THE PARENTS LEAGUE.

occasion for offence Il he ventures t.
deplorc tho actions OF the parents
League" in recommending Shaw's An
drocles and the Lion" as an entertain
ment for the young II seems another
instance Of projecting upon youth the
disillusions OF age.
Even with the proteseedly orthodox
Christian Il Is hard to sustain the yeri-
ties OF religion, and as life goes on and
spiritual promptings become fainter. II
Is conceivable that What once stirred
and animated the soul can. without re
pulsion or protest, be made material for
ridicule and laughter. But why deny
the young their ideals and enthusiasms2
why, above ALL. deprive them Of the
chance. though one In a hundred, that
their ideals may survive longer than
ours have survived?
The patriot. in our own annals, can be
transformed into a farcichl figure as
well as the early Christian martyr Shall
we hold Washington up TO ridicule for
the entertainment OF the young and
feed their patriotism upon fhe spectacle
OF the miseries of the prison ship mar

result Of the company's bankruptcy

begun suit or had made known their
intention to attempt to recover the
money due them.
Nothing in all the career Of the
Chicago Opera Company is * sur

they were TO receive are out of all pro-
portion to their regulations. here or
abroad. Whether they were engaged
by ignorant amateurs or designing
oficials II is impossible to say. But
1t Is true that the preposterous fat
salaries paid to certain singers must
have brought TO bankruptcy any Or

a time when singers were eager to
