Source Of the Brahmaputra.

For 40 years the birthplace Of the
great Brahmaputra river Of India was
thought to be among the high valleys
of the eastern Himalayas or on the
Plateau Of Tibet north of those noun
tains. The theory could not be
proved, for hostile Abors in the Hima-
layan valleys killed the explorers or
barred their way when they sought to
solve the mystery.
1t was believed 20 years ago that
the Sangpo river, flowing far eastward
through southern Tibet, was the upper
part of the Brahmaputra. Marked
logs set afloat in the Sangpop were
watched for in the Brahmaputra, but
were never found. At last, however,
the explorers sent out with the troops
who have punished the Abhors for
their massacre Of Williamson and his
200 carriers have shown that the two
rivers are identical. The Brahmapu-
ira rises far west near the headwa-
ters Of the Indus, among the noun
tains bordering southern Tibet.

BOY SCOUTS ENJOYED A
NIGHT IN THE WOODS.

1NlOhl LIN w
Sixteen members of the Pleasant
vile Boy Scouts, under command Of
Scout Master Clarence Davis, and ac-
companied by J. Norman Shinn, Sec
retary of the Local Council, are telling
of the fine time they had sleeping out
in the open last Friday night at Stony
Creek. <
They started from town at five o.
clock in the afternoon, carrying their
blankets and "eats", and by fast walk
ing for an hour without Stacking up,
reached Stony Creek, nearly four
miles away The moment they arriv-
ed they were busy with their hatch
cts getting wood ready for their
Camp Fire, all working willingly re-
gardless of blisters. Boy Scouts take
pride in how few matches they use in
building fires, and, tanning with their
hats they succeeded in getting a roar
ing fire, using only one match. Large
logs were then put on which burned
all night. Then the boys started to
get mess, or "eats", each one building
his own fire and doing his own cook
ing. Baked beans were very popular
as they were easy to get ready, but
sausage, bacon, toast, coffee and ma
ny other things were cooked by the
boys. After mess sixteen happy boys
laid around the camp fire on blankets,
watching the fire, singing and enjoy
ing themselves in a good, healthy
way. For anyone who loves boys and
takes an interest in them and in see
ing them enjoy themselves, in the
right way, it was treat.
Shortly after seven o'clock the boys
started on long "hike" through the
woods and brush for Absecon, leaving
guard in charge of the camp. In
Absecon they were met by. Scout Com
missioner Daniel Macmillan and Ell
mer Weaver, Assistant Scout Master
They went to visit the Absecon Scouts
but found that they had also gone
camping for the night
Returning to camp they were soon
rolled up in their blankets and snor-
ing. Some filled their haversacIss
with leaves and other things and used
them for a pillow, others preferred
the hard ground.
The boys were up at five o'clock the
next morning and after "wash-up"
at the creek were soon busy again
cooking and eating. Then they were
given practical instructions in first
aid to the injured, making litters with
poles and coats, signaling and many
other useful things which boy scouts
are taught. Had these boys stayed at
home they would no doubt have spent
their time around the street corners
and other places. Some people make
fun of the Boy Scouts but if they
were to spend night with Them in
camp they would change their minds.
They never go out alone but, always
with some older person who has
charge Of them and instructs them in
many ways. The Boy Scouts is not a
military organization, its aim being
to train boys to be good citizens and
better men, the healthy exercise they
get and the things they get interested
in being great help toward this end.
The boys returned Saturday noon
tired but happy and ready for another
trip at any time.

SCHOOLS in IRELAND
Study Ct Gaelic Not Pursued BY Many
Students,


~ In his annual %s7H .iF'i, s>, he Commits
soners of Irish National Education,
which has just been issued, Mr.. Man
gan, b. A., says to those who consider
what the position of Irish was until
quite recently in the National schools,
the position it row occupies must ap-
pear respectable.
But it would be mistake TO sup
pose that it's position even now is Il
strong one.
1t cannot be so while the teaching
of Irish is postponed till the pupils
reach the third standard, while only
a small fraction of them reach the
highest standard course in it, while
the number of teachers competent to
teach it remains absolutely SO few,
while the parents in English speaking
districts are so apathetic about it,
while bi-lingual parents continue to
boycott it in their daily intercourse
with their children and with one an,
other, and while it Is taught only as
an extra subject.
