Wicks Answers Question, “What Is Education?”

By THE VISITOR DUCATION is the training which enables us to live and get most out of life," is the answer given to the question “What Is Education'?” by Dr. Frank S. C. Wicks in the new number of the Indianapolis Unitarian Bulletin. While Sunday services have been suspended during the month, of August at the All Souls Unitarian Church. Dr. Wicks publishes a few sermon thoughts in the bulletin. In discussing the subject, Dr. Wicks continues: “It brings to us the knowledge which enables us to adjust ourselves to the conditions of existence. Its first question is “What are the demands of life?” It adjusts itself to those demands. The first demand of life is for adjustment to physical conditions. It Insists upon a knowledge of the human frame and all of its functions, not omitting that function by which a sound body may be transmitted to anew generation. At its lowest It demands that man shall be a good animal. At its highest it means fatherhood and motherhood. Are we treating boys and girls as potential parents? We answer with a blush and end with an averted face. “The second demand is for economic adjustment. Man lives by bread and he must be taught how to get bread. This means that education has a homely bread and butter side. Every boy and girl should be trained to some bread-winning occupation. “The third demand is for social adjustment. We live in a world of men, and our safety, well being and happiness depend upon our living harmoniously with cur fellows. We must lv taught how to fit into the social fabric. The fourth demand of life is for political adjustmert. We are citizens. We are called upon to take our part in the government of a great country. If we bring intelligence and character into it. it will prosper. But if w r e bring ignorance and selfishness and prejudice into it, we blight the land. We must be taught how to solve great problems intelligently. “The fifth demand of life is for spiritual adjustment. We should get from life the gratifications which come from art, literature and music. We should get the strength and inspiration which come from religion. “Man lives by bread, but not by bread alone. He Uvea by love and beauty and song, and the rapturous pursuit of truth. He lives by aspiration and worship: Education should meet us here as it met with our primal wants. “Education begins with the utili’ies: it ends with the graces: it opens upon culture, for it is culture that, makes life most satisfying, culture of mind and soul is the real master Os the universe. To him, all lands bring their tribute. • The rky is his. For him the birds sing: for him the flowers blQom. Everything in the universe brings him a message, for he is in tune with the universe.

A Birthday and Its Local Meaning in Movieland

By WALTER D. HICKMAN j _ | UILDING an institution is a I O b * s undertaking. Lr_l An institution is no “bigger” than the men and women who control it. It character, life, purpose and a fine regard for the feelings of others. It must be human. If not, it will be only a pile of brick and stone. The Circle Theater Is entering upon its eighth year. In that time it has become an institution, a factor of the amusement ’life of the city. It is a big human organization always attempting to elevate the show profession to a high standard. , The Circle with its large symphony orchestra and competent directors has done real service in promoting and increasing our appreciation for better music. This to me is the outstanding feature of the many achievements of the Circle Theater as an institution. Modest Altschuler is present conductor of the Circle orchestra. Those who have preceded him are: S. Leopold Kohls, Rudolf Kafka, Ernest Schmidt, Ernesta Natiello and Max Weil. It is this vision or the glory of good music which has established to a great extent the national reputation of this theater. The first, manager was S. Barrett McCormick wh® introduced at the Circle the influence that the dance and ballet has on photoplay entertainment. Then under the management of Ralph W. Lieber the Circle orchestra had its most, progressive growth. Ace Berry is now piloting the destiny of t!Te theater aB manager. Ben F. Caldwell is at present production and art director. Frank Zlmmerer and W. Hurley Ashbfr were former art directors. The first picture presented at the Circle was Bessie Barrtscale In “Home.” Since the opening. D. W. Griffith has been represented with “The Birth of a Nation,” "Intolerance,” "Broken Blossoms,” “The Idol Dancer." “The Love Flower” and "One Exciting Night." Other* features have been “The Fall of the Romanoffs,’ “My Four Years In Germany,” “On the Italian Battle Front.” “Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea,” “The Miracle Man," “Male and Female,” “Passion,” "Theo dora" and Anita Stewart in 'ln Old Kentucky.” Nazlmova has appeared in "The Red Lantern.” “Out of the Fog,” "Revelation” and “War Brides ” Chaplin will be remembered for “Sunnyside."
