their little parents seem to have left
their small cares n responsibilities
of life behind them in their paper
homes and are children again, not
only in heart, but in deeds.
But these endless temple-fairs and
festivals. where the western world tor
many years learns strange lessons II
the simple pleasures of life and in the
peace which flows from gentle hearts,
are, alas! gradually growing fewer
and fewer. for board schools will not
permit almost as many holidays in the
year as there are saints days in the
Catholic calendar. Ii the real Japan
children never went to school. They
we're taught at home. But it would be
though they live in their streets where
they are protected from all dangers
by dozens of strange little charms,
they receive no proper home training.
Perhaps no other children in the world
ever did receive such a strict home
training or were educated so carefully
as the children of vanishing Japan. For
although the majority of girls knew
only a few Of the Chinese characters of
their alphabet, every boy and girl
knew the ancient as well as modern his
tory of their nation. and all It's rich
folk lore. Children often accompanied
their parents to the theater. and there
they had very wildly Imprinted on
their minds all the classical dramas
and historical tragedies of their litera-
ture. History before the days Of
Perth Amboy evening news., 1904-10-07

schools were also taught by card play
ing, and the Famous One Hundred
Poems of the classics, known as the
Hiyaki-nin, which is the household BIZ
BILE of Japan, vas learnt by games Of
proverbs. The courage of children, es-
pecially boys, vas tested by the telling
Of thrilling ghost stories in eerie
places or in the half-light round the
hibachi on winter nights. Little girls
had famous examples recorded to them
CT filial piety and obedience by the
story of some v%irtuous daughter, who
sold herself to a life of misery to save
her parents from starvation. But the
most important part of a child's edu-
cation was its lesson in etiquette. Eth
quette was so f~ar-reaching that a little
child had to begin it's education before
it could walk; very early did girls
have to learn the special teachings for
women, called Washoka-Mebel- Bunko,
which by their nature were qualified
to rob a mother of her child's heart.
Teachers of the various etiquettes Wis
tied the houses of the middle classes,
the etiquette of the Solemn Tea-Cere-
mony. of flower arranging, of domestic
and social life, were some Of the most
important. Only girls of the humber
classes learned music, singing. and
dancing. The koto was the only in
strument permitted in the houses Of
the upper classes.
In Japan there is a very hard ana
fast line drawn between the moral
training and the education of boys
and girls. You seldom see boys and
girls playing in the streets together.
If you do. you will notice that when a
boy loses in a game his face receives
a dab of paint. When a little girl
loses she sticks a straw in her hair.
At the different festivals for boys
and girls the mark of sex is easily dis
tinguishable. On the days of the boys
festival the whole city lies under a
heaven of floating carps made Of hol-
low gaily-painted paper. Every street
is lined with bamboo poles, from which
carp fly out into the breeze like flags
to testify the fact that the Japanese
man-child is capable of fighting its way
upstream against all the adverse cur
rents of life. On the day Of the girls
festival every stall and shop groans
under the burden of solemn-faced dolls.
If o asked a little boy in Japan
what his highest ambition in life was
he would tell you to die for his en-
reror. A little girl would say: To OBJ
serve the teachings Of the seven sages,
so that she might be. a submissive
daughter to her father. a submissive
wife to her husband. a submissive
daughter-in-law to her husbands PAL
ents. and. last Of all. q submissive
mother to her eldest son Il she was
left 3 widow. DOUGLAS sLADEN.

ated on one side with the gaudily
painted head of a woman of the Yoshi-
wara.
But | soon learned that the streets
were full of babies because the houses
were all empty. No one in the real
Japan yer saw a baby sleeping in a
COT while its mother was working or
being driven in a go-cart. They sleep
with their little heads wobbling about
on their mothers or older sisters
backs, and learn to sit on their feet
with their bent knees under them be-
fore they can stand, and l soon began
to distinguish the real toy shops,
which are more numerous than in any
other country in the world, from the
shops which sold the toy-llke furniture
and miniature household utensils used
for the grown-up dolls houses.
l have lever seen a little girl nurs-
ing or playing with her doll in Japan
as one sees dolls played with in Ameri-
ca. Dolls are kept as household treas
ures in iron safes, and are taken out
on special festivals. They represent
historical and NEUROLOGICAL charac-
tiers, and are certainly not things to be
Rugged and loved. The reason for
this may be that a tiny girl never has
her back to spare for her doll, as she
always has to carry about a baby
brother or sister. Babies are always
carried on the back in Japan, and not
in the arms except by the very wealthy
classes, SO the little girls have no
chance of initiating their mothers in
their treatment of their dolls. for they
never see her kiss her baby or hug it
up in her arms as American mothers
do.
There are hundreds of street profess
SIGNALS who make good livings in ia
pan by amusing children. There are
street theatricals acted by children for
children, realistic and wonderful story
t%ellers, a%crobats and gaily-dressed
tumblers, clever workers in black
magic such as ~fire-eaters and snake
charmers, and perhaps. best Of all,
toy-makers who will, while you walt,
blow out a junk in full sail from a
piece of wheat-paste on the end OF a
pipe, and the ever popular peddling
cock, who allows children to cook for
themselves for the tenth part OF a PEN
ny some strange concoction in a dish
of boiling sesame oil, and endless 9th
ers which l cannot remember.
But to see child-life in its perfection

1.-The farm play seems only marketable
in the purely bucolic form with impos-
sible stage rustics concerned in equally
impossible adventures. The educated
farmer. the thinking tiller of the soil
who controls the output of vast areas
of land in Dakota, southern California,
or the middle west, is rarely-I might
say never-selected as the figure of what
might be a great American play.
while am not ready to assert that
the dramatist is obligated to teach
moral lessons, I feel confident that much
good is to be gained by the presence on
our stage of commendabIe examples of
Americanisn- They cannot fail to be
helpful formative influences in the lives

so great a percentage of our theater-
goers is recruited. Our audiences, wear

Funny Stories Told by the Theatrical
People OFF the Stage.

Sometimes there is a feeling express
ed that the theater managers are con-
Iscienceless, with no thought above the
money paid in at their box office win
dows.
But there are honest managers and
conscientious managers the world over.
Sir Henry Irving knew one such in
England. He tells of him in describing
the smallest audience on record, con-
sisting of one man. The play never
theless went on in the provincial the
alter where this audience was gathered.
But the manager between the acts
peeped out from behind the curtain
and saw that the house was empty.
Where is the audience?' he said.
anxiously, to the usher.
q He has gone out, sir, the usher an
swered, to get some beer
viii he return asked the mana
ger.
:" Positively. He expressed himself
as very we'll pleased with the produc-
tion.'
"'Ah,' said the manager with look
of relief, then let the performance pro-
ceed.' 4"
The director was standing in the back
of the Metropolitan opera house few
nights ago during the performance Of
a German opera AS he leaned on the
rail behind the back row of seats he
heard the whispers of two men sitting

SECURED @PARs1FAL > SCORE.
The Police Took a Hand in Hopes of
Preventing Its Expectation.

Many people, since the initial produc-
ton of ''Parsifal" are wondering how
Director Conried managed to acquire
the orchestral score of the opera The
following story, recently published in
the Deutsche Wochenzeitung der Med
erIanden, although not vouched for, in
dieates how such things come about in
the artistic world:
Several months before former .Di-
rector Van der Linden of the Amster-
dam opera started for America he en-
tertained the idea of having his troupe
sing 'ParsifaI" at concert and
opened negotiations with Amsterdam
music dealers in order to secure the
score. The dealers secured the score
with the right for concert perform
ances from Schott & Sons, of Mayence,
for the sum of $3.50 and a percentage
of the profits. Director Van der Lin
den took the score and had 1t copied,
but the concert was POSTPONED The
dealers then demanded the return of
the score, but Herr Van der Linden
put them off with promises until the
date of his departure for New York
Accidentally a clerk of one of the
dealers learned that Herr Van der Lin
den was about to sail for the United
States. The dealers went Immediately
to his house and found that the former
director had already left
They were in despair, as they had
given $4,000 as a guarantee for the re-
turn of the ParsifaP score.
The matter was turned over to
lawyer, who telephoned to lawyer in
Rotterdam. Herr Van der Linden's
baggage was found and Van der Lin
den himself was invited to accompany
the lawyer to the harbor. He at first
refused to give up the score, but when
a police inspector informed him that
he would be held under arrest until the
matter was settled before court, he
consented to open his trunks and the
precious work was discovered. He
