The future of Russia was painted
in bright colors. The personalities
of this great country are immense,
the speaker said, and he predicted
that within this century Russia would
produce the greatest things in liter.
ature,, art, and craftsmanship.
In discussing Germany he told of
the wonderful economic conditions of
that country before the war, the alb
sence of slums, the fine training OF
her citizens. And yet, he continued.
out of Germany have come the two
greatest movements of. the last fifty
years, rationalism, and socialism,
which is, ample proof that the spirit
of social unrest was rife in that
country.
In America the unrest was pro-
duced by its mixed population and the
clash of ideals that this occasioned.
The speaker had good word even
for the heritic, the unbeliever, the
nationalist They are the leaders of
the worlds advanced thought, he
said, but he did not agree with their
opinions.
1.-THE nationalist says that the pres
ent war and all those that have come
before it are proof that christianity
is dead thing, that the thin veneer
of civilization has been scratched,
letting the ancient barbarian out.
"The heritic will tell you that since
the christian era there have been
fifty-three great wars, that thirty OF
these were between christian ma
tions, seventeen between christian
and pagan and only seven between
pagan and pagan.
Good Things From all Wars.
The speaker declared, however,
that the Bible said that all earthly
sins had to be atoned for in blood
and he said that every great war had
been a step toward democracy and
had brought fine christian influence.
| That America will lead the world
in christian thought and endeavor
after the war. was the belief OF the
sneaker. Here is Americas biggest
chance to heal the world. The Dig

the realms of education. patriotism
and religion.
Education especially was dwelt on.
The speaker characterized the schools

citizens. q take off my hat to the

Fault Lies In Schools.

Fault Lies In Schools.
What was the matter with these
boys? Why, nothing, the fault is in
the public schools. Our schools are
organized on the theory that the child
should tit the schools, whereas the
school should fit the needs of the
child" He spoke in highest terms of
the Gary. Indiana schools and their
facilities for developing the individual
child.
He told of the method followed in
the juvenile court of paroling a delln-
quent child to SOME man or woman in
that city who holds friendly relation
with the child and who is sort of
guardian.
| He told OF three boys whose father
was a drunkard and whose mother was
an invalid. They were convicted OF
some petty offence and thrown into
Jail. Judge Estelle said that a jail is
the vilest place on earth and the
greatest school for crime. These boys
learned about all there was to learn in
Jail and finally landed in the state re-
form school at Kearney. They were
after year brought back to Omaha
and paroled one to Catholic priest,

church and another to the Episcopal
rector Judge Estelle followed in his
address the career of Ben, who kept
straight for seven weeks, when Dr.
Loveland was called out of town for
a week and Ben went to see the movie
Dare Devil Dick, the Hero of the
Plains" and he, with some fifteen or
sixteen other boys saw the heroism or
crime as embodied in Dare Devil Dick
and everyone of them committed some
theft as a result of that movie. That
experience was the beginning Of the
lstrict censoring of pictures shown in
Omaha theatres. He said that it is a
very dangerous practice to let children
go alone to moving picture shows. The
theatre is dark and it is not fit place
for a child to go alone. He spoke OF
delinquent girls who were brought into
his court and said did you ever hear
the story of the prodigal daughter? it
is the story of the Bridge of Signs:
"One more unfortunate
Weary of breath,
Rashly importunate
Gone to her DEATH"
He said there is no gold ring and
no fatted calf and no feast for the
prodigal daughter"
Treat Promised Tonight.

tonight will draw the biggest crowd Of
the week to the chautauqua tent, when
the Hinshaw Opera company presents

flattering receptions, and The Mikado
is one of the strong numbers in it's
repertoire. The company is composed
of nine members and carry costumes
and scenic effects for all Of it's presen-
tations.
This afternoon the company gave
Opera Gems as a prelude to the lecture

call, and he was applauded from
one end of the tent to the other.
While, our sons are fighting for
democracy on the war torn frontiers
or France we at home must make
democracy worth fighting for"
The foregoing were some of the
oarbs of patriotism that stuck out all
over the larger subject of the ad-
dress. In opening, the speaker said
that we are living in the worlds
most 9rofoundest age. OF course
each succeeding age is the pro-
foundest age, but every new age
orlngs newer and greater problems to
solve. Today we have on our hands
the twentieth century unrest, not
only here but in all the world.
Future historians will find one Of
the causes Of the war in the rising
tide Of social unrest throughout the
world" he said. DR.. Herbert then
went on to tell how this unrest is
effecting all countries of Europe from
stolid England, and republican France
and Portugal to car ridden Russia
and kaiser strangled Germany. He
told Of the great upheaval that cost
the czar his crown.

The Afternoon Program.


dren and songs of birds, gave half
hours prelude to the afternoon pro-
gram yesterday.
She gave one reading from James
Whitcomb Riley, one in which she
gave a half dozen bird calls, after
which she gave a Friday afternoon
school program Of pieces and essays.
By far the most realistic thing she
gave was the impersonatlon OF a baby
crying, the motions Of her hands and
the contortions of her face We're won
derfully like those made by tiny
baby.
The lecture Of the afternoon was by
Judge Lee S. Estelle Of the juvenile
court Of Omaha. Judge Estelle was
district attorney in Omaha in the SOS
and while in that office came TO the
realization that society was largely
responsible for a childs becoming de-
linuuent and that the court did not
mete out Justice to me children who
were brought before it. This was be-
fore the days of Juvenile courts. Much
of Judge Estelle's policy in presiding
over the Juvenile court came as a re.
suit of his observations when children
were tried and sentenced In the same
bar with adult criminals, His talk
was q recital Of half dozen exper-
fences he has had in the Omaha court
and the results of certain lines of deal
ing with children.
He told of one boy who refused to go
to school because he hated the teacher
and could not get along with her. His
father could not make him go to
school and so he was brought into the
Juvenile court by the probation officer.
When the Judge asked him to tell why
be could not get along with the teach
err he replied: II didn't do nothin' but
read this book" and he drew from his
pocket a. little book, Familiar Science.
The nudge asked him why he wanted
TO read that book instead OF work
arithmetic problems and study geog-
"a phy as the teacher babe him. The
bov said "Why, do you know Judge,
this book says there are seven colors
in every ray of light, just seven.
Know it's so, for when the light comes
through a pane of beveled glass in the
west window at home it makes line
Of those seven colors on the floor.
Then do you know Judge, that every
snow flake has just six sides.-eVeIy
single one is six-sided." The boy in
his ca gerness to tell the wonders he
had learned from that book forgot he
was in court and all else but the mar
vel of science. So the judge had the
teacher let him read his book for
certain period every day and there
was no more trouble.
He told Of another Omaha boy, who
was punished for drawing pictures and
refused to go to school and coming
with the truant officer to the court
after several hours the Judge found
what was the matter and that boy was
allowed to use pencil and paint
box This was before art work and
drawing had been introduced into the
schools. Today the speaker said this
boy is an artist whose pictures have

Politics were briefly discussed.
The speaker holly condemned the rot
ten conditions that exist in some
parts of the country and especially
deplored partnership

erican politics If we must bury parti-
onship under the sod"
Although a high compliment was
paid to President Wilson, congress
was given a flashing.
Il want to see a congress IS dig
as the American people, he said.
The speaker took the finer things
from socialism and would apply
them to America.
I'VE look to the time when every
man will have decent job in de-
cent place at a decent wage.
In closing, DR.. Herbert spoke Of the
future of the church. He said that
church should have a large part in
the moulding Of the newer national
ism, the bringing about of human
brotherhood 1.-The church that does
not stand for service will die he
declared.

things that divide them are of small
moment They should get together

live in"
