There is quite sensation in north

ward the Friends preacher, Eliza
Williams. The merchant of the villa

of a wife and the preacher in need of
money, they came to an agreement in
which the money, $3.50, was handed
over. But Mrs. Williams failed in
her part to become his wife, give, him
note or security of any kind. The
old man is very sore over his loss and

The ship subsidy bill was killed dur
ing the late session OF congress and any
attempt to revive it in the next session
will be futile. The American marine ia
growing rapidly without subsidization.
AS one authority puts it: American
capital now owns very large sea-going
tonnage. American yards are now
building steamships for the foreign
trade. The export trade does not suffer,
and has not suffered, from lack Of trans
portation facilities. The government
has on several occasions adopted the
subsidy policy, and in no instance have
the promised results followed. There
is not a single argument of public
character in support of the measure
nothing bat the hunger of very linn
tied number of private interests to get
public money. Fourrepublicans united
with the democratic opposition aud
killed the bill IN the house committee
on merchant marine"

To the long standing question, what
shall be done with the iackrabbit? Echo
answers that he shall be canned. The
aim is to convert HIM from pest into a

mitted to roam at large, free to devour

preserved, the little denizens Of the sage
brush country will be slaughtered for
commercial purposes and may possibly
find their way in cans to the larders of

This was true in the case OF Miss
Mary Rogers, graduate of Wellesley,
who recently took charge Of a school in
Pawtucket, r. l. She was an excellent
teacher, and maintained commendable
discipline among her pupils except in
the case of one Silas Holmes, who was
the traditional big boy Of the school,
the leader in mischief and general
trouble breeder who gloried in the fact
that he had clicked the teacher" in
days gone by and was naughty and
tumultuous because of his victory.

Silas had little respect for, Miss Rog-
ers, because she was woman, and re-
Gently he became extremely impudent
He refused to obey orders and practic-
ally dared the mistress to bring him TO
time. But he reckoned without his
host, for he did not know that Miss
Rogers had been the champion basket
ball player and a leader in athletics at
the institute from which she was gradu-
ated. When he refused to conduct him
sslf as he should, and did it insolently,
Miss Rogers dragged him into the mid
die OF the room, shook him vigorously,
boxed his ears, twisted him up and ad-
ministered castigation where it would do
the most good and left him prone upon
the floor, where he was cautioned to re-
main until he was ready to acknowledge
who was boss.

ATHENA. MARCH 90. 1908

II one we're asked TO name the strong
est proof of the virility of the American
race, he would not be far wrong il he
pointed to the fact that we are able to
to receive and assimilate the enormous
immigration which pours like a flood,
year by year, upon our shores, without
losing our strongly marked character
istics either in the nation or in the in
dividual How vast is this immigration
is shown by the statistics of the number
of cabin and steerage passengers landed
at the port Of New York during the last
year, in which all previous records were
surpassed. Evidently the tide OF immi-
grafton is rising steadily. But just think
of it! Over half million foreigners of
different nationalities, composed chiefly
ol the very poorest and most ignorant
people OF Europe are absorbed by TINS
country, SO easily and naturally, that
beyond the mere registration Of num-
bers, this multitude makes, for all evi-
dence to the contrary, no visible i'm
preston upon the routine OF our daily
life. The explanation Of our easy assim-
ilation Of these Heterogeneous millions is
to be found in our magnificent public
school system, which is undoubtedly the
chief agency in making the immigrants
children who are native by birth, native
also in sympathy and training.

However, "heroic treatment of cor

tered within the bounds of reason, else
public criticism and condemnation is
sure to result, as in the Athena case,
which the local board Of directors have
taken under advisement. "Heroic treat
ment'' should not mean the administra-
ton of punishment which leaves its in
flictive evidence in welts and broken
cuticle on quivering flesh. Such pun
ishment is rarely il ever given except in
cases where passion dominates, then re-
venge-not chastisement has the ap-
pearance OF being the motive.

TEACHING TIE YOUNG IDEA.

Moral suasiop, kindliness and friendly
argument has taken the place Of the old
time rod in the public school. The
pupil is led to take the right course
through generous counsel rather than as
result Of oft repeated "whalings," !" OBJ
serves the Spokesman Review. The
occasions are few nowadays when the
teacher must establish his or her right
to maintain discipline by q physical
triumph over few of the sturdiest OF
his or her charges. The greenhide has
long since passed out of use in the
more enlightened districts, and if a use
of the ferule is demanded, women teach
ers generally make it practice to turn
the offender over to some higher mascu-
line authority.
The Athena press. [volume] (Athena, Umatilla County, Or.) 18??-1942, 1903-03-20

1t must have been heroic treatment,
for Silas did not appear at school on the
following day, but it keyed the entire
school up to an immense enthusiasm in
the regular work, made the teacher the
most admired woman in the comm unity
and insured long period of good con-
duct in the schools of Pawtucket.
The Athena press. [volume] (Athena, Umatilla County, Or.) 18??-1942, 1903-03-20

At times, however, it becomes neces-
sary to regulate refractory pupils by an
application of the old time methods in
mild form. A threatened insubordina-
tion among certain young fry IN one OF
the Spokane schools is said to have
been overcome recently through the
display of prowess on an opportune oc-
casion. There was none Of the severe
harshness of our grandfathers' days, but
the methods adopted were heroic and
met with results that were highly salts
factory. An occasional resort to the
force of other days, therefore, hare a
most salutary effect, and should not al
ways be condemned.
