sEAL-PISHERIEs PROBLEM,

Professor David Starr Jordan is not
favoraby impressed with Uncle Sam s
conduct Of affairs in Alaska, and declares
that the way our Government has been
solving problems in that Arctic territory
is by simply letting things take care OF
themselves. He suggests the establish
ment by the American Nation OF a distin ct
and definite colonial bureau, wherein busi-
ness principles shall prevail, if we are
really intent on developing the resources
OF our outlying possessions.
"lf things go on for ten years more as
they are going on now" he claims, "there
will be nothing left in Alaska but starving
Indians and gold-hunters." The great
wealth in fishes and fur bearing animals
which might be conserved for centuries
under wise management will be dissi.

"HEAET CULTURE" IN THE PUB
Lie SCHOOLS.

To the Editor of the San Francisco CdN-SIR:
AS THE CALL "speaks for all" l presume it
will speak for me in reference to a certain sub
ject matter that interests "alp'-every body,
church ana State and every individual in the
church or State 10 wit Heart Culture
which THE CALL discusses in recent issue.
OF course, everybody has a right to his or ner
own individual opinion; provided, however,
1t be intelligent opinion, l. e., obtained
from a study and knowledge of the subject
matter upon which the opinion is formed.
And here permit me to say that the matter OF
'.heart culture in youth generally, and in
the public schools especially, has engaged my
very earnest attention for more than fifty
years. And during this long period, as a
teacher, Superintendent. parent ana OBJ
servant, the conviction mas grown upon me,
and stronger and stronger even till now. and
now even more earnest conviction than
ever, that "heart culture" in childhood and
in youth is of supremest i'm portance-nothing
not speech, not the alphabet, should stand
before it.
In our public schools we now have any num-
Der of cultures some very important and
some not very important We have "physi-
cal culture in theory fine study, IN prae-
tice and results often amounting to little
and sometimes worth less than n, cost, r1 Il
ture of the eye the ear, the voice, the
hand, the foot and the head, and above all
intellectual culture without stint or limits
and l sometimes think without rhyme or
reason" But "heart culture" the most and
infinitely the most important OF all, has long
been mostly ignored, sidetracKed and 'Ieft,
ruSting to decay in tne grooves
And do not hesitate to say that IT has long
been my clear and unwavering conviction that
if our public school system ever loses lis
efficiency for good, and hence the affection and
the united support OF an intelligent and
patriotic people, it will be the result of the
neglect of 'heart culture in the public
schools. On this subject the Superintendent
is right-entirely right, and if Superintendent
Webster succeeds in securing this aforesaid
culture IN the pu ublic schools of our City by the
cooperation of the Board OF Education and
others. he and they will be entitled to the
everlasting gratitude Of this community and
State and our country; and in the end they
will receive the thanks of all good sensible
men and women of all sects and classes.
AS to the merits OF the proposed textbook in
itself know nothing nor do know the au-
thor; l only :intend here to speak of the
merits OF "heart culture" pure and simple. AS
long as change remains the superior and
overruling law cf the universe l suppose we
may not expect that there will not be change
OF textbooks-the less frequently the better,
think. But if "heart culture ever comes
trust it will come to stay, and have no dou bt
that it will remain a favorite cult while the
public schools continue 10 have existence.

vent schooners from engaging in the bus-

ten years increase of sea-otter in one
year, is the chief cause OF the disa ppear-
ance OF the sea-otter herds" When the
fur-seals and sea- -otters are killed off, their
islands become deserts.
Regarding the fur seals the evil effects
of pelagic sealing are noticeable to an
alarming extent at the seal rookeries.
The branding experiment has proved
success, according to Professor Jordan.
The process is said to be no more painful
to seals than wool clip to sheep, and the
purpose of branding is to render the skins
unstable.
1t is clear something must be done to
protect the seals. and we may be sure the
present administration can be depended
on to act in accordance with the best
interests of the Government upon the

MoKINLEY'S SHORT SPEECHES,

The short speeches made by President
Mckinley on various occasions during his
tour of New York State are as a rule
replete with interest to every section OF
the Nation. His utterances are full of
the spirit OF patriotism, and whether he
addresses old soldiers at a campfire or a
gathering at the banquet board. or his
fellow-citizens at wayside station, his
words are always appropriate to time and
place, his language always choice. His
plentitude OF ideas his thorough knowl-
edge OF history and memory of events.
and, above all, his grand gift of wisdom,
make his impromptu speeches read often
like carefully written essays.
While on his way to the Grand Army
encampment at Buffalo the President
spoke to a gathering at Rochester, and
referring to the hon ors pad to the
veterans who wore the blue exclaime ed ::
1--WE cannot exalt patriotism too high :;
we cannot encourage too much love of
country, FOR as long as patriotism exists
in the hearts of the American people so
long will our unrivaled institutions be
secure and permanent" In a campfire
speech at Buffalo he paid eloquent tribute
to the memory OF those heroes "who see p
within the tents OF green whose curtains
never outward swing"
"The Country and its Defenders" was
the Presidents theme at the Grand Army
banquet. What defenders have we now?"
he asked, after speaking of the boys who
followed the flag in '6l, and he answered
the question IN this feiicitous manner
I'VE have the remnant of this old, mag
nificent, matchless army. and then as
allies in any future war we have the brave
men who fought against US on Southern
battlefeds The army of Grant and the
army of Lee are together. They are one in
faith, in hope, in fraternity, in purpose
and in an invincible ratrlotism; and,
therefore, the country is in no danger-in
justice strong, in policy secure and in de-
votion to the flag-all one.
BLESSED is that country whose sold iers
are willing to give their lives for its pre-
servation, because they love 1t. Such an
army the United States has always CON-
manded in every crisis of her history"
Patriotism breathes everywhere through
the words of the chief magistrate, and
when one has listened to him, or read the
printed report, it certainly makes that one
prouder than ever of his American citi-
zenship.
