Because of an increasing use of Ro- man in place of Gothic letters in Ger- many some six hundred men of em- inence in letters and science have pre- pared an appeal to their countrymen to hold to the old custom ,to maintain the 0ld type. They assert that the use of Roman characters is a surrender to foreign influence; that no man can be s true German if he yields to that weakness, That is but anether evidenes of the stubborness with whieh the old order holds its ewn against any innevation of a new age, The Gothic letter, a device of the Middle Ages, was ex- cellently adapted to the uses of monks, Who delighted in ormamental seript. A skiltul penman with a lifetime at his | disposal .in the quiet libraries of the monasteries could make a page of old English or German characters look more beautiful than a page of Latin script. - When worked out in inks of varlous colors and {lluminated with rich designs the possibilities of the old type wero many. But since there is no longer much demang for new works of that kind the old advantage has turned to disadvantage, The use. of Gothic typs makes the acquirement of German more difficult and the writing of German almost an impossible art to the average foreigner It also hampers the German himdelf. The tendency toward-using the simple Roman characters {s therefore not a wealk concession to the foreign ,but a wise regard for German convenience. To fight against it is to maintain a conservatism as futile as that which once attempted in this country to re- tain the old spelling of “honour” and “musick.” The world moves slowly to- ward simplicity, ‘but it moves steadily despite the learned.—New York World. Art Instinct of the Japan The opening of Japan has revealed to the lovers of art another world of cultured spirit of refinement ,the same delicacy of line, the same fidelity to nature and the same feeling of res- traint which characterizes the master- pieces of Hellenio art, Quite true is it, indeed, that these masterpleces have not yet been surpassed, or even equal- ed; but in one respsct ,and that the most_important which ean be named, the Japanese have surpassed the Greeks in the development of art in- stinct, in ‘that with them it has be- come the possession of a whele people. Possibly the Greeks may have been | cook or the washerwoman as ¢ endowed with such a universal In- stinct for art production and art ap- preclation, but certain it is that there is no other nation today living in which artistic taste and aptitude are more generally diffused than in Japan. Not only are the commonest kitchen utensils molded into forms of exquisite beauty by Japanese artisans, but it is also very unusual to find even a coolie who 18 not in some way a capable artist. To this so competent an authority as Professor Chamber- lain bears testimony In saying that it is to the common people that the forelgner in Japan must go for those lessons in proportion, fitness and so- briety which Greece once knew 8o well.
