tn!rn this talc, An American prof
ror of KiiKlinh literature, now away
on hi -aliliatical year, ami who. until
recently, by invitation occupied a
chair at the Sarhonnc on the modern
dr.vji.i, at the InKinninn of his couric
i-cUires etrrled himself critic in
niordiuary of American (day,
ucrican plnymoer, American mart
en, and American theatres. Pains
have been taken by those who know
him that on hi return to America by
way of London, this Christopher Co
lunibus of all that is wmnu with us
theatrically, shall meet , a fairly prom
inent American mananer who is now
in London. In fact, the ittnn.iRcr ha
expressed a wish to meet the Profes
sor, not in the least with an idea of
refuting or scttiiiK straight his opin
ions, but simply to ask him if l-.e
thinks Paris the riht place to air the
faults of the American theater. The
pity is that the manager does not
know the professor a little bit better
that he minht nl ask him why. at tlte
w
ft
inn
American university where the Prof
essor is a controlling factor, and
where electivisin (a respectable name
for sciolism) is the vogue, there is
an abundance of courses on tthe fine
arts, oit neology, on the romance
lanuuafies, on culture, aboricultnrc
and agriculture, but a decided paucity
of compulsory instruction in the exact
sciences. In a word, why mental rec
reation has been substituted for men
tal discipline. He might even go so
far as to offer him his passage back
to New York if the professor can
give any other answer than that the
students will not attend severely
scientific coupes the liberal studies
haviuK crowded out the humanities.
I low easy would it be, then, for the
manager to draw a deadly parallel.
You give your students, not the rigor'
oits courses you really think they
ought to have, but the easy studies
and pursuits they demand. So, too,
we give the public' not the plays it
ought to have, but the kind it wants.
You ay the liberal studies have
crowded out the humanities. So too
with us, the modern play, the more
amusing-, the more recreating play
has crowded out and relegated to the
library the classical drama or tthe
play of ideas. In both cases we
yield to the wishes of the vast major
ity which is always wrong, always
downward in its inclinations, and only
kept front perdition by that saving
minority thut exists in every com
munity. We both give lour public
what it wants even against our better
instincts; but of the two panderer
.which is the greater, the governors
of our University, who are morally
the guardians of the youths submitted
to their care, or the managers of
American theaters, who arc in no
hciixc the guardans of the Atnercan
theater-going public?

NKW YORK, June S. What is

There were actually 365 dogs and
nearly 1,200 entries, the task of judg

breeds scheduled to be disposed of
had to be left over until to-day. The
brunt of the task was o; the should

the duties of both that dusk overtook
matters befo're cither had completed
his allotted work.
