STANDARDIZED PATTERNS AND VAST

CONDITIONS in industries rocl at

Drodurtion." as a means of reducinr. nnit osata of manu
facture. Neceaaarilj the problem of marketing undergoes
changes for instead of trying to sell many different articles.
the mannfaeturing world is trying ta sen larger uuaatmes
of fewer pattern.
The result of such changes may be favorable to money
making but the race loaea something aerertheteea. He-
inanity enjoy in proportion to the correctness as well ae
the diversity ef its tastes sad not merely m uroperrion to
the quantity acquired or uiaauiaid. A "asaare aaaf fat
an educated body is not a vast helping of two or three
staples bat rather a strffidency in considerable variety.
Similarly in all the activities of rife pleasure is nt in-
sured by surfeit in deadly darneas bnt by the aUmeJw of
seeking the unusual and the true and choosing at win
among many offerings.
Of an the differences between American and European
life and esthetic standards which strike the eeaaaarative
student there is none more netaMe than the fact that
Europe has a much more varieat Hfe than America; that in
Europe there is greater variety is things and in ways at
using things; nmrh greater variety ia tastes and in ways
of indulging tastes.
Europe has not yet standardised her patterns or widely
adopted quantity production. Tins is to be taken in a
figurative aa weB as a Bteral sense.
The suggestion stay apply equally ta objects and to
persona. In the average American community there b a
comparatively aasaH choice. One ia expected to $0 ST not do
certain well defined things one most aot depart from the
accepted ways. Whether in conduct ex in choice of fur-
nishings for a borne or in selecting means of amusement
we Americana are largely standardised.
For one thing it costs abominably to depart from the
standardised patterns. If we plan a house every time we
suggest the least thing out of the rut the arcMteet smiles
and warns the contractor smiles and warns the workman
smiles and warns and reluctantly one after another we
must give up aB ef our lonr cherished little preferences and
take what we can get within the standardised prise. But
in so many coromrmities of the old world there ia no pat
tern. Everybody teems to have nut
This is partly a result of our industrial system onr
great factories and our closely organised labor. If a man
wants a wrought iron grill in a Spanish town for example
ae walks a Maple of blocks sown the
sketch for as artisan and gets his grill
tins country it is a huge price for a design or an elaborate
catalog and a pries from $500 to $50000 for a window or
a gate.
If we want a bit of carved atone or aa artistically
bound book or a special piece of fassftst it is ta send
3000 miles for at or perhaps import werkaea ta da it and
pay half a year's income. But in any little town of the
old world one can hand these fhfags over ta a neighbor and
watch him while he works joyously In creatiag: soraething
wwen he pnses as part of liiasspn.
We have movies and some other thing bnt after all
there ia little vaiiaty to be had hi ajsasemeata except in
the largest centers and we do not know haw to make ear
fun for ourselves aa more utiutaUve peoples do (primitive
from our ataaaaarat of "etliue .).
And is education we certainly offer
elect ives and "practical" courses sat we aa net perhaps
induce our young charges to take that joy in digging and
delving far immortal truth aa the more primitive eauee-
cational systems and educators do. We may teach our
youths to make a living but do we teach them how to lire?
CathefieKy of taste wide rntefleetael aad spirit aal eon

think these are characteristic Anaerfeaa traits but seme-
times one is disposed ta doubt it. Canoed art sensed
music canned furaitare canned history canned amuse-
ments canned flesrarure oaaned morals we are either
easily pleased or else we are easily terrorised.
And now the word goes out from the experts ia "effi-
ciency" that we must drop at least half of ear patterns
and double the output of those that are left ia order te
restore aa economic balance.
We seem to be aa drternsiaed to standardise patters ia

It is 1000 years old and its 700 year old
Gothic church still stands though badly
damaged.
The om enuren at meuiouard is of
beautiful stone arch work of Roman-
esque architecture. Tradition has it that
Jeanne d'Are visited this church and
thai her squire John of Mets was really
John of Dieulooard. In the crypt of
the church is Joanne's little chapel with
nrkms very ancient images of Jeanne
and her squire. On her banner is in-
scribed THeu le wart" which may be
translated from old French dialect as
either "God awaits thee" or "God
watcheth thee." It is an old inscrip-
tion used in the coat of anna of an-
cient bishops of Lorraine and it is
safe to say tbe town gets its name
from this phrase. The inscription on
Jeanne's banner as generally given br
historians and in pictures is "Dieu le
Vent" or "God wilts it." but ome old
prints have it "Dieu le wart " In any
event it is easy to see how the motto
might hsve been changed in the S'ee-h j
of peasants. Here tltey show you the 1

"Come along thenf" Invited Tfnele

Nurse Jane. T have some chocolate

"That will be nice." said Uncle Wig-

"Any bird- apok Uncle Wlgglly.
"Well. I don't know. I have nun

Then all of a sudden. Uncle Wlg-

and started ta hop away as fast as
he eon Id hop at th same time cry-
ing: "Com on. Name Jane! Come on!"
"What for?" aaked the muekrat
lady. "I don't see any danger. Neither

"No. but do you see those two tufts

Uncle Wlgglly.
"Tee. I see them." whispered Nars
Jane as she caught eight of two

"Well they are on the ears of the

Wlgglly. pulling at Nurse Jane's
paw. "Bob Cat saaaea me once and
he'll do it again. I know Bob Cat by
