but not inteUeotual. Even kings of those days were often unable to write their names. Learning was confined almost entirely to the church. In the renaissance period Intellectual development was revived with the artistic, but the moral neglected, with conseque.it decadence. Im the present day we were aid to he In the midst of a great intellectual and moral awakening, but wiith a corresponding neglect of the ar Jstlc.

Prof. Hoiborn went so far as to say that the thing moat wrong with our modern clvilixatioa Is its Jack of love for the beautiful, a failure to appreciate its Importance. In nine cases out of ten, he believes, our social and economic problems are a result of this, and be claimed be could prove It logically. XXEAXIXG OF A GENTLEMAN. Beginning with Greece or Athens, which stands for the same thing he spoke of the important part beauty played la its best days, and gave an Atfhe.iian's understanding of what was meant by a gentleman.

It dad not mean a man with large property. Quite the contrary. A man with too much money was regarded In the same light as one using too much food or "too much drink or any other vulgar excess. lie was considered as a "rank outsider." The gertleraan was never rich, and little attention was paid to bis birth. If a man had a long line of ancestors who had served the 6tate well, he might secure "a hearing," but every man had to Judged toy his own attainments, his own merit.

A gentleman had to be both good and beautiful. This was admitted to have a strange sound In modern ears, and Socrates was ouoted as That great nhiloaooher declared that where vou find pauosopner aeciarea tnat where you nnd eel beauty, you must find goodness. By this was meant beauty of expression not regularity of feature. Character must show In the face. The Greeks held that the Inner man must be developed with the outer that neither must toe neglected.

Not only. It was said, do we often fail to realize that the inner man must show himself through the outer, hut also that this Is absolutely the only way we may see the Inner man. Socrates, who was the son of a sculiptor. realized this truth when he said: "The function of a sculptor is to portray character." "It is of stupendous importance to be able to express the Inner man through the outer," declared Prof. Hoiborn, "and the Greeks fully realized this.

They saw that a noble action was beautiful to contemplate, and a mean one ugiy to behold. They said the world must be divided Into two equal parts one-half Inner character, and the other the outward expression of the Inner." BEAUTY AND GOODNESS. To develop beauty of form, grace and i poise, the Greek boy studied athletics and dancing; also he was trained In standing, posing, gesticulating, and in facial expression, all of which greatly amplified his power of expressing the inner man. In speaking of the Intimacy which lies between beauty and goodness, great stress was laid upon the importance of beauty In life. Prof.

Hoiborn held that the reason for all our modern troubles lies In the fact that we do not distinguish between the beautiful and the good. "We are Incorrect when we term a book, a pic ture, a poem. good. It may not be good It Is beautiful. It Is true to say that all things which are good are beautiful, but not all things beautiful are good.

Heroic action Is beautiful not good. The flower la not good, hut beautiful. God who made It Is good. Nothing Is good wwcn nas not consciousness or volition. Sappho, the Greek poetess, was quoted as saying as translated who is beautiful, as far as we can see, is gooa.

He who ts good straightway becomes iitifuL" The Greeks were said to love beauty and believe in its importance so that they offered thanksgivings to the gods for any great expression of It. What we fail to grasp," said Prof. Hoiborn. "Is that tlhis love of the beautiful es not an Isolated charactertetle of life. It should be common to all ages and otvllf-setlona "KNOW THYSELF" -RwHmtfnr to the Greeks, he spoke of their temple at Delphi, on one end of whldh they Inscribed "Know Thyseix.

Less than a year ago he startled the whole I were seen on the streets of Athens than there were people. Their homes, as well as their temples and public buildings, were beautiful; even their culinary utensils were of such beauty that today we wrangle over the possession of a stray piece and give it the beat place in our collections.

"Imagine posterity coming to blows over one of our modern saucepans!" The beauty of Athenian processions, festivals and ceremonials was described. especially that to celebrate the birth of the goddess Athene, when beautiful maidens bore through the streets a most 1 beautiful robe, a if to the goddess, which they 'had been weaving for four years, since the last festival. They were followed by a guard of the beautiful youths, followed by other beautiful maidens, the whole forming a wonderful epetiacle. As to poetry and drama, that of the Greeks was said to lift us to a hisrh wlane. In Athens every man, bond and free, was i educated.

Every man loved poetry amd wrote it. "Imagine," it was said again, 1 "asking any man on our streets to write 1 a sonnet. How many know what a sonnet ist rmiwh h.iwr itn Tro-ltw unci" 'In organism the Athenian dramas were things of extraordinary beauty, wonderfully ibuflt up, and they were understood by the people. During the Golden Age 4,000 such dramas were produced. More remarkable still was the jury which judged these dramas -men chosen bv lot! What we attempt to do in the moral neia, Athene did in the intellectual! The real argument of the lecture rested upon the fact that the development of art nas oeen proved necessary to produce the be3t "type of man.

and that art in xne everyday lire of past ages 'has been found to 'be a nractieaJ thin.
