Lessons from Liberia and Haiti,
We can learn some mighty SER
ious lessons inst now from condi-
tons in Liberia and Haiti. For
years both in Liberia and Haiti
literary education and polite,
have been emphasized. but while
doing this the people have failed
to apply themselves TO the devel-
opment OF the soil mines and for.
ests. and the result is that from
an economic point OF view these
two republics have become de-
pendent upon other nations and
graces and in both the control oi
finances is in the hands OF other
nations. This is true notwith-
standing the fact that the two
countries have natural resources
greater than other countries oi
similar size.
In the United States there is NO
hope for us unless in an increasing
degree we teach our young peo-
pie TO apply their education to de-
velop the natural resources and to
the promoting OF human activities
in fne communities where they
live. Mere abstract unused edu-
cation means little for a race or
individual. An ounce OF applica-
tion is worth ton OF abstraction

The White Feather z
Interesting |! 8 10 Both
Germans and ] English
War Drama viii Remain in
New York until End OF
Season at Least.

'sThe Waite Feather" is to remain
at the Comedy theater in New York
until the end Of the current amuse-
ment season, and perhaps longer.
This play, which had been rejected
by several producing managers in the
belief that the war topic employed as
its background was likely to offend
one or another element OF the Ameri-
can population, has turned out to be
intensely interesting to German and
English spectators alike. This con-
dition reflects skilliul construction on
the part OF. the authors, who have
provided that while the British war
Office successfully overthrows tns
plans Of the German secret service
agents, the members Of this group are
actuated by, the highest patriotism and
meet their fate in the calm conscious
ness Of duty done for the Fatherland.
The drama carries SO much OF sus-
pense and constant surprise that II
doubtless would have been entirely
successful Il the battle OF wits be-
tween the contending factions had
been waged shy Representatives Of
purely supposititious governments.
THE White Feather too, is I'M
commonly well played by Leslie Fab
er, Eric Maxon, Alan Nude, Arthur
Elliott. John Burkell, Blaine Ines
cort, Cynthia Brooke, Jessie Glenden-
ming, Mabel Reid and Mabel Archdaw.
