helpfulness to the nation. The four
walls of your room too often seem to
shut you off from the world; some
weary day, dear woman, when nerves
have been strained almost to the
screaming point, and you, dear men,
when to yield to the anger would be
joy, close your eyes ON the post of
duty that for a moment seems dreary
and let your Imagination run free.
Then you will quickly see that you
are not called to carve insensate
blocks, but to lead forth" Individual
tiles; that the children who under
your care grow to a knowledge of
themselves are potential elements in
the national life; that the work you
do is being duplicated in hundreds of
thousands of other little school houses
and that the aggregate of all the work
done is making or marring our ma
tional future. Does the bricklayer
ask for admiration over one brick
well laid in the wall of some towering
building, No, he goes on to another,
being careful to align his work to the
work of all the rest, You too, un-
praised and yet content, because
possessed by your ideal, will go on
with your good work, transmitting
the dull clay of duty into golden Op-
portunity. The routine OF arithmetic
and the strange mouthings OF phOnics
will then be changed from items in a
scheme of teaching, to valued por-
tions of our national bulwarks.
Let no man despise you for good
reason; glorify your office; try to rise
to the demands of the age; work for

moring cry for praise, and be content

Richardson, new boats, will be ready
for the opening of the river in the
spring of 1898.
The fleet of river boast will be large
ly increased in the spring by the addi-
tion of several boats from Tacoma
and the building of others on the
river.
To make the trip from the landing
at the foot of the mountain passes to
Dawson, takes about five weeks, un-
der ordinary conditions. The trip
has been made in twenty-one days,
but, however, without carrying any
thing more than a camp outfit and
sufficient supplies for the journey.
Under ordinary conditions a stop of
several days has to be made at Lake
Linberman, by the Dyea and Skaguay
routes, to build boats for the journey
down the lakes and river to Dawson,
over 800 miles, which is made in from
six to twelve days.
Chilcoot pass from Dyea is not
passable for horses, and supplies are
taken over on sleds drawn by dogs
and men, or packed over on the backs
of miners or Indians. The sleds are
made in Tacoma, of eastern hickory,
are feet long, IS wide, s inches high,
and weigh about 80 pounds. The
runners are steel shod and the knees.
iron braced. About 400 pounds are
carried at a load over the pass, but
after reaching the lakes, early in the
spring before the lakes open, the sleds
carry from 1,500 to 1000 pounds. Two
or three large dogs will handle sled,
and six or eight make fast team.
The White pass from Skaguay is
passable in limited way, for pack
horses, as well as for dogs and sleds.
Packers charge from Is to 20 cents
per pound for carrying supplies over
the passes from the steamer landing
at Dyea or Skaguay to Lake Linder-
man.
Early in the spring before the ice
breaks up in the lakes, the journey is
made down the lakes by sleds until
the breakup. The river from White
Horse rapids down is not passable un-
til the breakup, on account of the
rough and broken condition of the ice
and snow in the river.
Upon careful personal investiga-
tion we make the following estimate
of the distances from the steamer
landing at Dyea and Skaguay, to
Dawson City:

PEOPLE:-That faint little tap on
your desk for attention" at the first
session this term, will, to some of you,
sound as ominous as the tolling of
death-knell. 1t will conjure up the
pleasures of the weeks of rest, and
then they will all vanish under
lurid cloud out of whose gray body
will peep visions of children who in
sist on being stupid when the super
intendent appears, or who are trium-
phantly mischeviOus when your back
is turned and strangely angelic when
you wheel round to detect them.
Really, there is little wonder if your
heart sinks within you, as you remem-
Der that to keep up the standard of
the school you will need to be alert,
not once a week, but every hour of
every day. | can quite understand
feeling akin to nausea, when the fam
liar backs of the old familiar books tell

have to go over the self-same sim
pie lessons to new set of simple lis
teners. Then, if you are Il woman a
little feeling of angry protest will
arise; for you know full well that the
average man of your town, however
free he feels to point out your defects,
would prefer a week of the hardest
toll to one day attempting the control
of twenty of your sprites; and if you
are male teacher, criticised for your
severe discipline. you need no telling
that no mother out of captious ten
would be able to govern such a heap
ed-together family except by the free
indiscriminate slappings.
Altogether you feel little gloomy
as the duties begin to burden your
shoulders again.
