HELPING THE YOUNG TO FIND
"J THEMSELVES
BY DOROTHY DIX
The World's Highest Paid Woman
4 ? - ; Writer
JACK Is as fine. Intelligent and up
standing a young fellow as you
could wish to see. He finished
school In June, and when I met him
th other dsy I said to bim:
-Well, and what are you going to
make of yourself rich man, poor man,
beggar man, thief laywer, doctor,
merchant, priest?- .
. - The lad's fresh young face took on
a worn, harassed look as he replied
la a troubled voice:
"I don't know, I don't even know
what I want to be. I have thought
and thought over it until 1 am half
mad and I cant decide whether I
want to go Into a profession or busi
ness. I am not laxy. I am keen to
ba hard at work, but I want to start
right and - get into the thing I am
fitted for, and I seem: to be one of
the poor dubs who' have no talent, so
I don't know which way to turn."
" And then his mother lifted up her
voice In lamentation: : 1
i " Jack's father and I are' worried
to death oyer him," she said. "We
don't know what to do with him. He
must get: work at something, but
what? : We don't know how to advise
fcim. And it Is so Important that he
cbould make the right choice." '
I felt like saying to her, "I cer
tainly Is Important. "It Is the most
important thing that will ever hap

ment of his life: the time when, he

Sammy makes no brilliant record
at school, but he has attracted every
boy for blocks around, so that he
possesses tbe whole visible supply of
marbles and Jack knives in his com

takes the slightest notice of this sig

Detearte Exercises
'Aboot TWX5TT ' teaks Aoo perhaps
not quite so long, there was a tre
mendous excitement about Delsarte
exercises.' According to beauty doc
tors 'of tbe time Delsarte exercises
would make every woman who prac
tised them into an absolutely classic
beauty. I remember sitting through
long entertainments when I '.was :
quite a small girl, listening to some ,
one. recite pages and pages of poetry, '
all of it over my head. While some "
girl In the background draped her
, self Into various positions expressive .
of the sentiment of the Terses. .' :
The Delsarte craxe died a sudden
death, very few people are ' taught
the slow, rhythmic movements with"
which they used to express the fan
ciful emotions. : Gymnastics to-day
are full of snap and action. Yet the
Delsarte exercises were really excel
: lent as a means of developing grace
and poise. It Is.' doubtful if they
increased the lung capacity, but they
did train the muscles to steady, slow
.motions. . f.; . ,. ; ' N-;:!.(?v!-:

who finds it possible, should take up :
some form of dancing as an exercise,

why parents should be forever watch-
in- out for them. It doesn't make any
difference about the boys and girls
with gTeat gifts. They will come to
their own. through every obstacle and
difficulty.
Few children are dowered with the
great arc light of genius, but prac
tically every child has a little penny
candle of talent that can be fanned
into a flame bright enough to light
it comfortably through life if there
is a hand intelligent enough to do it.
This makes it parents' highest duty
to help their children find themselves
and realize on whatever capital with
which nature has endowed them. Tbe
child cannot do this for himself. He
is too young and inexperienced to
take his own measure or realize the
value of his wares, or know how to
market them, but parents should know
and be ready to hold out a helping
band and say, in the slang of the day,
"This is where you get off," when
their boys and girls start forth on
their life journey.
That parents so often admit that
they are incapable of advising their
children about careers to follow Is a
black indictment of their parenthood.
For if the proper study of mankind
is man, the most important study
of parents is their children.

HAWAIIAN ISLES

Raine Bennett is Creator of
Libretto and Puccini May
Compose Music
Since Richard Walton Tully showed
in hit "Bird of Paradise" the possi
bilities of HawaU for dramaUc and
musical-dramatic creations, Inspired
by the "fleet of islands" in the Pa
cific ocean, a great deal of attention
has been paid,, to -the land of the
TiniB.MuiA .hv' vritera--mainly creat
ors of ore or less popular songs, says
Now comes Rame JBennett, editor of ,
the Bohemia , Magaaine, wltba full
rtcAwaA nnnrtL libretto based on the
more - poetical and , esthetic,- - It not
philosophical, suggestion ,inim
home x)f Pele, and there is more than
a passing possibility, that his poetical
libretto will be set to music by Puc
cini, who, . as everybody knows who
remembers the Italian's score of "Tbe
Girl of the Golden West," Is ever
seeking, like a musical Alexander,
new. worlds to ,conquer with bis coun
terpoint. - , .
Much correspondence hss already
been passed between the creator of
the' libretto, tbe composer and mu
tual friends, and Bennett .expects in
the near future to take a trip to the
islands in. the interest of his fraud
opera, r r
Among the ? many who .have, be
stirred themselves in behalf of ' the
young Callfornian author is Char
mion London, widow of the late and
much-lamented novelist,' Jack London,
who writes to A. P. Taylor, president
of the Hawaii Promotion committee,
Honolulu: 1 -
"I have followed Mr. Bennetts ca
reer for some' time aa playwright,
poet and editor, and believe he Is the
right one to give this operatic story
to tbe world."
Tbe plot Is mythological, like a
Wagnerian libretto.
The gods are human and personify
their qualities. Kane, the father of
all Hawaiian gods, is the Wotan of
the story. Nama, his wife, and he
stir the fires of a primitive confla
gration, and out of the heated pit
springs forth Pele, , tbe goddess and
tbe monitor of Kilanea. This, as a
prologue, opens tbe wsy to the dawn
of history, wherein mortals and gods
become confused in their ambitions,
apd a story of dramatic force and ro
mantic interest results, ending with
the triumph of Kamehameha, who
like Tannhauser, finds his way from
the Venusburg of Pele Into the facts
and realities of life.
CHINESE TEACHERS' CLASS

fThe Cotter's Saturday Night'' was
read and interpreted Friday after
