INTRODUCING-
(By Ruth Canary)
PAGEANT PROFITS WILL GO TO U. S. C.
For some weeks past we have been introducing to you interesting personages acquired by the University, but recently and merely for the time being. Today we take great pleasure and not a little pride in presenting to you a bit of fame all our own—an interesting personage we already had with us and one whom wre hope to keep with us— well, from' now on, Jose Pijoan.
Professor Pijoan, who received most of his education in Spain at the Uni-versidad de Barcelona and the Uni-versidad de Roma, has attained much success and recognition as an author, editor and lecturer. Included in his best-known writings are: “Les Pin-tures Murah Catalanes, Album,” a text with beautiful colored plates of paintings; “Les Miniatures del Pentateuch de les Bibiles Romantiques,” with illustrations of the Pentateuch; “Els Edu-cadors de Cataluvna,” containing biographical notices of famous old builders and writers, and several others. Professor Pijoan’s “Premier Libre de Lectura,” a Catalan reader, has been officially adopted in the public schools of the state, and has been immensely popular.
At present the professor is busily engaged in getting out a second edition of his remarkable “Historia del Arte,” 3 volumes, which is to be translated soon into English. This series of books, which has been extensively used as a text at Princeton University, covers the history of art from the earliest times, and is beautifully illustrated with many reproductions of the world’s greatest artistic masterpieces.
Professor Pijoan is intensely interested in the educational problem among his countrymen, and feels keenly the lack of intellectual influences in Spain.
“Spain wants to establish schools and educate her young people, but she can find no instructors. Over there wTe do not need even a school house or a desk or a blackboard. We could teach out under the trees—if we only had teachers!
“And we wrill have them some day. Already there is a great movement afoot to encourage the young people of Spain to educate themselves in the great university centers of nearby countries. Then they will come back equipped to take part in the great task of establishing great educational centers throughout Spain.
“Spain needs ten thousand schools, but she must have ten thousand teachers first, and at least two thousand university instructors. It is going to be a long, hard pull, and the great change for better cultural facilities can come but gradually, yet I feel sure that it will come eventually.”
Professor Pijoan has been one of the most popular instructors in the Spanish department since joining the university staff of teachers, and as a member of the Summer Session faculty is giving courses in “Advanced Conversation and Composition,” and “The Masterpieces of Spanish Literature.”
The University of Southern California will be the beneficiary of the proceeds of “The Wayfarer,” the entire profit being awarded to the endowment campaign committee, as “The Wayfarer” is a non-profit organization.
The United States Army and Navy will furnish marines, soldiers and sailors for the production of “The Wayfarer” in Los Angeles Coliseum on September 8 to 15. These will be used

The Navy will also furnish from Bremerton yard sixteen searchlights 40 inches in diameter to light the big stage, which will have a 100-foot proscenium and be 200 feet wide. This stage, which will cost $14,000 to construct, will be erected as* soon as the Monroe Centennial Exposition is out of the way at Exposition Park.
A flock of sheep has been loaned to “The Wayfarer” for Episode Two, which is the Birth of Christ scene, with pastoral setting, where the shepherds may be seen putting the sheep into the fold before the Wise Men come.
The entire equipment and investiture of the production totaling a valuation of $300,000, is now on the way to Los Angeles.

MORAL DUTY TO BE INTELLIGENT DECLARES MIMS
“The moral obligation to be intelligent is as great as the moral obligation to be good,” declared Dr. Edwin Mims, professor of English at Vanderbilt University, in an address before twelve hundred teachers and students at Bovard Auditorium Tuesday.
Dr. Mims criticised modem Christian educational schools for their tendency to emphasize the word Christian and to minimize the value of education, saying that such an attitude on the part of instructors makes for physical laziness, mental flabbiness and an indifference that amounts to irresponsibility.
“Man is not composed of three parts —body, mind and soul,” said the speaker. “The soul is a unit. It is the soul that feels, thinks, wills and acts, and to save the soul of a man means the salvation of his entire being. Woe to that soul that comes into the presence of the Eternal with warped consciousness and writh ignorance written upon its brow.
“It is our business as teachers to train the intelligence, to develop in the student the power to think, to seek the lamp of wisdom for ourselves and to hold the light aloft for those who

The Extension Bulletin will be pub-ished this month and distributed to a mailing list of twenty-five thousand.
The same conditions govern the granting of University credit in the Extension Department as are in force in the colleges and departments on the Campus.

We see once more fair dame and gallant gay,
The glamour and the grace of yesterday,
The elder brighter age of pomp and pride.
ERNEST DOWSON.
To criticize “The Critic,” by Richard
Brinsley Sheridan, produced last night in Bovard Auditorium under the direction of Gilmor Brown, is unnecessary. The details were so admirably handled that the play cannot be judged by amateur standards.
The finer appreciation of Sheridan by the players evidently resulted in the comprehensive production. Through the entire performance could be seen Gilmor Brown’s guiding hand. Guiding, but not leading, toward the delightful effect.
The atmosphere created was excellent despite the coldness of the house, which is difficult to play in.

ART EXHIBIT
One department which has given the most tangible results during the Summer Session is that of the Art Department, where Miss Fannie Kerns and her group of earnest art students assemble daily. It seems hardly conceivable that in the short term of six weeks such an exhibition of excellent art work could be the result. It covers the walls of three rooms. It is also gratifying to see the interest shown by all the other departments in the exhibition three-fourths of the students and faculty have visited the art rooms and are loud in their praises.
