I -
Among students who suffer or
enjoy life with the teacher, specu-
lation and anticipation are always
keen when the old resign and the
new ones come in. The public
thinks little about it. 1t recognizes
the presence OF pedagogues in the
community as belonging to the
regular order, and changes in the
faculty are little noticed. Perhaps
here the teacher himself is in fault.
He should make himself felt, make
his individuality stand out. lie
has had advantage not within reach
of the body OF citizens. Teaching
is far from being limited to test
book Interpretation and explana-
ton of difficulties. All the best
life of the city should feel the
stimulus OF the trained and re-
sourceful teacher. To that end it
might be we'll to tighten work or
increase remuneration. A tired
teacher is poor helper. An UNDER
paid one is not always cheerful
giver. Whatever your ideas, know
that the teacher appreciates your
welcome to your city.
| Its debatable whether continual
shifting of teachers is beneficial to
the growing child. But outside
the fact OF benefit or injury each
year nearly every community sees
the advantage of new personalities
in the school corps. The appli-
cant to boarding house keepers
explains: -"We're teachers, you
know" as If every teacher did not
wear stamp as certainly as the
clergyman or the doctor. II per-
chance both sexes are represented
the kind lady inquiries. do you
wish light housekeepingf" over
looking the fact that the large
majority Of instructors have &C
cepted the single lot as one of the
conditions Of the profession, Such
a question, while embarrassing. is
less heartless than the sometimes
frank remark OF the domestic and
prospective landlady: 81 would
take gentleman roomer." To
the outside such speech is mex
plicable, but the lady OF the house
knows from experience how often
the female lodger wants to use the
ironing board, the cook stove, the
parlor or the whole house. Il
never have gentleman callers, "
say S the applicant in defense. This,
we are sorry to say, is sometimes
true. not to insinuate that teachers
are given to falsehood just to get
located. The housekecper also
has images OF tack holes in the
fresh walls and brings them to her
assistance as she says: "My hus-
band does not want to be bothered
with Toomers, don't mind SO
much" with which remark the
conversation generally closes, for
If the average teacher lacks good
many points she wants to feel that
she is wanted, and wants to be
conscious OF precious ind-pen
dence while il lasts. There are
other people in town alive to the
new arrivals. First is the patient
postmaster. A freight train brings
mail to the homesick and friend
less teacher, SO the man in the
window patiently goes over the
bunch OF letters in the A c or ID
box, and can hardly summon cour-
age to shake his head in the face
of falling tears. The shopkeeper
keeps his hooks well 5aited for
his changing trade, and wins more
customers than he thinks by a
ready smile and polite query. So

CAN REACH THE POLE.

Lieutenant peary some time ago In
New York, stated his reasons for believ-
ing that the North Pole can be reached
by way Of Smith sound and Grlnnell
land. He said to a reporter of the
New York Tribune, that hitherto the
departure from land out upon the Ice
has not been undertaken earlier than
April or 6. Al that time the sun
has been above the horizon long enough
to moderate the temperature greatly
and soften the Ice II this stage OF the
undertaking was entered upon four or
Ave weeks earlier, the ice would un.
questionably be much iirmer.
He said 1t was necessary to walt for
daylight, but this Is sufficient for ex-
ploratlon purposes at the beginning OF
March or even at the close OF February.
II IL not necessary to delay until the
equinox. The daylight there would
be the same as the morning twilight a
few minutes before sunrise.
Two years. he added, would be enough
to accomplish the task. II the ex-
plorers had good luck and went prop
erly prepared. only one winters stay
up there might be essential. but at
most two ought TO test the feasibility
Of his latest theories.
That sounds as If Lieutenant Peary
would like to take another trip to the
frozen north.

DO MONKEYS TALK?

The most difficult language to learn
must, If Prof. Gamers theories be ac-
cepted, be the monkey language. He
says he studied monkey speech Tor
fourteen years. He made three trips to
Africa and spent nearly five years In
cage in jungle Inhabited by slmians'
He found that the monkeys had only
seven 'basc words. Their language
has no infections, no declensions, no
verbs; II consists merely OF some words
such az love, food. drink. fear, etc.-and
these basic words, being varied in their
meaning by the modulations of the
monkey voice, make up the language.
And yet II took him fourteen years
10 find out all about II. In that per-
iod OF time he might have learnt a
whole group Of human languages. But
when ne has written his monkey gram
mar and monkey dictionary the road
Will be clear and easy TO travel But
there is no probability Of that language
ever becoming universal" though
According TO Prof Garner, monkeys not
only have language, but social gath
erings and amusements. He claims that
at certain seasons Of the year, the CHIN
panzees hold what he calls "kanjo,"
or a dance. The monkeys, he says,
make drum by bringing from the riv-
er certain clay, which they pack upon
a certain kind of peat, the result being,
when the clay hardens, sonorous
drumhead eight or ten feet In diameter.
The professor brought one OF these
drumheads home with him. Around
this drum, then, the chimpanzees hold
their "kanjo." One beats the drum with
two sticks. one In each hand, and the
rest dance together, screeehlng.
Professor Garner has many strange
tales to tell about monkeys. But the
strangest, perhaps, Is that they have
a language by which they can COM
municate their thoughts to the profess
sor and In which he can speak to them
and be understood. The next question
to decide is. is this Language" COM
mon to all monkeys Of the same kind,
or do, for instance. the chimpanzees OF
east Africa speak dialect different
from those OF the interior? Is their
language, like certain human exclama-
lions and signs of emotion. common to
the entire species. or is 1t not? In 9TH
er words, is 1t Language" at all?
That is stu the question.

ldent as arbitrator In this case, would
be a great victory for American diplo-
macy.
But the allied powers can certainly
do no better. They have bound them
selves not to occupy any territory
They have already destroyed some OF
the Venezuelan ships and demolished
fort without bringing any results as
to the collection Of their claims. They
might continue such acts OF vandalism
as long as there is anything within
reach OF the naval guns to destroy But
such wanton destruction OF property,
without declaration Of war, would
only make the perpetrators liable 10
damages, Evidently the allied powers
can do no better than trust TO the
good Judgment the justice the fair
ness OF Uncle Sam for a final adjust
ment Of the trouble.
Full informatlon Is lacking as to the
circumstances that led TO the seizure
Of the ships In the harbor of. Guayra.
The reports are contradictory, The
British and German governments per-
sIst In saying they are without official
reports OF the circumstances. One
Venezuelan statement is that the Brit
ish and German cruisers fred at the
two vessels and sank them far out
at sea, the Venezuelan officers and
crews having been put on shore when
the vessels We're seized. The unofficial
British statement Is that If they were
sunk II YVES done by the Germans, and
that while the act Is regrettable, the
boats were only unseaworthy revenue
cutters and not war vessels. The Ger
man statement Is 10 the same effect
except that the blame IS placed on the
British commander. SO here is some
thing to be cleared up by an impartial
arbitrator.
The entire affair should be a lesson
to the republics to the south Of us.
They should learn that, politically, the
United States Is their best, II not their
only friend. They should be cautious
as to their financial dealings with pow
ers that have no sympathy for them,
or their republican institutions, The In
cldent should suggest the wisdom OF
renewing the efforts for the establish
ment OF pan-Amercan alliance, The
Latin American nations do not need
Europe specially. There is no article
of commerce they cannot get as cheap
~ and much more expedtiously from
the United States. Our political friend
ship Is at their disposal even without
the asking, az was demonstrated for
the benefit Of Venezuela In her form
er difficulty with England. The Cen
ual and South American states must
In time realize how much they sacrifice
when they discard American friendship
and trade for that OF European ma
tlons. and that should be q wholesome
lesson from the present trouble.

ONE CAUSE OF DIVORCE

A new cause for divorce was given
the other day before students Of the
University Of Chicago, BY the general
superintendent Of charities Of that city,
Mr.. Ernest p. nicknell He claimed
that poor cooking and ntidiness were
the underlying cause Of severing the
matrimonial ties of 400 couples in Chi
cago last year. These cases, he claim
ed. had all come under his personal OBJ
servation. and Il is safe TO infer that
there are many more OF the same class.
lii each instance. he said lax methods
o. housekeeping on the part OF women
formed the cause for their desertlon by
husbands The wife would then apply
for divorce on the ground Of non-sup-
port, though In fact she was primarily
responsible for the desertion. It was
in the applications of the neglected
wives for assistance through the bu-
reau Of charities that the eases came
to the attention OF Mr.. Bicknell.
This is phase Of the divorce prob.
lem. which has not received much at
tenton. The fact Of the matter is that
men and women too often enter upon
tie matrimonial venture without count
ing the cost, or their ability TO meet the
cost. They are not prepared to make
the sacrifices that are needed on both
sides, in order to render life harmonious
and sweet. They are disappointed when
they are called upon TO meet trials and
hardships. hot realizing that these, II
met In the right spirit, viii call forth
the best qualities and form the char
acter as Il should he The consequence
&c, that they run away from one an.
Other and from the difficulties Of life
that they should meet. and conquer to-
gether
Devotion to strong drink however
and unfaithfulness are no doubt more
frequently responsible for unhappiness
and divorce than is untidiness In
housekeeping. The man that spends his
earnings this way. Is not likely to have
much left over for tidiness in the home
and the wife cannot be blamed II she
finds It impossible to meet the highest
expectatIons under such circumstances

which gave them birth, the Rocky
mountains, the Appalachians.th Apen-
mines. the Alps. the Andes. the Neva-
das. the Circasslans. the Caucasus, the
great mountain ranges OF Australia and
Africa had birth Yet these were not
reared suddenly by some continent Gre
ating explosion, but slowly, surely, ten
Derby as IL becomes mother earth to
develop her giant children. Thus, by
analysis, We arrive at the age Of the
Ozarks, yet fail to comprehend; for
we cannot measure their ancient hight,
nor picture the stormy world. We can
dimly imagine It revolving ,enveloped In
clouds, the rain In ceaseless torrents
descending, and the wide ocean rolling
free and unbroken, save whore the
Ozarks broke the waves and turned the
tide back upon itself"
This view of the case is different from
that which once prevailed. America
was long regarded as the youngest OF
continents. What the Prophet Joseph
first taught on the subject OF this con
tlnent being the first, and the home OF
the first man, is gradually being ac-
cepted as scientific facts though at
first announced by one who was regard
ed az ignorant Thus science becomes
