The disgraceful shooting affray at
Mt. Friendship (CoIored Camp, Sun
day, is deeply regretted and for the
second time within a period of six
years has cast suspicion on the
Camp in Mudge's Woods and caused
many law-abiding citizens to feel
that "camps do. more harm than
good. " We do not think that any
one blames the ministers in charge
or the good respectable negroes who
gather around 1.-the circle in en-
deavor to preach and live the gospel.
Nevertheless the camp seems to
draw a lawless class who delight in
committing depredations on the out
side. play crap and indulge in booze.
To be true the camp authorities may
not be to blame. Their jurisdiction
may only be within the camp grounds.
Nevertheless the fact that a woods
meeting is in progress proves a
drawing card for the lawless ele-
ment who take advantage of the
crowd to dispense their booze and
indulge in disorderly conduct. In
such cases would not more good be
ACCOMPLISHED by sticking to church
services and abandoning the woods
meetings altogether?

for some time, the men, and officers
are deeply interested in their work,
and altogether the outlook for our
militia is promising. There is no
telling at what time their services
might be needed and if needed for
active service, the response would
be quick and effective.

"'The rural school is the one lag
gard in the educational procession, "
declares E. T. Fairchild, Kansas,
State Superintendent of Public In
struction, in a monograph just pub
lished for free distribution by the
United States Bureau of Education.
This condition is due, among other
things, to the fact that the emphasis
of educational thought has been
placed on the city schools, and the
college, at the expense of the rural
school. Mr.. Fairchild also finds
that "the ever-increasing trend of
population toward the cities, and
the growing per cent of tenant
farmers, have had distinct and
deterrent effect upon our country
school,"
"The following is a true, though
not a full indictment, continued
Mr.. Fairchild. "Of the IL, 900, 900
rural-school children, constituting
a clear majority of the whole num-
Der of the youth of school age, less
than 25 per cent are completing
the work of the grades. The teach
ing body is immature and lacks
proper training. Terms are short.
"School buildings are poor, insani-
tary, and ill-equipped. The school
enrolment is constantly decreasing.
The supervisions wholly inadequate.
Cost of instruction is higher than in
the grades. High-schooI privileges
are denied the great majority of
these boys and girls. ''The strong.
virile, rural school of a generation
ago has gone, and in its place is
primary school weak in numbers
and lacking in efficiency. The
country boy and girl of this siren
uous and complex twentieth century
are not afforded equal educational
opportunities.
"A vital weakness in our rural
school system is the lack of genuine
demand for properly trained teach
ers. / have knowledge of one State
that bears an excellent reputation
educationally where, out of s, 900
rural school teachers in 1910, 4, 400
were found to have had no training

want to get more out Of the rural
schools, we must put more into
them. We can never have the best

public interest in them. The

that the street sprinkler is not done

it is to last over Sunday. The street

manager, he was compelled to reject
them all on account of the fact that
they could not dance or even pose
gracefully.
Twice the following week the call
for voices was issued and hundreds
responded, but not satisfactory voice
was found. 1t was as if Chicago had
not a golden voice in the city.
"Since I announced the opening of
my light opera school, I have received
a mum Der of letters asking me to ex-
plain what I meant by upsetting all
precedents by maintaining that there
were other branches outside of grand
opera which required as much atten-
ton, cultivation, beauty and thought"
said Miss Macdonald. Il admit 1 am
somewhat of an iconoclast by shatter~
ing the grand opera idol and demand
ing that more attention be paid the
light opera school, but I think I am
right in my stand and believe I have
arguments to prove it.
my desire in starting this slight
opera school is to interest people in
that particular line of endeavor, to
bring out voices and persons who can
sing and act light opera roles instead
of those who stride and strut through
the heavy scenes of the grand operas"

MEAL DISAGREED WITH HIM.
Francis III. Sayles, Topeka Actor, Tells
Anecdote About WhiteSide.

Francis H. SayEes. of the North Bros.
Stock company playing at the Majestic,
who resembles Walker Whiteside, star
ring in the New York production of
1.-The Typhoon,'' a story of Japan, tells
an anecdote on his near-double. The
story was originally told to Mr.. Sayles
by a friend who was with Mr.. White
side when he opened as Hamlet in a
city in Ohio.
About 7:30 O'Clock on the evening of
the opening show, the star walked into
the dressing room of Mr.. Say1es' friend
and sat down. He was in his street
clothes. As time for the curtain to rise
drew near the friend said: 81 beg your
pardon, Mr.. Whiteside, I don't wish to
hurry you away, but isn't it time for
you to begin making up?''
Never mind" was the reply, II know
what I'm doing"
Just before the time for the curtain
to go up, the manager of the theater
called, protesting against the stars ac-
ton. Whiteside told him that if he
didn't like his style to announce that

TOO MUCH LOVE-
Cannot Be an Excess of the Kind That
Clements Man and Woman.

Too much love of wife for a hus-
band will always end disastrously for
the home!" This is the opinion of
Mrs Albert G. Wheeler, jr., of New
York, who claims that her frankly
oVerweening affection for her hus-
band was responsible for his GOODNESS
and their separation.
We rather suspect that the lady
conIuses too much love" with too
little knowledge of what love is" 1t
is the latter that is dangerous, not
the former. 1t is the latter that be-
comes synonym for monotony, that
leads to GOODNESS, separation, divorce,
newspaper interviews.
OF real love, not just a simple
phase of 1t, may rightly be said what
Paul said of charity. Real love suf-
fereth long and is kind. 1t does not
envy, nor vaunt itself. nor behave it
self unseemly. nor think evil, nor
readily become provoked.
Who imagineS that there can be an
excess of this kind of love or that it
could in any wise lead to unhappi-
ness and separation? On the con-
trary, it is the kind that cements a
man and a woman together for their
lives-the only kind that endures the
stress and struggles and mischances
of the years.
1t is not this kind of love in man or
woman that is banded about in the
divorce courts, that fills the flippant
pages of the newspapers that makes
CdSud1 disagreement into tdIal Of
lenses, that has the thought of pos
sible separation always in it's mind
and the word of it ever on its lips,
| that is always demanding it's rights,
| that has never heard the term self
| sacrifice.
1t took ages to develop this sort of
love, warm and yet chaSte, strong and
yet delicate, familiar and yet auStere,
| lofty and yet humble, ambitious and
| yet self-sacrificing, from the primi-
of ID
| ligion, civilization, chivalry, the refin-
| ing influences of women-these and
countless other influences have wat
| cred the marvellous blossom and
| brought it to its present type.
And it is the noblest product of the
! centuries. More wonderful than our
| tremendous fabrics of institutions and
| laws, more valuable than all the ad-
vances of science and of art, is this
gradual and almost miraculous trans
| mutation of a primitive relation into
| a sentiment at once simple and sub
lime that gives the word home" it's
| significance and the word life" it's
fullest beauty and meaning.
There is no cottage so lowly that it
| cannot house this product, and no
| palace so splendid that it may not
show the reversion to the ideas from
which the world has slowly lifted it
| self-ideas whose grossness is not
| concealed by the talk about the right
| to be happy or the other excuses for
hastily severing the most sacred of
human relations.

ONE VOICE IN FIVE HUNDRED
Few People Eligible for Light Opera
Singing, Say Experts.

Recently in Chicago over 500 voices
were tried in search of some that
would be suitable for singing light
opera music. Not one voice out of
the 500 was found satisfactory. Not
a voice that had the quality of tone
and volume required for light opera
work, not a person who had the nee
essary charm and grace for a light
opera prima donna.
Miss Christie Macdonald, the star
of THE Spring Maid" Andreas Dip
pei of the Chicago Grand Opera COM
pany and John McGhie, the musical
conductor, tried each voice carefully
in the hope of finding some which
would be satisfactory.
The occasion was the opening of a
singing class for light opera aspirants
by Miss Macdonald.
Miss Macdonald established the
school and hired an instructor to give
lessons twice a week to those whose

youth, vivacity and agility, yet wom-

pounds, and in age from Is to As ap-
piled for positions. One woman ap-

Miss Macdonald, Mr.. DIPPED and
Mr. MCGhie gave every applicant an
opportunity and the name of any per-
son possessing a voice of any degree
of quality was carefully taken. Some
fifty names Weretaken and these were
inspected by the ballet master, as to
physical requirements, looks and
grace and all but four dismissed. These
four were then given a second hearing
at the piano and all found wanting.
However, Miss Macdonald consented
to give them instructions.
Two girls were needed at once for

peration Mr.. DIPPED sent over several
