By tba institution of this work. Instead of manual training . aa pursued in the city schools, the speaker thought tha boys from the farm would be prepared for scientific farm ing as taught in the-state college of agriculture and would learn early In life the use of their bands sa well as their heads, besides gaining-a lova for their 1 Ufa work. - , i .

Woodard, Clarke' Co. MISS OLGA IIETHERSOLE'S RETURN (Continued from PS Nineteen.) had been a mere chronicle history Into a tragedy. Spues will Jtot permit to go Into anything Ilka a discussion here; all that may be given la tbe general state ment that incidents wars combined and changed In such a manner as to modify thewhol .trend end meaning of tba story. The subtle way In which the sub-plot of Edmund's treason Is worked into the main plot until It becomes a motiving fores in tha action and In Lear's mental changes, will give the clue to the whole wonderful workman ship. - - . , -' Yet once having solved the technical problem, trie dramatist seems to have lost' interest la It, and soma of tha last scenes are from a technical. standpoint badly managed and ' apparently burr riedly written, showing that the au thor's real Interest was in the charac ter of the old king. Hera you have genius even at its best No wonder Haxlltt apostrophled: "All that we can aay muat fall far abort of the subject, or even of what we ourselves conceive it It is ths best of all Shakespeare's plays, for It la the one in which he was most in .earnest' " He waa here fairly caught la the web of his own imagina tion." '. ' Most of us would hesitate to say that "King Lear la "the best of all Shake speare's plays"; but tha other 'part of the statement that "It la the one in which he was the most earnest" car ries conviction. There Is something al most autobiographic about this tragedy and you seem to feel Its author all through It It rings' with the personal note. ., , The Storm Scene. x There has been a great deal written about tha madneaa portrayed In tha play, Tou may read - citations from alienists and scientists. : It really mat ters little what medicine or aclence may say. Scientifically, Lear may have had the germs of madneaa, In him when he made the abaurd demands of his daughter;- from a literary standpoint ha waa perfectly . sana and muat be ' regarded so. Lear does not become insane-staking again tba literary point of view until the storm, when his body, bruised by exposure to the. Inclement elements, his mind tortured by the Ingratitude of hla daughters and Inflamed by the mad-ness-ef tbe night and nature, succumbs to weariness and gradually allps away while he Is speaking avlth Edgar. Nor haa this been due to a slow disintegra tion, but rather to a shock producing a derangement from which be may re cover. Thus in this scene you have the most vivid contrast: Edgar feigning madness of the bedlam beggar; ths fool with a wise madneaa; and Lear tem porarily demented. v The portrait bf Lear Is beautifully drawn, full of tenderness and kindliness, strong even la his weakness and "every Inch a king," with ths blood of kings In hla Veins. " Robert Mantell'e enact ment of this difficult Tola was surpris ingly good. Never did he quite reach the note of absolute greatness, but he gave a consistent appealing -portrayal. Especially waa he excellent In showing the temporary madneaa,' subtly suggest ing tbe possibility of cure. - It was a performance well worth seeing, one showing thought and understanding and characterised by restraint and Intelli gence. - The . production was adequate, though, the support was far from per feet or ideal. Some of the actors read their - lines la-- a - way te proclaim an Ignorance of their - meaning -and a greater ; Ignorance of the meaning of blank verse. - Yet in spite of all that may be urged against it ths present offering of this play glvea opportunity of witnessing It- in e -not unsatisfactory nor unsatisfying manner. La Belle Marseillaise. , A charming play, beaulifully acted, is "La Belle Marseillaise" as presented byl Miss Virginia Harned. Its author, Pierre Berton. will be remembered aa the cre atot of "Zaaa.; The present piece la quite the opposite to "Zasa," full of lightness and grace and sweetness. Ths story centers about a plot to kill General Bonaparte. The head of the cdnsplracy Is the Marquis de Tallemont who. to effect his purpose, has dls- Books . . I flTB Art of the National Oal- I lery" By Julia de Wolf Ad " JL dlson. The title .page tells us v that thla la a "a critical sur vey of the schools snd painters aa repre sented In ths British collection," and a very clear and complete, aa well as Im partial, surrey It Is. The National gal lery, it will be remembered. Is one of most excellent arrangement, and tha treasures may ba easily treated of In a very satisfactory way. In thla work the author. In treating of the early history of art, haa consulted original authorities and contemporary treatises, rather than late commentators, when dealing with technical processes such as tempers, fresco, encaustic and oil painting. In this gallery, tnore then In most col lections, the minor, plotures are quite worth mentioning and the author has casually, at least, mentioned almost every work. .,' The National Gallery bf London, besides being the home of some of the world's greatest r master-pieces. Is particularly noted for the fact that In this building one may study the history ef. srt by It examples, nearly- all schools being rep resented snd so arranged that It Is pos sible to make a systematic atudy of th growth and development of art from very early tlmea until ths days of the century Just past. - ' - The author begins her work systsm atloally by first taking up the very early art of Italy, and follows out th plan step by. -step, giving ths history of each school and notable examples, iwHh explanations. e'esr down to- the days of Turner, Landseer and others of the nineteenth century. In fact, so far aa tha national gallery Is concerned, she . leaves very little to be desired except a longing to see It for one's self, which would be a rare treat after reading so Intelligent a description of It. In conclusion the writer- says: 'Al though one can hardly' hold with Lea lie today, that the national, gallery would take the place of foreign experience, still It .might mean much more In th lives of many than It does.. Its mcs sage, though not final, la a wholesome one to any earnest lover of est he 1 1 culture." , . - The book is enriched by 4t reproduc tions of. . the best and most notabl works of ths collection, and tha book ts inrhandeome- holiday- attire of .rich green repp binding and gold, cover do sign, with sdash of color.

His wife, Jeanne, termed" riso after ths inn "La Bella Marseillaise," knows little of the plot or Its scope. She la many years her husband'a junior, having- been married to him .when aha waa but aix and the relation between the two is practically that of father and child.

A waiter of tha inrj. rushes In and aaya that de Tallemont haa been destroyed, hla head completely blown away, tbe recognition having been made by the clothing. While they are bringing the body to the Inn and Jeanne In one corner kneels overcome, from a cellar door slips de Tallemont talis her that he has exchanged - eoata with another - man, makes , hsr swear - that she will wear mourning for. blm and that- she will never disclose hla secret, then hurries away. ., ; : .v: , . . , Bonaparte's Strategy.

She Is In love with him, too, but she naturally refuaea to marry him, though ahs dares not tell him ths reason. Bonaparte has formed a match for his young offloer and when Crlsenoy refuaes to accede to his re quest and tells the general his story, Bonaparte suspects the truth. He hss Jeanne- summoned and he trie In every way to worm her secret out of her. She knows only too well his purpose, but Just at ths moment she recognises In a meesenger her husband. Falling in all other ways, Bonaparte insists that ahs marry Crlsenoy, relying on ths wom an' a purity to make her confess. And to save da Tallemont, who, has saved her father and herself, Jeanne conaenta. Bonaparte himself leada the bridal couple to Crlsenoy's apartments after th ceremony. When the two young people are left alone, Jeanne having swore her new husband to secrecy, con fides to him all. In anger hd says that he will tell his general. In the midst of the altercation Bonaparte, who has suspected that soma such thing would result, hurries through tha door. But at the crucial moment Crlsenoy remains true to his oath and refuses to tell any thing. . Bonaparte orders Crlsenoy to be placed under arrest. . Miss Harned Successful. ; .

Hei work tha other night wag full of variety and beauty, and there can be little doubt that both Miss Harned and the play are in -fdi"l succesa. .
