Explorer Rasmussen.

Knud Rasmussen, the young Danish
explorer, has made the important dis
covery that the so called Peary chan
mel at the northern end of Greenland
does not exist and that Peary Land
Is not an island but Il portion Of
Greenland. Rasmussen started on his
expedition on July 10. 1910. He is n
native Of Greenland, the son Of Il Dan
lsh clergyman and II pure blooded Es'
klmo. From infancy the explorer has
spoken Eskimo and has devoted much
study to the language philologically,

than any other person. As "A youth

Of his obligation to so prepare himself

tend to implant in the universities, col

sound military policy. l do not mean a
policy which ends in militarism, but a
policy which means reasonable military
preparedness.
"In a word, we wish to bring as
many as possible Of our college men in
contact with carefully selected officers
Of the army in order that we may give
them a proper conception Of the army
and it's relations to the country and
also make clear to them the military
needs of the country and the part
which we look to them and to men Of
their kind to play in case war comes
upon us.
"We do not expect in these brief Pc
RODS Of encampment to go into all the
details and fine points Of military
drill, but we do hope to be able to
make clear the broad purpose of our
military policy and implant sound fun
damental ideas which would be Of

called into active service. 1t is the

GIRLS ON ROOF PLAYGROUND.

fresh air schools have been established
children suffering from certain forms
of tuberculosis or who come from tu-
bercular families have gained in
strength and health and have showed
better mental development.
Besides the good effect on children's
health, it has been found that children
attend school more regularly when 1t
is conducted on the outdoor plan.
One of the greatest needs of Amerl-
can cities today in order to preserve
the vitality of children is the estab-
lishment Of Fairgrounds, easily aces
sible to all children of a community.
1t is said that the physical and mental
are inseparably Joined together. and If
one is defective the other will suffer i'll
sympathy. 1t appears impossible to
develop the child physically in any
way SO effectively as through active
play. Formal gymnastics can accom-
plish relatively little. The child must
have some end to gain that arouses its
enthusiasm and demands agility and
strength and endurance. Ihen It's
whole bodily mechanism will work to-
gether in harmony to secure this end.
Even if Fairgrounds were of no
value in social development they would
still be of inestimable service in keep
ing children out of crime. II Il boys
energies are not used up in wholesome
activity they will often find expression
in Legitimate conduct.
There is Il movement on foot III
Washington among those interested IN
the welfare of the school children
which bids fair to solve III many IN
stances the problem of lack of play
ground during their recesses tor the
pupils of the public schools. Il problem
which. owing to the neglect OF the
school authorities of former years to
provide sufficient space for the greatly
increased number of scholars. has III
very many cases become Il most Serl-
Gus one.
The solution Of the trouble, as pro
vided by the movement. is 10 appro-
pirate Il certain portion OF the street
during the recess time.
The proposed plan is to set aside Il
block of the street roadway during the
recess time by ean of ropes that can
be readily adjusted to poles set In the
curb in Il few seconds. The barrier
could thus be erected or removed by
some Of the older pupils almost instant
ly. It would not extend across the
sidewalk.

Rev. DR.. Henry van Dyke, our new
minister to the Netherlands and Lux
emburg, is well known abroad as a
writer, preacher and professor Of Eng
lish literature. He is regarded by many
as one Of the most distinguished Of
American poets.
He was born in 1852 and received
his education at Princeton university,
Princeton Theological seminary and
in Berlin. His first pastorate was at
Newport, R. l., from where he came to
New York in 1882 and occupied the
pulpit at the Brick Presbyterian
church, where he remained until a few
years ago. In 1899 he vas appointed
professor of English literature at
Princeton university.
He was the American lecturer at the
sorbonne in 19OS-9 and in 1910 re-
ceived the Legion of Honor medal in
recognition of his literary work. His
writings embrace a wide and compre-
hensive field. from short stories Of
! French Canadian life to religious and
philosophical discussions and literary
criticisms. His poetry, made popular
through an easy and graceful style, is
concerned principally with religious
subjects. He was a great admirer and
friend Of Tennyson.

fisherman and has written a number
Of books and essays on angling. .

Avoid Sedative Cough Medicines.

If you want to contribute directly to
the occurrence of capillary bronchitis
and pneumonia use cough medicines
that contain iodine, morphine, heroin
and other sedatives when you have a
cough or, cold. An expectorant like
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is what is
needed. That cleans out the culture
beds or breeding places for the germs
of pneumonia and other germ diseases.
That is why pneumonia never results
from a cold when Chamberlaln's Cough
Remedy is used. 1t has a world wide
reputation for its cures. 1t contains J .

Others children are compelled by the

children can leave school the state
should be responsible for their health,
according to Professor Irving Fisher

training and should recognize the fact
that the schoolhouse is more than
