quately educated to be proficient teach
ers.
The Sunday schools" he says, ARE
certainly well worth while even with
these nonprofessional and moderately
equipped teachers. who, notwithstand-
ing their limitations, are doing a great
and vital work for the children. If
the importation of knowledge were
the main purpose of the school they
could not succeed so well, but the real
purpose is the development of charac-
ter. the building up of high ideals, the
instilling of principles of true living.
the cultivating of right feelings and
motives. the development OF a sound
conscien"" a clear insight and a capa-
BILE judgl-~lt."
Mr.. Votaw explains how children OBJ
tain false impressions concerning their
religion and cannot have these wrong
ideas shaken all through life He be-
lieves that the Sunday school should
be school of religion and morality,
where the love of God, faith, reverence
obedience. prayer. worship and JOY
should be taught in all its varied
forms. 1t should be a school of real
life, so as to distinguish the good and
the bad and eventually make the boy
or girl useful and good.

Davenport of his recreation. which.

Your honor should also take into
consideration the fac. that Mr.. Dayen-
port owes some $4,000. which he is
paying off at the rate of 500 a week.
and that he needs 5000 year for his

he could not work.

Portions of Bible Unsuitable
For Children, Professor Saws

Chicago, Sept. 2.-"The Bible was
written for grown people by grown
people. Some portions are unsuitable
other portions are unintelligible, to
the child or youth. A few parts can
be used, but whole books and sections
of the bible, as we'll as paragraphs and
verses, have so little relation to pres
ent day life that they serve no purpose
for the education of the youth
This is statement by Clyde Weber
Votaw of the University of Chicago in
an article in the Biblical World for
which appeared yesterday.
"The United States.' says Mr.. Vo-
taw," contains 100000 children of
school age. There are 10000 Sun
day schools in the country enrolling
13,5OO,OU members. The Sunday
school must for years carry the chief
responsibility, next to the home of CIV
ing the children appropriate and ade-
quate moral instruction and training
along with their religious education"
Mr.. Votaw then explains the four
processes used in the Sun
day schools, religion, theology. the BIZ
BILE and ethics. and tells how they are
combined by teachers who are made

And SO when the wife of Cook re-
ceived the message Successful it
must have been an Overlooking sense
OF relief as well as of pride that the
riddle Of the North was solved and
the man who had achieved was the
man who was "Farthest North"
Just now there is no authentic re-
port of the expedition but it is in the
prestige rather than in any new and
startling discovery that the result is
most probably to be Judged by. 1t will
be what is not found rather than
what is found at the Pole winch will
be most apparent. For the time was
when the whole world fondly hoped
that there was treasure or fissure
in the earth which led into the Fields
Of Elysium at 90 n Lat.

Have you followed the ways of vaca-

Have you sat meath the drip Of the

In the shed they describe as a station,
Awaiting the next local train?
Have you sped where the cinders,
swift-flying,
Would ruthlessly sting and smart;
Have you bumped DER bad roadways

To balance yourself in cart?
Have you slept in a ballroom so mar

That at night when you went to
your rest
You'd have to lie straight as an arrow
And stand on one foot while you
dressed?
Have you met the young woman who

Or the bounder who hangs round

Or the infant who constantly whimp-

Have you followed the ways of vaca-
And aren't you glad to get home?

some of the alleys is thrown out with

BILE condition. 1t has been suggested
time and again that the rubbish be
thrown in heavy cans or barrels and
that lids should be kept on to prevent
the contents from splitting out, in case
they tipped over. But the suggestion,
was apparently not needed, as the con-
dition of the alleys well indicates, it is
said. Waste paper has also been scat

blow into the streets. frightening
horses and presenting a very unsightly
appearance. It is asserted that un-
less more care is exercised in regard
to the matter, prosecutions are very
likely to follow.

FARTHEST NORTH

There seems to be no doubt that
Cook has achieved the impossible. 1t
should be source of congratulation
to Americans that the honor belongs
to them. Beginning with Sir Hugh
Willoughby in 1853 and continuing
through the years since. there has
been path of death marked with the
bodies Of those who have dedicated
themselves to the Icy North. One
compiler puts the number of lives lost
in arctic expeditions to the north at
1853. Before our time-Sir Martin
Frobisher, Henry Hudson, Baffin, Ber-
ing, Franklin and many others had
blazed the way which Nansen, Peary
and the Ill fated Andree followed.
There is something remarkable in
the fearlessness which has been dis
played in this long line OF exploits.
Not one of these men but knew that it
was more than probable that he would
never see his home again. No one
can read the tale of any of the ex-
plorers whether 1t be Franklin or Nan
sen or the belong expedition in the
doomed Janeatte without feeling of
sadness or romantic interest
Today Shackleton in the south III
miles from the pole and Cook in the
north v/eh apparently an almost per-
feet score head the list. 1t is then
we all wonder at the hardihood which
has induced the men to 60 for scien-
tific purposes. and q love of adven-
ture. For there is nothing in the
later explorers motive which led the
earlier ones. They were seeking for
3 short cut to the Isles of the East
Indies and though they braved the un-
known seas it was in the hope of find
ing gold under the ends of the phan-
tom rainbow.

Great Scene at Betheny.

From the New York Mail.
With the air above the plain OF
Bethany full of flying machines; with
one aeroplane making flight at one
ascent Of 102 miles, another Of SO
miles, another of Y miles, and so on;
with one aviator flying in single day,
in three successive flights, a distance
of 30 miles; with the machines cross
ing and saluting one another, and sue
cessfully breasting windstorms-it is
evident that the problem of air flight
has been solved, and that we are on
the threshold Of still more startling
aerial triumphs.

Mexico's disaster makes an appeal

The story Of the disaster is one to

Americans will respond quickly to the
relief of their neighbors across the

Upon the horrors Of the flood follow
sickness. lack Of water and food and
general restitution and misery. Cen
