School Pleased with Presentation of
“Much Ado About Nothing” and
“Arms and the Man”
p e r f o r m a n c e of h ig h t y p e

The presentation -of Shakespeare’s
"Much Ado about (Nothing” and- Ber­
nard’s “Arms and the Man” by the
¡Clifford Devereux Company on the
campus yesterday afternoon and ev­
ening, charmed a large audience and
provided a -fitting climax to the enter­
tainments of the summer. In th-e after­
noon the company -gave the campus
the atmosphere ¡of the Shakespearean
period with their splendid rendition
of “Much Ado about Nothing.” “Arms
and Che Man” provided a delightful
evening -of worthwhile entertainment.
Clifford -Devereux as Benedict in
“Much Ado about (Nothing" captured
the admiration of th-e audience from
his first appearance on the stage an I
albly supported by Miss Graf proved
the truth' of the. saying that those who
are most -obstinate in the affairs of
the heart are those who, fall hardest.
The entire company gave a good ac­
count of itself and the play ended in a
crescendo of enthusiasto.
In' the evening, the success of the
afternoon was heightened- by the clev­
e r production of “Arms and the Man,”
the comedy satire in which Bernard
Shaw with vivid- realism- presents Che
ugly and prosaic side of love and war.
In giving this drama the entire com­
pany worked admirably together. Mr.
Devereux and Miss -Graf appeared to
great advantage, makin-g the most of
the many amusing situations which
arise all through the play.
The superiority of the business man
over noblemen and- those of so-called
gentle birth, in matters of war and
business was -strikingly- shlown. T.ie
Commercial Captain [Bluntschli whose
father owned- so many hotels and li very stables was more than a match
for the “uncivilized” Bulgarians who
prided themselves on their station in
life.

ident, Whrren G. Harding, were held

ernment. Today that is not sufficient.
Criminality, roads., streets, lights,'
health, beauty of our towns and simi­
lar subjects are included.
It was added that ' Civics has be­
come a more vital problem because
just a little over a hundred years'
ago we were controlled by a king.
We are no longer subjects but we are
now citizens.
Dr. Wolf went on by saying that we
are born with a strange mixture of
characteristics. If we are left to ourv selves we will not develop the charac­
teristics necessary to live interdependently.
The thought -immediately arises:
How are we to develop the good char­
acteristics? The answer is, through
the public schools and civic organiza­
tions.
The public school teacher must add
another weight to his already large
burden; because, first, the habits that
we want our future citizens to nave
must be .formed while they are young.
'Second, The school is the place to
learn this kind of thing. Geography,
Arithmetic, an'd 'Spelling can not solve
the situation. Hence a new subject,
that of Civics must be added to the
curriculum.
At the*close of Dr. Wlolf’s address
the superintendents of the counties
added a few remarks. Superintend­
ent Finafrock said “The teacher’s
greatest, opportunity for service is
teaching the new Civics.”
Superintendent Jacoby advanced the

THIEVERY IN THE SCHOOL

It is rather unfortunate that among large groups of students such as we
find here, there are always a few who,cannot distinguish their own property,
from -that of -others. Numerous complaints of petty (thefts (have been heard
throughout the summer from both dormitories. Articles have been taken
ranging in value from a few cents up to several dollars.
Wle feel that -this is the work of a very few people. (Some; united action
' should be taken to stamp out -a thing of this sort. Anyone whose moral cal­
iber is so low as to stoop to petty thievery has no place in an institution' of
this kind.
