TIIK rceiitation of the recoiit Passion Piny in Ashland leads
us to inquire why worth-wUilc music and legitimato drama
have disappeared so completely from the entertainment field in
Medford. - ,. i
' Not many' years 'ago Medford' was regarded as the musical
arid dramatic center of .Southern Oregon. Leaders of the stage,
like Ethel IJiirrymore, Ina Claire, Guy Bates Post and Walker
Whiteside, always came to Jfcdford when playing on the coast.
5o did artists of world-wide reputation . like Paderewski, Schu-
man-IIeink, Godowski and Puvlova,
' '
BUT today no one comes. New York stage companies still
play in San Francisco antl Portland, thd'loiiding, vocalists
aiid violinist still visit tho leohrit; but if any of them stop in
Southern Oregon, it is Klamath or Ashland, not in Medford.
We realize this is a movie age, and the building of the Natron
cut-off placed Medford on a branch line. But the presentation
of the Passion Play in Ashland, shows that M.edford could get
SOMETHING in tho way of worth-whilo music and legitimate
drama, if there were a disposition to go after thein.
YESTERDAY wc inquired of a former official of the old Med
ford Drama league why such a situation should exist. The
unswer was: "Medford will not support any worth-while
music or drama."
This moy have been true a fow years ago, but after such a
long "breathing spell'' we believe any outstanding entertain
ment of recognized merit WOULD be supported.
At any rate, next season, wc would like to sco some effort
made and, ns far as this newspsper is concerned we would give
such a movement every assistance within our powor.
THE OLD,
ACONTEMi'OUAUT deulares "the career of Starr Faith
full perfectly epitomizes the tragedy of modern youth." ' .
Mcbbe so. Hut wo seriously quostion that word "modern."
It seems to us jnoro accurato to say the career of Miss Faith
full epitomizes tho tragedy of !ALL youth all youth that has
deliberately set out to trod the primrose path since tho World
'began. . , 1
THERE is a mistaken impression that what is called "the pre
vailing moral laxity among tho young" is something start
lingly new. Anyone who will read human' history from tho
Uible on down, will discover that theso "immoral oycles"liave
occurred as frequently as wars have occurred, and usually
have followed them. ' ' ; , , . ,
"Tho wages of sin is death," may be grammatically incor
rect, but it is not incorrect morally. It is as true today as it
was thousands of years ago. 1
ip.And it .referred, primarily to tho spiritual death then, as it
does, now, but as Miss Faithfull discovered "when the spirit
dies, tlia hotly falluws soon after." ' ( t j
'''
THE tragedy of Miss Faithfull, as wo sco it, was not the trag
ody of America's Flaming Youth ; it was the tragedy of all
youth that has ever regarded the moral responsibility of the in
dividual as a "lot of hooey,"
" Read them over they form ft pathetic procession from the
Garden of Eden down. ' . .
And the fatal error of each was also tho fatal error of this
luckless "Starr." She refused to aucopt tho lessons of human
experience, she acted on tho principle that individual experi
ence is not only the best toacher, but the ONLY teacher. She
was going to SEE LIFE HERSELF, and in that effort LOST it.
Liko Kipling's boy sho "learned tho worst too young."
In searching for happiness outside herself, she found that
tho "only real happiness lies within. Hut the discovery, as
usual, came too late, and so sho becamo only ANOTHER pu-
thetic example of the truth of tho doctrine sho had dotted.

CHILD TO LIVE
fers to let his child die rather than
take any chance tho child might
survive and perhaps be feeble
minded. What to dp In such a quandry?
Has the father the right to forbid
giving the anti-venom?,
Substitute diphtheria for snake
bite and antitoxin for nntl-venom,
and tell me, would the father have,
a right to forbid giving the child
tho second dose of antitoxin on the
ground that he knows of some one
who Is feeble-minded and who
once received ono or more doses
of antitoxin?
I had to watch a child die like
that once. Oh, yes, I managed to
have another doctor summoned,
but unfortunately he was an Insti
tution mnn and had never had any
experlenec In treating diphtheria,
so his evident uncertainty and Ig
norance only confirmed the father
in his terrible attitude.
These amazingly unmoral people
who sanction what they hypocriti
cally call "birth control" when
they mean prevention of concep
tion, have a queer slant on what
wo call ethics. They remain
silent about tho fundamental in
justices or wrongs which are the
chief cause of poverty and disease,
and then they brazenly assume the
right to decide whether a child
shall live.

I'll wager there ate as many

and this conviction enables a
toacher to add the necessary grain
of salt and enjoy your column. In
other words I like your style but
believe you nrs off the track just
as much as the rest of us. Send
me five copies of your rules for
healthful living and I will see that
every boy and girl In the physical
education class In my school is ex
posed to them at least . . . (T. E.

Answei I must decline to af
firm or deny, on the ground that
it would tend to get me In bad all
around. The best rules for health

Many, well meaning, said tbo

California's Bull Creak Flat should

Jr., suggested that the best way
to save the trees would be to buy

match the money ot others, up to

gave another million dollars, given
outright. "Money talks." The trees

SATISFYING Gl-HIOSITY
By Alice ,?ulson Pealc.
A food, active curiosity Is
sign of a good, active Intelligence.
The wise parent doeB all he can
to preserve the first eagerness of
his child's curiosity and to turn It
always into satisfying1 and produc
tive channels.
: The very little child shows his
curiosity by handling, by touching
with his tongue, by looking, by
listening. It is important that he
meet with as few checks as pos
sible in his first attempts to In
vestigate his world, w
To accomplish this It Is neces
sary 'to remove from his reach
valuable or dangerous objects,
and to exercise great patience and
show a sympathetic appreciation
while he explores his environment.
As soon as he gets to the stage
of asking questions, he should be
helped to answer them for' him
self whenever possible.
If his questions can be answered
with a concrete experience which
he can then Interpret for himself,
this always Is prcferublo tc a
verbal explanation. - -
Whenever it Is necessary to ex
plain things to him In words, only
the simplest kind of answer should
be given.
It is better to leave a margin
of unsatisfied curiosity which he
can always pursue than to bore
him and dull the edge of his in
terest by a long, comprehensive
lecture. -
Above all things, we must be
sure that our response to his
questions on any subject whatso
ever does not mnko him feel that
he has ventured on forbidden
ground. ' '
The moment we' put up a ''No
Trespassing' sign we cause an
unhealthy concentration of inter
est at that point.
If we. answer -Jiim Adequately
his curiosity Is satisfied and ills
emotional and intellectual energy
turns to something else.

OSTRICH iWAYS -
By Mary Graham. Bonner
"We like it hero, ip the ..deseft,"
Mrs. Ostrich told John.apiJ Feggy.
"We never care about, forests. tW
can close our eyeai
when there are
-sand storms and !
our eyes hari
strong, thick eye, I
lids.
"You notice that I
my feathers are I
gray, while Mr. Os-i
(rich wearo a black I
suit. He is very!
proud ot bis white I
tail featbers and I
wings.
"But I like
quieter -sort: of dress.' I dress the
children in1 the same way when
tliey ara yonqg. t
"Our feathers can be plucked so
thatiit doesn't hurt ua;'so If jrou're
ever going to wear' feathers, use
ours and not the feathers of birds
that must be killed in order to
decorate hats. .. ,
"There are ' some 'ostrich fsrms
over in your part of the -world, too
-at least, there are some round
California, I believe."
Mrs. Ostrich had added this 't
she bad seen Peggy's smile.
But before they bad bad a
chance to say another word a sand
storm came up.
It was a most terrific sand storm
and John and Peggy did not know
wbat would have happened W
them If they had not had helmet
to wear. The Little Black Clcck
had suddenly brought them forth.
These protected their eyes, n
as the sand blew abou them thty
could look out through the 818'3
of their helmets at what was go05
on. .
The cand made hills in s9
places and in others made valley",
where there had been little san"
hills. The ostriches didn't seem to
mind it at all. and after a whi'8
the wind died down.
Peggy and John bad never 'be
lieved a sand storm could be so
heavy. They were almost gld
when this adventure was over.
