When a now famous specialist began
the practice of medicine as a young
man he numbered among his first pa-
Hants a certain Mr. Dardle of Woon-
socket, R. I. For a time the young phy-
sician treated his patient successfully
for a very painful tumor on the neck,
says the Boston Herald.
One day the doctor called to inquire
they have reached it then they are
secure. Money is not everything to
those of our profession, but without
the proposed theater, which at once
establishes a standard, there is noth-
ing for us to work for."
How would such a theater be con-
trolled so that no partiality in plays
and players will be shown? I asked.
"I would have it controlled by an
advisory board,” said Mr. Warde,
"which would appoint a director, who
has no Interest ,in any plays, play-
houses or players. To him I would
delegate the task of selecting the
piays and the caste, subject to the
app’oval of the advisory board.. On
this board I would have a large num-
ber, say thirty actors, whose author-
ity should" be absolute. In this way I
think the theater could be conducted
without any favoritism.

takes for his creed: "There is no sin except the sin of

We see idols shattered all around us these days. We are
witnessing a revolution of popular ideals. We are more

But in the race, as it is being run today, there is no such

permanent provision is made is about
190, and no doubt this maximum will

elapsed.
In the election of qQholars the only
qualifying test in scholarahip fixed by
tlie trustees is the Oxford responslons
Blund»rd. An exception to this rule
has hitherto been made in the cae of
South Africa and one or two Ausira-
fan colonis, but after this year the
test will be everywhere applied, ex-
cept in .Germany*, where the selection
of scholars was assigned by Mr. Rhodes
to the emperor himself. In sil other
cases a local committee of selection,
usually composed of educational ex-
perts and sometimes of a school or
Eniversity faculty, completes Lic eiu-
t.on from among the candidates who
have passed the preliminary test; and
tefse committees are directed to select
or the basis suggested by Mr. Rhodes,
i ney are free to apply for purposes of
cemparison any further educational or
other test they think desirable beyond
that exacted by the trustees.

or less moral and mental equipment, are living lives of
ease, women of society, queens in a r»Ajw which to this
poor, deluded creature If heaven itself. Shels taught to
aspire to be “rich and fine." She is told of the luxuries of
wealth and position, and she sees its exterior glamor all
about her. She seeks to rise, and is caught in the meshes
of that net of living lies. When the soul is deadened,
when conscience has ceased to Bend its tale of remorse
back into that soul, she becomes a part of the world of

combating circumstance. Her creed becomes the doctrine
that the only sin in the world is the sin of being found out.
Being Found Out.
Not many years ago, the newspapers tell us that a loving
father took a boy upon his knee and told him the story of
the rise of a railroad magnate who occupies a place in the
United States senate. He told the boy that his ideal was
in the "same direction, and started him in life as a clerk in
a bank. Before this young man was his ideal, an ideal
now shattered. The boy is still working in the bank. He
knows now the secrets of high finance. He knows the

tion have had some university experi-
ence before coming to Oxford, and many
have already taken a degree. The av-
erage of age is, however, not more
than two years above that of the ordi-
nary English schoolboy who enters the
university: and this difference proba-
bly does little more than balance the dir- '
ference of educational advantage, £ince
there is a general admission on the
part of the scholars that on entering
college the well trained English under-
graduate knows his work more thor-
oughly than the average Rhodes scholar.
As the result of the first year's experi-
ence there seems to be a consensus of
opinion among the men themselves that
it would be unwise to appoint to schol-
arships directly from the colonial and
American secondary schools, a question
still keenly discussed in some centers
of selection, and concerning which the '
trustees for the present keep an open '
mind while observing results.
Some difficulty has naturally been ,
met with by scholars in making their
Oxford course continuous with the pre-
ceding university work taken at home;
but this will probably be lessened as the
conditions upon which advanced stand-
ing is allowed to become clearly de-
fined. or as ths organisation of post
graduate work at Oxford makes prog-
ress. ।
The problem of the long vacatfon, very
different for the Rhodes scholar far
away from his home base than for the
English undergraduate, has been met in
various ways. A few Canadian and
American scholars crossed the Atlantic
to spend the holiday at home. Many .
Joined reading parties in England, Scot-
land or Wales. A very considerable
number spent the summer on the conti-
nent especially with a view to the ac- ,
quisitjon of French and German. The
fact that few are likely to return home ,
during the whole of their university
course has been one of the strongest
arguments for the selection •f scholars ।
somewhat older th* n the av-rage under-

to his scholars—to quote lis own—“for

The possibility that the scholarships

Bishop Grace of the Roman Catholio
church In Calitornia AM been visiuins
the leading character hundreds of times,
he still finds pleasure in treading it
again and again. As he told me after-
wards, the more he reads the plays the
more he learns about them and their
author that even he did not know be-
fore.
Mr. Warde welcomed me with a
hearty handshake and the cordiality
characteristic of the courtly gentleman
of the old English school. He is a
willing and interesting talker, and one
that it is a pleasure to interview. He
is extremely weli read and can talk
learnedly on any subject one cares to
bring up.
“I have come up to talk to you about
the proposed national theater," I began,
after he had motioned me to a big, com-
fortable arm chair, “and to have you
give me your views on it. What do you
tink of it?"
By the expression of his face as it
lighted up on th mention of the na-
tional theater I could see that the sub-
ject is one that he is greatly interested
in, and his answer was equally as con-
vincing as his look.
“A national theater is a thing we
should have- by all means," he replied,
“and I hope to see it accomplished soon.
Once we nave one we have established
a standard for American plays, players
and writers; a goal for them to work
for. It ill give them an incentive for
better endeavor other than a mone-
tary consideration.
"We should have such a theater
presenting the best plays, typically
American, and produced by the best
players. It should be so controlled that
only the best talent is employed and
stand for all that is best in American
drama and literature. A theater of that
kind will elevate the stage in this coun-
try. and give the actor a position in the
world that he has not heretofore had.
“You can readily see what it will
mean to the profession. The actor or
actress that is striving to better his
or her position will have a position In
the East at the national theater to
look forward to and.to attain. Opre

theater playing the best of American
plays will encourage playwrights to
write suitable plays for production in
that theater. Of course It is a diffi-
cult matter for writers to take a sub-
ject distinctly American and produce
a drama from it, because our country
is so new.
"At present we have no plays that
can be called characteristic of this
country. The nearest approach to It
that I can recall at the present mo-
ment is 'Davy Crockett." Still that
does not give us all that is typical of
our characters, habits and condi-

"As a matter of fact," I interrupted.

to write a play that will be charac-

"That is very true. Indeed," he
agreed. “You take the people of the
