seeing it over and over. The words
should be within his easy understand
ing, they should interest him and the
point and illustrations should be at
tractive. But that is about all the
help you can give him. He must do
the rest himself. And learning to
read is at best rather slow process,
involving much repetition. The ease
with which children read what Is
familiar during the first year at
school is somewhat deceptive. The
average child does not really master
reading until ten or twelve, probably
because his understanding is not de-
veloped well enough to grasp wide
range of thought before that age,
even though he is able to pronounce
the words And in my judgment, it
is unwise to encourage child to read
what is beyoud his comprehension as
1t is to encourage him to talk about
what he does not understand.
The choice Of readers Is often puz-
zling for there, are many good little
readers on the market If a mother
lacks confidence in her own judg-
ment, she can select the one used in
the nearest school.
A good reading knowledge, like a
good speaking knowledge. of good
English, is the basis of liberal edu-
cation, and If young children, on ac-
count of sickness or for any other
reason, can not attend school, no
mother need worry about it so long
as they are making progress in learn
ing to read. Nor need she hesitate, II
she herself can read, to teach her
children to read. La Follettes.

NEW PHILOSOPHY OF EDUCA-
TION
In Dean Blakeslee's philosophy Of
education the word education as here.
tofore used would hardly apply.
The word as it now stands means
to develop, to train, to become skilled
by repeated efforts, and the use OF
the memory, etc.
He claims that education from such
standpoint is unscientific and con.
trary to Psychic law; that only ami
mails should be educated or should
be counted as of the world of evolu.
ton, and that education should be
system of destroying error, i. e..
that man in his natural state or pri-
meval state is perfect, but owing tc
the gross darkness which has cover
ed the earth, men are buried in error
Education, he claims, is the lifting
of the clouds of darkness and the
mortal belief in error. Man needs
no education but is perfect in him
self.
Heretofore it has been supposed
that wisdom, genius and skill was due
to development. He claims that the
most gifted person cannot be trained
or developed in any line without first
destroying error, |. e., that it is neces-
sary, first that the soul be free, suf-
ficiently so at least to support the
particular skill toward which they
aim.
He has proven to many minds that
genius is a condition and not gift,
therefore his theory is that the pres
ent systems of education not only re-
tard genius but in many instances de-
stroy it.
For example, it is generally known
that children who seemingly born
geniuses seldom ever come up to the
expectations Of their friends. He
claims that the cause is not in the
child but in the system Of education.
Did men and pedagogs only know the
science of genius it would grow and
unfold itself like beautiful rose.
And, would 1t be expected of rose
to bloom in its perfection if the gard
ner should attempt to restrict the rose
by forcing leaves to open or by al
lowing the cold winds to stunt its
growth? Every child is in it's nature
perfect and a genius, all it needs is
the sunshine and rain of love and wis
dom and it will unfold itself beyond
human conception.
When asked the question "Can my
child learn music?" his reply is
Music is not learned destroy error
and you are already musician"
but don't have to study music?"
No. Music cannot be studied, what
you see printed as music is not music
and the learning of 1t and all the
great masters have ever known be-
side, will not make musician, or un-
fold the true genius" What then
shall do?" First learn the science
Of the soul. mind and spirit, then,
when you have found it follow those
laws; one hour Of serious study Of
Psychic Law viii! make a greater mu-
stefan than 10 years Of studying must

After long and prayerful consid-
pration, |. have decided that 1t is best
to offer my resignation as your presi-
dent, at the meeting in October, and

the term of my service, and ! am tru-
ly grateful.
May | ask that you give as much
thought as possible to the helpful
ness and effectiveness of the meeting
Hoping to see many from each club

Yours faithfully,

Cat"
1t is said, not unkindly, that
Nine. Nazimova's tremendous ar
tistic power is caught from the fe-
line species.
She purrs or roars like the lion
ess. Her tall, sinuous body, her
tightly caught hair, her flashing
eyes, her hands that may be soft
pads now and venomous claws a
moment later-all these suggest
the cat.
| Nazimova denies 1t. She de-
clares that she has not intention
Tally drawn her art from the feline
beast. She doesn't even like cats
But all the critics insist that her
Ipurrings, her physical contortions,
her soft caress and her tigerish
stage passions are true to the life
and the ways of the cat. Wher-
ever this wonderful Russian Jew
ess found her expressive art, it is
certain that it is powerful and
unique. In the dark blue Ibsen
dramas, in which she is now ap-
pearing, her talent shines, a bril-
liant star.
From obscurity on the stage of
a cheap East Side theater in New
York, Nazimova has in five years
jumped into the first rank of her
profession. Five years ago she
could not speak the English Ian
guage. Now her words thrill her
audiences. She is one of the high
est paid American actresses, and
her friends lay claim for her to
the title of "our greatest emotion
al artist"

TROUBLE IN ROYAL PALACE.
Tidings Borne by Amateur Actor Suf-

The Shakespeare club OF New Or
leans used to give amateur theatrical
performances that were distinguished
for the local prominence of the actors.
Once a social celebrity, with a gor-
geous costume, as one of the lords in
waiting had only four words to say:
The queen has swooned." AS he
stepped forward his friends applauded
vocferously. Bowling his thanks, he
faced the king and said in high
pitched voice The swoon has
Queened."
There was a roar Of laughter; but
he waited patiently, and made an,
other attempt;
The sween has cooned.'
Again the walls trembled and the
stage manager said in a voice which
could be heard all over the house;
Come off, you doggoned fool"
But the ambitious amateur refused
to surrender, and in rasping fal'
setto, as he was assisted off the stage
he screamed: The coon has
s~eened. "-Success Magazine.
