obsolete, according to those who are

Human Interest Teaching.
The reason is that present-day teaching
assumes more of the human interest
| point OF view than did that of several
| years ago. it is explained For instance,
| formerly the geography lesson consisted
OF learning all the capes of North and
| south America. or possibly all the CULTS
or all of the rivers No intination was
ever given the children that the various
physical formations to be found had any
bearing on the life of a country or that
geography and the human race had any
particular relation.
In other words seogra phy wac q stnav
or cold facts-bare. unnteresting memory
tests. The boy girl who could best
remember the names of the capes the
rivers, the mountains and other features
was the pest geography scholar, accord
ing to those standards.
Made More Interesting.
But geography as it is being taught
now. and has been taught recently. is
made an interesting study-a study that
embraces in an attractive way the life,
habits and industries of the people OF
the globe, and the relation is taught be-
tween these people and the physical
characteristics of the countries in which
they live or with which they come in
contact.
So much SO has this become true of
recent years that the older geography
known as place geography has been
sighted in large degree. it is said, and
it is also stated the aliases which are
to be furnished to the eighth grade pupils
will bring back the place geography"
in proper amount.
Passing of the Old Ideas.
As place geography is go little used
now, and since these small aliases ap-
parently will be enough for the study of
place geography. it would not be sur
prising, it is said, if the DID, large and in
cidentally expensive Biographies are al
together abandoned in the local schools
in few years. Such a step would mean
a great saving of money. as the geogra-
phies used cost considerably over
the dollar, while the aliases are but 20
cents.

about eighty graduated from the reGu-

that all do not receive appointments a

There are liars and liars. some people lie TOT gain, some for one req son, and some for another, and a very few for no reason at all. We can lind some excuse for those who lie to subseryve some end but for the slimy reptile who, although created in the likeness of man, is a creature fit only to crawl through life on his belly, we have only a feeling of contempt. The Daily Al as5an had an experience with one of these latter tndlviduals a few days ago and would take pleasure in giving him publicity in an alto gether different manner from that in which we did at that time, but upon reflection have decided that he is too utterly contemDtibIe for fur ther notice.

THE sOURDOUGH CLUB.

On the Sth of this month the Al aska, Yukon and British Columbia students at the University of Wash ington at Seattle gave a banquet in the upper hall of what is known as the Alaska building, located on the grounds of the University, and at it's conclusion organized what they were pleased to term the "Sourdough" Club. Forty names were signed to the membership roll. The objects of the organization as set forth are as follows: TO unite the students from Alaska and the Yukon by the identical bonds that hold together all residents of the northland; to promote closer relations between the University of Washington and the prospective students in the north, .-.1 to further the best interests of Alaska and the Yukon" The re Quirements for membership are that the candidate shall have been a bona fide resident of the north for at least 12 month prior to his ap- plicatiOn for membership.
 When the 4. Y. P. exposition opened iu seattle in 1905 one of the most imposing structures that met the eye of the visitor was that known as the Alaska building and which was erected at a cost of something like $5O,O0O by cOntribu- tions from the various camps of the Arctic Brotherhood throughout AL aska and the Yukon. It was built in a permanent manner, as 1t was the intention at the close of the eX-

position to turn it over 10 the y.i versity of Washington for uses whic they might deem fitting. This pro gram was carried out.
 At present this building is used by the Young Mems Christian As sociation, as a lunch room for stu dents and is open on acquisition for general club meetings of the students of the University, but in conformity with a tacit agreement between the donors and the regents of the university at the time of the transfer the clubs composed wholly or in part of students from Alaska and the Yukon have prior right of meeting and occupancy.
 The regents have adhered strict ly to their agreement with the Arc tic Brotherhood, and have stated that when the students from the north become numerous enough to provide for the expenses of its maintenance they would be allow ed its exclusive use.
 Since the exposition several scs- sions of the Grand Camp of the Arctic brotherhood have taken place within it and it has been designated as the place for holding the next session of this body in 1914.
 The organization of the Sour dough club is a commendable move and one which deserves the cn- couragement and support of the people of the north. It is probable that with the present small mem bership the club will have a strug- gle for existence, and it may be that at some timo in the future funds will have to be raised to keep it Gying. should this prove to be the case We feel assured that it will meet with a prompt response from every section of the north.

He has positively declined to discuss
the subject. But it Is known that he

If he should decide to make the trip

While President Wilson and Dr.. Cary
T. Grayson played golf on the East
Gulfport links, Miss Margaret Wilson,
Miss Eleanor Wilson and Miss Helen
Bones went for a long horseback ride
along the oyster shell road that fronts
the beach. The President was well
pleased with the weather today.
The susl was out strong and the wind
had died down. Although there was
still wintry chill to the air, the sun
was rapidly dissipating 1t, and there
were promises that before the end of
the, week the balmy climate promised
would be here on tap.
The President took a short walk along
the road before breakfast. He was

was a child of i neiyhbor. and he sidled
bsshfullv up to the Executive and ex-
tended his hand. which was warmly
clssped.
1t was stated that so far as the Fed

disaster at Calumet was concef ned. the
matter would be decided by Secretary OF

Has No Authority.
This is a matter entirely within his
department and 1t is stated that there
seems to be no apparent method which
would give the President any jurisdic-
ton to take the initiative in an IN
quiry. Consequently Secretary Wilson
will not bring the matter to the attention
Of the President. 1t Is possible, how
ever. that after the Executive returns
to Washington. Congressional investi-
cation Of the entire trouble In both
the Calumet and Colorado districts may
be taken up.
The golf links Of the Mississippi Coast
Country Club. where the President play
ed today, are ideally situated, with a
splendid view OF the Gulf of Mexico
and Mississippi Sound. The Executive
discarded his gray coat, but wore q
heavy woolen sweater in us round OF
the course.
He was immensely pleased when greet
ed at the clubhouse by the aged colored
boss of the caddies, who told him he
was the personal attendant during part
Of the war, to the late jefferson Davis,
President Of the Confederaoy. and al
though bowed with the weight Of years,
he insisted on personally acting as
oaddy for the frst two holes. Then,
however, old legs had to yield to young
ones, and an active grandson Of the old
man took his place.
Immediately after the game the Pres
ident returned TO his cottage, where he
took a long nap before luncheon. This
afternoon he planned to motor about
and inspect the country.
Although the yachts Dolphin ana
Mayfower are not here, the revenue
cutter Winona dropped into the harbor
early TODAY and anchored of the dock
opposite the Presidents cottage. This

might possibly decide after all to start
for Panama on the cutter. The report
was promptly denied. 1t was believed,
however that the President might take
a brief voyage in the cutter.
