All the graduates dressed in white, marched in like soldiers, one behind the other. We sat down in our seats and soon the principal came up on the plat- rons and started to ead the “holy e. ee we all stood up and sang “The Star Spangled Banner.” Also gave | | the "sietee to the American flag.

Where is the freedom, and golden opportunity this ;country has to give us?” sl “What | i ; Were they given justice?” “What about the different strikers that were brutally beaten by the po- lice?” “Is this freedom?” , And so the program stretched with- out a smile. We must sit for three hours and quiet as mice. } At last the diplomas were handed | out by a priest. What made me laugh was when one girl was presented al character medal, The teachers never | notice the qualities of the children | and then at the end of the term they are able to sele¢t one girl out of one hundred who has the best character. | You can imagine what kind of girl |she is, Really the dumbest in the With. great impatience we arrived | jat the happy time when with great ceremony we slowly marched out of the auditorium and went home.

The rules gov- erning this award have changed con- stantly since it was founded in mem- ory of Schiller’s hundredth birthday on November 10, 1859. For twenty years no work of suffi- cient importance to receive the prize was produced in Germany. Twelve have passed since it was last bestowed. The present committee of nine, con- sisting of University professors, liter- ary men, and actors, have awarded it to three men whose work they declare tc be equally meritorious—Hermann Purte, Fritz von Unruh, and Franz Werfel. The choice is significant of a gen- eral dissatisfaction with the pre-war Germany that has been portrayed in None of the thre a good dramatist, but all are enthusiasts, and all are pepired by: the struggles between th« la new, the eternal conflict Sateen father and son, the bitter fare waged for an ideal, tha pity and horror of death and devastation, and} | the longing for liberty of body and ‘spirit. Their burning convictions on these subjects have ensured them all a success in post-war Germany that | - | would not have been so general in the | old days, Hermann Burte, a South German. is best known on the Berlin stage for drama of Frederick the Great’s | riend “Katte”. His plays are popular in Germany and on the continent.

Many ogee have fol- lowed their Inader Dos in th so-ealled “school of pity.” Werfel stands alone in his power of subjugat- ing the intellect to the emotions. His drama of the ex-Empress Charlotte ranks higher than “The Trojan Wom- en,” his principal earlier dramatic work of importance. Werfels’ “Goat Song” and “Maximil ian and Juanez” were produced here OPERA EXTENDS RUN WITH A WEEK OF “FAUST” AND “CARMEN” AMERICAN The American Opera Company will present its new version of Gounod’s “Faust” at the Gallo Thea- addition of Bizet’s “Carmen” and one performance of Flotow’s “Martha.” This constitutes an added week to the American company’s first New York season.
