The principal buildings are the Raja
Yoga Academy and the Temple of
Music and Drama, the two domes and
pillared buildings that photographs
have made so familiar to most of us.
No photographs, however, can give
an idea of the perfect harmony of
these two buildings with their sur
roundings, which makes them such a
triumph of architecture Besides these
are the headquarters of the Universal

Katherine Ting|ey $ Raja Yoga System Of Education

DR.. George Wharton James, eminent
lecturer and the editor Of "Out West"
magazine, recently visited the inter-
national headquarters of the Universal
Brotherhood and Theosophical Society
at Point Iona, Cal, and lectured Oh
his experiences among the Hopi In
dians. At the beginning of his lecture
he spoke most enthusiastically on the
impressions he had received while be-
ing entertained, taken over the
grounds, and shown the various de-
partments of work, the homes of the
Raja Yoga pupils, the children at their
games, and many other interesting
features of the life in Lomaland. Dr.
James, as is well known, is a great

Every one knows by this time-or
ought to know-the main facts about
Point Iona: how that is the World
Centre of the Universal Brotherhood
and Theosophical Society; how that
some hundreds of adult students are
gathered there, from almost every
land and from many walks of life, to
form the headquarters staff of this
worldwide and, in every sense, I'M
portant movement; and how also it
contains a school, college and uniyer-
sity in which some three hundred
children and youths of both sexes are
receiving an education on very un-
usual and extraordinarily successful
lines.
Point Iona has succeeded in captur-
ing the attention of the world, GER
tainly; and inuumerable accounts of
it have appeared in the press Of
America, Europe and even Asia. Many
OF these have been marked by the ut
most enthusiasm; and this indeed is

life of his friends, the Hopis. 1t was
natural. therefore, that such a man
should be charmed with what he saw
in Lomaland, for it was the realization
of his dreams, and he did not fail to
communicate to his audience his own
enthusiasm, both during his lecture
and in conversation in the social cir

most magnificent views of the noun

West of the main buildings, down
over the hillside and on the cliffs close
to the Pacific, is the Forestry depart

quarters of it; for almost everywhere
one can see the evidence of the activi-

there by the ocean, acres and acres

Among the works of Madame Blavat-

Point Iona are the two monumental
works, Isis Unveiled" and "The Sec.

The Aroma of Athens''-ancient in
spirit, modern in mposition-must
feel that this Greek theater is per-
| haps the most significant place in the
world from the standpoint of drama.
1t should be mentioned also here that
the beautiful Isis theater at San Di-
ego is the property OF Madame Ting
! ley; and that from time to time plays,
/ both ancient and modern are repro
duced by the Lomaland students there
under her direction. In the Head
quarters house Madame Tingley has
! her collection Of rare and priceless
things collected during her several
crusades round the world; also her
splendid collection Of pictures, many
of them the work Of the great mysti-
cal and symbolic artist, Mr.. R. Machell,
R. 3. A, who is now student at Point
Iona.
A walk of about. a mile along the
crest OF the hill southwards from the
Greek theatre brings US to the indus
trial quarter Of Point Iona. Here, at
the head OF another beautiful canyon,
is the Aryan Tneosophical Press,
founded in New York year ago by
William Q. Judge. At the Ar--3n Press
are printed The TheOsOphi1-;l Path"
and Eel Sendero Teosofico,' respec,
lively the English and Spanish official
organs of the Theosophical Movement;
beautifully printed and beautifully il
lustrated mOnthlies; also the "Raja
Yoga Messenger" edited by staff OF
the older boys and girls of the Raja
Yoga College, and circulating among
children all over the world; and The
New Way" a monthly magazine foT
the prisoners in the gaols and pentiten-
tiaries-a periodical that finds great
favor all over the United States, both
with the convicts and with the prison
officials. It must be said that of all
these magazines, the printing and IL
lustrations are of the highest clasa;
nothing better is done anywhere. From
start TO finish they are all the work Of
Point Iona students. On the way
from the Greek theatre 10 the South
ranch, the industrial quarter, one
passes Camp Karnak, the home of the
| Literary Staff. At a stones throw
from the Press building, one sees the
house that shelters the ''Lomoland
Photographic and Engraving Depart
ment." This department is under the
control of graduate from the Raja
Vega College; in it are made all the
half tone blocks used in illustrating the
magazines. Here again the work is

One should mention also, that the

sion of every visitor, provided he be
not fanatically given, or roOtedly pre-
JUDGED and with a singular capacity
for seeing the non-existent. But even
strong enthusiasm, and ready and
skillful pen TO express it with, cannot
give an adequate account of the life
at Point Iona; it remains benefcent-
ly inexpressible, and one had to see
it in order to realize it's import and
value
1t is the fanatics and the prejudiced,
and above all those of them who have
never visited the place, who are re-
sponsible for the misstatements and
Misrepresentation that have occasion
ally been circulated in the past about
Point Iona. But the place and the
work done there are living contra
diction of all derogatOry and abusive
statements, living vindication of the
name of Theosophy, and of the mem
ory of that much misunderstood and
heroic woman, Madame H. P.
Blavatsky, the founder of the Theoso-
phical movement, and of her successor
as leader OF that movement, the late
William @. Judge. 1t is living monu-
ment to the genius of the present lead
er of the Theosophists, Madame Kath-
crime Tingley.
First there is the place itself, the
natural setting. A high hill, long
promontory, in the center of what
must be one Of the vastest panarOmas
of view that could be found in the
world. On the one side illimitable
ocean; on the other, San Diego Bay,
San Diego city, and-mountains-a

can mountains visible climate at
least as good as any that could be
found in the world; no great heat, no
great cold; the maximum of gracious

A dozen or so years ago, when
Madame Tingley went to Point Iona,
she found it a wild, sage-covered hill
side, populated by rabbits and rattle
snakes mainly, without water, roads
or buildings. Now it is a hive of in
dustry, a place of beautiful gardens
and fine architecture, we'll watered
with splendid roads. Most and best OF
all, it is the home centre of a certain
definite inspiration, the place whence

Our City Park

Some years ago some business men
with foresight set aside for public use a
boundary in Belington on Grim Avenue,
containing about acres and having some
very tall, thrifty, and shady Sugar Trees.
This place was at one time known as
Sugar Grove" to all picnicers. About
. years ago some enterprising men went
to work and put fence around this
Grove cleaned it up and put it in fine
shape-It was at this time that the name
Riverside Park" was given it-a very
appropriate name. Since then it has
been in the hands of the citizens of this
city to be kept up and to be taken care
Of For some reason the care of it has
been neglected and il now looks like #

The Man who starts with great care,
And who is always early to begin.
Who will answer to the call if there
Is the man who always wins.
The man who always carries smile,
And who is willing to help and lend.
Who tries to be worth while,
Is the man who always wins.
The man who is always on time,
And who is there if they send.
Who will stay on the firing line,
Is the man who always wins.
The man who never sights,
And is always ready to attend.
Who does with all mis- might,
Is the man who always wins.
The man who hustles without a throb,
And who writes neatly with pen.
Who always tries to get the job,
Is the man who always wins,
The man who does what'er he can,
And helps to cheer his fellowmen,
Who tries to reach the Holly Land,
Is the man who always wins.
The man who never drinks their beer,
And will stay out of the gambling
dens.
Who will always be sincere,
Is the man who always wins.
The man who will be kindly to all,
And who will not be their friends,
Who will be ready to answer their cali,

SOCIALISTS AND REFORM"

The Socialists attach but slight i'm

ments. They hold that the paramount
factor In politics is measures, not men
class interests. not personal quail
ties.
The Republican and the Democratic
parties and every reform party organ
lied by respectable" citizens are
alike founded on the present order Of
society, and consciously or uncon.
sciously they stand for the preserva-
zion Of that order and for the DONNA
ton of wealth. They are managed and
financed by the possessing classes, and
their public officials spring from these
classes or are dependent on them for
their careers. Whether they are per
sonally good, bad or Indifferent, hon
est or dishonest, capable. or incom-
petent, they are tied to the capitalist
class by environment, training, instict
and interest. Experience has demon
strated time and time again that good
