DETECTIVES A MENACE.
Interesting Lecture to be Given by
DR.. Alexander Johnson To-
morrow Night.

The illustrated stereoptican lecture
to be given by DR.. Alexander Johnson
tomorrow night at the High School,
comes at particularly opportune time.
1t was just recently that the Evening
News published the annual cost of car
ing for the detectives in our county as
more than twenty-five thousand dol
lars, half Of which is paid direct by
the county, the other half being shared
by the state. This cost covers merely
the actual money paid to public insti-
buttons outide of the county where our
detectives are cared for. In addition to
this expense there is an incalculable
amount incurred by the amazing num-
Der of feeble minded who have not been
committed to any public institution and
who go right on marrying and bring
ing children into the world without let
or hindrance from the state. Feeble
mindedness is transmissable from par
ent to child and the multiplication of
the detectives is becoming a more
and more pressing public problem. In
the United States there are 100000
feeble minded persons Proper public
provision has been made for less than
10000. At least 100000 are without
suitable care and 10000 of these are
women of child-bearing age.
How important the problem is to Ke-
nosha is realized particularly by the
Associated Charities and other organi-
cations working for the welfare of the
unfortunate Many instances of pow
erty, pauperism and immortality brought
to light by this organization are traced
directly to feeble mindedness.
The same problem is seen in another
form in the schools where detectives
hold back the progress of normal
pupils, and where the bad influence of
the feeble minded children cannot be
prevented as long as they are not COM
mitted to proper institutions. All fee
bic minded lack self-control. They
yield easily to temptation. They often
drift into immortality and crime. Many
of them are objects of charity. Few
feeble minded children ever become
normal. They require individual train
ing which the public schools as now
organized do not give.
These and many other problems will
be discussed at the meeting tomorrow
night, in addition to the complete
annual report of the Associated Chart
ties which will be given by Miss Cott-
rell, the superintendent. The public is
cordially invited to attend. There
will be no admission charge.

SANG BOHEMIAN GIRL.
Light Opera Entertained Audience at
Rhode Opera House Tuesday
Evening,

One of the rare incursions of light
opera into Kenosha occurred Tuesday
night when the Aborn Opera Company
sang Bohemian Girl to q fair sized
house at the Rhode.
Since the days when the Aborn COM
pany retained several of the stars of
the lesser consultations, such as Joseph
Sheehan, Edith Helena and others of
their vocal proportions for their leads,
and had chorus made up almost en-
tirely of italian and German singers,
trained abroad, and few of them speak
ing English, it-has changed its eharac
ter.
Of its scenic properties, including
costuming, or the physical incongruity
of a singer to the role assigned, in
those old days, the managers, had they
used Bunker Bean IS phraseology, would
doubtless have said they could think of
nothing of less Importance. The music,
pure and simple, was their concern.
Now, although they still include in
their repertoire only classic productions
such as the beautiful and beloved FThe,
Bohemian Girl" and others of that
ilk, the music is no longer all. They
have dispensed with their stellar per-
formers and the European trained
chorus and instead have provided sing
ers whose physical qualities are I'M
doubtedly nearer. the requirements of
the roles they sing even though the
voices are lacking somewhat. They
have added such vaudeville attractions
tics are certain to amuse all who see.
The introduction of the "Dance of the
Hours" was pleasant Interpolation
in Tuesday night performance.
The Rhode management is to be COM
mended for giving Kenosha an oppor-
tunity to hear the classic opera sung
and to become familiar with its exqui-
site melodies, even if the aggregation
Of singers is not a notable one. It is
tenable position, even, that the Rhode
is doing greater public service in
bringing this opera which is within the
reach of all than it would have done
in bringing a higher grade, the expense
of production of which would have
made 1t necessary to charge prices for
the seats which would have put them
beyond the reach of many who enjoyed
this. Those who can afford to pay 81
seat for grand opera, as they had to
do to see it from the parquet when the
grand opera season was on in Milwau-
kee two winters ago, are able to see it
anyway, whether it comes to Kenosha
or not. It is those who would find those
prices prohibitive that may thank
Manager Rhode for providing them
with a lesser grade of production of
the fine old operas.
