In tha Sunday Uregontan column of
comment appears regurdlng my humble
little offering to humanity ot a book of
essays known as "The Heart of the New
Thought."
Among many words of upprovnl appear
a few disparaging and perhaps sarcastic
phrases; and since these phrases do not
attack style or expression, ua they might
Justly do, but a philosophy which la
based on knowledge and experience, a re
xponse seems called for. f
The editor sees tit to apeak of ui" ua
the "erstwhile poet of passion,' now
apostle of new thought.' " and says "the
extravaganza Of her first poems la
euuuled by the optimistic philosophy
of her present creed. This Is saying a
good deal, but one has only to glance
through her latest volume to reallzu
the truth of the statement. Her creed la
a cheerful one. and, parts of It are par
ticularly well tilted to minister to the
self-complaoenry of people whose Hues
have fallen In pleasant places''
If the editor hail )nade himself famil
iar with all my fo.tle.al work published
since Poems . ef vl'aasloii" he might
ruullze that 1 had Dot forfeited the
right to the title he refers to as 'erst
while,' but had substituted 111 place of
the passion for' Imaginary personal
ideals, the posltlvu passion for helping
humanity, -In its dally struggle with the
prMilcms of life. I

the empty grate without a tiro in It.
To fulfill Ha mission the grate must
burn with a flame- It may be u crackling
wood bias, noisy and beautiful, but
soon exhausted; a gas log, warm and
bright, but easily extinguished, or a
steadily glowing coal fire, but the fuel
must be there and alight If the grate
creates beautiful verdure and palpitat
ing life out of gas and chemicals. .,
It la the passion of the artist soul
which creates enduring pictures, muslo
and literature.
The philosophy of the "New Thought"
does not ' "minister to tha complacency
of the people whose lives have fallen
In pleasant places."
It creates pleasant places ut teacheg
all soul bow to lad. tham.
We build our future thought by thought,
For good or bad, and know It not.
Yet so the universe was wrought
Thought la another name for Fate.
For love brings love, and hate brings
hate. a
Choose, thou, thy deatlny and wait.
Mind Ik the master of the sphere.
Bo calm, be steadfast and sincere.
Fear is thu only thing to fear.
The critic scores the "New Thought"
advice to give away all clothing and
obtain new, and aaks "how she would

ST. LOt'IS. Mo.. April 13 A school
has Just been opened at Leclalre. 111.,
where every student will be paid for
studying, and may remain in school all
hla life If he so desires.
This Institution, which Is located but
eighteen miles from St. Louis. Is the
boldest and most original experiment In
education yet attempted in the world.
It Is the latest and most remarkable
outgrowth of - the co-operative Idea as
developed by N. O. Nelson, the manu
facturer, who has been called "the father
of co-operation."
The Leclalre Industrial School Is the
tentative name of the new Institution.
It la a co-operative industrial educa
tional Institution. Those four big words
signify much. Here are enumerated
some of the things which a student In
this school, starting without a dollar,
with no capital except a receptive brain.
willing hands and good Intentions, can
accomplish, according to the plan out
lined by the founders.
What Is Offered.
He (or (h, for the school Is co-ed
ucational) can earn his living during the
entire college course.
Hn can learn a trade and be master
of It at the eod of his school life.
He can study a profession and acquire
a degree therein along with his trade.
He can quit school with a collegiate
degree, no debts and a snug bank ac
count for a starter.
Or, If he so elects, he may remain In
school all his life, working at his trade
a part of each day and studying and
reciting his lessons the rest of the day.
dra.wlng pay upon a graduated scale for
both, according to his ability as a work
man and his proficiency as a student.
Did you evr hear of any educational
scheme like that? Verily, no. And yet
the founders of the Leclalre Industrial
School aver that all these things are
possible, plausible and more. They are
receiving many applications for matriculation.
While the present designation of the
new enterprise Is merely that of an
industrial school, the plan of the pro
moters la to make It a full-fledged uni
versity, where plumbers, preachers, law
yers and laborers (skilled), doctors and
decorators, carpenters and critics, can
be turned out. each with a diploma and
a working card.
i ney say that no boy or girl is too
poor to matriculate In and vmiluate
from this school. The basic purpose of
the Institution. Is to afford opportunity
for education, physical and mental, to
those who are unable to attend Wash
ington University. Harvard or other old
line colleges. At these great schools the
statisticians sometimes strike an aver
age of annual expenses for students,
finding .ht so many hundred dollars
say from $300 to $700. according to the
institution denote the average. At Le
clalre the statistician will have to do
with quite the opposite side of the
problem; he will figure out thn average
net profits of the students over and
above the expenses for tuition, board and
lodging, clothes and Incidentals.
School Is fo Whites.
At Tuskegee, Alabama. Booker T.
Washington has founded and brought to
a high state of successful operation' an
Industrial school fnshlnned somewhat
upon the lines laid out at Leclalre. That
Is for colored youths of both sexes'. Le
clalre Is for whites, and with Its estab
lishment the moneyless but ambitious
young white Is offered his first oppor
tunity to educate his hand and hlB head
at the seme time and earn his living
ind a little more. Leclalre proposes to
turn out Its graduates not only with
the three R's and other intellectual ac
complishments, but with the three B's
Brains. Rrawn and Boodle (not the 8t.
Louis Municipal Assembly kind, but
hard-earned cash).
At one side of the city of Edwards-

founded twelve years ago by N. O. Nel-,
son and named after the French advo
cate of co-operative Industry.
Leclalre is the only co-operative com
munity that has ltved and flourished
beyond its infancy. . It Is no Brook Farm

but not too hard.
The Leclalre Industrial School project
had its inception a year ago at the Non
Sectarian Church. Llndell boulevard and
Vandeventer avenue. St. Louis, the pas
tor of which Is the Rev. A. R. Nelson.
PaRtor Ndson. In discussing the new
school recently, said:
"We have come to believe that the
mission of the church of today 1! not
what the mission of the church of yes
terday was supposed to be. Church
work should not consist of a lot of
preaching that Is more or less abom
inable. The church should do something
for humanity That Is what It Is In

however. Is but the nucleus of other
such institutions which the Industrial
Educational Association expects to es

is not local; It may be called national In
Its scope, Mr. N. O. Nelson, having his
