...places are more fit than Sanders for the presentation of a Greek tragedy. Its form is strikingly like an ancient amphitheatre and in fact save for the second gallery is essentially a copy. The theatre, therefore, thoroughly adapted itself to the setting of the ancient stage. The floor before the stage was occupied as of old by the chorus about the altar, and from it an easy flight of marble steps led to the court before the palace of Clytemnestra. The palace itself was represented by the schene and paraschene of the stage. It is impossible to enter here into...

...problem of the surplus unskilled sewing women calls out for remedies. Facts are wanted to show that the idea, that cheap living reduces wages, is a fiction. Are employers forced to take advantage of the over-supply of labor, and would wages fall if attempts were made to save?
