FAMOUS WOMEN OF HISTORY
Louisa May Alcott, 1832-1888
(Copyright, 1913, by Willis J. Abbot)
' In this day and age when women,
. having won their place in the industrial
and economlo life of the nation, are at
' s tacking the political stronghold of mas-
culJna privilege, it Is fitting to note that
Louisa Alcott, the inspired writer of
.-' "Little Women," was a- very practical
suffragist herself. Surely she had
' every reason to be. Not only was she
the architect of her own fortunes, but
V she supported in comfort a family of
; which her father, kindly, gentle and In
tellectual to the point of super-refine-
ment as he was, could not maintain.
"As she could not shoulder a musket in
- ' the war between the states; she nursed
- " In the -military hospital at Washington
and sacrificed her health to her duty.
It was but fitting, therefore, that to
ward the , end of her life we find her
' describing how she "drove about and
- drummed up women for my suffrage
meeting" in Concord, and . announcing
with lofty defiance: "I for one do not
want to be numbered among idiots, fel
ons and minors any longer, "for I am
none of them."
It is not, however, of the militant
' Louisa Alcott that history will have
most to say, but rather of the woman
whose first-essay 4a theay of an ex
tended work of fiction sold by the hun
. dreds of thousands and Is still selling.
Its initial success, too, was won in a
day when the reading public was vastly
. smaller than now, and the present art of
handling a new book like a circus had
not been invented.
The parents of Louisa Alcott, who
was born in Germantown, Pa., were peo
ple of no ordinary mould. Her mother
. . was of the best New England .lineage, a
Hewall by birth, connected with the
Hancocks and the Qulncys. Her father,
Bronson Alcott, was a man In whom
pure Intellect had swallowed up all
other qualities. He was a student, an
' inspired teacher, a philosopher of moods
so abstruse that few could grasp his
k meanings.
fsk , Poverty of a sort was long' with the
Aicous, out is oia jiui crusn mem as
- a like degree of penury would a similar
family today. At that time It was not
quite "the thing" to be rich. The idea
of a Tom Law son or a Carnegie setting
up as a writer or a patron of literature
" would have been inconceivable In the
circles in whloh moved Whittler, Emer
son, Hawthorne, Channing and Alcott.
But If none of their associates were
rich the Alcotts were downright poor,
and the philosopher could do nothing
: to relieve their poverty. A school he
founded in Boston, in which he had for
assistants Miss Peabody,1 afterward
Hawthorne's wife, and Margaret Fuller,
lost two-thirds of its pupils when he
published a' mbst unorthodox work,
"Conversations of the Gospels," and the
rest disappeared when he took a little
negro girl into his classes. He was left
Ith four white pupils, of whom three
i -were his own daughters;
At sixteen Louisa began to contribute
to the family income by. teaching school.
'' Her own education had been wholly un.
systematic, entirely haphazard and
. therefore good for the career fate had
' store for her. An outdoor Ufa had
frven her a rugged constitution she
used to say she would not have a play-
' . mate who could not climb a tree. Cease
less association with books and with
cultivated people gave her command of
language, and her mother's insistence
that all of her children should keep
, journals taught her the art of expres-
' sion. The very first story she wrote, at

Men Who See.
By Graham Hood.
It has been said that Marconi got his
first idea for wireless telegraphy by
watching s, company of boys throwing
stones into a pond. "
How many people do ..you suppose
have spent a lot of time in the same
wayt They have stood on the shore of
a pond, have Seen the stone drop in the
water and have watched the constantly
widening circles upon Its surface fol
lowing the splash
Probably, and in the vast majority of
cases this exhibition has been produc
tive of no thought at all. It was left
to Marconi to see the lesson that It
taught and to apply this fact in nature
to a practical commercial purpose. ' .
.The difference between Marconi and
all the other people who have seen
stones thrown into ponds is that he saw
wnat was actually happening, whereas
tney only thought' they saw. Upon this
distinction, however, success hinges. .
This story about Marconi should be of
value to us, not because it is an in
teresting incident in the life of & suc
cessful man, but for the reason that
it should senve as warning against
the , too common ' practice of going
through life heedlessly. We see but
we do not observe. We note the ef
feet, but we give comparatively little
thought to the cause that has produced
it. - .
No matter. how we may look at life
we are compelled to admit that suecess
depends to a great degree upon the fa'
clllty we display in taking advantage
of opportunities. ;
To find an opportunity It Is neces
sary that we should keep sufficiently
awake to recognize it were we to .meet
one face to face.
Don't smile at the ideal There are
plenty of men who have gone through
the greater part of their life without
once suspecting that the opportunity to
succeed ln - accomplishing something
worth while lay invitingly within their
reach. Were you to - tell these ' men
that they are blind, or that they
wouldnt know an .opportunity were
they to see it, they would become highly
Indignant; yet their experience proves
that this is so.
'-. The idea that opportunity conies but
once to each of us, and that should the
fickle dame receive no response to her
tap upon our door, she promptly turns
away and returns to us Vho- more, is
about the worst piece of nonsense that
has ever yet been expressed, either in
prose or in verse.
The truth la that there are opportuni
ties everywhere. Men, are constantly
running across them and taking ad
vantage of them, but it Is probably safe
to say that for every opportunity that
is seen and put to a good purpose there
are scores that are permitted to go to
waste. To some degree the Ability to
see an opportunity may be a matter
of accident, but the fact remains that
If we are not in a properly observant
mood the accident may occur and we
may not be able to profit by it.
Thousands of men passed over the
plains in Texas and saw the bones of
the cattle bleaching there. ' It was a
friend of mine who. seeing the bones,
conceived the idea of making money out
of them. By the use of well distributed
circulars he prevailed upon the farmers
to bring the bones Into town, where he
purchased them, and later disposed of
them to his great financial advantage.
All about us there are opportunities
waiting for somebody to discover them.
If we do not train ourselves to observe
we shall pass by on the other side, leav
ing ths opportunity to profit to some
more observant Individual. :

Peace club, an unique . organization of
stage children. It was founded at the
New theatre, New York, when Maeter

"It all came out of a quarrel at one
of the first rehearsals," explains Presi
dent Kelly. "I thought and thought
about it and then I talked to Lulu Dunn.
" 'Lulu I said, 'let s get up a society
and have rules and everyhlng and get
all the children to Join then we can
rule ourselves and. make everybody be

" 'Oh. let's,' she said, With presidents

Mr. Bailey is a very, pleasing speaker.
and is intensely Interested In the cause
"1 am more delighted than I Can tell
you to be "in your city," he said. 'There
is something about the west that ap
peals io all lovers of the beautiful, nn.t
your city of Portland Is pre-eminently
a city of rare beauty.1 Then, too, I am
greatly pleased to meet your .teachers.
I am always interested In everything
that has to do with the instruction o
the young. - Our public school system la
acknowledged to be a great Institution,
yet there la room for Improvement and
it is along the line of art in this con
nection that I wish to speak tonight for
a-few moments...; .'.vv: 'r-'-',
"This western country Is developing
at a rapid rate, but not as rapidly as
the western cities., Their growth Is eo
great, so rapid that it makes us rub our
eyes and look again. Note the wonder
ful new public buildings that have gone
up in Portland within the past year or
two, the public business blocks of man
stories, finely finished and furnished;
the great hotels, than whlcH there Is
nothing finer In the country; your splen
did school buildings. - They are monu
ments to Portland enterprise, Portland
capital, Portland industry, and Portland
progresslveness. ' . ,
"Each building represents the work of
artists in various lines in architecture,
its decoration and Its furnishing.1 Un
der present conditions, the artists are In
nearly every rase imported from some-

right here in Portland boys and glrla
who, If they are given the opportunity
and the training, can create all ' these
things with their own hands and brains.
It is the business of the publlo school to
sow the seed that will spring up and
ripen into talent and inclination along
these lines, -.-w i -...:,..,.
"The cooperation of art museums
with public art instruction is one of the
most Important things in the education
al world today, Tou have here in Port
land in the homes of your wealthy peo

and has met with great success, not
only in Interesting the young people In
the best things, but In instructing them
as well. I recall an Instance when the
study of color was being taken up that
the students were furnished with a
black and white print of a great paint
ing in which there was a wonderful
sunset effect "They were told to color
It according to their own ideas, and
whan ihav were alt com Dieted the stu
dents took their work to the museum
and compared it with the original. It
is safe to say that they learned more
by that comparison than could have
been taught simply by word of mouth
in many months."
