JUNIORS FIND LANDSCAPE
DIFFICULT TO DRAW

TT appears that Junior artists do not
care to draw landscapes. There
n were surprisingly few in the col
lection of original drawings received
last week, and altogether the topic
what see from my window" was not
a particularly successful one.
The delineation of simple views is
quite as important feature of the
drawing department as are pictures of
the faces and figures of children, and
there will be more of these topics Off
cred until the boys and girls become
so familiar with the work of this sort
that they can sketch mountains, trees
and meadows without the slightest
hesitation.
There were several pictures which
were rather good last week, but they
were nearly all by the regular con-
tributors. There seemed to be little to
interest the newcomers to the Junior
page. Among the best of the pictures
received were those from Virginia r.
Smith, Alb Islay street, Santa Barbara;
Margaret r. Bennett, 1410 Ell Molino
street, Sixteenth street SCHOOL, Kitty
Carlson, 921 East Fiftyfourth street,
Hooper avenue school. and Bernadette
Heerdink, 2128 EStrella avenue, Beren-
do street school; Marie House, Pine
avenue school, 753 Cedar avenue, Long
Beach; Purman Bennett, 14O1 Ell Molino
street; Martin Pollard, 3031 Minnesota
street and T. Irene Tanner, Psi East
Thirtieth street. Thirtieth street school.
In the topic this week, my dream of
vacation" each boy or girl will have
an opportunity of expressing in draw
ing whatever sport he or she enjoys
best, and there ought to be many de-
lightful pictures upon this topic.

Vicarious Suffering
THERE are and women to-day who suffer for

unnecessary sorrow trials Worries cares TeSpOnS1O1l-

going beyond the virtue point They are con-
stanty killing real self sacrifice by their protests
spoken unspOken. Theirs IS not sacrifice in Its
full bloom it is merely self sacrifice gone to seed.
They may even fear TO change because of a scene
what people will say preserve peace. This
not real virtue, but moral COwardiCe. Any of dozen
anemic motives may bring the same resultant weak
ness. They unjust to themselves, and therefore
to Others. Their life is changing them, weakening
them, lessening their powers to do their duty to
their children to themselves to society, and to the

slaves to the devils of the world.
y certain amount of self sacrifice of bearing

TTAYE YOU ever noticed how one of those red
edition toy balloons may be inflated from the
smaness of an everyday fig into the glorious large
ness of a muskmelon and then, with a single breath
of extra pressure, 1t eXplodes into hopeless me
mortal of past powers!
Many man has killed moral strength by over
feeding let virtues degenerate into vices by over
developing, as athlete Overstralns his physical
muscles Nature the battle of life, attacks strong
individuals the side of their strength, weak ones
on the side of their weakness. Its moral fight to
finish. The battle never ceases; never for moment
does the flag of truce wave Thus does Nature test
men; thus does she determine moral victors.
He who has fought to capture fortress of self
victory must fight to keep it. The man who reCog-
nizes his weakness of will may fight his way up to
the heights of right rmnesS but having attained It.
he may be determined to become tlr1ner and trner
until his firmness has become obstmacY.
Evil is a good weakened a good carried to eX-
cess Good is an evil Weakened it is the central
point on the balance bar of Justice On this bar of
balance firnness the virtue, occupies the precise
center with weak will and obstinacy as extremes
Make weak will stronger, and 1t moves closer to hrn-
ness till it becomes tirmness Increase flrmness. and
it becomes obstinacy. Decrease obstinacy, and 1t
reaches the desired point of firmness.
No Exceptions to Law of Extremes
THIS law of the extremes is universal in the mental
moral and physical world, there are eXCep
tiOns. 1t would be as foolish to have two standards
in morals one for measuring good and the other for
evil, to have two thermometers in a room, one to
determine the heat and the other register the cold
This view OF good and evil merely varying de
grees OF quality, not accord with the popular
idea that between them is a great gulf fixed.
Some believe that right and wrong absolutely an
tagonistic, made up of different material running on
distinctly far-separated moral rails. This view is
true to human nature, experience life, and justice.
They who so think lose of Natures glorious
messages, her most inspiring helps to humanity. She
seems almost to hold out her hand to the individual
she says to HIM sWeetly, tenderlV. and kindly.
Remember that good and evil the same
moral line and differ only in degree If YOU miss
Your bearings for little, if YOU have been weak or
done wrong YOU cannot get really lost the straight
line of morality. You must only keep lesSenng the
evil as rapidly as you till YOU reach the good
You are seeking Decreasing evil always means
arrival at good as terminus. Having attained the
virtue YOU seek, stand fast and courageouslv there
and fight to hold what you have Won Guard care
