Individual Swamped Both
In art : and Industry,:
Professor Relates' -
ants in. modern Russia has been
greatly improved over-those pre
vious to the great war and that
the individual is swamped In the
rule of the masses, and that the
idealist' ha no place in this
scheme of .-things were some of
this interesting . statement inade
by Prof. R. B. Winn, Instructor
in; philospohy at Willamette Hni-
Tersity,- in hi iectnre Tuesday
night in the auditorium et ibe
Salem public library oh the sub
ject of "Art in Modern Russia."
Professor Winn Showed by ex
tract from pre-war authors and
post-war writers that, although
the general literacy -of the Rus
sian has Increased largely, there
is ia dearth ot writers of genius.
The cause of this -he declared 'to
be j the fact that all personality Is
merged in the. masses. "This cause
produced the same effect in mu
sic, poetry, painting and. drama.
The population is divided into
two classes those with the. gov
ernment -and those against, it,
and those against It have a dif
ficult time. :
Literacy before the war, be
said, was approximately ; 25 per
cent. At present time it reaches
as high as IS per cent in the
urban population. Mass produc
tion by the masses Is the rule.
Theatre Bows to - "
General Trend , i "
' He pointed out the case ot the
theatre, which is used for prop
aganda, purpose. - There are no
leading roles and -the producers
strive for mass effect, crowds in
action. Playwrights must write
to suit this demand. Stage direct
or may shift acta about at will,
and the creative author can only
grin and bear it, ,
After Professor Winn had con
cluded hi talk, numerous Ques
tions were asked, bearing on the
Industrial and economic condi
tions. These Questions brought
out the information that the-gov-ernment
owns all the land and
leases it to independent farm
ers without cost for aa Indefin
ite period. But he said the inde
pendent farmer had a hard time
in competition with the state op
erated farms, some ot which were
100,000 acres to 700.000 acres In
extent. On these farms: the peas
ant worked: eight hours a day,
had free shows, and employment
winter and summer. .
