THE LIFE AT POINT LOMA Notes by Katherine Tingley, Leader of Universal Brotherhood and Theosophy. At the Raja Yoga school children are treated in accordance with the facts of life and the needs of life. The love which is given them is that truest affection which thinks ever of their welfare without regard to the selfish pleasures which they can render in return. The affection which shows itself in the administration of injurious dainties, by unwholesome fondling, by injudicious petting, is not love at all, but selfishness. To truly love a child is to help it to develop its highest faculties, which grow by, and through, a willing service to others, to teach it to help itself and so grow strong to help its fellows. The child which is big enough to raise its hands to strike can equally well use that hand in its own legitimate service instead of demanding from those around it an aid which it could well render to itself. Thus, at the Raja Yoga school, we see children of the tenderest age who have grown to be helpful and self-reliant, and it would be easy to find groups of a dozen babies who make far less demand upon those who are in charge of them, and who are regard themselves as integral responsible parts of the nation which they belong. They are taken to aspire to the position of natural benefactors, teachers and heirs and so to become exponents of truest and the wisest patriotism. Music is usually regarded as amusement, a relaxation, and nothing more. At Point Loma it comes a part of life itself, and those subtle forces of nature rightly applied calls into action the divine powers of the soul. The world has a wrong conception of ideal in music, and not until it rectified this conception can it receive that the true harmony of sic can never proceed from one has not that true harmony w himself. We find therefore that all the musical life at the Point money consideration is entirely sent, and that personal vanity not enter at all. There is held an immense correspondence between music on the one hand and those and aspiration upon the other, only that deserves the name of sic to which the noblest and purest aspirations are respo Music is a part of the daily life at the Point, not merely as an exe which occupies its stated time seasons, but as a principle which imates all the activities. The power which is called forth harmony well delivered and weceived does not die away with conclusion of the piece. It hasited a response from within nature, the whole being has well use that hand in its own legitimate service instead of demanding from those around it an aid which it could well render to itself. Thus, at the Raja Yoga school, we see children of the tenderest age who have grown to be helpful and self-reliant, and it would be easy to find groups of a dozen babies who make far less demand upon those who are in charge of them, and who are consequently happier, than many a single child whose parents have given it a "love" which will not be helpful to it through life. The children at the Raja Yoga school are not only shown the beauty of self-help, but they are also shown the uselessness and folly of anger and pride and jealousy. They are afforded glimpses of their own natures and are thus taught to discriminate between the higher and the lower, between the real and the unreal. Every essential moral lesson which can be taught to adults can be taught also to children; and surely it is better that the little ones should learn, in the love and sancity of the home, the lessons which the world has a rougher method of imparting at an age when mental habits have become confirmed. The Raja Yoga education is but a permission to the child to grow without the chains of self-love which will ever remain outside of its nature if the foundations of education be laid aright. Are there not very may parents who will even admire in their children those very faults which may, as adults, bring them within reach of the law, encouraging in them the self-will and the vanity which must surely mar their lives? The world has not yet realized how much of truth children already know, and how much of that truth we destroy by our mistakes. There are but few children who do not know well that all nature is a great teacher, until we by our materialism, and often by our ridicule, drive the knowledge from their minds. the Point, not merely as an exewhich occupies its stated time, seasons, but as a principle which imates all the activities.

There are but few children who do not know well that all nature is a great teacher, until we by our materialism, and often by our ridicule, drive the knowledge from their minds. The Theosophic education is not so much a something which is imparted. It is a liberation from the powers of the lower forces which hinder and check a growth which ought to be unchecked and spontaneous. The usual studies of school life are not neglected, but they are made to blend harmoniously with the entire system of education. Teachers of proved and recognized ability are provided, and the ordinary school curriculum receives an attention which leaves nothing to be desired. Finally the children are taught to Rickets.

It has elic- ense from within the whole being has been redemption forces of the age. Art at Point Loma follows faithfully upon the lines of the science of the soul which it is our mission to revive. Under this science it becomes the true expression of the soul ideals, and both art and decoration are no longer adventitious or capricious additions to our environment, but they become integral parts of that to which they belong. They become in themselves the expression of the law of evolution, and the demonstration of the reality of that law. As in the case with music, the art at Point Loma is a principle which pervades all the life and activity. Whatever has in any way a right to exist must contain within itself the possibility of existing beautifully. The power of beautiful expression is not an affair of the intellect, nor of custom, nor convention, nor can it be learned intellectually nor from books. It comes from the arousing of the inner powers of the soul which are in sympathy with whatever is high and pure. It would be impossible to find conditions more ideal for the production of a worthy and permanent literature. Theosophy, even under its initial and most adverse conditions, has already supplied the world with a literature which has profoundly modified the thought and enriched the language of the day. How much greater will be the influence of this new literature which is being prepared and given to the world under conditions so well qualified to call forth from the merly as an exercise its stated time and as a principle which anactivities.

How much greater will be the influence of this new literature which is being prepared and given to the world under conditions so well qualified to call forth from the writers the best work of which their natures are capable. In a review of some of the more important features of the life at Point Loma, it must be carefully kept in mind that the object in thus establishing ideal conditions is the uplifting and the betterment of the world. Point Loma is to be, and is already, a center from which streams of brotherly love radiate into the world. The institution at the Point has no other reason for its existence than to benefit humanity at large, to show that the life which is inspired by hope is necessarily the life which is rich in achievement, and that man indeed does possess to the fullest extent a dominion over nature, vast and unimaginable. The remedial activities of the world, noble as many of them are in intention, proceed from a false basis. Recognizing that the large masses of humanity are environed by conditions the reverse of the ideal, they imagine that individual character is the result of that environment. They make of man the slave instead of the master. Such material efforts have their due place in any well-considered scheme, and it is a subsidiary place. Man is essentially a creator and he can be considered in no other way if the postulate of human divinity be once admitted. Only by the assertion of his divinity can he become master of his conditions, only by the force thus generated can he lay hold of his own nature, and of all nature around him, and compel it into an expression of his own ideals, and force it into the service of his necessities. the social life of today reform more manifest drama.

Only by the assertion of his divinity can he become master of his conditions, only by the force thus generated can he lay hold of his own nature, and of all nature around him, and compel it into an expression of his own ideals, and force it into the service of his necessities. The value of the Point Loma institution lies in the fact that it has proved the truth of its theories by its success. It has accomplished the mission which brought it into being. It has rescued theosophy from the domain of an intellectualism which might easily have become more selfish, because more subtle, than the current thought of the world. It has demonstrated that the theo-sophic life is the life of practical common sense, and that in the light of its philosophy the shadows pass away and man can enter into his own birthright of joy. To ask, "Will the system change present conditions?" is but to elicit the assurance that it has already changed them. The inertia of custom and convention has been already broken, and the unrest of the world at which so many look with distrust and with apprehension, is but the movement of the ship with the incoming tide of purer and better thought. Ideals have been thrown out into the world, and because they are spirited ideals they have entered into the minds of men and have A new line at th painted entrancing pictures o the world shall be if man we master of himself and of it. ideals will not die away unt have been accomplished, until have given birth to other which will illuminate forever roadway of all future life, deci the reality of a reign of peace earth and of God in Man.

It Out of This State a's shipments of oranges, grapefruit, which now reach 30,000 carloads annually, Pacific Coast growers are adding thousands of cars of fruits and vegetables, a large part of which come from lands lately reclaimed from the desert by irrigation. Cantaloupes and table grapes that rival the finest hothouse products are the most rapidly developing additions to California's output. Last season's cantaloupe shipments amounted to 600 cars, and this season it is expected that 1000 cars will be shipped. This year's shipments of deciduous fruits, which begin with cherries in May and end with grapes in November, are expected to show a decrease of about 1000 cars as compared with last year's output of 8000 carloads. The reason for this is the constantly increasing output of California canned goods, the growers preferring to sell to the canners, and the decrease of fresh fruit is more than made up by larger shipments of other fruits and vegetables. Celery growers alone of Smeltzer sent 2700 carloads to market this season.
