CHILD LEE In SONG.

UNDER THE AUSPICES OF THE
Rock Island Musical CLUB. Miss Helen
Waldo, interpreter Of Child Life in
Song" will appear in recital at the
New Harper Friday afternoon at 3
o'clock The entertainment is COM
plimentary to club members and their
children upon the presentation OF
membership tickets. Those in charge
Of the recital ask that ii be said in
this connection that all members who
have lost their membership tickets
must provide themselves with dupli-
rate tickets which may be procured
from Miss Mae Culton, chairman Of
the associate membership committee,
before the recital Friday afternoon.
No one will be admitted without the
presentation of her ticket. Children
who will attend must also have tickets
which may be procured from Miss
Bessie Noftsker previous to the day
Of the recital. as no child will be ad-
United without a ticket. The general
public will be admitted upon the pay
ment OF SO cents admission fee.
Miss Helen Waldo is a well known
concert contralto, whose love for and
sympathy with the children has led
her to devote much OF her life TO the
study Of the child mind, and has
found a medium whereby she has been
able TO reach their hearts as perhaps
no other person in a public career has
been able 10 do. II occurred to this
young artist that children are all
naturally singers and love music
Especially that expressed in song. 1t
remained but 10 find the kind of songs
that most pleased and at the same
time had an educative valne-the
songs that excited the Imagination
and stimulated interest. From the
nursery rhymes to animal airs and
songs of the open, which are charm
Ing nature songs. melodies for work,
lyrics of other lands, sung in the
original French, German, Dutch, Eng
lish, etc, and bed time songs, to that
ever new songs Of long ago, there is
not a moment that Is not replete with
plaasr-o
Jr Luese last numbers, Miss Waldo
changes her costume for that of the
little girl OF 70 years ago, with the
spiral curls, the long lace mittens
pantellettes and white stockings.
Is a wonderful transformation, yet the
child spirit never changes-just a.
the spirit of childhood has never al
tered from the beginning OF time
Miss Waldo introduces each humble
with a clever and sympathetic fey
words which are as charmingly rel
dered as are the songs.

SEEN As A MENACE.
SUNDAY Schools as Now Conduct
ed Are Deplored.
Too Many Frivolous and Unframed
Girls as Teachers Know Little Of
Children and How They
Should Be Taught.

Atlanta. Ga.-'The Sunday school
Is it is conducted today is a national
menace" declared Mrs. Frederick
Schaff of Philadelphia, In addressing
the Georgia mothers congress today.
Furthermore, she asserted too many
of the teachers are frivolous girls who
know little of children and how they
should be taught.
Mrs. Schaff, who is president OF the
national mothers congress, urged n
worldwide awakening Of mothers to
the fact that love and tenderness are
not sufficient for the proper rearing OF
children.
1T is the mothers place" she de
clared, to demand more OF the Sun

Love" declared Mrs. Schaff. can
not make a mother a good mother. IL
will make her well intentioned, but 1t
viii not give her the knowledge OF
what her children need. 1t will not
give her the ability TO train her chill
dren as they should be trained. The
thing we need is &c arouse the moth
ers and induce them to study their
children, to know them. and not to
bring them up simply by chance.
If We can only arouse the mothers
to see that they can prevent crime,
that in their hands lies the future of
the world. We will accomplish the
greatest thing attainable. Mothers
must be taught that as they SOW, SO
shall their children reap.
The mother can inculcate in her
children lessons that never will be
eradicatetd. She can make them good
or she can make them bad. Many
mothers leave the spiritual training
OF their children to the Sunday school
and the church. But what can the
Sunday school or church accomplish
with only a few hours training a
week. II this training is not continued
at home?
IF could only reach all the moth
ers In this country with the stories
that men In prison have told me OF
how they started wrong could con
vince every mother OF her responsi
bility.
"A child is not always getting spir
itual training at Sunday school ol

roundings there. Some preachers
benefit children. others do not. Yo,
