. Greece has been a large contributor
to the world's, sources of the beautiful.
Mow far have the Greek ideals spread?
No creation of sculpture or of architec
ture but in some way "has borrowed
from her. , ; Yet It was not in her archi
tecture -or In her sculpture that Greece
left lor man his greatest heritage, but
ta the ideal of perfect and symmetrical
physical development To realise beauty
here as the oreex realised It, one must
understand how a great ambition, to
wear the -ere wa of victory became the
ruling passion of the Greek life., How
the' moat rigorous self-denial, training,
and the moat earnest effort were cheer-'
fully, willingly nnd even sealously made
the daily practice In order that strength
and suppleness of. .muscle, quickness of
thought.- stesdlnesa ef serve might unite
In-the crisis of effort to- carry the pos
sessor to the' goal of -victory, v ' . ;
To read the history of Greece with
lliat Inner light of aympethetlo appre
ciation is- to know the, motives and to
feet .the stirring impulses which fashion
the life of the Greek; butlts know means
consciously or unconsciously to Imitate.,
For act moves naturally and-spontaneously
In lines parallel with, thought
-. One 'cannot Image in' one's mind- the
Meal of physical perfection as the Greek
knew It without 'making the possession
of si strong, vigorous and healthy body
ror oneeeii as ideal toward which one
will live.'.- ", . '.: -
-Appreciation of anything grows with
one's effort to attain It until it becomes
a mastering passion. Possession of on
thing makes acquirement ef another of
the same kind more possible.'
As the Greeks possessed first their
Meal of a perfect pltyelcal being. so
they fame into possession of an ex
pression ox art as perfect In kind as 1U
lorerunner. physical beauty, and the-art
sculpture which Is but the human form
beautiful -In marble was given to the
world. ' But in a Minerva, In 'Apollo
Belvedere, or. in the Venue do MUo-one
sees but a block of marble still if there
be not in one's soul ths Ideal of physical
oeauty wmcn tney express. .
. Standing on -the 'acroDolls one" Is re
minded again that It was not alone in
the physical that the ideals of the Greek
found a- perfect expression, ; but - their
religious- Impulses worked out Id them
a' farther reaching and even more potent
lnriunoe... Here that their gods might be
fittingly worshiped, was given .to the
world a standard of beauty In archi
tecture that . can navegJs equaled or
excelled as long as time shall laat. '.

thla lies-the still more uncomfortable
fact that the fathers and mothers of
