Etab Is but the most northern of
some dozen stations occupied by the
Smith Sound Eskimos. One hesitates
at the word settlement" because it
conveys an idea of permanency, both
as to location, and also, in measure,
as to the personnel of the body of the
settlers, and this is only half true of
the settlements of the tribe of less
than ESQ individuals who live at scat
tered points along the coast from Cape
York to Foulke Fjord. The points of
settlement are permanent, apparently,
having been chosen, doubtless,
through a process of selection with
reference to shelter and food supply,
continued through many generations,
but the families that inhabit them
vary each year in accordance with
curious reshuffiing which takes
place, quite spontaneously, it appears,
at Peterawik glacier, where there is
tribal gathering every spring. One
rarely finds more than half a dozen
families at any place, and each of
them may have spent the previous
year at different station from all
the others. 1t is easy to conceive of
certain solidarity of tribal organiza-
ton which results from such system,
and which it would be difficult to
improve upon under conditions of pre-
carious food supply that makes
necessary the widely scattered living
OF the families of the tribe. Not only
are their ties of all degrees of blood
relationship which bind each member
to the others, but each is personally
known to all through the intimacy OF
closely interdependent existence
which is the only manner of life pos
sible to men encompassed by an arctic
world and the serious business oil
whose lives is to hunt for uncertain
supplies yielded by wild and some
times fierce animals. There is no tri-
bal organization, no chief, nor any
elders in authority; indeed, no pre-.
meditated, structural system of any
kind, but quite simple order which
issues naturally from the facts o.
equality and of equal sharing in al
the essentials of livelihood. Witt

A Boston man recently paid visit
to a small town in Vermont and was
and shocked at the amount
of profanity he heard in the streets OF
that village. He declared that all the
men and boys swore necessarily IN
their conversation; that with them
profanity had become instructive,
commonplace and even, necessary. 1t
had through long use lost all its force
and emphasis, had become an insep-
arabic part of the everyday and sim
pie speech.
His remarks seem to bear out the
recent statements of prominent New
York lawyer who claims that the in
habitants of the smaller villages of the
country do more swearing in one week
than a person would hear in a large
civ in a month. His views on the de-
crease of profanity in our large cities
are interesting. He says:

Spending 1. Sometimes Saving.

The true end of craftsmanship is
to promote the greatest public well
fare, whether this means saving dollars
or spending dollars. When economy
will contribute to this welfare econo-
my is good, but where it will cripple
some important branch of public SER
vice then economy is bad; and the
public official who tries to make a
record in defiance of this fact is no
real friend to public welfare. Where
sinecures exist, or useless political
lob" commissions. or where waste
occurs by poor organization of the SER
vice, then economy and reorganization
are in order; but where important
work would be less effectively done by
arbitrarily abolishing offices and re-
ducing the number of employees, then
the path of craftsmanship is to point
out the grounds for distinguishing be-
tween the two cases and shape poll
cies ordingly.-Gunton's Magazine
