Tragedy Of the Links.
BY S. W. GILLIAN.

He had his first try-out at golf,
One sweltering summer day;
! He took little pinch Of sand
! And made cunning ''tay'
Whereon to place the checkered
sphere.
Anon he braced and swang
| His brawssie back behind his head,
Then brought it down-kerbang.
The little bali
Moved not at all.
He had an angry, baff!ed look,
A dislocated wrist,
A broken .brawssie; ditto. heart;
But yet-did he desist?
All, no; for he was game as game.
He took another stick,
Swung It again into the air
And struck out like Old Nick
But did that ball
Move? Not at all.
Yet still that brand new golfer
smote
And eke grew mighty mad;
He hit himself in places that
He didn't know he had.
He swung, he pelted, spoiled his tee,
Struck everything at all
Within the compass of his club.
Except that checkered ball
That through it all
Moved not at all.
The blistering sun grew warmer and
He felt its fervent heat;
His pores beganSto perspirate-
You never saw the beat.
He melted little at time.
Until a greasy spot
Showed weeping friends who saw him
there
The novice now was not
Although the ball
Moved not at all.
They pressed tear stained blotting
pad
Upon that greasy place
And walled because they never more |
Might see that smiling face.
4 youth he was of promise great
The sort that eyes attract
So is it any wonder all
Were moved who knew the facts?
Did / say "all?"
No no, That ball
Moved not at all.

EDUCATING THE GIRLS.

The question of a lack of domestic
| science in colleges has been causing
more or less agitation recently. The
National Household Economic associa-
ton has put committee to work on the
problem.
The Good Housekeeping Magazine
has started an investigation on its own
responsibility.
The college women's number of this
magazine, for March, devotes consider
able space to this problem. Coming out
as it does coincidently with the opening
of a like discussion in the leading ed
vocational periodicals., it will serve to
crystalline popular attention and give
needed direction to what is taking on
the dimensions of a movement of ma
tional scope and Importance. A recent
issue of the Educational Review, for
example, which is edited by President
Butler of Columbia college. contained
an able article along this very line, and
similar material is in preparation for
one or more of the general reviews.
But why, is at once asked, should the
colleges for women impart a knowledge
of domestic science. 1t is an insult to
womanhood according to certain the
cries of education, to recognize a femi-
nine intellect in distinction from mas
culine. Colleges for women, Presi-
dent Seelye of Smith college said, exist
for the training and broadening of the
mind, without reference to a specific
career as do the colleges for men. To
assume that a woman is to be a home
maker is irrelevant. Sanitary science,
these educators say, is as truly a spe-
cialty as is trade or profession, and
would have no place in the academic
curriculum if there were time for its
cultivation.
But is it any longer mere special
typ DIR. James H. Garfield, librarian
of Columbia university, formerly presi-
dent of the Ohio state university and
chancellor of the University of Ne
braska, points out with utmost clear
ness in the February number of the
magazine referred to the fallacy of this
position.
1.-THE simple fact isl he says, "that we
are only asking for such recognition of
the after-life of the woman as has g.
ways been given to the after-life of the
man. There is a common belief that
the present classical course or general
course, was built up Intentionally and
intelligently and philosophically very
much as it is today. because of it's Gull
ture-value, and for no other reason.
The fact is. however, that the present
classical course grew up along the line

WHAT oF SOUTH POLE.

"A Kansas man is in search of the
North Pole and the Pittsburg Gazette
calls attention to the fact that the
South Pole explorations have not re-
ceived much attention. The Gazette
says:
The race to the North Pole has not
yet been won. But every expedition that
has started for that goal brings it's ulti-
mate realization nearer. In the endeavor
to reach the utmost limit of the earth
in northerly direction. If not fulfilled
by the hundreds of brave and untiring
spirits who have dared its unknown
dangers with a fortitude worthy of a
cause which is at once great and pc
culiarly attractive. the scientific re-
suits worked out in seeking are of the
greatest possible interest to mankind.
Until the last few years exploration of
the South Polar regions has been al
most entirely neglected. The dangers
attending its investigation are incom-
parably greater than those which had to
be faced in working beyond the Arctic
circle. These in some measure could be
anticipated. The equipment necessary
for such a journey could be approx
mately provided. The South Pole IS not
only land of mystery, but of over
Wheiming danger.
The only general and undeniabie fact
known in connection with the Antarctic
is that there lies vast continent. with
an absolutely impenetrable barrier of
ice On the fringeS Of this lies terri
torial area upon which it is possible TO
land, make observations and pick up
such scraps of geological and botanical
information as the place affords. Elk
plorer c. Z. Borchgrevink has just re-
turned from a years SoJourn in the
'-farthest SOUTH The result is appar-
emily insignificant so far as discovery
goes, although the purely scientific re-
suits may be more promising when they
are given to the world. Little more is
known of this waste than was made
known by Sir James Ross sixty years
ago. There is no mammalian life, and
its flora, so far as Mr. Borchgrevink
could discover, consisted only of a
single species of lichen.

of definite needs, and it's growth was
as distinctly practical as the growth of
any of the modern technical courses
1T began with the classics and phi
losophy and literature for the clerics- 1t
extended the courses somewhat for the
jurists, when these became distinctly
recognized as worthy of special train
ing. 1t added such sciences as it recog-
nized, largely for the physician. Hav-
ing adapted the course to meet the very
practical demands of these three pro-
fessions, the curriculum remained al
most without change for generations
