SCHOOL NOTES

1t may seem rather surprising to in
clude education among the pleasures
of life, but the very process of acquire
ing knowledge is a privilege and a bles-
sing. 1t used to be said that there was
no royal road to learning F; it would be
more true to say that the avenues lead
ing to it are all royal. The schools are
doing the most wonderful work in the
world today, and they depend upon the
enthusiasm and earnest work of the
teachers for their success and advance
ment. The school has assumed the
greater part of the burden that once
rested in the home. and a great re.
s%ponsibility has been thrown on the
shoulders of the teachers. They are
the greatest public servants we have,
and the community owes them all it
can bestow. Gladstone has reason
to be proud of her corps of efficient
teachers. Prof. H. o. Pippin has
charge of grades s. :, s and 9. Miss
Adeline Jarvis has the Intermediate
grades, 3, 4 and S. And Miss Inis
Cameron has the primary work and
Grades 1 and 2. From personal obser-
walton we conclude that both teachers
and pupils are doing excellent work.
Miss Adeline Jarvis received the fol-
letter from Master Clare Turner,
aged nine years, one of her pupils in
the third grade. who. with. is..parents.

without the slightest difficulty, whereas
man is nearly helpless when once he has en-
tered the reedbeds. They had made paths
hither and thither across the swamp, these
paths being three feet deep in ooze and black
water. There were little islands in the
swamp on which they could rest.
The Nairobi which cut across the lower
end of the farm, and the REVERB, which
bounded it on the other side from the Ka-
miti were as different as possible from the
latter. Both were rapid streams broken by
rifle and waterfall and running at the bot
tom of tree-clad valleys.
Game in Almost Incredible Numbers
The lower part of the farm, between the
Kamiti and REVERB and on both sides of the
Nairobi, consisted of immense rolling plains,
and on these the game swarmed in almost
incredible numbers. There were Grants
and Thomson's gazelles, of which we shot
one or two for the table. There was small
herd of blue wldbeest, and among them
one unusually large bull with an unusually
fine head; Kermit finally killed him. There
were plenty of wart-hogs, which were to be
found feeding right out in the open, both i'll
the morning and the evening
But of course the swarms of game con-
sisted of zebra and hartebeest At no time,
when riding in any direction across these
plains, were we ever out OF sight OF them
One afternoon we needed meat for the
safar and Cuninghame and I rode out to
get it. Within half mile we came upon big
herds both of hartcbeest and zebra. They
stood to give me long-range shots at about
800 yards. I wounded ZEBRA after which
Cuninghame rode While he was off, killed
first zebra and then hartcbeest and short
ly afterward cloud of dust announced that
Cuninghame was bringing herd of game
toward me.
l knelt motionless, and the long files of
red coated hartebeest and brilliantly striped
zebra came galloping past. They were quite
a distance off, but had time for several
shots at each animal I selected, and
dropped one more zebra and one more harte-
beest, in addition. regret to add, to wound
ing another hartebeest

tiiul bits of natural scenery as can well be
imagined. and though Heatley-a thorough
farmer, and the son and grandson Of farm
ers-was making it successful farm, with
large herds OF cattle, much improved stock,
hundreds of acres under cultivation, a fine
dairy, and the like, yet it was also game
reserve such as could not be matched either
lin Europe or America. From Julia farm we
rmarched dozen miles and pitched our tent
close beside the Kamit
The Kamiti is a queer little stream, rum
ming for most of its course through broad
swamp of tall papyrus. Such a swamp is
almost irnpenetrable. The papyrus grows to
"a height OF over 20 feet, and the stems are
so close together that in many places it is
impossible to see anything at distance OF
six feet. Ten yards from the edge, when
within the swamp | was wholly unable to
tell in which direction the open ground lay
and could get out only by either following
\ my back track or listening for voices. I'm
derfoot, the mud and water are hip-deep.
This swamp was the home of herd of
buffalo numbering perhaps hundred indi
iwiduals. They are semi-aquatic beasts, and
their enormous strength enables them to
plough through the mud and water and
burst their way among the papyrus stems

out together, he stationed me among some
thin thorn-bushes on a little knoll, and drove
the game by me, hoping to get ME a shot at
some wildebeest The scattered thorn
bushes were only four or five feet high, and
SO thin that there was no difficulty in looking
through them and marking every movement
OF the game as it approached. The wilde
beest took the wrong direction and never
came near me-though they certainly Jared
as badly as if they had done SO, for they
passed by Kermit, and it was on this occa-
sion that he killed the big bull * y
The kongon and the zebra streamed by
me. herd after herd, hundreds and hundreds
OF them, many passing within so yards of
my shelter, now on one side, now on the 9TH
er; they went at an easy lope, and l was in
terested to see that many of the kongoni ran
with their mouths open. This is an attitude
which we usually associate with exhaustion,
but such cannot have been the case with the
kongoni-they had merely cantered for
mile or So
The zebra were, as usual, noisy a number
of them uttering their barking neigh as they
passed. do not know how it is ordinarily,
but these particular zebra, all stations by
the way, kept their mouths open throughout
the time they were neighing, and their ears
pricked forward; they did not keep their
mouths open while merely galloping, as did
the kongon
We had plenty Of meat, and the natural
lists had enough specimens and | was glad
that there was no need to harm the beautiful
creatures. They passed so close that | could
mark every slight movement, and the ripple

A Most Dangerous Game.
But the game we were after was the buff
falo herd that haunted the papyrus swamp.
AS have said before, the buffalo is by many
hunters esteemed the most dangerous of
African game. 1t is an enormously power
full beast with. in this country, coat OF
black hair which becomes thin In the old
bulls, and massive horns which rise into
great bosses at the base. these bosses some
times meeting in old age SO as to cover the
forehead with frontlet OF horn.
Their habits vary much in different places.
Where they are much prosecuted, they lie in

edge OF the swamp was not straight, but
broken by projections and indentations; and
by following 1t closely and cutting cautious
ly across the points, the opportunity for
stalking was good. AS there was not a tree
OF any kind anywhere near, we had to rely
purely on our shooting to prevent damage
from the buffalo.
Cautiously threading Our way long the
edge of the swamp, We got within 50 yards
OF the buffalo before we were perceived.
There were four bulls, grazing close by the
edge Of the swamp their black bodies glis-
tening in the early sun rays, their massive
horns showing white. and the cow-herons
perched on their backs. They stared sui
lenly at us with outstretched heads from
under their great frontlets Of horn.
The biggest of the four stood little out
from the other three, and at him / fired, the
bullet telling with smack on the tough hide
and going through the lungs We had been
afraid they would at once turn into the papy-
rus. but instead Of this they started straight
across our front directly for the open
country.
A Running Fight for the Bulls.
This was piece OF huge good luck. Ker-
NIT put his first barrel into the second bull,
and my second barrel into one of the 9TH
ers, after which it became impossible to say
which bullet struck which animal, as the
firing became general. They ran quarter
OF mile into the open, and then the big
bull had first shot. and which had no other
bullet in him, dropped dead, while the other
three, all OF which were wounded, halted be-
side him.
We walked toward them, rather expect
ing charge; but when we were still over
zoo yards away they started back for the
swamp, and we began firing. The distance
being long, I used my Winchester. Aiming
well before one BULL he dropped to the shot
as if poleaxed, falling straight on his back
with his legs kicking; but in moment he
was up again and after the others. Later
found that the bullet, a full-metal patch. had
struck him in the head but did not penetrate
to the brain, and merely stunned him for the
moment.
All the time we kept running diagonally
to their line OF flight. They were all three
badly wounded, and when they reached the
tall rank grass, high as mans head. whic',
fringed the papyrus swamp, the two fore
most lay down, while the last one, the one
had floored with the Winchester, turned,
and with nose outstretched began to come
toward us. He was badly crippled, however,
and with a soft-nosed bullet from my heavy
Holland knocked him down. this time for
good The other two then rose, and though
each was again hit they reached the swamp,
