Stewart Edward White at His Desk.

It is the story of a great man-hunt
and tells of two Hudson Bay company
agents who set out on the trail of a
dishonest Indian trapper. The chase
leads them into the wilderness beyond
the Arctic circle, and they grimly
keep up their pursuit through the
snow. until both pursuers and fugitive
are all but dead of cold and starva-
ton. The love of an Indian girl for
one of the white men furnishes a
unique and pathetic strain in the
story.

HIGH SCHOOL PLAY A SUCCESS.
Topeka Students Do Very Well in
Amateur Theatricals.

If a large audience is mark of sue
cess, 1.-THE Schoolna' am as given by
the members OF the graduating class at
the high school last night. was a de-
cided success. Every seat in the big as
sembly hall was occupied and there
was need for an s. r. o." sign early
in the evening.
Since the time when the memory of
man runneth not to the contrary it has
been the custom at the high school for
the outgoing class to give some sort Of
theatrical entertainment as a. means of
securing sufficient funds to purchase
something in the way of interior decor
atoms for the school Some of these
plays have been rare" some well
DONE" and the rest only medium" but
it is doubtful if any of them apprOa CHI
ed the standard which was established
last night. Considering the ineXperi-
ence of the members OF the cast they
furnished a better entertainment than
some who call themselves profession
ais.
In some respects THE Schoolma' am
is similar to The District School. 8"
which was given at Washburn college
last winter. 1t chronicles the trials
which a young school teacher has with
her first school. and deals with jeal-

Master of the House.

A tale is told Of a family consist
ing of two members, middle aged,
understood man and his strapping,
belligerent wife, woman whose
temper was worse than uncertain.
One evening just at dusk the
neighbors were startled by hearing
shrieks, thumps and other unaccus-
toned noises issuing from the house,
and, supposing that the place had
been entered by burglars, several
persons went in at the open door
and proceeded to investigate.
The sounds came from an upper
room. Rushing upstairs, the in
truders flung open a door, to discov-
er the stalwart lady Of the house
brandishing a rolling pin, while her
unfortunate other half, huddled
against the wall under the bed, was
piping in quavering voice:
81 will be master in my own
house! / will be master in my own
housel"

Some Comments on the Query "Does .
College Education Pay"
Young people often ask US, "Wlll
it pay TO 60 to college if one is going
to be a merchant, a druggist, a
farmer, etc. ?"
Whether or not a liberal educa-
ton pays depends upon the ambi-
ton of the inquirer. Do you want
to be just as much of man as pos
sible, or do you want merely to get
as much money as you caH
If your ambition is simply to see
how many goods you can sell and
how mitch money you can rake to-
gether; if you have no desire to
reach out into the broad fields, to
be known as man who amounts to
something in the world, who carries
weight in his community; if you
have no ambition to be man of
broad, liberal, progressive ideals; If
you do not wish to know anything
about your goods before they reach
your store, where they are made or
the conditions of the people who
manufacture them and have no de-
sire to better their conditions; If
YOU have no ambition to make the
world little better than you found
it, then a college education wilt
probably not do you much good. Il
it is simply going to increase your
capacity to grasp, seize and hold
material things, to get little more
away from others by your long
headed methods; if it is only going
to increase your shrewdness, your
ability to scheme ways and mean*
of piling up more dollars, then | dc

broadly educated men that have en-
larged and improved the spheres
into which they have entered. As

brains with the soil, who have de-

superior knowledge.-Success.

The address of A. B. Clark, OF
Bellingham, before the joint in
stitute of Whatcom and San
Juan teachers was full of good
things that pupils and parents,
as we'll as teachers, would do
well to heed. Dwelling upon
the Importance of industry and
urging teachers to teach the
value of time, he said:
"If all the wasted time were
to be paid for at the rate of ten
cents an hour there would not
be money enough in the uni.
verse to meet the first pay day."
For the benefit of young men
especially he very truly said:
"The stamp of unftness, of un-
reliability, placed upon ayoung
man is worse than the brand OF
Cain and is the one thing i'm.
pervious to the ravages of time. /"

Agriculture in Public Schools

We find in the columns of an eX-
change that the subject of teaching
agriculture in the public schools, so
grandly inaugurated in Missouri a
few years ago, is still kept at the
front. The movement began fifteen
years ago by the state superintend-
ent of public instruction visiting
teachers meetings and oranges urg-
ING the introduction of these studies
into public schools. For five years
the Missouri school law has recog-
nized it as a part of the course Of
study by requiring applicants for a
state certificate to be examined in a
group of agricultural subjects. For
four years the State Normal schools
have had departments of agriculture
and nature study. In order to es-
tablish this policy in any state there
must be vigorous and persistent adj
vocacy of it by the officials of agri-
cultural organiza tons and the school
officers. No reform in any direction
ever came except as result of
earnest effort on the part of people
connected with the affairs which it
was expected to improve. With
that effort the introduction of ele-
mentary agricultural studies can be
secured in the schools of any state.
This will eventually come, but the
right kind of effort will hasten it.

THE GOTHENDURG SYSTEM

The Gothenburg system or
state control Of the liquor traffic
was the subject of lecture de-
livered recently in Montreal, by
Prof. r. E. Macnaughten, before
the Economic and Statistical So
ciety. The Bellingham Revellle
commenting on the lecture notes
that the proposed remedies for
the evils of hard drinking were
divided into two classes-the
first, prohibition; the second
the Gothenburg system. High
licensing, local option and SINH
lar plans belonged to the first
class, and the Public House
Trust system in England to the
second. Prohibition appeared
to have the merit Of simplicity,
but it has been weighed in the
balance and found wanting. Pro-
hibition in fact did not prohibit,
at least in the towns. In the
country it was partial success.
The other class of remedies was
represented by the Gothenburg
system, and the Importance of
this system lay in the principle,
not in the details. The real prin-
ciple of the Gothenburg system
was the elimination Of private
profit, combined with a scientific
recognition of the fact that all
distilled liquor be properly rec
titled before being sold for con-
sumption. The manager was
given a commission on the food
and non-intoxicants that he sold
and none on the alcoholic liqu-
ors. The advantage of the system
was that it recognized the exist
ence of the laws of commerce
and utilized it in the interest
of public morality. In the case
of a public house under present
conditions the moment man
went into it it was the interest
Of the proprietor, manager or
bartender to endeavor to sell
him as much liquor as he could
be induced to take. But under
the Gothenburg system the
manager said to himself, "Here
is a man who wants a glass of
beer. | do not want to sell him
that because I will make no
profit on it. | want to sell him
tea and food because Of the COM
mission on it," Where the sys-
tenn has had a fair trial the re-
suits are said to have been very
satisfactory.
