Last Thursday marked the opening of definite plans that will eventually be the realiza- tion of a Nationality Park that is to reflect the character of the Slovenes. It vvas a suc- cess of the finest kind. Much work was accomplished on the basis of vvhich ali future work and propaganda will be based so that the Nationality Garden wi.ll be a reality. Members of the various lodges and other Slov r enes who are interested in the idea came to be present and presented some ideas on which work will be done. The idea of a monument to the Slovenes in Cleveland in the form of a garden is a novel one and one that is interesting many people not only in Cleveland but outside. It is doubly inter¬ esting from the fact that this is the first city that has taken such active interest in the na- tionalities that compose its cos- mopolitan character. Thurs- days meeting \vas the first step that has been taken by the Slo¬ venes themselves after the offer that was made by the adminis- tration of the city of Cleveland through its Park Division. Ac- tual plans and committees have been appointed and the work will go on to a successful con- clusion. The most tbrilling event of the evening vvas the initial gift that came with the announce- ment that Mr. Božidar Jakac will give two of his art pieces toward the idea. He also gave $10 in cash and with his gifts he opened a way to a solution. His announcements came unex- pectedly and they received an ovation. Nor are the gifts his only contribution to the affair. His interest was aroused, he said and will also be instrumen- tal in arousing interest in the Old Country among his artist friends and v/ith them to con- tribute to the success of the park there is no reason that the Slovenes should not have some- thing that will be a pride to everyone who has the honor of being a Slovene and will be one of the best things in the vvhole arrangement. The meeting was opened by Mr. Anton Grdina who vvas in close touch with the city offi- cials and after the opening he ceded his chair to Mr. Vatro Grili, editor of Enakopravnost, as temporary cihairman. Mr. Ivan Zupan editor of the K. S- K. J. glasilo vvas appointed as temporary secretary. The Garden idea was accept- ed by the assembly after which committees vvere appointed to supervise the more detailed parts of the campaign vvhich will follow shortly. In the discussion of Jugoslav or Soleven as the name of the Garden Mr. J. B. Mihakievich statecl that it made no differ- ence to him whether it was one or the other eventually the Gar¬ den would be for the use of ali. He also pledges the aid of the Croatians and the Serbians of the City. A committee was appointed who would be responsible for the \vhole affair.

The end of the semester is drawing near and the traditionai annual play is being rehearsed so that it will be another mark set up for the achievements of the junior Slovene School. It is surprising at the manner that little tots go about their play for with them is not a good time and in their way it is most important thing that \vas ever undertaken. Childish and very amateurish as a production like it must be there is a subtle špirit of doing behind it ali the in- spired awe to the onlooker. Mis- Turn to Page Four inite information. The “Dumb Musician” is a one act comedy, consisting of more humor tban what is seen in an ordinary com- edy. It will be presented at the Slov. Societv Home, Recher Ave. at 7 P. M. next Sunday. Be- sides this performance there wjll also be another one act play, the name of vvhich is “Ma- gician.” You mav be sure to see some magical vvorks per- formed, the magician being in the person of Mr. John Korošec. Both performances, though short will be very interesting and humorous. Dancing and a good time will follovv the pro¬ gram. Segulin’s mušic will furnish the melodies for danc¬ ing. Admission to the perform¬ ances and dancing is 50c, onlv for dancing 25c. There has been felt a need that ali the painting of the Slo¬ vene Home be placed where they may be more appreciated and be exhibited to greater advantage than thev have been in the past. To do this the Cultural commit¬ tee in the last session has dis- cussed the advisa'bility of pro- curing a room vvhere a gallerv could be made and the pictures that belong to the home could be hung in such a manner that thev vvould do justice to the ar- tists who vvorked on them. Though no definite conclu- sions of the final outcome have been reached there was talk of setting aside upper hali No. 2 4 for that purpose. The Cultural committee has no povver to be the final judge in the matter so the recommendation has been referred to the Directory of the Home. The idea seems appropriate since the number of pictures is increasing with every exhibit that is held in the Home. April 13 is dravving close now and the Passion Plavers are digging harder and harder to make evervthing readv for the performance vvhich they have been vvorking on for several months. One scene at a time is th espeed that the play is now going on. Not onlv the acotrs but ali the property men and ali the stage hands are novv in the most intensive part of the prep¬ arations. Last Mondav and Wednesday evening only four acts were re¬ hearsed and the others are to be taken as soon as possjble but in the last moment preparation there is a business like atmos- phere connected wit‘h everything that speaks of something more than amateurism. The Passion Plav opens vvith the scene of a triumphal entry of Christ into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday. Serene, calm, and at the same time popmous the opening as vvell as the closing are impressive and avve inspir- ing. Even at the rehearsals vvhen many stops and many corrections are, are necessary in spite of it ali the action seems more absorbing vvith every new repetition. It is ev- ident that the Passion Players are in serious earnestness in pre- senting the plays in the best from possible. Even the chil¬ dren and there are many of them, it seems that there are hundreds of them as there are many vvhenever some excitement takes plače have caught the špirit of the'action and in the mob scene that takes plače in the first act they act as a real mob, nothing is unnatural about them at ali. Dignity and pomp in the first act are supplied by the entrance of the Apostles vvho accompany the Chirstus the other pompous party is the body of the priests vvho do not par- take in the action very much in the earlv scenes but who by their verv presence add a great deal of dignity to the vvhole per¬ formance. The second act or rather it should be called scene is the Last Supper scene very sedate and very solemn vvith the atmosphere such as the one that must have taken plače on the first of the memorable occa- sions. The dignitv of the Ohristus and of the Apostles in the scene is one of the most memorable of the vvhole first part of the Passion plav. Other scenes are as inspiring but just¬ ice cannot be done in narration j but rather in seeing of the vvhole performance.

They are not that. Every census taker has a set of questions thathe is required to ask and the people are expected to give information completely and honest ly. There should be no fear in answering for ali answers are considered strictly confidential. Besides being a numeration of the inhabitants of the eountry the census hopes to get figures on the relative wealth of the country and the manner of life of ali the inhabitants. For ali of those who are tither foreign born or who are decendents of »the foreign born, ouestions 13 and 14 will be important. They deal with the plače of birth of ali foreign born persons. The answers will be of many kinds depending on the country in which the birthplaces are. Especially in the post war distribution of lands there willl be many changes. For the- Slovenes there will be manv who will be forced to answer Italy as a birthplace if the territory in which they were born is a part of Italy now. The answer to the question will be dependent on the present governrnental control of the districts that have changed hands since the last war. The most important question in the vdiole question- naire is the mother tongue information question which also Vili be asked. The statement'that the birthplace is in Italy or in Hungary or any other country woukl lead to the conclusion that the people are Italian, Hungarian or Austrian as the čase may be. .That, however, would not teil the tratil and would be an injustice to the people who are unwillingly in the domains of countries.

T. SUHADOLNIK The Catholic Reform did not begin to show any activitj 7 in the literary field until the Reform commit- tees had completed their work and the whole popula- tion v/as again won to the Catholic faith. And even at that time there was not an over abundance of activitv. The era is marked by only 2 men who can be mention¬ ed as being active in the field. They were Thomas Hren (Chrbn) and John Čandek a Jesuit. Thomas Hren born in 1&60, was the son of a protestant minister who later became the mayor of Ljubljana. As a boy he ■ was sent to Vienna to study under the tutlege of an uncle Gašper Žitnik. Aecording to the mother’s v/ish he was brought up in the Catholic religion and stuclied in Vienna, at Admont and at the Jesuit coliege at Gra¬ dec. In 1579 he went to the University of Vienna to study Latin poetry and in 1585 he v/ent to Padova to. study science. His plans did not work as he intended them because he fell very ill in Ljubljana in 1588 and after his convalescence h.e cinsecrated himself to the priesthood. In 1588 he was made priest and in the same year he came to Ljubljana as q cannon at the 'Cathedral and also cccupied the pulpit as a preacher. In 1596 v/hen 'Biehop Tavčar died he became tbe admin¬ istrator of the Diocese of Ljubljana. In 1599 Duke Ferdinand appointed him as bishop of Ljubljana and the appointment v/as confirmed by the Pope and was officially consecrated at Gradec in 1600. He was the head of the Catholic reform committee when it was e- tablished by the Duke Ferdinand. He v/as, as waS the aese in femhd times, the temporal representative c .f the Dukes, interested in the Interior of Austria from 1614 to 1621. Hc died in 1680. Hren intended to furnish a catechism on the style of Kanili j, a gospela and epistles for Sundays and Holidays and a hymnal, written in imitation of the Fathers of the Church. Unfortunately the loaning of the manuseripts has been the cause of its loss. Hren relayed that the carelessness of those who asked per- mission of :opying was responsible for the non-print- ing of manuseripts which were already to go to press. Hern was the Champion of the printed book and for that matter he was alone in the large field which seemed filled with hardships. He was very much glad- dened when John Čandek, a Jesuit scholastic studying at Gradec, sent him the manuseripts of “Evangelia inu Lystuvi” done after the v/ork of Dalmatin, which Hren read and made ready for publication. The “Gos- pels and Epistles” were published at Gradec in 1613. The publication was an official Diocesean edition vvhich was printed in three thousand copies. The lan- guage of the. books is almost identical with that of Dalmatin and is changed in those places where it does not jibe with the Vulgate. In the beginning of the Gospels is adcled the iritroductory phrase of the Missal. At that time the most interesting and at the same time the most valuable addition in the book is the substitution of the Germanicism of Dalmatin with genuine Slovene words whic’h have been in the mean- liomin Breviery, and taken from the sources of the time developed. The credit of the work is due to Pater Maliji who suggested the substitutions. It is evident from the changges that were made that it was difficult at times to get the proper expressions that woulcl sat- isfy the German expressions and though ali the vvoirds vvere not incorporated in the written language thej' have been a marked advance in the literary progress of the Slovene. The movement is an improvemeht pf Dalmatin even though it v/as done on a small scale. Chandek’3 v/ork is responsible for the publication of the catechism of Kanizij, which was published in preference to the catechism of Hren and appeared in 1618. No copies of the book are extant. Besides the publication of the catechism Bishop Hren intended to issue a copy of the Hymnal but as v/ith the other works he did not lose his ambition. In 1615 he sent Chandek a letter urging hasiened vvork and with the pressure of the Papal Nuntio he pushed the work v/ith vigor but tbe manuseripts and the book became forggotten and the \vork never ap- i 'pedred. About this period Hren wished to founcl a print- ery in Ljubljana and even purchased many fonts of type but the print shop was never established. It is probable that he proposed the v/ork of founding to the Jesuits who, ho\vever, felt that they were not readj r to do that sort of work. Besides the Epistles and Gospels and the cate¬ chism the work of Čandek is also noticed in the Small Catechism which was published with some very elab¬ orate \voodcuts and which the Jesuits published at Augsburg in 1615. John Čandek was born'in Višnja Gora about the year 1583. At the age of 18 he joined the Jesuit order and devoted himself to scientific work. He was the professor at the Gymnasium at Ljubljana and in 1610 he went to Gradec to study Theology. In 1613 he was consecrated priest and had charge of a par- ish in Ljubljana. Record of his sermons show that ir. his intineraries he also was active in Clelovec, In 1624 he was sent to Gradac where he died of infeetions he contraeted while making his sick rounds. The Catholic Reform in Slovenia received the sup- port of the Jesuits who, as has been seen, vvere active in the publication pf the three books that vvere pub¬ lished at that time. That, hov/e ver, is npt the sum total of their activities. The sole object was to teach vvhich they did very effectively and aside from their activitv in. the sc-hools they took a lively interest in 'Slovene. Thev preached in Slovene, taught the doctrine of the Catholic in .Slovene. In their schcol they enceuraged the studying of Slovene songs and vvere very insistant in having their pupils knovv puhlic speaking and puh¬ lic declamation. The puhlic exposition of this activitv' led to public demonstrations, in public debates and other form s of puhlic exnibition. One of the forms of public declamation v/as tbe presentation of plays that have proved to be builders in public speaking. In the beginning only Latin plajrs vvere used but about 1698 there are record s of plavk in Slovene. At Rusa at Maribor the play s vvere per- formed for the pilgrims vvho attended the pilgrimages at Maribor. _ The nature of the playe v/as religious and vvere copies of the Mystery Piays of the I3th century. fc spite of Ce " Lauricl (Ed. not Mystery piays of‘ this time did not crime and crime detection but contemplated tke MK TERIES of the Catholic religion.) Sh Ihe year .1617 marked the open ing of the ip, of Passion plays vvhich the various parts of the sion of Christ vvere portrayed. The actors spoke tke- parts m Latin or German v er s e that vvhich they r £ ? resented. .Goocl Friday marked the date of the Pl! sentation of the plays and they did much for h spread and the teaching of Slovene literature but as is the čase in many of good things the Passion IM (fl # 'Vi? o” 3 ° ¥ took ** ste to«' 0 f 1 asi> eS - i?laske f P B tke or.e -red n e» teri ? uarte this i.m jlll scorers tk roughout i score w le s • of t i fftiiie Kil teovar spa; ois Win S( .e second insiup serif ■atelv, and l yed tke Fli savs rtment of t mattei e fray was both sides that the ii!e the Flas (St six doih gar larier. g] a nest f ( eperie and Fin ^ decidi, vere abused and much bad interpretation crept^* R ".'‘ dS Plf , a them so that Joseph II was forced to forbid tke ^ er production of plays of that nature.

She sent the So¬ kols into the lead with two pret- ty long shots, which livened the Sokol adherents. Zalar’s tally from the foul line tied the score at the half. 5-5. The third quarter furnisihed the greatest thrill of the entire classic. After a series of pass- es Slapar got the bali in the center of the floor, pivoting around to face the basket she stood poised for a brief moment with iher characteristic frown, and then arched the bali for a perfect basket. She followed this spectacular shot by register- ing a point from the foul-■ line. This quarter was ali Slapar who scored the only points in this period. Score 8-5 Sokols. Five more points were chalked up for the Sokols in the final quar-j ter. They passed the bali re- markably and it became evidentl that the Flashes were losing ground while the Sokols grev/ stronger. Versatile Ann Gas- parec, who had already scored' four points in the second quar- ter, alone accounted for the re- maining markers by displaying a great exhibition in a constant uproar right to the end.
