ALL GROWTH IS FROM WITHIN
the powers of ignorance and darkness, and while youth is the
best season for preparation for a life that will reach its most
perfect development and truest success, all Reasons are the right
time to begin improvement. .
Our nation is doing all that it conceives best for the education
of its youth. We cheerfully submit to the taxation that is
imposed for this purpose, and we point with pride to our com
plete educational system. Much of the good effect which the
school is designed to exert upon the future life of the young
students is neutralized, however, by outside influences that the
school seems powerless to avert. Thrc are too many attrac
tions that develop desires and tendencies in the children, that
render the effort of the school to form high ideals in the pupils
ineffective. The better qualities of industry, persevrence,
integrity, ambition to suceed, and the desire for real improve
ment of mind, body, and spirit become deadened by the unwhole
some influences to which parents seem indifferent.: The good,
old-fashioned virtues of loyalty, self-denial, enthusiasm, truth
and purity will die out entirely unless better nourished in the
youth )f the land than they are at the present time.
How many boys can be found, for example, in the ordinary
town whose spirit is so fired with the enthusiasm arounsed by
reading of the struggles and successes. and devotion in the life
of Abraham Lincoln, that the desire is born within them to
emulate his life? A perverted hero of the movies often excites
in them far greater enthusiasm and admiration than this great
hero of this country. The tendency, therefore, U for them to
emulate the movie hero. In this and other ways the youth
of our land are threatened with a moral disease that will destroy
all that is pure and beautiful and uplifting in tbeir.nature unless
it is stamped out. All that is necessary to accomplish this is
that our people be made to understand the danger, and they will
be moved to swift and effective action. - ', ' , ,, ;

One can make no headway in the development of character
while he imitates Others and submerges his own individuality;
in his passion to be like someone else. 31 ere aping of tbe man
ners or dress or expressions or any other superficial character
istic of another ean never ehange the personality of the imitator ;
they but cover his person with an ill-fitting garment that is
usually unbecoming and unsuitable. He is trying to be the
counterfeit of one in whom flows different blood, whose
'experience has emphasized characteristics that find expression
in his manner or conversation, whose ancestry has wrought in
his nature traits that are entirely opposite to those of the
would-be counterfeit.' Imitation of this kind deceives no one,
it ia too patent. . .
I Our line of life does not coincide with that of any' other
person; we have our own problems to work out, our particular
opportunities for growth, our own individuality to develop.
To work after another's rules does not, generally speaking, meet
our necessity; and intends to deaden our activity.
J It is easy td be commonplace, to walk like others, to eat
like them, to follow the fashion of the day; to wear garments,
narrow or voluminous, as the mode may be; many people are
even satisfied to think in the same ruts as others and to let
their own brains lie idle; they are loath to develop under the
law that God has planted in their natures.' They wish to be
exactly like the world, and dread to be called peculiar and
fear to excite any, attention. Imitation is only a sham and one
grows only-aa he is real. - X'-- -
;, To express one's own individuality and be himself may
demand a measure of courage, but this is the only , way that
man can become what he-was intended to be. The inner force
that urges man to exert himself to live up to his high ideals
remains latent and . inert unless encouraged and stimulated by
some independent activity on the part of the individual. While
exalted emotions and holy ideals must precede noble deeds, one
must not rest content with ideals alone,4 without making them
a reality in his life. To substitute for the doing of the truth,
' that Christ enjoins, a mental attitude or an emotion is a fatal
mistake; it paralyzes the soul. Combining in one the nature
of the. dreamer and the worker makes the symmetrical man,
the man who is able to bear upon his shoulders the burden of
life. ; . .
. , y - e
, The history of the world is the narration of the effort, per
haps not conscious, of mankind to find the true way of life.
Tbe world's progress is due to inspired men who have lifted the
great ideals of their soul into realization. Most men have sought
to climb the "delectable mountains," they have sunk in the
"slough of despond,", they have borne "Christian V burden
all these experiences to teach them that the responsibility of
their advancement is their own and no other's; that the hunger
for righteousness must be the overwhelming desire of their
being i that the light pf God must shine within their own soul
and not npon it alone: that to resist as well as to aspire is vital
to the acquiring of true knowledge and growth.
God places upon each one the responsibility of overcoming
his ignorance by making use of the light of the Spirit that shines
in his darkness. Man thus lights his own inner torch that his
way and the path of others may be illumined by his own God
given light. This heavenly rflame clears the vision, it helps to
correct the faulty perspective so that man senses the true pro
portion of nis surroundings, v From the beginning of man's
spiritual awakening "this light shone in darkness through the
darkness comprehended it not," and the gleam has led the world
in all the progress that it has made.
In ihc nature of man lie the possibilities of unfoldment in all
directions, as the tiny petals lie enfolded in the rosebud waiting
for the right conditions of growth to bring them forth in beauty
and perfection. In human progress the preparation for this
unfoldment is the important factor in reaching the most perfect
results. , Only through the right preparation will those latent
energies that God breathes into every soul with Ilia breath of
life be aroused into activity. 5
Development is a continuous process, ever working on against

MUSIC
Yesterday was Holstein day in
Salem. Breeders of pore bred
Holstein cattle were here from
various points of Marion county.
and they organized an associa
tion for the better promotion of
that breed, and they hope to ex
tend their membership to take In
the Polk county Holstein men.
There are many good reasons
why this should become a very
strong organization, doing a vast
amount of good, not only to the
members themselves, but to all
who are interested in live stock.
And- everybody . is , Interested. t di
rectly and indirectly, for no coun
try can have a well balanced pros
perity without live stock, and
no people can be virile and up-
standlng'and strong in mind and
body without milk.

JOSEPH HOFFMANN', the dis
tinguished Polish pianist, will
appear In concert at tbe Ilei-
lig theater in Portland Wednes
day, February 16. Among pian
ists he has established the largest
box office receipts In the history
of New York. Joseph Hoffmann
was the first pianist of Interna
tional fame to give a program of
all-American music. Count Tol
stoy made tbe statement while in
Salem that Hoffmann was . the
greatest living pianist, with the
exception of Paderewskl. . An
nouncement has been -made that
no one will be seated on the
stage at future recitals of Hoff
mann. Seating tbe audience on
the stage is a relic of artictic bar
barism.
It is stated that Maeame Nellie
Melba, tbe illustrious prima don
na of grand opera and concert
celebrity, has been engaged to
sing in vaudeville by the Keith in
terests at tbe Palaee theater.
New York city, commencing next
fall, at a salary of $5000 per
week, or $1000 more than Emma
Calve is paid for similar services.
Melba will sing for tbe Keith
houses. 14 times per week. The
Keiths are working hard to in
duce John McCormack to sing for
them at about $5000 a week, but
It is understood that the noted
1 1 lab tenor thinks that about four
times that sum ought to be tbe
figure. .

Come join in the song of the Mistland,
Home of the MiatUnd prune,
And list to the Jnbilant voices
Singing the Mistland tune.

Covered with carpets of green

And list to the murmuring breezes
Humming the Mistland tune.
They joyously sing of the Mistland.
Sing of her medals won.
With prunes she has highly developed
Under a Mistland sun.
The evergreen mountainous ridrea
Shield from the eastern blast.
The tempering witda from the ocean.
Keeping the mists o'ercast. i
The commercial traders are watching.
Viewing the mists unfold.
Old Oregon's wonderful fruitlands
Bringing her riches untold. , .
Sing not of a mythical Mistland.
Founded on mythic lore,
Dut sing of a magical frultland
Lining an ocean shore.
Yes, sing of a wonderful Mistland.
Kat of her luscious prunes.
And drink of the Juice of her berries.
Joined in the Mistland tune.
CHORUS:
