A reminder of Elbert Hubbard, victim of the Lusitania, Is contained in this paragraph in a New York paper: "At East Aurora the Roycrofters continue to flourish. Their annual convention is as usuaL But no invitation is necessary to attend IL Anyone who goes there is welcomed and the speakers Include you if you want to speak. That’s th* Roycroft idea. The notables are scheduled, but in the grove the open-air theater is an open forum. Any subject goes. We hear that the work phase of the Roycrofters is the big thing now. Which as we recall It was Hubbard’S hope, A. place where everything that was made was first useful and then beautiful. He used to say, *lf it’s useful it is beautiful, but many useful things can be made more beautiful. That’s what we want to do.’ *
