Letters From the People

taught by what he claims is the
most modern method of teaching
the deaf-the science of lip read
ing.
The intelligent deaf of the entire
world almost to a man are against
the pure oral, and are in favor Of
the combined system. Pure oral
is fraud perpetuated upon an un-
suspecting public. 1t is founded
upon sentiment and sustained by
sentiment. The educated deaf the
world over are in favor of that
method which does the greatest
good to the greatest number, and
that is the combined system 1t
would be just as well to conf1ne the
teaching of hearing children to the
purely oral method.
The great objection deaf people
make to oral teaching is that the
teaching is done only bN speech
They do not decry oral instruction
for those who can profit by it. but
they are opposed to the efforts Of
the oral propaganda to make their
method of instruction to which all
must submit, no matter what their
mental or physical limitations.

Children of Anger.

The children Of anger are rage
and fury which are born and fun
grown on the instant and the mo-
ment they appear reason dies The
man who is in fury throws away
his weapons without knowing it
His shield fans; his sword snaps,
he can not even see his enemy. and
strikes wildly and at random He
is no longer a man but a raging
brute he has delivered himself to
folly To give way TO anger is to
throw away your brains and sink
to the level Of the unreasoning
beasts OF the jungle The angry
lion becomes the easy prey of the
cool marksman
Whatever YOU do in. anger YOU
always repent Of No more unwor-
thy words were ever spoken of the
Almighty than those which repre-
sent Him as breaking out in
blaze Of wrath against those who
had offended Him That is impos-
sible to deity In this regard the
old pagans We're more respectful
toward their imaginary gods They
ascribed to them many human
weaknesses but they did not rep
resent them as bursting into fts
Of useless fury love kept bis
Olympian temper and made sport
Of his enemies.
The most god quality that
man can have is the ability TO con-
troll anger He that is slow to an
ger is better than the mighty. and

A petition to congress. signed by

secure the passage Of measure
prohibiting more than two terms in

the Monroe doctrine, would help to
preserve and hand down TO pos

In war the fire of anger becomes q
confagration. It spreads like
flames on q. dry prairie Then fire
8 fought with fire. 1t can no long
er be put out with water. The
water itself burns.
The greatest condemnation of the
spirit of war is the fact that it
breeds and cultivates anger. It
spreads the infection from individ-
uais to masses of people. The after
scenes Of battlefield are terrible
commentary on the crime of giving
way to anger. The greatest heroes
of war are the greatest brutes.
When Caesars soldiers stormed
Bourees they "slew every human
being that they found-men. wom
en- and children alike" Out of
10000 who were within the walls
only 800, who had fled at the first
sound of the attack. remained
alive It is an adn1irer and de-
lender Of Caesar who makes this
awful statement.
No Repentance.
There is this additional condem-
nation Of the anger that war
arouses. viz, that it is not followed
by repentance in the same way that
it is in the individual soul. The
man who has struck down his child
in fit of anger repents on his
knees. and he who has slain a fell
low man or ruined him in thought
less wrath is filled with remorse
But when has a nation repented in
sackcloth and ashes for the wrongs
that it has done, and the cruelties
that it has inflicted, in the course Of
a victorious war?
Anger is mans deadiiest enemy
and it houses in his own soul.

David Belasco, one of Americas
greatest theatrical managers and play
rights, in speaking of the various ad-
vertising mediums recently, said that
he had found that the best results were
to be secured from newspaper adver-
Using. They are, he declares, the
most direct means for reaching the in
dividual. Mr.. Belasco continues:
IF a man and his wife suddenly de-
eide after dinner to attend the thea
ter, they do not rush out on the
street and scan the billboards for half
a mile; they refer to the amusement
column of todays paper. If they can
not find it they hunt up yesterdays. So
this column Is a standing guide to the
theater goers. Under present condi-
lions / am convinced that the daily
newspaper carries stronger influence
and secures better results
All of which is sound common sense
and will be endorsed by thousands of
business men who appeal to the pub
lie through advertising.

A new system of street lighting has

parently solves the problem of orna.
mental illumination for residence
streets. The lights have been placed
on Oak street and lead into the Coun'
try club district by way of Brookside
boulevard to Broadway and Hunting
ton road. A lamppost that should be
ornamental by day as we'll as by night
was the purpose of the designer.
The post is Of iron bronze, about
- feet high, slender and graceful in
line. The shaft is fluted and the globe
is of ground glass II inches in di-
ameter. Electric lights are used and
milk white globes cause an unusually
effective illumination. The first cost
of the complete electrolier is little
more than that Of the ordinary street
lamppost, but there is no comparison
in effect, day or night.-Kansas City
