NOTES ON THE DRAMA. •. THE DOLL'S HOUSE" REDIVlVUS.

Recently there was an irritating article by Mr. Sydney \,\'. Carroll, the dramatic critic of the" Sunday Time<;," on the revival of "The Doll's House" at the Everyman Theatre, Hampstead. The writer belittled Ibsen and suggested that to·day this pla-y and ·the character of Nora Helmer seem antiquated, absurd, and poor in dramatic interest and value. The ordinary penman should not be afraid to critici e an author of high standing, but in his attack he might, at least, show some appreciation of the disparity between himself and tbe man he criticises. This is a matter, however, concerned only with the proper etiquette to be observed in such cases. The attack itself is the important consideration

Is "'The Doll's House" to be regarde i as antiquated? I imagine this question is raised in view of the far.reaching developments which have taken place since this play was published-the political rights women have gained and the wide latitude of thought and action now open to them. I agree that "The Doll's House" is not up to date in its assump· tions as to the status of women; that Ibsen intended it to inculcate greater freedom for women; and that, therefore, this part of its intention is to a limited extent fulfilled. But these admissions leave many important points to consider before we can summanly dismiss this play as over· rated, old.fashioned, and of minor significance as drama. We have to determine whether it has permanent dramatic qualities of exceptional worth, irrespective of its support of greater fleedom for women; wbetber it has still mucb of value to convey in its portraiture of woman as a eing possessing individual rights and duties. I strongly affirm that in

both these respects "The Doll's House" has a long and glorious life before it. I maintain tbat it is an inherently vigorous and arresting work, considered simply as drama; that it will remain fresh and vital for a long time to come by its brilliant advocacy of woman as an independent human being. In the former respect it provides that essential characteristic of good drama-an emotional and compact representation of a conflict of wills. In old.fashioned plays the hero wins one thing, the villain another, and the dramatic interest lies in the exhibition of the contest between these opposed forces. The modern stage is concerned fundamentally with the same subject matter, but the conflict is visualised less crudely, and in closer correspondence with actuality.

Tbe hero and villain, nowaday , figure in a different guise. Human beings confront one another as of old, but more credit is given to tbe good intentions of both parties, and it is assumed tbat tbeir differences arise from divergent impulse and ideas rather than from eitber conscious \-irtue or deliberate villainy. \Yhat is really exhibited is a conflict between competing springs and principles of conduct. In capable bands like Ibsen's this transformed conflict arouses the emotions as keenly as melo­dramatic passages between tbe innocent heroine and ber would-be betrayer, and is as exciting as pbysical combat betw?en the valiant hero and his would·be assassin. In "The Doll's House" the parting petween Torvald and N ora Helmer is as th1illing a scene as one dependent upon more material issues, while its poignancy is enhanced by its intimate relationship with life. I cia not mean that the particular reasons for Nora's outbreak are of everyday occurrence, but that division between husband and wife, based partly upon woman's rebellion agains.

tradition and partly upon the quarrelsomeness of human nature, is not 'at all uncommon, and that the tendency of the man is still to act upon the presumption of the husband's authority as opposed to the wife's instinctive feeling of rebe]]jon against this domination. Judging by the newspapers, the fiction, the drama, and the pulpit of to-day vital differences between husband and wife can only OCCur on sexual questions. One or the other wishes, or both wish, for a change of partner. The idea that married relationship can be seriously strained by other and perhaps more worthy considerations appears to be unknown. That we need light and leading on matrimonial quarrels, other than those caused by questions of sex, is a consideration that seems to be outside the purview of our present-day publicists. It is not that teaching on this particular problem is obsolete, but that it has not yet arrived. Ibsen, however, does deal with it in " The Doll's House." This play is still well ahead in this respect. For these and other reasons "The Doll's House" is, in my OpInIOn, not yet superseded by later dramatic works, but will be found very valuable for many "years to come as setting out in relief the difficulties that beset sound relationship between man and wife, and as offering a bold challenge to the "heavy husband" pose, while the play is excellent drama, inasmuch as it presents a dramatic conception in an emotional, exciting, and clear-visioned way_ C.

AN APPEAL.

THE Lending Library Committee desire to remind members and friends of the existence of the "Annual Subscription Fund," which has enabled the Com!Ilittee to purchase some important wvrks. It is hoped that con­tributions to this Fund will continue to be made a1m!tally, as the Lending Library has no regular income on which to rely. Subscriptions will be gladly received in the Library on . Sunday mornings, or may be forwarded by post to the Hon. Treasurer, Mrs. Stevens, 147A, Clapton Common, E.5.

Anotber method of assisting the Lending Library is the presentation of suitable works dealing with current questions, or such as are of special interest to the Society.

IMPORTANT NOTICE.

In view of the annual stocktaking, it is particularly requested of borrowers that all books not already returned be forwarded to the LibraTY not later than Sunday, July 24, directed to the Hon. Librarians, South Place Chapel, with name of borrower enclosed.

The Library Committee desire the special attention of members and friends to this request, as non.compliance will cause inconvenience.

COLOUR SCHEMES FOR SCHOOLS. THE BENEFIT TO SCHOLARS AND TEACHERS.

It will, presumably, be frankly admitted that, up till now, the idea of utilising "Colour Schemes" for the decoration of schools, with a view to brighten the surroundings and quicken the imagination of the children, has in the main been neglected, and this in spite of the careful and helpful study of colour and its effect on mind and body made by Mr. H. Kemp Prosser, whose theories have been successfully adopted by certain munici palities, hospitals, offices, and workshops.

The receptive mind of a child is quickly influenced by surroundings, and it is all important that these should be made as attractive as possible. Mr. Prosser reminds US that Nature's dress includes a blue firmament, blue sea, green foliage, and golden sunlight, and it is wise when we decorate our homes and buildings to remember this, and aim to bring these colours to brighten us inside, as well as to enjoy them out of doors.

Neutral tints do not tend to draw the best out of us. Mind and body are unable to respond to their vibrations. The following attributes may be ascribed to the colours named:

BWE-Magnetic, intellectual, helpful to concentration; SPRING.GREEN-Mental sedative, restful, suggests hope; ROSE.PINK.-Recuperative, the colour of the human body in health; PRIMROSE. YELLOw-Stimulating, removes depression; RED-Rouses the red corpuscles of the blood, induces strong feel-

ing, and is best avoided.

'When school rooms have a northerly aspect, it is well to compensate for the loss of Nature's sunlight by the use of the primrose· yellow on tbe walls, giving a golden sunlight effect and affording a vitalising atmosphere,

and if a firmament-blue is lised for the ceiling an air of spaciousness will be imparted, which will minimise in the minds of the children the sense of being confined indoors.

In the event of the school room having a sunny aspect, spring-green would be cheerful for the walls, with a firmament-blue ceiling, or, as an alternative, blue walls and white ceiling, or rose-pink walls and blue ceiling.

In cases where there are several classrooms, it will be best to vary the decoration of the respective rooms, and when black and white is used for decoration of walls and doors, a firmament-blue ceiling would be a relief, and would lessen the risk and glare of too much white, which is injurious to the sight. Whilst it is recognised that colour is a strong factor in our daily lives, the child at school, who has hitherto been surrounded for the most part by drab neutral shades or white dis­temper, has suffered accordingly. Just as the colour of the marigolds fades when placed in a dark room, so our children's spirits are depressed by their present sombre, cheerless schoolrooms.

If Mr. Prosser's "Colour Schemes" were brought into play in all their helpfulness, and he has worked them out according to proved laws, the children would respond to the vibrations of the colours around them; their imaginations would be quickened by their new and attractive environment, and the teachers would find the scholars under their care were stimulated to better achievement, and were rendered more responsive to guidance and discipline. Just as the bright colours of the southern countries of Europe re-act favourably on the peoples of these realms, so would the judicious use of colours at home re· act advantageously on boys and girls brought under their influence.

The fact that the atmosphere of Britain is so often dull and grey renders it doubly necessary that we should introduce colour as an antidote to remove any feeling of depression weighing down the spirits of the ri'ing geneI;ation, which may rob the n of joy at the very period in their lives when a happy outlook is needed most, to encourage them to do ju tice to their stud ies, in order to fit them effectively for the struggle of life before them.

Doubtless the time will come when children at school will wear bright­coloured overalls, this would be a real step forward, but meanwhile the writer ven tures to express the hope that all school authorities will take prompt steps to ensure that students under their care are surrounded by appropriate bright COlours, blended in a right proportion, so as' to bring ctbout a sense of harmony in thought and feeling.

If this were done, the uplift to teachers and children would be 'instantaneous, lasting, and effective. It would accomplish something beyond the quickening of the intellect of the scholars, for it would definitely improve their manners and influence their character, for beauti­ful colours, like Nature's lovely flowers, suggest beauty in thought and feeling, and when this helpful atmosphere has been successfully created the seeds of imagillation, poetry, and right thought will be mastered, and h due season will spring to flower and gladden humanity.

THE PROBLEM OF THE ENGLISH SCHOOL. ITS RELATIO . - TO RELIGION AND TH~; BRITISH COMMONWEALTH .

( Reprint,)

The problem is, in truth, the same for the Irish school, the Scots, and the Welsh. But, in order to put the issue more clearly, an.d speaking as an Englishman who first taught a class (of Buckinghamshire children) in 1871 , and in many Scores of English towns and villages, bas taH,ed happily

with teachers, scholars, and officials, I prefer to concentrate on the English school.

Ever since the Education League was formed at Birmingham in 186g, and demanded a national system confined to secular subjects, the question of religious instruction has continued, in 'one form or another, to producE; difficulties. Practically, the difficulties are threefold-(I) The schools of England, which ought to aim at a national unity of heart, mind, and service, now utter divided voices-Rom-an, Anglican, Wesleyan, Jewish, and Biblical (that is, expressed in So.called cc undenominational" Bible lessons); (2) The children are frequently taught views of theological elements of the Bible which are at variance with the scientific and historical ideas now widespread among the English people; (3) Teachers who accept such widespread scientific and historical ideas usually feel compelled to assume an air of agreement with 1he theological elements; and, in the interests of school harmony, one can hardly blame them.

These difficulties are real and serious, even if (as is alleged oy unprogressive persons) they evoke no comment from the public.

Proposals made for excluding religious instruction meet partly with the opposition of vested interests, partly with a genuine dread of losing a valuable moral influence, and partly with indifference. Proposals made for a friendly coalition of Anglican and other denominational methods in the religious lessons are not liltely to realise a permanent solution; they may arouse hostility among the teachers; and they aim rather at the convenience of hurches than at English national unity.

National unity is imperiously needed in presence of vast economic, social, and political questions. Not only so, but in a time when we are anxiously studying the relation of England towards the Over sea Dominion~ , including Inc!ia, and must also anticipate the approach of Coloured Peoples in the Dependencies towards self-government, we must bear in mind the many differences of religious faith. We ought to seek for a basis of unity in this immense British ommonwealth. It i neither political nor educational wisdom to emphasise in English schools a factor that must mark off this country from great populations in other parts of the Common wealth.

Yet within the borders of the Biblical religion (and of the Hindu Moslem, Buddhist, and other faiths professed in the British Common ­wealth) may be found admirable and inspiring material, whether legendary, poetic, or more or less historical-stories of great teachers, saints, and reformers of social manners and ideals; pictures of the love and courage of the ccmmon people, who, while varying in custom and creed, have expressed the same fundam ental spiritual values. The good sense of the teachers might be trusted to utilise any such noble material, with due regard to the personal and social training of you tlh , and to their own intellectual convictions. or would there be any occasion to draw the line between teachers willing to give such instruction and teachers unwilling_

TlJ.e solution I propose might be presented in the shape of a regulation in the Educational Code as follows:

cc The whole of the instruction given in the public schools shall be subject to the inspection and control of the Board of Education, religiou~ instruction as recognised by the Elementary Education Act of 1870 being abolished; the general instruction will include such teaching drawn from the religious taiths of the world as may, in the judgment of the teachers, promote the enthusiasm and knowledge necessary to personal and social service and to good citizenship; no religious catechism or formulary or doctrine which is distinctive of any particular denomination shall be taught."

I ask the reader to examine, not so much the exact wording of this proposal, as the spirit in which it aims at the removal of a long-standing obstacle to the moral and intellectual unity of the English nation.
