little for their work and have been but poorly prepared for it.
 Since teaching has come to be re- garded as a thing not to be ashamed of, as a respectable calling, men and women are choosing 1t as a life work. and are beginning to realize the ne- cessity for spending their vacations in such way as better to equip them for efficient service. The vacation school offers this opportunity. and the figures quoted show that they are taking ad- vantage of it, and In increasing num- bers. They are learning that 1t is most unwise to worK two-thirds of the year and idle away the remaining third; that what is needed for recrea- tion is not cessation of effort, but va- riety of effort; not long intervals of inactivity. but diversity of activity: and that the vacation period can be spent pleasantly. profitabIy and cheap ly at a school planned to supply their academic. professional, physical and social needs.
 Melvil Dewey, the great advocate of the summer school, writes as follows of this feature of the work: Thou sands testify after the trial that the change of surroundings and occupa- tion, the stimulus of congsnial com panions, interested in the same sub- jects, and the many provisions of our best summer schools for healthfuI recreation, are better preparation for hard work tho next year than a vaca- tion spent in likeness. In brief, it is evident that the tendency is growing among teachers to eongregate for Q few weeks during the long vacation; our problem, therefore, is how to get the most good from these meetings"

WOMEN SKIP 100000 DATE.

Mrs. Vanderbilt, Mrs. Mills and Mrs. J.
 J. Aston Avoid Friday, the 18th. New York World.
 Are fashionable women superstitious? One might jump at this conclusion on account of the way three impor- tant hostness are doding. Friday January IS, as a date for their enter tainments. It may be that the ultra fashionable set will go terrapin-less on this night, and thus it will be proved that Friday, the 18th, forms a combi- nation few societty women care to defy. This seems to be the hoodoo date and. two days ago Mrs. ogden Mills postponed the ball she had announced for January IS.
 Early in the winter when Mrs. Wander but planned to bring out her daugh- ter. Miss Gladys Vanderbilt. in society, she determined to give two dances One was for the young set on December IS, and at a formal ball later all the crowned heads" of society were to be present. A formal ball is never given until after the New Year, and Mrs. Vanderbilt chose January 13, unmindful of superstition.
 Now Mrs. ogden Mills gives her exclusive cotilron every year on the Friday following Mrs. Astor's ball. Mrs. Astor's ball is on January g, and therefore the Mills and Vanderbilt dances would clash. Mrs. Mills says she would be just as happy to give her entertainment on January Is. Both seemed eager to relinquish the date, and then Mrs John Jacob Astor step ped into the breach and, lest society go unamused one night, announced she would give her state ball on this night.
 But in the meanwhile Mrs. Ogden Mills had accepted Mrs. Vanderbilt's terms, and a plate was engraved for the Mills invitation for January 13. Then Mrs. Mills heard that Young Mrs Astor's dance was scheduled for this date, and Mrs. Mills ordered the invi- tations engraved for the first Friday in February to avoid all further clash ing of dates. Mrs. Astor, lest she of- fend the august Mrs. Mills, post poned her dance until the last week in January, and Mrs. Vanderbilt said that she would be only too glad to wait until the first week in February.
 But there is a rumor that the omis- sion of January 13, as a date for the ball was not so much a matter of mis. understanding as an unwillingness on the part of these women to fix on the ''hoodoo" date.
 Mrs. Hermann Oelrichs, who has been contemplating a vaudeville, re- fused to accept the untitled Friday, and appointed January 25, instead.

President Woodrow Wilson of Prince ton University lectured in New York the other day on The University and that throw light on modern college education. He said: You don't send a boy to college to find an education to find his relation to the life that IS around, and to become of vaSIe to the nation. The classroom Is hot vital because one man dominates-one mind Is master. I believe that the only way to learn is by trying your mind along side of some other mind and drawing conclusions. The thing is to get in the classroom the point of view. Nothing gives a youngster catholicity of view like rubbing against the man of vari- ous parts of his own country"

The conclusion reached from a study of the subject Is this: The summer school for teachdrs is to be a perma- nert institution--permane because 1t performs an important public service.
 It will be recognized by the people as a long neglected, but necessary branch of the public school system, and the 1aw-making power win come to It's as- sistancel in the matter of maintenance.

PEARY'S SEVENTH VENTURE.

Peary has departed again, for the
seventh time, to search for the north
pole If there is anything in the magic
of numbers, he ought to spot the big
stick this time and bring home pnoto-
graph of it. This does not take &C
count of the scientific fact that the
pole is not a protuberance, but rather
a depression in the earth's surface, but
things are seldom what they seem in
this world, and if we care to call a
hollow ridge or hole a pole, we are at
liberty to do it and there is nobody at
the pole to take offense at our mac
curate voca bulary.
the important thing is that Peary

The search for the north pole has
been long one, and it has never been
successful, though men have crept
nearer it's habitation year by year.
Many methods have been observed in
the search. Most explorers nave used
ships, some have tried balloons and a
few have tried the overland methods
of approach. Some have tried to make
a sudden dash and surprise the pole
mapping, but the alertness of it's de-
lenses of floating ice has ever proved
paign. The latest, and presumably the
most scientific method, is to try to
is the plan of Peary. He proposes to
go as far north as is practicable in his
ship and then travel northward with
dogs and sledges. To accomplish this
requires preparation, knowledge Of the
conditions and a seasoned crew. In
his former expeditions. Peary has ac-
quired knowledge of the conditions,
learned the best methods of travel and
what best to carry as commissary. He
has obtained the confidence of the ma
tives and will be able to utilize their
assistance. Whether, with all these
advantages, he will be able to locate
the pole, we shall not know for a long
time, as it takes from two to three
years to accomplish the task, provided
it can be accomplished at ALL
The results to be expected from
actually standing on that portion of
the earth's surface where there is no
north, east or west, are best known
to scientists. Some problems of as
tronomy may be simplified by the
achievement. What else, it is difficult
to say. The early polar expeditions
were influenced by the hope of finding
a new passage to China and India by
way of northwest Europe The COM
mercial motive has long since disap-
peared from the expeditions They are
now scientific and sentimental perhaps
as much the one as the other.

retail at a less price, and a. sale at a
less price will be treated as infringe
ment of the copyright
A large department store in New
York haying purchased a consignment
Of the books, put it's own price upon
them and was sued by the publisher.
The court held that the dealer, having
bought the books in the open market
became the sole owner and could put
what value he chose upon them. More
over, it was a violation of the Sherman
antitrust law for publishers to COM
bine to attempt to restrict the right of
purchase by dealers or to dictate the
price at which sales should be made.
This decision affected books but its
principles are strikingly applicable to
the operations of the meat trust, which
not only attempts to but does limit
the production of meat, fix the price to
retailers and pick out certain retailers
as worthy and others unworthy to be-
come it's agents.

The PIN In England.

The date of the first manufacture Of
pins in England is shrouded in uncer-
tainty, but it is automatically recorded
that as early as 1854, when money was
tight" extensive cloth workers COM
PEELED their laborers to accept in pay
ment for their work pins, girdles and
other improbable wares instead Of
money" The march Of improvement
had begun and kept on steadily until
toward the middle of the sixteenth
century pins began to win appreciation
so high that statutes were enacted pro-
tecting their manufacture, and rigid
laws were passed prohibiting the i'm
portation Of numerous minor articles,
including pins, gloves, knives, tailors'
shears, scissors and irons. Up to this
period female dress was fastened with
ribbons, laces, clasps, hooks and eyes
and skewers Of brass, silver and gold.
The latter were, in fact, pins without
heads.-London Globe.

OF through field of millet, as he did
with fho cOrroaDO0dpnf

with the correspondent.
The dragon rode across the miller,
which was under snow, until he came
to little wood Of pines. which he en-
tered at the right place, and found the
road through it. Before him on his
saddle he held the big. heavy post bag,
which kept him almost immOvable, ex-
cept that he could lower his head and
guide his horse carefully through the
branches Of the trees until the deep
dried up bed Of a river was reached.
Soon after there came into sight Chi
nese village, perched on a small height,
and across the end of the village street
was a farm house, above the black
painted door of which was a little
white flag, sign that post Of the
flying post" was stationed there. We
entered the yard. In fifteen minutes
the receipt Of the dispatches had been
duly entered. My dragon started
homeward, another dragon took the
post bag and we rode forward.
My new companion was quite as
skilled In finding his way as was his
predecessor, and l DO not think either
of them would lose his way at night
and in the worst weather. At night the
quarters Of the flying post" are made
known by lighted lantern hung above
the gate. Won Tiesenhausen told me
that he avoided sending men out at
night when possible, except in cases Of
extreme urgency. In April three dra-
goons were butchered by chunchuses.
But few people are seen on the post
road even in daytime, and often we did
not meet one person on our ride Of
four miles from post to post. At night
the Chinese peasants stay indoors and
Russian soldiers are scarcely ever to be
met Thus the service at night is most
dangerous, for it is SO easy for a chun-
chus to surprise flying post" before
the latter can defend himself.

PARTRlDGES IN CAPTIVITY.


Success Of Professor Hodges Expert.
ments In Massachusetts.
DR.. Clifton F. Hodge, professor Of BIZ
ology at Clark university in Worces-
ter, Mass, is having remarkable sue
cess in his efforts toward domesticat-
ing the ruffed grouse or partridge, says
the Boston Transcript. The latest
achievement is the raising of a second
generation Of the birds while they are
in captivity, five strong, healthy birds
having been Matched two weeks ago
by the mother partridge.
More could scarcely be desired than
to have pair mate and produce their
young in the back yard Of city home.
So far as is known the birds have
acted exactly the same as their broth
ers in the woods even to the curious
act Of drumming. They are just as
large as those in the woods, and are
lively and contented. One Of the old
male birds seems to be especially de-
lighted when DR.. Hodge enters the In
closure In which they are kept and
plays with the bird as one would with
his pet cat. In no other case, so far
as is known, has this species been any
where near so perfectly domesticated.
DR.. Hodge began these experiments
in the spring of 1903, when he obtained
some partridge eggs from the woods
and Matched them out under bantam
hen. At the time he was laughed at
for trying it, but after the chicks were
Matched out and 1t was seen that they
were being raised a member Of the
Massachusetts Fish and Game Protec-
tive association, who resides in Worces-
ter, Mass, reported the affair to a
meeting Of the directors, which then
voted $500 to be given to DR.. Hodge
in aid Of his experiments.
He is using it in charging his In
closures with view to aiding such
work as the association Is doing, espe-
cially by eventually setting the birds
free in the covers Of the state Of Mas
sachusetts, and perhaps in our city
parks. DR.. Hodges purpose in the ex-
periments, so far as his own work Is
concerned. Is more especially to study
scientifically the biological relations OF
the species-its foods, habits and In
stincts and the possibilities of its do
mestication.
