IN OUR iirogcnt dny effort towards
bocIiiI nnd political reform wo look
too ntnndlly Into the future for Die
day of deliverance. The term "a good
time cotnln," has loni been, In effect,
the reformers' wnr rry. To thin tune,
each Bcneratlon In turn raises ItH
iitnndHrd and mnrclies awuy toward ft
promised land, somewhere nhead of
realized hopes and perfected condi
tions. It Is this Koodly heritage, re
vealed In tlnya gone by to our expec
tant forefathers, that we still seek.
To us, as to them, Its fultlllment Is
Illusive always within sight, yet al
ways Just beyond reach. So It Is that
tlioip who take most seriously the con
ditions of life, hurry onward In their
chosen witys, seeming scarcely to ex
pect success In their own day, yet
hoping ever that some other farther
renchlng generation will come up with
the fulflllhncnt of the promise.
This Is the weak side of Idealism to
look beyond or anywhere eUe than
hero and now for the beginnings of
the golden age.
.nd yet Idealism Is the directing
forco of all successful accomplishment.
Without n beautiful and perfected
type. In his mind's eye, of nil ho hopes
to have wrought for thu common good
the social regulator Is steering without
a compaw, To work In a slip-shod
way aiming at nothing In particular
anil exepectlng only Imp-hazard re
sults, Is the mm est road to no results.
The Ideal N surely essential In the
world's pi ogress, but to be potent It
muil set the Ideally."!- at once and cn
thuplastti'iilly at wotl, nnd keep him
at work so long as there Is work to be
done.
Have we dreamed dreams of what
the conditions of our childhood ought
to be and have we still a hope of what
some day they will bo? Then a pat
tern Is ready to our band, and we
have i plainly marked path of duty
before us.
No generation has any call, nor any
time, to attempt chimeric'!! or fan
tastical iefotmi. Much less shall we
give any thought whatever to Im
proving child conditions except by ra
tional and natural -methods. Our chil
dren are very real entitles. The con
ditions Hiirroi'ndlng them are In un
mistakable need of betttiment. For
the child's puke, and for the sake of
future 'generations, this betterment
must be undertaki n now and carried
on with zeal and persistence until
realization Is accomplished.
In a preceding paper It was slated
on authority that where systematic
Improvement In conditions surround
ing our boys Is attempted, the "club"
offers the least resistance. This Is
unquestionably true In principle. In
practice the results are not uniform.
The mere herding of it company of
boys In a warm and pleasantly-appointed
hall, where social Intercourse
Is open and umestralned, succeeds
aslly In winning these boys from the
baneful Influence of the street-corjei'
pang, for the time being: but the
pleasant room and the warm fire aie
not likely to have u sustained drawing
power. The Industrial club, with Its
varied trade elapses and Its disciplin
ary methods, will hold the patronatro
of those already amenable, to disci
pline, and with tastes formed for
manual pursuits; but the member of
the street gang, who knows nothing
if order and system, and who has no
love for labor of any sort, will, after
the novelty wears off, find this club
confining and Irksome. The club, then,
becomes non-resisting only when so
planned as to become Inviting to all
sorts and conditions of the ioy kind.
It should not be forgotten that the
child world Is the same in its phases
as the adult world. Nothing less than
a re-dupllcatlon of these different
uhases In the club will warrant any
measure of success. There must bo
entertainment. There must be regula
tion. There must be motive. The en
tertainment should have quality. Thu
regulations be not too rigid, and under
lying and uniting both should be that
nameless "something" which will make
attendance worth while, and pay the
directors for heavy expenditures In
time nnd nervous energy.
As to the Individual make-up of the
Ideal club. It will be a mistake to
open the club doors to any one class
exclusively. Kor the best good of all
the well-behaved and the Ill-behaved,
the wise and the Ignorant, the tidy and
the untidy, the slatepleker and the
grammar schoolboy need to have
places at the same work-tiench and at
the same game table, Association Is the
first of nil teachers. And while there
may bo real danger to the relatively
superior boy In this Indiscriminate con
tact, the certain and lasting gain
which Is made by the relatively bad
boy In thus brushing, night after night,
against the better manners, the better
morals, and the clenner physical con
dltlon of the other, will, It would seem,
more than compensate for any risk
taken.
It is Biblical too. not to attempt a
separation of thu sheep and the goats
until there Is no longer any hope for
the goats. Is It not, moreover, possible
to have fewer In that group on the left
at the time of final reckoning, by being
less fearful of such comlngllng of so
cial and even moral grades especially
where careful oversight and restraint
are both obtainable? A protest can

and Illogical system of casto which Is
becoming apparent In some directions
between the upper nnd lower middle
class, Youth of our land. lletween

poor such a wall of soclat separation

can afford to give the rich man's son
a Held nil to himself, for he Is not

of the problem In hand. When, how

The chief glory of our country Is that
her social construction Is such that
no boy, because of low birth or mean
station, Is kept from rising to any
height he may aspire to. Merit and
natural endowment are the keys to

to the contrary; and nil honor Is due

son that he has llsen high enough to
become If not Intellectual, ut least the
social leader of laboring men's sons.
Hut what has ho done more than the
laboring man's son Is nlmlng at, or
can be stimulated to aim at, with
very slight encouragement from, those
standing above Iilm' To meet, nnd In
Its measure, counteract this casto ten
dency, the boys club must' be nothing
less than a pure democracy In which
brains, social position, manners and
morals are turned In ns common capi

."sffcrsoii Do Angolls, the cnmlr opci.i ur,
who appeared nt the Lyceum lust nlt'lit in a
"Royal Rogue," is scarcely lcs tnlcrtalniiu
when discussing the sober rcalltira ot life tlnti
when made up n the funny man, who Is the
center of attraction when the principal anl
(horns throng thu Ktage, at u (Umax in tli"
play. So modest and unassuming is hi it it
difficult at first to associate the serious come
trnancc of everyday life with the buffoon of
Hie opera, and liut for the occasional twinkle
of the keen, brown eye-, there is little about
the personality of the actor that would give
any suggestion of the quaint humor which has
given him a reputation a one of the leading;
comedian of the American stage. Do Angclis is
amont- the moat sanguine converts to the iii-vv
school of light opera known as mimical com.
cdy which lie believe will noon be as popular
in rural districts ae it is now In .New York.
"Although It is called comic rpera by ciltits,"
h.iM Mr. Do Angells, "the 'Rojal Roguo' I
not an opera. It is a musical comedy, and
thuj far lias been intuit more successful than
the 'Musketeers, which I consider ainoni; I tic
best of comic opcr.is."
Mr. De Angelis Is of the opinion that the
popular taste for burleCiie and lalsh display
In operatic productljn la on the wene. Many
may disagree with him upon this point, but
in ".lew of tdl circumstances it cannot lie claimed
that Mr. De Angrlls Is not well qualified to
judge.

In a high voice, "Love's Lullaby," by J. C.
Maug is a setting of touching words to a beauti
ful song, plaintive and yearning in character.
.1. I". Mi Coy Is the author of two clever songs,
"There Aie So Many Ways to Love" and "Would
Vein," both distinctly modern and musical in
chaiacler, and useful in any repertoire, especially
as bright, taking encores of a high character.
"Love's Conquest," by Hoffmann, is an inipas.
idonecl love song, cvldintly fitted for tenor voice.
High mid brilliant in character, it ought to be
in every tenor's repertoire. "Under the Green
wood Tree," by Carl liusch, is a good song for
high voice. The words aro from Shakespeare
and the music also Is of (lassie form, yet in
spired and sure to please. It makes an excellent

is also u fine teaching piece,

enstumer nine well known In this section who
used to appear In fancy balls as "Aurora the
God of Morning," However, as Mr, Spenser has
In past demonstrated that there is money in a
