HUNTING THE DANGEROUS SNORDFISH

John was noted among his mates
for his eyesight The skipper could
tell you of incredible distances at
which John could see a fin, and even
pick out a swordfish's from a shark 8.
There is a difference, of course. A
sharks fin is largely triangular, and
his tail is always moving There is a
graceful wave to a sharks tail when
he is cruising. A swordfish's fin is
also three-cornered, but the edges of
it are curved, and the tail as it slips
through the water is almost without
motion. When there was a slight
breeze and the seas surface was bro
ken into a million little wavelets,
everyone looking like a fin, that was
when John performed miracles to the
masthead.
On the afternoon of that morning
which saw us among the fleet we
sighted fish. A cry came from aloft,
The skipper stood up and unslipped
his long pole. Normans back stiff
ened on the wheel-box Bill came out
of his trance, looked aloft, and shifted
his gaze to leeward The bright, bald
head of the cook shone up the fore
castle-hatch, and then up came him
self, smoking TRANQUILITY. He cast a
peek aloft, said Fish-h- and stepped
on to the deck.
Fair abeam to lOoard!" John
called, and Norman, with eyes on the
compass, put the wheel up. The pas
senger was looking hard, but as yet
could see nothing nothing but the
corners of million little wavelets
which might have been fish, but
which he knew were not The skip
per, erect now, was balancing his
pole but without looking at it. His
eyes were for fish only.
Hard up!" came Johns voice, and
we all could see it swooping through
the water, the curved fin and the tail
moving steadily after it, and, judging
by the distance between tail and fin,
fair-sized fellow. Our bow was
swinging into line with him. Nor
man, at the wheel, could see nothing.
STEADY" called John. The swordfsh
was yet some distance ahead.
The skipper was swaying from the
waist. A big-boned, rangy man the
skipper, more than six feet high and

wide-shouldered, with a good reach
and muscular back. He hefted his
pole-a week now since he had ironed
swordfish-and looking back to see
that all was clear behind. From his
iron fifty fathoms of line ran back
to a tub in the waist of the vessel
To the end of that line was a black
and-white painted buoy. Looking after
line and buoy was the cooks bust
ness; and now the cook, interpreting
the shippers look, sang out 'All
clear!" and slowing his pipe in his
stern pocket, stood by the tub.
We were within half the vessels
i length of our fish when he disap-
peared "Port!" called John, and port
it was promptly. "Steady-ste-a-dy-
Lard, man, steady" We could not
see the fish from the deck but they
from the masthead could follow his
course under water.
The fin and tail showed again. We
were headed for him, or rather head
ed to intercept him on his course. The
skipper swayed forward and back, by
way of loosening up his waist and
back muscles.
We were almost on the prize now
He was cruising lazily. The shippers
right arm and shoulder were drawn
back. On deck we were anticipating
the stroke, but fin and tail took a sud
den shoot. "Luff! luff!" yelled John.
The vessel shot up, the skipper leaned
far over the pulpit-rail. We, watch
ing him, thought he was waiting, too
long; but looking at the surface Of
the water, we saw that fin and tail
were in action again, the body Just
under the water From the bow-rail
we could now follow the blue-black
shadow, and the shadow had turned
suddenly and jumped ahead; and sud
denly again he was shooting diagun-
ally across our bow And while still
wondering if the skipper would get
him, after all, the passenger saw the
tall man rise on his toes-and he
looked nine feet all with that long
right arm raised above and behind
his head-and then. whing!-a semi
circular sweep of the arm, a back

sorbed by the bureau, and during the
hundred thousand trees were planted
by the school children. The aesthetic
and economic benefits accruing to the
people of the islands as a result OF
the tree planting of a single year can
not be easily estimated
The Postal Savings Banks were pat
ronized by 1928 Filipino teachers and
pupils, with 1913 5S5 deposited
Some of the results of the industrial
instruction as carried on in the schools
of the islands are mentioned by the
director; schoolboys in a hundred
towns of the Philippines are wearing
hats made by themselves; the hat eX-
ports from the islands increased from
621,475 in 1910 to 1,O25, 500 in 1911;
many girls weave the cloth and make
the clothing which they wear in
school, more than half of the desks
and tables in the primary schools or
one province were able to deliver 1000
salable baskets on months notice;
in one town the baskets used to con-
tain the oranges for export were pur
chased from other towns, now they
are made at home as a result of the
trade having been taught in the
schools; one school has introduced
and developed the slipper-making in
dustry and last year sold $4,000 worth;
in one province over thousand gar
dens were cultivated.
These cases illustrate the sort Of
thing that is being accomplished, in
the industrial classes of the public
schools. The director believes that
the highest results of the industrial
instruction are those which have to do
with the moulding of the character
and life purposes of the pupils con-
cerned.

A FEW "WHYs."

Why does the young man pillow his
way through the deep snow?"
why does he jump fences?"
why does he seize the bucksaw
and saw halfcord of wood?"
"Why does he love to clean a thou
sand feet of sidewalk after a biz
zard?"
why does he run a mile or more
and back?"
why does he pick up grindstones
and hurl them about?"
why does he encourage the youth
of the land to peg at him with brick
bats?"
why does he turn from the foamy
mug and say it's water for him?'

GENUINE UPLIFT
MANIFESTED IN
YOUNG FILIPINOS

WASHINGTON February 16.-Even
our Filipino brother, with his weather
ed-oak complexion, has better facilities
in his pursuit of knowledge and athle-
tic prowess than our own country boy.
He receives his education in well
ventilated fine, concrete building,
while the country youth of the United
States tries to figure why Washington
crossed the Delaware as he bends over
a knife-nicked desk in a wooden shack
open at the seams and unfortunately
heated by pot bellied stove that
leaves him well Drowned on one side
and frostbitten on the other. Though
this comparison is not made in the
eleventh annual report of the Director
Of Education of the Philippine Islands
for the school year of 191O,1911, now
in the hands of the Bureau of Insular
Affairs. it is obvious. This report is
the eleventh since the islands passed
under American control and direction
Cto,4s3 Pupils.
During the school year of 190919lO
the annual enrolment was 5S7,317. Last
year it reached 610,493.
There are now in operation 44O4
schools, and when the schools closed
for the summer last year the number
of American and Filipino teachers EN-
ployed was 9,OS6. The Philippine
Government spent for public education
during the last fiscal year the sum
of 1928, SS327.
The Bureau of Education has pro.
vided plans for school buildings
which are hygienic and attractive in
appearance, affording ample class
room space to meet the needs of the
schools, and at a cost with which the
available funds can keep pase. The
buildings are so constructed that,
when it becomes necessary, they can
hear additions without marring their
beauty or detracting from their use
fulness. The structures are of rein
forced concrete combined with good
construction timber and have from
one to ten rooms each. There are now
in course of construction nearly three
hundred such buildings.
The pupils are taking to the Ameri-
can game of baseball like cannibals
to fat man. Basketball, volley ball
and track and field events are also
favorites in the school and community
life, but baseball stands out in the
calcium glare of enthusiasm, and for
it, devotees of the cockpit are forsak-
ing that so-called pastime. Naturally
| the popularity of clean forms of di-
version is developing new standards
among the islanders, instilling new
and higher principles and building
character most substantially. The Flo
pinos are rapidly learning the lesson
of the benefits of healthy competition.

The concert Given BY the Young Or.
aanlzation and the GIee Clubs
at tho Congregational
chprch.
VI DISAPPOINTMENT
a Distinct Success OF Which Prof.
Hayden, the Orchestra and
Glee Clubs May be
Proud.

The concert given by the high school
orchestra and glee clubs in tho Con-
eregational church Friday evening was
largely attended by an audience whose
Measure was evidenced by much APP
nlause. 1t was the first concert ever
given by the combined clubs, and for
a good reason. A year ago the high
school orchestra was not in existence.
That such really creditable organ
ization has been created In such a
short time was surprise to the most
sanguine, and speaks of earnest effort
nm the part of both it's members and
their director Prof. p, C. Hayden. The
orchestra is composed OF four first
violins. six second violins, clarinet,
cornet, piano. and was assisted in last
nights concert by cello, viola and
drums.
There was but one disappointment
IN the whole program. Mrs. Arvilla
Erdman Cooper, who was to have play
ed the first movement Of the Rubin
stein Concerto in F minor with organ
and orchestra, was unable to do SO, on
account OF a sprained wrist, and the
audience had to forego what promis-
ed to be the best number of the pro-
gram. The orchestra had devoted
much time to this number and 1t
must have been as distinct a disap-
pointment to its members. as 1t was
to the audience. The "Miserere''
which was substituted served as a
popular introduction, and was follow
ed by Verbs Anvil Chorus by glee
club and orchestra, one OF the best
rendered and best appreciated mum
hers of the evening
The Girls Glee Club sang two selec-
ticns, winning well deserved encore
after the ever popular Barcarolli OF
