ADJUSTMENTS
Columbia.

Any doubt that may have existed
heretofore that the Columbia Players
are an established institution dear to
the hearts of the younger element of
Washington theatergoers at least, and,
1t might be truthfully added, to a very
large element of the elders, must have
been speedily removed at the Columbia
Theater last evening, when the players
opened their fourth summer stock sea-
son. The enthusiasm was so spontane-
GUS, the outbursts so frequent and
genuinely sincere. that the beautiful
presentation of the beautiful play,
1.-THE Rose of the Rancho" upon which
David Belasco and Richard Walton
Tully collaborated with such undoubted
success, was almost marred for the
evening. And yet withal the audience
was supremely satisfied.
The appearance of each of the old
favorites, regardless of tho dramatic
situation, was greeted with such an
outburst of handclapping that every
thing had to be suspended for acknowl-
edsment, while Miss Frances Nelson,
the popular leading woman, actually
had to take a recess for few minutes
and then deliberately break away from
the enthusiasm to go on with her lines.
Nor was the generous welcome given
alone to the old favorites.
The newcomers, especially Edward
Hass Robins. the new leading man
Godfrey Matthews, the second man;
Carson Davenport, the splendid "old
man; ]. Hammond Bailey, the come
dian. and Miss Julia Blanc, who replaces
Miss Melville, were figuratively well
coined with opeH arms" and unmistak-
ably made to know that their coming
met with approval, and they were ac-
cepted as full-hedged members of a
theatrical organization the like Of which
Washington had never known before it's
coming three years ago. So much for
the welcome, because the welcome was
SO pronounced a feature of last evening S
performance that, including speechmak-
ing by every member of the company and
floral ovation to Miss Nelson, for a
time it seemed likely to obscure the play.
The Rose of the Rancho" is strongly
Belascoesque in it's opportunities for ex-
quisite stage settings. costuming and
lighting effects. In all of these Director
Edwin III. Curtis, who has planned the
productions of the players the past two
seasons, acquitted himself with rare taste.
The opening scene in the mission garden
at San Juan, with its wealth OF flowers,
its orange-laden trees. its dovecote with
real doves cooling on the ledge, its old
well. its sleeping padre, taking his siesta,
and Don Luis de la Tore. spark over

Plan for White Girls Here.
SUGGESTION OF REMEDY

| To aid in the fight for an industrial
! school for white girls in the District,
who would otherwise be sent to other
correctional institutions, DIR. A. S. Orne.
| father of the juvenile court" is in
Washington and will remain here while
the matter is before Congress.
Referring to the criticism of the COM
mitment of wayward girls to private
charitable institutions ordered by Judge
De Lacy of the local Juvenile Court. Dr.
Orne said today that it merely empna-
sized the need of the industrial school
for white girls, since the reform school,
originally intended for both white and
colored girls. has been given over en-
tirely to the colored girls. II. B. F. Mac
farland, before the executive committee
of the Chamber of Commerce yesterday,
called attention to the fact that these
commitments to private institutions We're
not warranted by law, while arguing for
the proposed industrial school.
Il wish to say that Judge De Lacy is
splendid juvenile court judge said
DIR. Orne, land he is doing a great
work"
Crimes and Criminals.
DR.. Orne, who has visited hundreds of
jails and almshouses throughout the coun-
try. declared that more crime and Grind
nails are to be found in proportion to the
population in some of the large cities
than in the mountain districts of Vir-
ginia, Tennessee and Kentucky, although
those districts have been criticised again
and again for lawlessness.
He said:
why, criminals have increased 75 per
cent the past ten years, while our popu-
lation has only increased q per cent dur
ing the same period! Twenty-seven thou
sand murderers were put in prison in
1907, as against 1,OOO in 1887. And Amer
lea pays out annually 500 600, 900 more to
punish crime than she pays for every
branch of religious humanitarian and ed
ucational work"
Solution Suggested.
Dr. Orne believes that the solution to
this problem is best to be found in the
establishment of state co-educational
homes, to which dependent boys and girls
between the ages of seven and sixteen
years can be taken and taught trade
above all place where they can be kept
busy and not allowed to roam the streets
and become saturated with vice and
crime. DR.. Orne has materially aided the
establishment of such schools in other
states.
But the dependent children, who should
be taken in hand by the state, are only
small part Of juvenile humanity. In
his nationwide study DR.. Orne has seen
how thousands of children are trained
in the best of families for lives of crime,
are never taught by their ignorant IA
theirs and mothers the things SO import
ant for them to know.
During more than quarter century
dealing with deficient and delinquent chill
dren, a majority of whom have gone
wrong" says DR.. Orne, II am convinced
beyond peradventure that their fall is
due directly to the failure of parents of
the two fundamental duties they owe to
their offspring.

Duty Toward Children.

First, parents should at all times. from
earliest childhood, have that priceless
possession, the genuine confidence of their
child; confidence which will cause the
child not merely to obey, but also to trust
and to feel implicitly that the parent is
at all times and under all circumstances
the best friend, the most constant COM
panion and the wisest and most willing
councillor.
Second, in order to earn and to de-
serve his confidence, parents must be
frank in responding to the natural in
quiries of their child; yea, more. they
must divine the unspoken question at the
right time, and answer 1t clearly and in
manner that will invite further ques-
tions as the child develops into manhood
and womanhood.
II know the difficulties involved in this,
even for the more intelligent and educat-
ed parents. But l know only too well
that too many parents live in a fool S
paradise of belief that their silence spells
ignorance and innocence on the part of
the children"
