Children On the Stage

Can children's parts be successfully
portrayed by adults and is early ex-
perience necessary for the development
of great actors?
The Survey a magazine which rep
ressnts the National Child Labor COM
mittee and other organizations for i'm
proving social conditions. and Mr.
Francis Wilson. the New York actor
manager, have been engaged in live
" tilt over what The Survey calls
Child Labor on the Stage" but which
Mr.. Wilson believes Is the training
of dramatic genius" Mr.. Everett W.
Lord, secretary for New England Of
the National Child Labor committee,
contributed to The Survey an article
explaining why the committee fought
so successfully in Massachusetts to
prevent the appearance of children on
the stage.
Mr.. Lord claimed few child actors
attain prominence in later life and
that premature appearance on the stage
is a positive injury to their health and
morals.
Mr. Wilson. who led a campaign in
Boston in favor of a revision Of the
Massachusetts, law, believes it is neces-
sary TO allow children 10 appear in
walking and speaking parts to present
properly many plays and to start the
development of the actor at an age
before ne becomes self-conscious- He
showed that many of the actors men
toned appeared at ages younger than
those given in the article.
In answer The Survey asserted that
there are many actors who began their
work at ages ranging from Ii to % or
long past the awkward period of ado
lescence and as proof that the actors
calling is unhealthful showed that life
insurance companies discriminate
against the profession.
Mr.. Wilson rejo!ned that it Is i'm

latfon such as that in Massachusetts
because 1T is not yet general. and has
been in force but a short time. He
offered a list of la actors who began
their careers under II to disprove that
"the majority of actors began their
careers not as children" The Survey
suggested that the success OF these &C
tors was in spit Of their early start.
Mr.. Wilson then wrote to the New
York Times that the computation by
the companies as to the mortality Of
actors includes acrobats. who risk
their lives many times daily" and that
a new computation is being prepared
with these performers eliminated

may be that The Survey would have
to modify its statement that the death
rate OF young and middle aged actors

ID ERLIN. Germany. Aug. 1s.-The
N attitude OF the German state to-
ward its laboring CLASSES is pa
ternalistic to a degree almost impos-
sibie for an American to comprehend.
This system Of paternalism is the out
growth of feudalism, autocracy and the
operation of centuries of the Roman
law. In its present form, the pater-
nalistic care of the laboring classes is
distinctively Prussian in origin and
form.
Bismarck based the present German
Industrial system upon the precedent
of the socalled {Prussian common law
This common law was promulg gated by
king Frederick William II. on July 1,
1894, date which synchronizes with
the climax of the French Reign of Ter
ror. This law proclaimed: TT is the
duty of the state to provide for the
sustenance and support of those of its
subjects who cannot obtain subsistence
for themselves. Work adapted to their
strength and capacities shall be sup
piled to those who lack means and op-
portunity of earning a living for them
selves and those dependent upon them.
The state Isl bound to take such meas
ures as will prevent the restitution of

travagance.
Guarantee of Living.
Thus. more than a century ago Prus-
STA pledged itself as a state to afford
support to every subject OF the Prus-
sian crown. This legislation amounted
to very little more than a declaration
Of principle, since little was done to
make it effective. Following the sec
ond French revolution of $50 some ef-
fort was made to carry out these prin-
cipies. But 1t was not until Bismarck
was in complete control of German af-
fairs that any systematic and honest
effort was made to redeem this promise
of the state to It's subjectsthe prom

girls were well able to look after them

Iyta's stiletto had a hilt of polished
wood, triangular blade and was en-
cased in red leather. It was so small
that she could hide it in the hollow OF
her hand She only laid it aside while
performing or practicing, when she
gave it to- one of her sisters. l smiled

"Politeness has nothing to do with

Lyta's love and surrender.
He .mumbled something between his
teeth, then said aloud: Whether you
want to believe me or not, 1 have want
