Legion of Lost Child
Theme of OratOriO

Lawrence, Kas.. Jan. II (AP)-
The legend Of the child lost In the
| forest and protected from wild beasts
as by a guardian angel is the theme
of an oratorio, 1.-THE Guardian Angel"
written by Prof. Charles Sanford
Skilton of the University OF Kansas.
Its premier production will come
this spring at the meeting Of the
Kansas Federation of Music Clubs.
Into the oratorio is woven much of
the religious spirit of the Moravian
settlement Of 1865 at Salem. N. C..
Many quaint customs Of the Nor.
avians are brought out. Professor
Skilton learned the legend while
Salem, soon after completing HIS
musical education in Europe.
The Moravians had moved south
ward from their earlier settlement at
Bethlehem. Pa, and had endeavored
to make homes in the hills Of North
Carolina. 1t was their custom to di-
vide church congregations into
"choirs", one of which was composed
entirely of children. At stated sea
sons OF the year each choir held q
love feast. The children observed
this custom on Christmas eve, when
they sang song beginning, Jesus
makes my heart rejoice"
This song furnishes the central
thread for the oratorio. which 10
divided into three sections. In the
first section group of children seeks
permission to play in q meadow
where men are working near a for.

of one child with its mother. The
mother demurs, but upon consulting

meadow but not into the forest. The
child. however, IL tempted by bright
red blossoms at the edge Of the
woods, and wanders deeper into the
timber. becoming lost and falling 10

In the second section the child
awakens. hears voices of it's play-
mates and attempts to answer their
calls but can not. The child IL held
down as II by a great hand. the iips
sealed by the fingers Of the hand.
Gradually the voices die away and
the child is able to make its way to
the edge Of the clearing where it is
found. The searchers discover the
tracks of a panther and their pious
belief is that an angel was sent from
heaven to prevent the child crying
out, and thus attracting the animal,
The third section takes up the re.
covery of the child, and the music
returns to the colonial simplicity OF
the opening choruses. The middle
sections however, are developed along
modern musical lines.

Indians Show
Marked Ability
In Use of Tools

Bismark. N. D.. Jan. IA (AP)-
Innate ability with machinery and
tools may eventually lead the Amer
lean Indian to q new place in the sun.
believes Clark B. Dickinson. head OF
the government Indian school for
girls here.
During his 10 years in the Indian
service, Dickinson says, he has found
that the Indian has an ingenuity and
an ability with tools which most
white men would envy. This ID the
result, he thinks, of long centuries in
which the Indian was compelled to
devise tools to met his peculiar con-
ditions.
Indian boys make excellsnt auto
mobile mechanics, he declares, and
many have displayed proficiency in
other trades where steadiness OF hand
and accuracy of eye are assets.
