals as Mlltlades;
the fame of the drama, Aeschylus, the
father of dramatic poetry; of Sophocles,
whose drama is admitted to be the best
not only of that age but of all time:
Euripides, whose Alcestis and Medea
ara tragedies that have supplied tba
material for "the play writers of the
modern time; Aristophanes whose
comedies" "The Birds" and "The Frogs"
have been copied In sucn plays as
"Chantecler." These were but a few of
the men and sides touched upon by
the speaker.
He showed too the rise in medicine,
the fame of Hyppocrites whose Judg
ment of medicine was almost Infalli
ble, and who was the family doctor
of Pericles himself.
"In architecture, as rroiessor
Mahaffey, of Dublin University, has
aid. th perfection of the Parthenon
will never again be reproduced." de
clared the lecturer, "and no architect
of today ever dreams that he could
equal the work of Praxiteles, much less
surpass It. for who In this age has
v. 1 n n.faf i an n rm that would
replace the lost arm of the Venus of
Miior
At the close of his introduction the
listeners were taken from spot to spot,
from building to building and from
statue to statue. Pyraens, the old
harbor of Athens was a fitting start,
though prior to this view Byron was
shown, as the English poet upon whom
the Greeks cast such a spell that he
went over to fight for them and- to
die for them in their struggle against
the Turks, a parallel of the present
day. 1
Tonight at 8 o'clock Mr. Baumgardt
will speak on Napoleon Bonaparte.

WHEN yountf Miss Housewife first aspired, to build the home

never toil nor woe nor care. fShe half imagined, in a

Ton noon the sordid side of life the
dust and grime and soot and strife each
one, in turn, reminded her, that little
problems must occur. A part of thrift is in
the knack of fighting dirt around you, back;

entered, eager for a chore. They
polished all the silverware, they
scrubbed the bathroom and the

TJfrom pit to dome, they garnished
up that little home.
