Change of Opinion
Toward the Theater

She is too bright and too expe-
rienced person not to have
rather definite opinion upon a ques-
ton Of that kind, lying so close as
it does to the line of her own in
terest and pursuit
I have always wondered why It
was that, communicative as she
proved to be upon all other matters
to which her attention was called,
she was so reticent upon this.
Even among distinctively church
circles there has been, during the
last so years, a decided change Of
opinion, or at least of usage, as to-
ward the theater.
Whether the truth Of the case is
to be stated by saying that change
of sentiment induced change Of
usage, or change Of usage induced
change of sentiment, is a question
about which opinions might differ.
We know that in such matters
people sometimes alter their Gus
toms and habits first, and then ad-
just their opinions to match.
1t is rather commonly the case
that we shape our doctrines to fit
our behavior rather than our be-
havior to fit our doctrines, and,
having learned to allow ourselves
modes Of living and doing that
conscience would at one time have
forbidden, turn around and fix over
our doctrine in a way to satisfy the
necessaries of our altered and per-
haps deteriorated behavior; for we
do like to keep our conduct and our
creed somewhere in sight Of each
other, whether by prodding the one
or by curbing the other.
This is not, however, to be taken
as a critique upon the theater, for

Questions in

Q.-"You have stated in The
Georgian that two balls of equal
size but one weighing twice as
much as the other, if dropped from
the same height at the same time.
would strike the earth at the same
time. Please explain the reason
why the heavier one does not strike

A.-Newton made the capital
discovery that action and reaction
are equal And by his law of gravi-
tation, its attraction between any
two bodies is directly as the prod

is clear that if the mass of any
body increases, the force of attrac-
ton also increases at the same
rate and also its specific speed. In
a vacuum, free from friction of air
all bodies, whatever their respective
masses. obeying the attraction of

TN an interview which it was my
pleasure to have with Madame
Bernhard a year or two ago,
one question which I asked her she
failed to answer
She had told me that any In
quiry which might make of her
she would reply to, but in one in
stance she was evasive, and very
much to my regret. for I felt that
her answer to that particular
question would reveal a good deal
to me as to the moral and reli-
gious attitude of her own mind.
The inquiry to which I failed to
receive a reply was this: DO you
give your preference to the pulpit
or to the stage, considered as means
of human uplift?"

He says 500 county jails have been

upon the recommendation OF the
board, Ave have been closed, and ut
present two jails are In course Of con-

thority upon the board to inspect m

He also believes the board should

board and conducted under strict
state supervision. County agents
should be empowered by law to make
visits in all cases in which children
are placed In institutions other than

Mr.. Murray recommends that legis-

counties In Michigan the system OF
