Monday-Misner Players.

On Monday afternoon, the third day
of Chautauqua, DR.. Leo. Taylor, sche-
duled for lecture on "Give the Boy
a Chance, talked on this and great
many other subjects. By attempting
to discuss too many present day pro-
blems instead of developing his chosen
topic so rich in possibilities, Mr.. Tay-
lor missed splendid opportunity of
being real help to people in coping
with the difficult boy problem. How
ever, during the few minutes that he
held himself to his subject, he pointed
out very well the necessity of inclul-
eating obedience into the hearts OF
children. There are four appeals for
obedience that may be made. The
lowest of these with fear as the basis
is absolutely necessary; because at
LINES none of the other appeals can
successfully be made. Hence the use
of the rod may be the only disciplin-
ary measure that will bring results;
but this should not be used unless the
other appeals have failed. An appeal
usually successful with even very
small children is made by extending
the hope of reward. A higher motive
still is appealed to by playing upon
the individuals sense of responsible
ty to duty; but the highest impulse to
obedience of all is that of love.
In prelude to DR.. Taylor's address,
the Misner Players gave miscellane-
Gus program which showed plainly the
ability which would shine forth in the
evening program, Peg O. My Heart"
This play, illustrating the truth that
there are diamonds in the rough OF
create worth by far than some which
are we'll cut and polished, introduces
"Peg', a child of humble origin, to
the home of super polished relatives.
The snubs and treatment she receives
in the face Of all her friendly over
lures almost breaks her heart. Even
tually, mainly by saving member OF
the family from a life of shame, her
strength and worth are made clear
The comedy abounds not only in situa-
tions of cleanest humor, but is also
replete with a pathos that grips ones
heart. Altho the players were young
this proved to be no handicap in their
presentation; for they showed their
training and understanding by living
the parts they played instead Of mere
ly acting them. The outstanding
characters were the impetuous, Irish
''Peg", the sissy, English youth
s, Alaric, and the observant, manly "Jer-
Tuesday-Reed-C Cochran.
On the Fourth of July two programs
of real merit were given by the John
Ross Reed artists, and Prof. [. M. Co
chran. Mr.. Reed possesses a full
well-rounded baritone voice Of excep.
tional pleasing quality. This coupled
with personality of grace and warm
charm won for him the glowing favor
of his audience. Miss Reed, a con
tralto singer, is worthy assistant Of
her brother. Mr.. Neuenshwander, the
pianist, was we'll received both as ac
companist and as soloist. The pro
gram of these artists was so balanced
that at it's conclusion the audience
had the feeling it had only begun. lr
the afternoon Prof. Cochran read
sketch from "Ben Hur" and in the
evening, the play, "The Man Of the
Hour. This play is strong plea FOL
