TODAY and
TOMORROW
(By Frank Parker Stockbridge)
HISTORY ... i come alive
Most Americans have rather vagtto
ideas about the history of their own
country, and most of the historical
traditions not recorded in contempor
ary documents are somewhat mytbicn
Lately there bas been a revival of* in
k-resit! in tho historical monuments ant?
relics of the nation'i past Tho restor
ation of Virginia's ancient colonial
eapitll, Williamsburg, with money
3upplied by John D. Rockefeller, Jr..
brings the early days of. the Old Do
minion to life. 1
Now the Carnegie Institution of
Washington's doing a similar eervie<
for the oldk^t city in tho United
States, St. Augustine, Florida. Dat
ing from 1505, St. Augustine has lb*
oldest buddings in ibis country, anil
aiany for which groat antiquity b
:kimed but doubted.A corps of scier.
lists is at work there, restoring tho
incicnt Spanish, French and English
eructures, rebuilding the old eiiy
wall and assembling authentic relics
?f St. Augustine's past When th>
work is done, there will be a comply
early Amsricau town standing in u
park, true to history in every de' a:i
That will make history com<? aliv -
for the generations to com .
RESORT . . . farmers' delight
New York is go;ng to have th<
graetesli World's Ftir ever held, ?n
1939. A hundred million persons from
all over the world are expocted to
attend. But New York itself is a
World's Fair, according to its Merch
ants Association it is ithe vacation re
4ort, both Summer and Winter, of in
creasing millions of Americans every
year.
I have notieed more and more tour
ists every 3umn*er il. the 40 years with
which I have been familiar with New
York. The city's Summer climate is
far better than that of many popular
summer resorts, and the vacationist
who seeks a change of .scene, and cn
vironmont can certainly find more to
interest aud amuse him than anvwher
else in America.
I do not know of any other city
where the stronger is given a more
courteous welcome and such facilities
for seeing the sights as he get& ii
New York And, curiously enough, the
tourists who .seem to got the biggest
"kick" out of a trip to New York
are farmers and their families. They
like to see what happens to the k rod
ucts of thejr farms when they have
reached their final ??'ket.
ART .... 1400 years ago
One ot the great events in the woi'-J
of art was the discovery, in the ati
cient Church of St. S-iphia in |>:an
bul,that' under the piaster of its wall *
are oldest known Christian pictures
Built in the year 537, by th) Emperor
Justinian, in 'the city then known as
Constantinople, St Sophia was the
chief temple of th^ Christian faitL*
for more than 900 years. The Turks
captured the city in 1453, converted
the church into a Moslem Mo que, an^
covered the pictures with planter.
Now the Turkish government has
disestablished Mohammedanism u->
tho staWc religion, declared the old
church a national monument, arH
has intrusted the work of scmping off
the.plaster and revealing the beauti
ful ancient Christian art, to an Amer
ica commission, the Byaantine Insti
ft?e? which has a dozen experts #'
work carefully uncovering the world 's
oldest art collection.
One by onfl the rdics of the early
days of civilisation and the record or
man's progress in the arts and crafts
are coming to light. They all add
proof that the upwrd maich of hn
mankind has been very short, indeed.
WOOD .... preservation
A few years ago a friend of min-^
found, buried under the bed of a river
| in Yucatan, 'thousands of mahoganv
I logs which had b-'on cut by the earlv
' Spanish explorm, who tried to floit
them down to the sea for shipment to
Cuba or Spain. A great fflod had
covered them with gravel, and there
they lay for more than 300 yoart. Mv
friend due them up and made a sftnall
fortune. The lumber wa? 3tillas 6onnd
as when first cut.
