inclined to think, uncrtical. The public is not a single body; there are
four pubics that prefer four kinds of theatrical entertainment. There is
that circle of theatergoers who like to see frstclas plays; there is another
public that prefers spectacle; there is another that prefers the circus, and
there is a fourth that wants the speciality programme of the vaudeville
theaters. There has always been this same classification of the show
instinct in human nature. There are people who never cared for anything
below the standard of the Irving and Terry productions, and there are
people who never 60 TO the theater, but insist on going to the circus.
The thcNtcr is a place of recreation. We have different forms Of
recreation; either a violent challenge to the most strenuous state of mag
nation, like the lurid melodrama, or a quiet stroll in shady lanes, like the
rural drama. II a conversational clash of wit and chatter like the teacup
play. Some of us are interested in the problems of psychology and find
excellent rcfrcshmcnt in a taste of the scamy side of our morals. Then,
of course, a great many of us want to have our senses stirred by grand
spectacle, or to be excited by the acrobat and the l~ooptheloop. The
vaudeville thcater provides capsule doses of every flavor known to the tired
senses of man.
These are the show-nstncts and they have compelled the show BUSH
ness Shakespeare may have never en a vaudeville show, but he had
the show-instnct, touching rs many phases of it, in comedy and tragedy,
as there ever were. The Greeks had the san methods of dramatic ss-
pcnse that we have now.
The recent rush toward the vaudeville theater is educating people to
60 to other thedew. The attitude of the vaudeville audiences toward the
vaudeville stage is one of the interesting gradations of the showinstinct.
Forty years ago there was the same popular interest in the minstrel shows.
The vaudeville audience wants its results quick, it wants a snack of the
big fcasts in the show business. 1t wants an acrobat, a knock-about team,
some trained animals, then a play, then some dancers, a song, a coniuror,
then another play, and so on. IT is a restless, inpatient audience, but it
is the most apprcciatiye of them all. There they sit, their show-instincts
open to conviction, without any particular art microhe to Cypress them.

1t is by the sympathy of men and mutual understanding, educating

"One feature of women's wills Is

frequently exhibit such spurts of
temper. A son or a daughter may do
something that d~ispleases him, and TO

him go. But mothers can't do that.
They are too soft. If ever they show

city when for threcquarters of the year We house them in schoolrooms,
impart to them knowledge, establish and maintain the discipline of edu-
cation, and then turn them out for the fourth quarter with no educational
supervision and apparently no thought or care a to what becomes of
their minds and morals for three months out of the year.
The duty of the state emphaticaly does not end with the closing OF
the schoorooms in June of each year. There is no other period when
the child mind requires direction sc much rs in the summer. The facul-
ties then ire in their most active state, the imagination is warmest, vital
iy is most abundant.
1t is then that under our present system the child is suddenly thrown
on its own mental resources, and its guides and councillors of the pre-
ceding nine months mctaphorcally wash their hands of the matter. The
consequence is a problem with which every person interested in the bet
torment of social conditions in the city has been made sorrowfuly famn-
lar. 1t is a problem that may be called the problem of the city child in
the summer.
Earnest men and women are concerning themselves with this serious
question. The vacation schools are doing some good, but of course no
such plan can be ideal. The child must have a vacation in the summer
that shall provide genuine recreation, along with such wholesome ocupa-
ton of the mind as shall furnish the necessary element of education.
The mind ought not to be permitted to sag for three months.
