By f. S Rodgers. opt. D.

Glasses are a necessity for near
vision for almost everybody past the
age of forty-five. They do not repre-
sent an error in the structure of the
eye, although there may also be such
an error but an inability of the eyes
to adjust themselves for different dis
tances, due to a hardening of the
crystalline lens that render 1t less
responsive than in youth to muscular
manipulation.
1t is true that one may select from
a miscellaneous assortment of glasses,
something with which they can read
and have better near vision. But the
choice of glasses, If made in this
manner, is apt to be far from right.
1t takes no account of the structural
condition of the eye, which may also
be defective, and the lenses for
reading should be made to cover this
defect as well as the deficiency in
the, power of adjusting the eyes to
different distances. This makes such
selection by the wearer hazardous at
least.
The distant defect, If there is such
a defect, should first be determined.
even If the person is able to see at
distance quite as well apparently as
in youth. Then the addition needed
for the purposes of near vision is as
carefully determined. The reading

What is it?"

Colored people from this theatre.
What is it?"
I'll tell you this, went on Mr..
Hobhtzelle even more earnestly, I've
even gone so far as to provide you
people with an extra box Office. I've
put Colored ticket distributor in
that window. I've done a thousand
and one things that no other down
town theatre in the country has
done"
Mind you, I'd like to know just
how the Colored people of Dallas
feel about the New Majestic. 1t may
be that they do not know that they
have even greater comfort and con-
venience than they had in the old
house. They may not know that
the New Majestic is anxious to have
their patronage, to arrange even
greater space for them than they
have now"
Mr.. Hoblitzelle arose.-"Tm leav-
ing 1t to this committee. l am an

matter 1 am leaving it to you to
spread the welcome of the New
Majestic among your people"
I want the attendance among you

the medium of your press?"
Mr. Hoblitzelle was earnest in his
conversation. When it was ended we
promised him that his message should
be spread-his genuine welcome to
the New Majestic spread among our
people in these columns.

new MAJESTIC THEATRE
.MAGNATE SAYS NEGRO Pa
IRONS ARE WELCOME.
Tells Of Special Improvements Made
For Their Use-Laments Falling
OF In Attendance.

1t was found last season after the
opening of the New Majestic that
the number of Negroes who attended
the performances was steadily di-
minishing and this decrease became
so pronounced that Mr.. Karl Hob
litzelle of the Instertate Amusement
Company invited several of the
steady patrons to a conference to
determine the reason for 1t.
He was met a few afternoons ago
in his Office by a committee COM
posed Of Messrs. ]. s. Smith, w.
Sidney Pittman, j. A. Austin, J. w.
Rice and DR.. e. e. Ward.
During the course of the meeting
Mr.. Hoblitezelle made the following
statement:
Just why the Colored people stop
coming to the New Majestic, the
Majestic Management is at loss to
understand the reason. In building
the palatial New Majectic we gave
the Colored people a beautiful re-
ception room. We fitted it up most
attractively of Blue ard Old Ivory
Windsor furniture. We provided the
Chenille with tiled lavatories, we put
in an elevator so that they need
not climb steps; and yet. in the old
house where we had no such con-
veniences where we did nothing es-
pecially for their comfort, they came
by the thousands, while in the new
house we can count them on our two
hands"
II resolves itself into this, went
on Mr.. Hoblitzelle We ask this
committee here to ascertain whether
the Colored people desired this service
at the New Majestic. No other down
town theatre has provided the COM
forts, and the space for, Colored peo-
pie that we have provided. But, we
are filling every seat reserved for
the white people in this house.
Later we will turn them from the
doors as the season for thatrical
entertainment comes on"
I'll tell you frankly want the
Cplored patronage. I've always val
ued it, but I cannot reserve the
space indefinitely If I do not get the

men? Do you want it,"
We have approximately 500 seats
reserved for the Colored people of
this city. Including war tax they
cost 25c for the night performance.
For matinee. as you well know, they
cost 15c a piece" The price, of
course, is not what is keeping the

THE PARENTS MUST HELP.

The opening of our public schools
Monday gives rise to a thought ex-
pressed by every teacher at some
time during every school year In re-
gard to the best means Of obtaining
the practical cooperation OF parents
In the training OF their children.
Why is IL that Dallas has no
Mothers clubs or Parents Assocl-
atiOns to cooperate with teachers
and school officials in the direction
Of their children?
DO parents feel that their CO.
operation is not necessary?
Do they subscribe TO the false
theory that "the teacher is paid to
rear the child?"
Or have they failed of practical
organization because OF lack OF lead
ership or belief that their efforts
would not be welcomed by teachers.
Present day life has rendered the
satisfactory control Of children well
nigh impossible without definite and
well directed efforts on the part OF
parents at cooperation with school
officials.
The child who feels that the pa
rent is not concerned about his
progress and behavior In school is
usually the child with whom the
teacher has the greatest amount of
trouble.
Such trouble with children OF this
sort land IL reports from teachers

grounds and buildings, the improve
ment of general health, the gaining
of increased facilities could result
from an association, composed OF
parents working with teachers along
practical lines.
II is tl,ing worthy Of more
than passing consideration as O

the greatest contribution to ebilds
success in after life Is sn education.
