Winsome Bluebird and Mrs. VIM
some were never so upset in all
their lives. Their three white chill
dren had disappeared. But in place
of them were three of the strang
est blue Bluebirds that ever lived.
1t was plain that they We're young
birds and it was certainly plain that
perience Mrs Winsome never had
seen quite such blue Bluebirds. You
see, these birds We're blue all over
and no Bluebirds of Mrs. Winsome's
acquaintance were blue all over.
Then, too, it wasn't the same blue
as the coat that Winsome wore, or
even the one that she wore. 1t was
a lighter blue. And the queer part
OF 1t all was that these three young
Bluebirds claimed that they were
the white children of Mr.. and Mrs.
Bluebirtl--the albinos who had
caused Winsome and Mrs. Winsome
SO much worry when they were dis

Those three children certainly

So Winscmc went looking for his
three white children. He asked all
the neighbors if they had seen any
thing of the three white children
and all the neighbors said they
hadn't and all joined in the search.
No one remembered having seen
any enemies around. Black Pussy

EVERYDAY RELIGION
BY THE RIGHT -REY. JAMES E. FREEM4V. D. D., L. D.,
Bishop of " HdShington s" 81

Of things practical. The test of eff
cheney is the acid test by which we
evaluate men and things. A distin-
guished Englishman said at the time
of the World War that this tendency
to think in terms of the practical has
resulted in the loss of great artists.
poets and musicians. A chosen few
out of the great army of men, many
of them lost in battle, who brought a
touch of color to an otherwise somber
and shadoWy picture were those who,
like Rupert Brooke and Alan Seeger,
let their imagination play about
scenes and experiences altogether re-
pellent and sinister They had the
vision to see through and beyond
those stern days of struggle and con-
flict.
We sometimes wonder what our
modern educational system is CON
tributing to the enrichment of the
imagination of our youth and the
stimulation of those finer things of
sentiment that constitute life's rich
est adornment. Even in the sphere
of our religious life we are attempt
ing to be so utterly practical that we
are eliminating many of those finer
expressions of devotion that are indis-
pensable to the development and en-
richment of the soul. Our clergy are
called upon to preach practical SER
mons" sermons that deal with the
hard facts of life. They are admon-
ished that there Is no place today for
those refinements of expression that
in another day lent color and beauty
to- the things of corporate worship.
The art of preaching must be reduced
to the form of the essay or the lee
ture. The play of imagination can
have no consistent place, by this
standard, in the modern pulpit utter
ance. I'm this connection we are re-
minded that the great prophets and
seers of the past, who have had the
most comma nding influence, have
been those who dared to see beyond
the things of time and sense. They
were men of vision. l once asked
Lyman Abbott what in his judgment
constituted the genius of Phillips
Brooks and he responded, II always
felt when hearing him that his head
was above the clouds; he was seeing
visions which he was attempting to
translate to his listeners. He made
me feel a yearning to see the thing
he saw" Tt was this rare gift that
made him the master prophet of his
age, After all. when we come to
understand more fully the real values
of life, when we give religion its
proper place in the scheme of things,
we are compelled to acknowledge that
there is something other than the
practical that Is quite indispensable
to a well rounded symmetrical life.
The vision Of the Man upon the Cross
we are beginning to understand, More
and more His life is coming to touch
with vitalizing power the world in
which we live,

Repudiated Confessions.

In numerous instances lately, and
notably in a case now on trial in
Queens County. N. Y, confessions
made by persons accused of crime
have been repudiated by the defend
ants in court. One of these cases oc-
CURED here recently, a man accused
of assault on a woman setting up the
claim that his acknowledgment of
the crime was secured from him by
third degree" methods. He was, how
ever, convicted by the jury. In the
Queens County case the woman defend
ant in a murder trail disavows the
story of her guilt obtained from her
by the police on the ground that it
was procured in a protracted ques.
tioning which dazed her and deprived
her of the full use of her faculties.
1t is the duty of the police to learn
the facts in criminal case immediate
". They must secure all possible
clues to the perpetrators and to the
circumstances. They have often been
accused of using coercive methods,
sometimes even to the point of physi-
cal torment In some States laws
have been enacted prohibiting in
tensive questioning and inquisition
with the use of force. But even in
those States prisoners are held in
communicate for hours, sometimes
without sufficient rest and food, in
order to bring them to the point of
confession.
1t is altogether probable that very
few of these confessions that are OBJ
tanned by the police and later re-
pudiated are In fact untrue. More
likely is it that the truth has been re-
vealed. When a person is arrested for
a crime. particularly a capital crime,
the first instinct is to- deny, and to
continue to deny despite questioning.
Ingenious stories are told to account
for apparently discriminating circum.
stances. Alibis are claimed. IL in
these conditions through repeated
questioning the prisoner finally breaks
down and confesses the chances are
overwhelming that it is simply a case
of the truth coming out. Neverthe-
less, in view of the fact that many of
these confessions are afterwaYd re-
pudiated and the trials of these cases
are unduly protracted, would 1t not be
well to safeguard against later dispute
by insuring that these questionings
take place in the presence of unofficial
witnesses who can testify as to the cir
in which the inquisition
was conducted and the disclosures
We're made? No matter how explicit a
statement of confession may. be, its
later reputation evokes a doubt in the
minds of jurymen and it is that doubt
upon which counsel for the defense
base their hope. 1t is that doubt which
they seek to arouse by the claim of
'third-degree" methods.
II the accused Is to be tried by the
police in secret without the support of
counsel and with the permission Of the
law, any disclosure of fact so made
could be regarded as final and def
initive. But there is no Justification
for trial by the police, to that extent.
1t would be to the interest OF public
safety. certainly to the end Of speedier
justice, IL all preliminary inquiries
were conducted with safeguards
against later reputation and dis.

lesser degree, a diversity Of interests
still is present. 1t remains for the
home and the school to exercise at
this time very discreetly a guiding
hand. The boy and the girl during
this critical period should have oppor-
tunity to give expression to natural
interests which will forecast in some
measure what are to be the abiding
adult interests. The esthetic tastes in
girls and mechanical inclinationS IN
boys, for instance, will now assert
themselves.
The junior high school. with it's di-
versified curriculum. is an example OF
the program of activities provided in
the schools to meet the needs Of boys
and girls in this period of their deVel-
opment. Courses are arranged so that
pupils and parents may elect subjects
best adapted to the needs of the pupil
as he advances through the three
years. Likewise in the senior high
schools the elective feature gives the
pupil an ever.broadening field for spe'
cialiZation.
Vocational guidance becomes more
and more serious a responsibility for
both the home and the school as the
pupil advances through junior and Sc
niOr high school. Experienced teach
ers are designated as advisers of pu-
pills and parents in the matter OF prep
aration for a career. In the majority
of the large high schools vocational
guidance is recognized as an essential
activity of the school, so that guidance
departments have been established as
integral parts of the high school sys-
tenn. 1t is important that the home
and the school cooperate to the end
that the pupil may be intelligently adj
vised. Wise counseliug is absolutely
essential at this time. preliminary to
the choice of life work. Selection of
O. university and the mapping out OF
courses TO be taken therein may be
involved. In fact, the whole future
of the boy or girl depends on the wis
dom displayed by parents and teachers
in the guidance of youth at this time.
