My two correspondents have given
me a difficult problem to solve. As I
remarked once before In this column,
we have many professors of memory
In the land, but none of forgetfulness
There are various methods which teach
us how to recollect, but no method
teaches us how to efface unwelcome
memories from the mind.
Destroy Mementos.
Yet there Is a method for those few
who have the determination, the will
power and the perseverance to pursue
It. In the first place, throw away every
memento and token of the person and
experience you desire to forget. If It te

self with new face*.
Fill every hour with work and study.
Take upon yourself new and engross
ing duties. Be occupied; employ your
day* so thoroughly thet you are phy
sically and mentally fatigued when night
comes. Exercise In the open ntr as
much an possible and take cold baths
once or twice u day. This will Induce
sleep. ' - ’
When the fascinating yet unwelcome
memory undertakes to assert Itself turn
Immediately hnd busy yourself ubout
some tusk which require* all your pow
ers of concentration. Interest yourself
In other people’s lives. Do what you
can avery hour of every day aa you
paea along the highway of life to cheer,
encourage and con,Wt every fellow
traveler.
If you cen afford the time neces
sary, take up some on* line of study
and endeavor to perfect yourself In It.
Music, language, painting, sculpture,
stenography, artistic needlework, mil
linery. wood carving, no matter what—
anything which - appeals to you and
which you think you cab well do.
When you- have chosen your study
make H a point to read whatever you
can regarding the Uvea of those who
have excelled In this vocation. All this
win help to lead you away from the
pursuing memory. Avoid sifch books
and plays as help to resurrect ihls
memory.
Laarn to Forget.
Ask the unseen guardian angels, who
are always accessible to our rail, to
help you In your efforts to forget, and
never for n single day fall to keep your-
eeil occupied.
’ Avoid solitude. Surround yourself
with people as much as possible. Do
not talk about your trouble to them;

FRATERNITY DANCE.
Friday night, at 8egadlo’a hall, the
member* of the Phi Delta Theta fra
ternity of the Tech will give a dance
to their friend*.
The man who rose to greet me with
that fine simplicity of manner which
win* frlendahlp on the Inatant, I knew
for Solon H. Borgluin. “the prairie
sculptor"—-he whose genius has caught
and embodied In bronse and marble
the fierce, elemental spirit of the vaat
West, and whose work not only ac
cords him a place In the foremost rank
of American sculptors, but gives prom
ise of universal greatness. Apart from
these fact*, extraordinary Interest and
Importance attaches to Mr. Borglum’s
hasty visit to Atlanta. Inasmuch as he
comes to confer with the Gordon statue
commission in regard to the statue of
General John ft. Gordon upon which
the sculptor Is now at work. The un
veiling of the statue will take place In
Atlanta late In June. Instead of in May
a* wa* at first Intended, and will be
an event In which centers the love and
enthusiasm of thousand* of loyal
Southern hearts. I say Southern, and
ycz the event In of far greater thnn
sectional Interest, subscriptions for the
statue having been received from ev
ery part of these United States. Ev
ery hero belongs to the world. "As
you probably know," said Mr. Borglum.
when asked to tell of his work on the
Gordon statue, "the first model I sub
mitted was rejected by the commission.
This represented General Gordon on
hi* horse, rushing Into battle, hi* hand
uplifted ur command. On the pede»tal
were Confederate soldiers, marching.
Though this was not accepted, I was
later given the award of the commis
sion. and learned that the preference of
the veterans was a statue which should
represent General Gordon In review of
his troops. Accordingly the statue
w hich will be unve tiled in June
represents your great gsneral In review*.
The ba* reliefs In bronse on the ped
estal are an Important feature of the
work. One of these Is General Gordon
ns the ’Man of the 12th of May.’ when
In the battle at Bpottaylvanla he rush
ed to the front, turned Lee's horse
aside, and fiylng In the face of almost
certain death, led the troop*. The oth
er ban relief portrays him as gover
nor, senator and peace-maker."
Surely a great adbject for a grtftt
artist, epltmislng a life which will
shine one of the brightest stars In his
tory so long as time shall last.
"Though familiar from boyhood with
the history of the Civil war." said Mr.
Borglum, *i Immediately began to
study minutely Gordon’s career. For,
tw r o years and a half. I have continued
to study It. and the troubled era In
which he figured so conspicuously. And
speaking of ihls Southern subject re
minds me that the South offer* to the
sculptor material a* rich and pictur
esque as any to be found in the West,
or elsewhere on the globe. I hope to
do other Southern subjects later."
Who, I wonder, will be the first to
carve In stone the epic of our Civil
war; the fierce drama of our Recon
struction period, when the flower of
Nouthern chivalry lay ehaltered in the
dust; and the dArk shadow* of the race
problem which today broods threaten*
ingly over this radiant child of prom
ise that we call the New Mouth '
Borglum, Man and 8cuiptor.
When good foreign blood mixes with
American, or assimilates the best In
American life, the result Is often he
roic. Solon Borglum, born In Ogden,
Utah, of Danish parents, exemplifies
the truth of the statement.
Aa a boy and youth he gave little
propdse, however, of being more than
a successful ranchman. A timid, quiet
child, with an Imagination more lively
than any one knew, he waa considered
a failure at school, and at the age of
fifteen he was permitted by his father
to take charge of a ranch. Until he
waa twenty-three he lived the wild,
free life of the plains. One day h!s
brother, who waa a successful painter,
casually asked. "Why don’t you become
an artist. Solon? You're such a work
er I believe you’d succeed." ' Strange
a* It may seem, this chance remark
was the turning point of his career,
and after he left the ranch we find
Mra struggling ngalr.st poverty in Loz
Angeles and later In Cincinnati, and
trying to learn to*paint. The passion
for art, which had been latent In him
so long, was now fully aroused and he
worked Incessantly. It was almost by
accident that he began to do some
modeling and that he discovered sculp,
ture to be for him the true medium
of expression.
"That very year,’* Mr. Borglum told
me. *T won a special award at the
Cincinnati Art Institute, and later a
scholarship. Then ! set out for Paris.
But when 1 got there I said to myself,
•These people have copied from nature
and that Is what I must do at home.
Why have I come?’ And the whole
time I stayed. 1 struggled hard not to
let my work lose Its stamp of Ameri
can life. That Is what our artists and
sculptors fall to prevent. They go to
Europe and become Europeans. They
absorb the mythology and classicism
which In Europe are the true thing,
but which are not true Id America. I
wish I could tell you how* deep In me
Ilea thin American Idea, how‘sacred It
Is to me—the ambition to make my
work typically American, to let It ex
press the * democracy, ‘the splendid
youth, the crudeness, too, If you will,
of my native country. Such ambition
in us all Is the only basis for a great
national life."
As we review hla work we see how
faithful he has been to this Ideal.
Wherever his groups are found, In the
Salon. In the Louvre In Paris, In the
Metropolitan In New York, In Cincin
nati, Chicago or elsewhere, they ex
press a phase of life typically Ameri
can. He Is In sculpture wh&t Walt
Whitman Is in literature—a force aa
elemental, aa unself-conscious, and Ir
resistible as the wind or rain.
Speaking of hi* work, some critic
haa aptly remarked that inasmuch aa
hla message Is not a personal or self-
conscious one tt becomes the message
of th*' gteat West Itself. What changes
hi* work will undergo, and whether it
will rl*e to the full measure of great
ness when the ego of the man be
comes articulate. It Is Interesting to
speculate.
