 When he went to Chicago to undergo the operation, every member of his fam fly accompanied him. together with several officials of bis church. It would have been easy to think that Dr. Ide was taking party to Chicago to under go serious operations but it would not have been easy for q stranger to think that Dr. Ide was to be operated upon with only chance ill 50 for his life.
 When the company reached the recep- tion room, Mir. Ide arose and said with perfect calmness, 1T am ready, doctor. !" Then he kissed each member of his fam fly, said goodby and asked all in the room to be standing and join him ill re- beating the Lords Prayer. His request was complied with. As he passed through the door into the operating room he saluted the distressed people and threw a kiss to the loving wife.

He Wants Business.

An enterprls1ng young physician of Warsaw Ills, has built private tele- phone line connecting his office with the houses of all his country patients. cause The entire animus of the arctic regions is against large parties Where men will get along in safety and com fort 6 would merely exist on half rations and l2 die of starvation The two men party is the ideal one Both Nansen and myself have proved this.
 The leader of the expedition must be at the head of the advance party. No successful arctic party can be led from the rear.
 ''The latitude of Lockwood and Brain ard s farthest north Is 83 degrees 24 minutes. The distance from this point, up to which we know there is land, to the pole and return is less than the dis tance from Whale sound to Independ- ence bay and return, which have twice covered, once with 8 single companion and again under the heaviest handicap.
 "Quite likely the question comes up, If this method is so practicable, why has not the establishment of base in this locality been attempted before, and why have not attempted it myself?' It has been attempted before, but, there be- ing no means for aeontinued effort, fail ure ill the first attempt has resulted i'll it's abandonment As for myself, it has been entirely question of money. The funds at my disposal have not permitted the charter of ship beyond Whale sound.
 ''The points i'll favor of this project are:
 ''First. The utilization of the Eski- mo, the people best fitted i'll the world for that particular kind of work-men who, under the leadership of one whom they know to be their friend and in whom they have the utmost confidence, would follow to the end, faithful and loyal as their own magnificent dogs.
 Second Land for base. The party launched into the icy waste from the northern archipelago would have some definite, fixed point to which to return, rather than ship drifting with the drifting ice, to vanish like will O the wisp, as did the Tram from Nansen. Then should the party be swept westef- ly ill it's retreat it would still strike land, and, finding depots at each prom inent headland, could easily reach head quarters.
 'Third. A practicable and already utilized route for a retreat independent of the ship or outside assistance.
 ''In nutshell, my project means:
 First. The raising of a sum suffi- cient to insure persistent, continued ef- fort, so that if the attempt fails the first year it can be repeated the next, and the next, and the next, until it is done.
 tSecond.-The establishment of par ty of picked Eskimo families, surgeon and an experienced leader at the highest practicable point on the northwest coast of Greenland, with ample supplies, means of communication which would enable the colony to sustain itself until its work is accomplished, and with a practicable line of retreat entirely inde- pendent of the ship.
 ''This project in more detail and ac- companied by maps will be placed be- fore your council in the belief that it will meet the approval and indorsement of the society. With that indorsement believe the time is sopportune for raising the money for the work. ''

environment when it mentions in- dustrial education as new depart ure in the South. In the South in general we have had always men ac- complished in industrial arts and sciences, but industrial conditions in the South have not ways fur
 nished such men the required op- portunity at home. And what has changed with US is not so much the course and purpose of education as the material conditions which sur round us. If the Post will jog its memory it will find that both in the industrial and fne arts the South doest not present a field of dearth
 In civil and mining engineering We have led the North in the quail
 ty if not in the quantity of our worthies, and We will mention in this connection Eads, Ellison, k. B.
 Lee, Rives and Hammond of Trans vaal fame; in architecture we find in our Southern anthology the name of
 Bell and Richardson, the latter regarded everywhere as the great est American architect. In ehemis-
 try, that most useful of sciences,
 we have always led the march, and
 the names of these leaders, while not so often heard, are known and revered among scholars, North and South. In fishculture the Virgin ian, Marshall Mcdonald, has led all others. In fact, during his service in the National Fish Commission,
 he has developed pisciculture to a point approaching perfection; and Powell, another Southerner, has done for our national geological sur veys Q work of enduring value.
 What shall We say of Fontai Maury, who eharted the trade winds and revealed new things about the GulfStream who was called ''the pathfinder of the seas. <" Of Bachman, the modest South Caro- linian, who when in Paris as an un- known and unheralded visitor, heard his name mentioned in the Academy of Sciences as conclusive authority on an insect which was injurious to plant life? Of the thou sands of brilliant young men of Southern birth who are today dis tinguished in Northern industrial and scientific work. Perhaps the conclusion reached by the Houston Post applies to Texas, but not to the South at large However, we read fly admit that in view of the ab- senee from many portions of the South of great iudustria, enterprises one would conclude that the children of Southern men of means pay no heed to technical industrial education. The roster of em- ployes of scientific institutions and of the great manufacturing indus tries of the North and of the vast mining operations of the West will reveal the names of many a South erner occupying professional, ex- pert and managerial positions.
