HOPE OF GREEKS CENTERS
IN LLBERATOR OF CRETE

where his son Kyriakos became lead
ing merchant. On account Of his patri-
otis.n, the Ottoman authorities banfshed
him from the island, confiscating his
property, and 1t was owing to this that
his son Eleutherios was educated in
Greece, graduating from The University
of Athens. -..
Returning to crete, he in course of time
became one of the chiefs of the insur-
rection against the Turks. and when. in
1888, Prince George Of Greece was ap-
pointed by the foreign powers high COM
missioner of Crete, under the suzerainty
OF the Sultan, he was quite naturally
made minister of justice.
Failed in His Mission.
In 1900 Prince George visited the CAPT.
tails OF Europe for the purpose of Undue
ing the powers to consent to the eman-
cipation of Crete from Turkey and for
the union of the island to Greece. After
the return of the prince. Venezelos as
certained that George, instead Of urging
the powers to consent to the union. had
devoted his efforts to obtaining their
sanction to the independence of Crete,
with himself as sovereign. Venezelos
protested against this breach of faith.
and In consequence was dismissed from
Office. Eventually Venezelos carried the
day. Prince George was obliged to re-
tire from the governor generalship.
Thanks largely to the efforts of Vene-
zelos. the nomination of the high COM
missioner was surrendered by the powers
to the ruler of Greece. who appointed his
former premier, Alexander Zaimis, to the
post Venezelos declined to become one
for his ministers. taking the ground that
by avoiding Office he would be more ad-
vantageously situated as leader of a ma
jority in the Cretan legislature to pursue
his object, namely, the union of the
island to Greece.
In 1905 the Cretan chamber of deputies
by an almost unanious vote enacted the
union of the island to Greece. This was
just about the time of the coup d'etat
throw of the Hamidian regime. and while
the high commissioner, Zaimis. refrained
from giving his sanction to the measure,
and King George. in Difference to pres
sure from London. Paris. Berlin Vienna,
St. Petersburg, and Rome, declared HIM
self unable to take coEnizance at that
time of the act of union or to accept the
sovereignty of the island. and the military
and naval representatives of the great
powers removed the Greek flag which
had been hoisted on the public buildings.
They could not. however. prevent the
public officials throughout the land from
taking oaths of allegiance to King George
instead of to the Sultan, and although

rain, and the island continues to be theo-

and Sescorted by a delegation of Greek
statesman, who Had come to Canada to
fetch him on board . specially chartered
steamer, sailed for Athens.
In obedience to public sentiment King
George called upon him to form a cabi-
net. Venezelos accepted the task. but
finding that the assembly contained too
many members Of those political parties,
to admit of his carrying out Of his pro-
gram, he took the bold course of another
appeal to the nation. with the result
that his personal nominees. or people
pledged to his support. occupied eight
tenths of the 3s2 seats in the Greek Ma.
tional Assembly.
OF Unimpeachable Integrity.
Venezelos is a man of unimpeachable
integrity. and holiness Of principle. whose
unselfishness i is acknowledged. even by
his foes. and who under the atietest and
most reserved. even gentle manner. con-
ceals an iron will. The Greeks are the
most suspicious people in the world.
They have cause for being 80, after
all that they had suffered at the hands
of their public men. But they believe
in Venezelos. The King. too, believes in
him, and is willing TO forget that Vene-
Zelos robbed his son George of the luc-
rative governor generalship of Crete.
Even Turkey, which at first saw In
Venezelos a Cretan insurgent, Is salts

able to the execution Of his programme of
reforms, lie is certain to hold his follow
ers in Crete in check; at any rate for
the present.

Eluetherios venezelos is man whose
names are not familiar on this SIDE Oh
the Atlantic. Yet they have long been
known by the statesmen Of those powers
who are at such pains to preserve the
peace of Europe, and to avert that inter
national confiagration which, considered
as bound to break out sooner or later,
will throw back for q hundred years or
more the developments of economic pros
perity, Of intellectual progress, and OF
civilization. For a decade Venezelos was
something in the nature Of nightmare
to the concert of Europe. He was at
the head of the movement in Crete for
the union of that island to Greece. Tur-
key has lost SO much territory during the
last half century that no government at
STEAMBOAT, either old Turk or young Turk.
can afford to affront Moslem sentiment
b. any further sacrifices Of provinces or
dependencies to a Christian state with
out facing the certainty of revolution
and overthrow.
By those very statesmen. who for
years past lavished every species of abuse
upon Venezelos, denouncing him as
firebrand and dangerous. he is to-day laud-
cd to the skies as the one who alone
possesses the cleverness, and above all the
authority, to put an end to the intolerable
imbroglio in connection with Greece,
Crete, and Turkey, to satisfy the people
of that island, to establish friendly rela-
tons between King George and the Sui
tan, and to evolve order out of political
and administrative chaos at Athens. The
rise of Nenezelos to power in Greece is
nothing short of a political romance, and
brief sketch of its hero. therefore, may
be of interest.
Has IIIustrious Ancestry.
Eleutherios VeneZelos comes of ancient
stock. and can show more illustrious
line of ancestry than any other public
man in Greece to-day. The English
traveller Wheeler. who was at Athens in
1916, mentioned the Nenezeloi among the
five chief families of the city, from each
of which We're chosen the epitropi or
magistrates. who were appointed by the
Porte to settle disputes arising among
the Christians.
He traces his descent from the Accia-
juoi, the F'lorentine dukes of Athens of
the fourteenth century, and Santa
Philothea, the patron saint of modern
Athens, who was beaten to death by the
Turks in 1853, and who is entombed in the
cathedral of the metropolis. was daugh-
ter of Angeles Nenezelos. The grand
father of the premier settled in Crete.

Team Work
~ DRLS.kJRTLEy

identified as the gang period. Here.
again, his attachments are more or
less impersonal, though restricted to
the gang. The social nature Is unfold
ing in new ways and they do new
things, new even to their forgetful IA
theirs, who wonder why boys are
such strange creatures, and declare
they were never like them.
In this period of team work, they
get together by neighborhoods, as
rule, under the direction of some boy
who is natural leader and assumes
all the functions of. leader without
appointment and without hesitation.
There is no rotation In Office and,
when the chief goes, the gang is al
ready gone; it has reached its natural
term and expires by limitation and
the boys have no more use for it than
for their fathers old clothes. This
team work is in original activities,
original to them but not to the rest
of mankind, present or past, for that
is what the race has been doing all
its life. 1t is fellowship in frolic and
fun, adventures by land and water,
swimming and skating and hunting
and fishing, provided the fish bite
fast enough; games of all kinds, with
no Discrimination for rough ones.
The fourth stage of his team work
is that later chum period, when the
gang breaks up and they come out OF
it, as the animals came out Of the
ark, two by two. He ties up with
some special boy and likes him better
than any other boy that ever lived,
and they are apt to be friends all the
rest Of their lives. He will like play,
but it is different now. This is the
pairing age. He and his shum will
have many things to talk about, but
the two paramount topics will be
their future careers and their girls"
as they always call them.
The fifth stage of his boyhood team
work Is wren he has great inclina-
ton TO form an intimate attachment
with some fairy creature whom he
considers the most angelic being on
earth. His sentiments about girls
have changed. Something new has
walked up in his soul. He can talk
with his chum about it, but with no
one else. They are just alike on that
subject and know how to be confiden-
tial. A great day has dawned upon
him. Imagination is at new tasks.
The rational and deliberative facul.
ties are In the field. Sentiment hangs
haloes over the outlying future. Each
stage Of his friendship has added
something to him and now this one
seems to put some finishing touches
to his rapidly crystalizing character.
His team work has been success.
He Is ready for q new life.

Mamma, | wish / was two little
puppies. so 1 could play together"
When little Joe said that, he revealed
two of the strongest characteristics
of boyhood, Unsuitable fondness for
play and companionship. But with
him. play was first of all; companion
ship was to promote play. That was
in the early stages of Joe's life. BY
and by, it will be just the reverse. He
likes children, especially boys;
shrinks from being alone, likes team
work, from the very start. But there
are about i've stages in the develop
ment of his social relationships, du-
ring his boyhood; then several, du-
ring the remainder of his life, but
We are not, at this moment, concerned
with tracing him beyond the bound
airy of boyhood.
First is the indiscrimina$e and i'm
personal stage, when he scarcely asks
who his companions are, requiring
only that they be boys and plenty OF
them, the more the better To be
sure, he has his preferences, but he
has not yet specialized, in decisive
and final way. Their work is play, ex-
clusively, not original, but initiative.
During that period, he is apt to be
carried by his strong team sentiment
over into the realm of the opposite
sex and fall furiously in love with
some little girl. In fact, he usually
does so, each season, or each session
IF cchnnl hA iy,b he live
without her. This Is about the only
thing in his boyhood that he cannot
turn into play Whenever he forms
a special attachment for a boy, the
friendship is like soda pop, comes
with phiz and bang and they must
make the most of 1t while It lasts.
The two use the same slang, the same
yell, the same tones of voice, the
same games and, seemingly, the same
personality, the same chewing gum;
and, when they have a quarrel and
make up, the one who was to blame
usually treats. They acquire stock
of common possessions and, when
their spell is over they are apt to
scrap for the possession Of it. This
period seems provisional and tenn
porary.
The next stage comes when he is
about ten or twelve years old and it
sometimes has the element Of perma-
nency in it. What has already been
said applies partly to this more per
sonal phase Of his team work. He
and his chum may become chums for
life, and they almost surely will, If
they are living in the same COM
munity when they enter the next
stage.
The third period begins when he is
twelve or thirteen. That has been

The Boy at Home

prig. an overfed pet; nor a pig, over
fed pork; nor despot, an over-in-
dulged dependent. He is not the GEN.
ter about which the family revolves
nor despot adapting 1t to his
caprices. When a boy rules the
home he ruins himself. He is to be
adjusted to the family life and not the
reverse. He may be born ruler, but
is to be under regents till he comes
into his own inheritance and thereby
learns how to rule.
But, in that subordination, he is en-
titled to find respect for his person
atty, his talents, his individual tastes,
his elemental and God-given right of
choice, on the proper exercise of which
his efficiency in life depends. Even
from the start, his will must not be
over ridden, but stimulated and
steered. If there is a clash between
his will and that of the household
head, all that the latter can do is to
set forth the penalty of the wrong
choice, let him have all the facts of
the case before him In the decision,
let him know that the penalties cannot
be escaped. The plans for him must
be positive, constructive, optimistic,
sympathetic; not negative nor destruc-
tive nor gloomy nor autocratic. Those
plans are adapted to him and adapt
him to the home people. He and his
pa can do team work, as he assists
with manual or mental or mechanical
labor-with typewriter or at bookkeep-
ing or garden making or farming. And
yet, often must obedience be exacted
Of him, without explanation or option,
and he must know what that authority
means. Ordinarily, when his sense of
partnership with his parents has been
intelligently and practically murtured,
he gets discipline and delight, ef-
ficiency and satisfaction, out of II. It
is a whole university in embryo, with
technology thrown in. Even the care
OF pets is Of great Importance in teach
Ing him gentleness and unselfishness
and sense Of responsibility. They
make use Of the whole boy In that
way. His Imagination comes to the
aid OF the family. To call a boy good
for nothing and lazy, just because he
dreams, is a degradation of the one
who says It. To accuse him of doing
wrong is to suggest to his imagination
that form of wrong doing.
He must be trusted and have the
exhilarating sense Of it. as they trust
ed the boys at Rugby. He must find
in the spirit of the home makers the
spirit into which he will grow, more
and more. He must find knowledge Of
delicate things in way that will not
excite unwholesome curiosity. He
must be filed with admiring love for
the home makers and take his place
by their side in love for the Father OF
them all.

Old Map of South America.

Claude Vautin, an English mining
engineer, who has been prospecting in
Peru, returned the other day on the
steamship Zacana- Besides looking
after mining property, he has been
collecting interesting antiquities of
the country.
One Of the most interesting things
he brings back with him is map Of
South America made by the Jesuits in
1892. 1t gives an outline of the land
as far north as Cuba and is apparent
ly accurate. Its purpose is evidently
plain, for every mission station in
the country at that time is indicated
on the map, and the line Of travel
necessary to reach them is marked
out. This map was obtained by Mr..
Vautin at Puno, Peru.
Another interesting collection he
brought back is the death masks Of
the Incas. They were hammered out
of metal and placed over the faces
of the dead. Three of these obtained
by Mr.. Vautin are of sheet gold.

In the midst of his greatest excite
ments and enjoyments there ought to
be steady and perceptible pull at his
and there will be, unless there is some
thing very much the matter with him
or the home; and II the trouble Is
with him it probably began with the
home. There was a welcome for him
when he first took his place as a mem
Der of that family. That welcome
must await him whenever he returns
from work or play or school. II his
arrival is greeted with complaints and
nagging about what he has and has
not done, he will make his arrival as
late and his departure as early as
possible; and he will take his perma-
nent departure as speedily as his cir
cumstance will permit.
He is a distinct part of the house
hold and is entitled to a definite place
where he can be monarch of all he
surveys. He has as much right to q
tastes, as his sister, even more SO,
for she has certain other home ties
through which she may be satisfied
and trained. His individuality re-
quires an individual room and his So
cial life needs place where he can
bring his friends; and his talents may
be encouraged to decorate 1t. His
stored up energies demand exercise
and not every room in the house Is
suited to 1t. It Is mighty comforting
to him to know that there is one room
where he is at home with himself.
He is also entitled to position in
the household as well as to place in
tho house and his standing must be in
their understanding. II he gets the
right standing he is willing to do lot
of running, for the benefit Of the fam
fly. It Is not enough to say that he
must work because some one else is
the bread winner and he ought to be
willing to do something. Another mo
tive must be touched, that he is a
part of the household and what he can
do is of the highest value in itself.
And so 1t is. Manual labor has men,
tai and moral value; and when special
talents are utilized 1t gives special
training for his LIE work. And when
they are used in the equipment of the
home, he derives special reward
from It. Drawing, the graphic arts, mu.
sic, modelling, writing. reading aloud,
reciting-these may have productive
place in his home life. He has to be
allowed to be his own self and do
what he can do.
That standing is not at the center
nor is 1t sitting on the throne, but by
the side or under the wing Of the head
of the home. He is a boy, but only a
boy. He holds the future, but must be
held, at present He is not to be q
