NEGLECT CITED IN HOME WORK “Why not standardize the home tasks of children?” naked Mrs. nelen n. Pau!-sc-n, child welfare expert, today, in reply to a question as to what should to done toward teaching children Mlity and the value of work in the home. “School work has an exact and wellorganized schedule.” said Mrs. Taulsen. “Why not home work?” Mrs. Paulsen pointed out that many home duties msv be helpfully connected with home play. •‘So much emphasis has been placed lately upon fho social need of play and playgrounds that parents are perhaps In danger of forgetting the possibilities of developing pride In good work, and the fact that It Is possible to presen* co operative tasks to children so that they xs-ili under some circumstances prefer work to piay.

Confessions of a Bride “Spiritism—or spiritualism—is as old as man,” said Bob, who has all kinds of information at the tip of bis tongne. “Why, eighteen hundred years ago an ancient satarist rate of the "lone” described a seTurns Oar Conversa- ance of that tion Upon Spiritualism, time. It was held in a dimly lighted chamber, and the crowd got ell worked up and flutteryi But spiritism was invented long before his day—long before men wrote books. It belongs to a dateless past and It is still the belief of tbe primitive minded.” I looked quickly at Chrys and hoped that her feelings had not been hurt by Bob’s speech. Chrys has believed for years In things occult. Bob knew all about her fondness for her ouija board and I knew that be was seizing his chance to make fun of her even at the risk of offending her. Because he Is her twin, Bob often dares to Joke about his sister's pet opinions. Chrys merely smiled In her best enigmatical Mona Lisa effect and listened calmly while Bob went on: “Os course we don't need to discuss superstition. It isn't for us to agree with dad's valet that the ‘lone' was doomed because dad put his shoes on a shelf. But we must realize that a lot of Idiotic superstitions are bound to become popular as one result of the revival of spiritualism.” "And It’s a pity because the belief in good luck or bad Inck, and in omens and charms has nothing whatever to do with the belief that the dead can come hack and talk with the living.” asserted Chrys. "Certainly not," agreed Dr. Spence, ‘•but it's human nature to seize on all unexplainable events and attribute them to ghosts.” “So unnecessary because there are enough kinds of fool delusions to suit ail comers.” remarked Jtm. Jr. "There's clairvoyance, and mesmerism, and trance state, and crystal gazing, to say nothing of the wavs of communication like teble rapping and slate writing and levitation and—and then some.” "To say nothing of the ouija board.— hey—-Chrys?” remarked Bob in his teasing tone. “Make game of it all you want to. hoys, bnt you’ve got to admit that the belief is running across tbe country as fast as ever the flu did. It's the popular intellectual diversion of the decade. It has invaded the universities and set some of the best psychologists of the country to fighting the scientists;' 1 "All types of minds are interested, I grant you.” said Bob. “The original American version of spiritualism effected only the credulous. It was begun by the Fox sisters about 184S They lived on a farm in New Tork. They claimed to get messages from the dead, hut later tn life confessed that they were playing a prank! Nevertheless. what they started swept over the eountry as •spiritualism’ and was taken up by educated people.” "The present revival Is obviously dns to the war,” put in Spence. "I heard a hundred mysterious and unexplainable incidents ‘over there.’ Friends of so! diers who perished demand comfort—and everybody craves mental excitement, and certainly nothing can be moro comforting nor more exciting than so called •proofs' that the dead can communicate with the living.” "All opponents claim that the mediums use simple conjurer's tricks which any detective ought to catch on to and reveal." said .Tom “What about niy vision of two figures on a beach at midnight?

JU/SS HARVARD GIVES PLEASING VOCAL RECITAL New York Soprano Shows Fine Voice in Concert at Local Academy. By GRACE HUTCHINGS. The Indianapolis Academy of Music has never presented a concert of greater artltitlc merit than the one given last night by Miss Sue Harvard, soprano, of New York. Miss Harvard is a young musician who has been making rapid strides In her work, and has, thereby, been gaining recognition as a singer of unusual attainment. She gave evidence not only of a lovely voice and a charming personality in her work, but of a high degree of Intelligent appreciation of the songs she sang. She was able In each number to give out to the audience tbe message of the song, which not all singers can do. Her very high tones were the most admirable: her middle register being the most to be Improved. The high artistic point of the evening was her singing of the aria "Vissi d’Arte” from “Tosca” (Puccini). Many far greater artUt3 have not sung this aria so well. Two songs by Grieg were pleasing, l “Little Margaret” and "A Fair Vision.” There Is a plaintive note in her voice that fits this type of song. A modern number that was difficult to sing and well delivered was “Carneval,” by Fourdrnin. Quite a novelty was Rlmsky-Korsakow’s "Song of the Bride,” which Is sung without accompaniment. Her closing numbers were all by American composers and were very attractive. Prof Rudolf Herne supplied artistic piano accompaniment for Miss Harvard. Musical Students Put on Program The students’ section of the Matinee Musieale held their regular meeting nt the home of Mrs. Frank Kregor, 1621 North Meridian street, yesterday. The program was as follows; Plano, Valae Op. 70, No. 1 Chopin Mrs. Charles Durham, pupil of Mary L. Boyd. Voice, "Non-So Piu t’osa Son”..
