A WORD TO (Copyrighted by the Most young people do not like to be moralized or preached to or lectured. Full of the exuberance and ambi tions of youth they think there will be plenty of time for that when they get older. For the present they want to be let alone to follow their own wills and to learn by experience as their elders have done. This objection to being advised by their elders springi from the assurance born of ignorance and nexperience. Every young person should commit to memory this faying of a vise man of the past generation: "Experience is a poor school to learn in, but fools will learn in no;other." Although this may be putting it a little strong ly, at least the young as well ar. the middle aged and the old could be taved many sorrows and trials if they would consent to learn and profit by the experience of others. All the sciences and the arts as we have them today are the results of the study, investigations and experience of the men Sof the past. How much of a scientist would one be if ha refused to be guided by the knowledge and experience of others? Civilization, too, is but an accumulation of experi ences, each generation building upon the experiences and achievements of the past. No man and no nation that give no heed to what others know or have done ever get far in any line. And so with the young. The young man or woman who list self-willed and persistently determined not to listen to rdvice is headed flraight for certain failure and disaster. The safest counselors that any young man or young wo man can have are it wise, moral and loving father and a saintly, elf-cacrif icing mother. The young men and women witH such fathers and mothers can not go far wrong in order ing their lives if they constantly follow the path in which thf ?r parent have set their feet. Too many of such young peoph wher they r-rrive at the age of independnce and leave the parental roof soon begin to think that their fathers are bfch . 1 th t tim;3 and old fogy in their ideas of morality and life,! and their. mothers out of date and ignorant of the cor rect rtaiidards 61 the present day; that It is all right toield to certain temptations to sin, to satisfy one's appetite for Bomie of the things that are destructive of what is best in us and to gratify some of the passions that are debasing. Oth ers that are accounted respectable do this; why should not they? . . V-v . Young man, young woman, the most precious heritage that any person can ever have is a training when young in a harmonious, pure, religious home. No matter how much worldly goods your parents may leave you or how much you may accumulate for yourself, all is nothing compared with the principle., precepts and rules of life acquired in such a home. Do no; throw away this precious heritage for anything the world caii give. Ging to this home inheritance and guard and protect it as you would diamonds. Once lost it may be gone forever, arid you will surely find when too late that the fol lies ar l gratifications of the world for which you have sac rificed it bring nothing but sorrow and suffering. If they brine a kind of pleasure for the moment, at the last they cer tainly "bite like a serpent and sting like an adder." I This is no argument in support of the proposition that orje should always blindly follow one's parents in religion. Re ligion is a matter strictly and entirely between your own con science and your God. You may properly reject the creeds and beliefs of your parents for something that appeals to you as truer or higher. But if you spurn, spit upon and trample under foot their religious precepts of honesty, purity and righteousness, and turn to "the beggarly elements of the world," be sure that you will pay for this kind of heresy in untold anguish and suffering in this world, whatever punish ment awaits you in the world to come. If you have not had the & home such as that referred to above, you may find it harder to keep your feet in paths that lead only to the honest, the pure, the elevating things of life; but you can do it; you are not left by the God who made you with no guide for your life. He has put a germ of Himself into your own being giv HAVE YOU YOUR PER CAPITA CAPITAL A N average of the money in circula- tion in this country would give' ev ery man, woman and child $57.19.

You may not know or believe this, but this you do know the lowest man in the world knows it that when you are tempted to do wrong, to yield to sin, there is something in you that tells you not to do it ; that is striving to restrain the natural impulses and passions in you. Train yourself to listen to and follow this inward monitor. It will lead you to certain success, happiness and peace. It is true that you may refuse to hear and heed this inward prompting so often that for the time being it is silenced. But it is there, even if it can not always make its voice heard. If at no other time, in your better moments you will hear it. Ask for, pray for, this Monitor, and heed its promptings as you would the advice of the wisest and best friend you have. . In short the moral laws of God are written m your heart, and they are self-executing. Infraction of them brings punish ment certain and terrible.

' The Philadelphia clergymen who have designed a "moral frown for mod?! garments which is certified as an Intelligent at titude on the question of the mor al regulation of feminine attire. They have not limited their re form to laying down general rules but have actually fashioned a code! garment which is certified as conforming to all the specifi cations of modesty and propriety, even to the height of the waist and length of skirt. The ministerial modiste Is something new in dress reform, but why not? If there are morals in clothes are they hot a proper subject for ecclesiastical supervis ions? The results of leaving the matter to the lay judgment of tailors untrained in moral regu lation are only too apparent. But the ministers having ex hibited their model moral gown, it remains to get women to adopt It. It may be well, as one of the clerical designers intimated, to obtain an approving word from raris.' An a teller established in the Rue de la Palx for the man ufacture of moral costumes might help toward making them the mode.

Giving children the advantages of kindergarten training is a mat ter very much neglected by par ents. The Froebel-Pestalozzi sys tem, before they reach school age. is just what childhood craves and it helps make them contented. happy boys and girls. The foun dation Is laid In stories, games, songs, plays and occupations that are adapted to the child mind at the most important period of its growth. Its activities are direc ted along normal lines and en tirely different from much at tempted training and discipline in the home. The child's ' crea tive and imaginative faculties are utilized and developed. Th child FUTURE DATES Marrh 50.

The time spent on euge nics and baby clinics is wasted and lost If a rational cnfoldment of the child's mind is not under taken at the most critical age that is. where the kindergarten comes in. In large cities the public. kin dergartens are part of the school system, but in smaller cities and towns the private kindergarten must be taken advantage of. The private kindergarten is in many ways preferable, and it Is surpris ing that parents who really de sire that their children shall be come well-balanced and well rounded youth do not give this kind of schooling more encourage ment. The kindergarten is the kiddies' movie, and they should be kept away from the entertainments and activities of adults. A MAN'S JOR. General Leonard Wood declines to be governor general of the Philippines, but may accede to the wish of the president to visit the Islands ip an official capacity and make a thorough investigation of conditions with the idea of de termining a permanent program for their government. General Wood is an Illustrious administrator. A big university has offered him a $25,000, Job, but he is disposed to remain (n the public service, even at soma financial sacrifice. If be would accept a commis sion as paramount observer in the Philippines it would materially help to clear the situation in the islands. There is much of a tan gle there because of the belief of many of the Filipinos that they not only are ripe for independence but have It. and the difficulties of the situation have been heightened by one of the moat highly polished ivory pa ted. bone headed admin istrations any colonial, territorial. Insular or other country has ever suffered tince the dawn of his tory. General Wood was on the ground originally and framed op and started off what was regard ed by experts in that field as one. cf the best colonial governments any country ever had. But the original program has teen so fussed up and emascu lated and butchered and botched and fumbled and jazzed, that perhaps General Wood sees that the job would have to be done all over again. - under much greater difficulties than in the beginning, owing to the moron and Insane and Idiotic mokeying that has been done by the late lamented Democratic administration under the namq or at least under the antics of government.

EDITORIALS OF THE PEOPLE AppenLt For Near Kat Editor Statesman: The following appeal from Ma jor General Leonard Wood; Assis tant secretary of the Navy Theo dore Roosevelt; Secretary 01 the Treasury Mellon; Samuel Gompers and others, is released for publi cation March 20. While this appeal is for the Near Kast alone. I am sure It will be read by the state in the light of the joint appeal which we are miking for both the Chinese and the Near East sufferers. The spirit of Caster is one of sacrifice. The great sacrifice of Biblical history was made then. That sacrifice has been made since in many lands by many In dividuals. But never In history . has a whole nation made the sacrifices for the faith that the Armenians have made. It is not 'none of our business what hap pens to the Armenians.'

It is not a political duty, or a matter of commercial expediency. It is an opportunity an opportunity to make our idealism a dynamic influence in the world, not just fine phrases. The man who has least among us has more than most in Armenia.
