The most important message of seouting was given by the boys by tihe demonstration of a program that showed conclus- ively that Seouting is not pro¬ paganda for militarism which many claim for it. Their pro- gram included some novelties that do not find a plače in ali scout programs such as rope- spining but the greatest in fact outside of the rope spining the program was loaded \vitih things that demonstrated Scout activities from Ithe most el e J mentary and fundamental Scout oath and law to the higher ac- complishments of seouting. Produced by local scouts only it was a pretty tribute to the Tribe leader Mr. Felix Danton who worked bard to see the program through and upon his guidance the boys with some effort on their part have been able to produce something that was so splendid as the program as it was staged last Wednes- day.

If some of the boys and girls of tihe neighborhood did not make preparations to attend the Field Day that the Bath House community center is preparing for next Saturday afternoon, June6 at Gordon Park they had better do that thing immediate- ly because thqy will be missing a good time and a barrell of fun if they do not make plans im- mediately. Up to now everything has been prepared to have the swell- est time for ali the boys and girls who can possibly come and have a good time.

The program ealls for an in- door baseball game for the boys and the girls and a volley bali game for the boys and for the girls. If anyone of the boys and girls want to get into the games they should be there early so that when the .sides are chosen t!hey will be on hand to be picked.

This will be the annual outing' for the St. Clair Merchants Improvement Association. To make the trip ideal the Merchants have chartered the boat and they have complete charge of ali the tickets and they will know exactly where everyone is. That is the great¬ est feature of the excursion be¬ cause the crowd will be the kind in which every one knows e- verybody else and that is j ust a guarantee that there will be a lot of fun that otherwise would not be possible. With the opportunity of a restful boatride there and back with dancing thrown in if that is desired there is no reason that every Slovene should not pack the lunch basket pack up the family and take the whole to board the boat which will leave the East 9 St. Pier at 8:00 A. M. The trip up will be finished about 12 and the picnicers will have a chance to enjoy them- selves at the Park at Cedar Point and be ready to return at 4:30. Tickets for the trip cost $1.50 for adults and 75c for children. The tickets may be obtained at The offices of the Cleveland Journal, Enakoprav¬ nost, American Home, Mihalje- vich Bros., at the offices of the International Savings and Loan Co. and at the tvvo branches of the North American Trust Co.

That is the way he felt about things and he has aeted on that principle ever since- the first day he enrolled at the school and even before he enrolled as a študent at the evening High school, that in part explains why he is finishing this year. “Joe” has felt that he ought to have an education and since he could not afford to go to day school he enrolled in the evening class-' es and banged away at his stu- dies and at the difficulties un- til he has aehieved great sue- cess in the school.

With the seating capacity of the Large Hall already exhaust- ed and a brisk demand for the seats available in the Musič Hall it wiil be evident that if there j are any readers of the Cleve- ger of the Corporate Colleges ing and the plan though it only a few months old is functioning like an organization that has had years of tradition to back it. This state of affairs is due largely to the broad Vision of the men at the head of the or¬ ganization. With the Bishop Schrembs as the chairman of the whole system and the Dr. Albert C. Fox, S. J., who has been recognized by Columbia University as one of theHead- ing educators in the United States, as the Regent, it is no wonder that the system is func¬ tioning well. Now it is almost time to show what the system is to those who are intimately associated with the newest development in education. The Commencement of tihe Corporate Colleges of Cle¬ veland will be an ample proof of the grandeur and the solid idea behind as combination that has been effected. The First Commencement plans have been made with aud- acity and with a large hope that they turn out as best they can and now the planners find that they have planned too tlhorough- ly and they are being asked for seats which they cannot hope to fill. The Commencement exercises will be glorious beyond concep- tion Only the mention of some of the details of the plans ar¬ ranged so far is sufficient indi- cation that there will be many things which will make it worth the while to spend the two hours during which the whole pro¬ gram is scheduled to last. Most interesting will no doubt be the academic procession of the grad- uates and the Faculties of the nine colleges that form the mer- NICHOLAS SHEEHAN Assistant Chairman land Journal who will want to attend will be forced to get tljeir tickets immediately otherwise they will be doomed to be dis- appointed because according to signs and signals as they are now there will be very few seats remaining before the end of the week and they will be at a high premium. It is no wonder that there is so much interest in the Com¬ mencement of the Corporate Colleges for it will be the first time that an event so great will take plače in the history of Cleveland and in the history of Education in the United States. It was only last December that the merger of Cleveland Coll¬ eges has been effected and this the first occasion on which they will be able to present a full front to the puhlic. It is also necessary that the First Com¬ mencement of the Corporate Colleges of Cleveland do things in so grand a fashion especially with the knowledge that other principle cities of the United States under the example set by the Cleveland Colleges are plan- ning to do the same thing as soon as they are convinced that the Cleveland Plan of merger of Colleges is not an experiment that is liable to fail. Though the other cities may feel that it is an experiment in Cleveland there is no such feel- of Cleveland in their caps and gowns showing the various and different kind of degrees to which they are entitled and which will be worn in resplen- ent colors. Added to the garbs of the faculty there will be the gowns of )tfhe graduates each having their special insignia de- noting the kinds of degrees they will get. The whole number of Cleveland Catholic clergy with their academic garb of the pre- lates, ali combined will make a glorious picture that will linger in the mind. Perhaps the most thrilling of the evening’s pro¬ gram will be the Carroll Song which will be sung by ali the Graduates and the undergradu- ates under the leadership of the composer, Dr. Albert C. Fox. The only address of the evening will be delivered 'by the Rt. Rev. Bishop Schrembs. Pic- turesque will be the uniformed bodies of the undergraduates of the various nursing schools and the colleges each in their own characteristic Dress. Slovenes will be there in num- bers if they provide themselves with tickets immediately and that will not be soon enough. They will be there to see their own boys and girls graduating from the various schools that compose John Carroll Univer- sity.

Sliort Hlstory of Slo¬ venc Literatsir« Bij F. T. SUHADOLNIK As a man Zois was a highly educated man,. Ii's fathers trade brought him a close contact with geol- ogy _ he was an engineer himself — he was a štu¬ dent of geologic consitions in connection with his min- ing operations and this contact with nature study was translated to ali the other natural Sciences especially after the French encyclopedists made it possible to study natural Sciences at home. The basis of his literary activity was classical poetrv of the Golden Era in Slovene letters. His knowledge of the contemporarv Ilalian and French literature and the literature of the German R.e-class isists was translated to Slovene literary fields. He was greatly influenced by Herder who in his writings showed the beauty of the simple popular language. Burger showed him, through the medium of ‘L enora’ shovved Zois what is meant by writing poetry in the špirit of national songs. This knowledge coupled with an intense love for his own mother tongue, which he used very beautifully, fired him with an ainbition to awaken an interest in Slovene literature and general education. In his interest for Slovene Literature he collected books written in Cyrilica and glagolica, both of which he read fluently, and managed to have the finest and most complete library of such books where Kumerdej and Japelj received their inspiration to base the Slovene on the basis of the old traditions. Zois tries his hand at poetry. As a študent he wrote Italian verses. In Ljubljana he translated some of the Italian love sonnets, which the traveling opera singers on their way from Vienna to Italy sang in Slovene on the coneert platforms at Ljubljana. He also translated “Lenora” into Slovene verse. Zois’ greatest work in Slovene literature was not anything that he wrote but that he provided a plače where the Slovene literateurs could meet and get en- couragement and inspiration. Kumerdej was Zois’ first pupil. He was acquaint- ed with literary work having become very much in- terested in the work through his help on Japelj’s tran- slation and edition of the Bible. Kumerdej also knew other Slav languages. Through Zois’ influence he be- gan the great work of writing a grammar and a com¬ plete dictionary, both of which were Zois’ pet hobbies. Kumerdej began with the philosophical and critical Progress in the work was somewhat retarded because Kumerdej was appointed the superintendent of schoobs at Celje in 1787. When he was made the superintend¬ ent of schools of Ljubljana the work on the dictionary progressed very rapidly. In 1792 he already received permission to have it printe.d. It \vas with much ef- fort that Zois and Linhart persuaded him to continue his help in the grammar. The completion was so drawn out, the grammar and dictionary remained in manu- seript form. To aid matters Zois received the help of Vodnik in the work but to no avail the extensive re¬ mained in manuseript and was never printed. Anton Thomas Linhart, who besides Vodnik, was the most important pupils of Zois was more suečess- ful than Kumerdej. Lirihart was born in Radovolja in 4:757. His father was a Boheihian of Moravia, and his mother was a Slovene. When he completed the gym- nasium at Ljubljana he entered the monastary at Stična but withdrew two years later. He went to Ljubljana where under Sonnenfels’ tutorship he com- p^eted a course in Politics, Commerce, and I inancial management. At Ljubljana he worked as the secre- tary to the Bishop Karl Count Herberstein after which he was appointed the superintendent of Ljubljana schools. Just before he died in 1795 he was the sec- retary and the manager of the State department office in Ljubljana. efforts which he trted to install in the theatrew Slovenia. In imitation of Richerts “Die Feldmu’^ he wrote “Shupanova Mizka” adapted for Slovene« ditions and Slovene use. The play was perfornis^ the Ljubljana theatre in 1789 but it was P® only in 1790. Linhart stepped into the ranks of the German poets. In 1773 he wrote an ode to the Bishop Herber¬ stein. In 1780 he published %book of poems under the titlo “Bliimen aus Krain. Fur das Jahr 1781” Char- acteristic of the work of Linhart is that he did not use ■his own style but always depended on the style of other s. Each of his poems bears the characteristic tyle of the kind of poem he was writing for vvhich he used forms of German Poets. He imitated Klop- stock and Dennis. The national poems of Pegan and Lamberger is vvritten in the pathetic hexameters of Klopstock. On the other hand his was equally at home with the vvorks of Gleim, Kleist, Horace, Guar- ini, after whom he imitated his pastoral poetry, and the dramatic style of Metastasio. His tragedy, in five acts, “Miss Jenny Love” vvhich was published in Augs¬ burg in 1780 is an evident effort to imitate Shakes¬ peare and English domestic tragedv, with which he became acquainted through “Lessings “Miss Sara Sampson” and through Sonnenfels who at the time tried to effect a reform of the theatre of Vienna.

Though Linhart modeled the P| a - .nal * Zois shovved the young man the native land and the beauties contained therein and under his influence Linhart began the History of his native land. In an extended program to vvrite the complete history of ali the Slav nations in Europe he succeeded in.publishing only the first two volumes vvhich deal vvith tla his- tory of the Slo veneš from the beginning to the French cccupation. The tvvo volumes appeared under the title “Versuch einer Gesichte von Kran und der ubrigen sudlichen Slaven Oesterreiches” in 1788 and 1791.

We made this dear for the benefit of the fans vvho might unknowingly credit Stanley Kromar with the splendid work. Of course his friends know that he couldn’t do any- thing like his brother “Bir¬ chie” because he doesn’t get up that early on Sun- days. CARNERA OF THE SAND- LOTS PREDICTS BIG SEASON “Fat” Marsh, who was one of the four horsemen who used to pound out home run drives for the Grdina and Sons bali club in 1927, is recuperating from a serious sickness which befell him early in the season. It was the first opportunity we had to talk to him in a long time. Con- sequently, we learned plenty in the brief talk we had with the star. Although he recovered from his sickness enough to play bali, he complains that he is stili having a buzz in his head. In fact, he was surprised to hear that we didn’t know ihe has that buzz. Outside of that he is stili a little underweight, tipping about two hundred pounds. But he says he will have regained his old weight before long. We recalled and mentioned the base he stole about three weeks ago. “Huh!” he said, “when I get this buzz out of my head I’m go¬ ing to specialize in stealing bases.” Kotnik-Yaeger Stili Fear Each Other The two matadors who put on that glory fight that vvhich went down in his- tory as the battle of the ages have yet to make their appearance at the S. D. Z. and Interlodge games. Per- haps each fears the other might be present with the result that they are depriv- ing themselves of seeing some good hali games. In Colorado Springs, Colo., J. W.

Disgusted, James McAruthur abandoned Vivian Mercer in a backyar(t where her mother found her, weeping. ei®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®^ Prosperity will come to tlie merchant who ADVERT1SES The “CLEVELAND JOURNAL” weekly for Ame¬ rican Slovenes, is one of the best mediums for merchants to invest their advertising money in.
