DOES A LITTLE SUCCESS
BECOME A DANGEROUS THING?|
Letter From Mother Whose Sons Cleverness in
Amateur Performances Has Apparently
se Determined His Career

IA LETTER comes to me from a parent
~ who is deeply concerned over the at
titude she should take in regard to her
sons choice OF career. Unlike so many
parents, she has not set her heart on
making Of Billy" a doctor, a lawyer, a
merchant or a chief. as the case may be,
but wants to feel that in choosing his
vocation he will be doing that for which
he is most adapted.
The lure Of the spotlight Is strong for
this boy from the tone Of tile letter. Like
so.fnany others, a fair measure Of success
as an amateur has quite turned his head.

or Barrett in embryo. But after all.
wild applause following fairly clever
"stunt" at an amateur performance, and
before an audience composed OF indul.
gent relatives and friends, is quite diff.
ferent thing from the 'get.the.hook' at.
mosphere which may be in store for him
IN the real theatrical world, and l think
this mother has taken quite the right
stand. for a few months on the road will
show of what stuff he is made, and he
probably will return a sadder but wiser
youth.
The letter reads In part: THE boy be-
longs to that large class of the divine
average which shows no marked gift. He
can handle a hammer as we'll as ninety.
nine other boys out OF every hundred; he
reads inteIllgently and selects the best
books for his reading; he impersonates
rs we'll as others of average talent, and
he has done some amateur theatrical
work; he can strike n bargain as keenly
as any wideawalee boy OF nineteen. II
you will look over this enumeration you
see that some phase of reading holds the
