Drown Near SkagwaY

Twelve, and perhaps more, persons lost their lives on the morning of July 4th by the capslzing of the launch Superb in Lynn canal, near Skagway.
 The dead are: Stanley Dillon and Henry BernhoRer, of Skagway; Oscar Carlson and Bob Saunders, of Seattle; Lynch, of Atin; J. II. Bell, of Whitehorse; Monte Price, T. Maturein, Joe Logan and Myrtle Burlington (col- ored) of Haines; and Tom Vilatich and Sam Vilatich, of Fairbanks.
 The Superb left skaRwsy for Juneau Friday night, but when just below Haines found the waters of Lynn canal too rough and Capt. Geo. Black, the owner, decided to turn back A stop was made at Haiues, where several of the party disem parked, and four others, among them the colored woman, came aboard to go to Skagway. When within 3]5 miles of their destination, the little craft in some manner upset, leaving her passengers, 20 or % in all, struggling in the water. Many climbed upon the bottom of the upturned boat, only to be washed off again by the huge waves. J. H. Bell, of Whitehorse, drowned in attempting to swim to the shore about coo yards distant. Finally Tom Running and Sam Peterson sue ceeded in reaching the shore, walked the beach to SkaRway for aid. When the rescue party reached the wreck only six helpless creatures were still clinging to it.
 The Superb was considered a stauch little craft. She was about 30 feet in length, but was perhaps overloaded. There are still conflicting stories as to the number of her passengers. Many had baggage with them.
 The sad accident caused the people of Skagway to abandon their celebra tiou, and there is a feeling of sadness throughout the entire district.

Sunday Game at Juneau

The Douglas Island ball team went over Co Juneau last Sunday afternoon, where a S25O prize offered by the cele- bration committee looked good to their restless eyes. Here they sought and found a solace for all their woes, and pounded Pitchers Ford and Hester for ten safe bits, out of which they netted half a dozen runs. Jack Johnson pitched for the Islanders and allowed but two hits during the game, and with these Juneau was not able to pan out a single run. This performance evened up things again between the teams.

RURAL SCHOOL NOTES.
BY Tina Fessenden, CO. Supt.

Miss Pearl Middlebrook, who taught
in jamestown twp. district !. the past
year. was very pleasantly surprised on
May 9Th. the closing day of her spring
term, when the patrons of the school
arranged surprise picnic for her.
Miss Middlebrook will teach in Gutten-
berg, Iowa school the coming year.
On Wednesday, May the 9Th, the
superintendent spent pleasant quar-
ter of the day at Ruby Fox's school in
Jamestown twp, district 8. AS the
eighth grade examinations would be
held the following two days in Miss
Fox's district, this was the closing
day for pupils. At the noon hour de-
licious picnic dinner provided by Miss
Fox's mother, was thoroughly enjoyed
by all.
Ruby Fox, who teaches in James
town 8, is also doing some good
work with the use of these drills.
Two of her second grade pupils
wrote the answers in 4 and min
utes, respectively; the answers should
be written in grade 2 in 6 minutes.
We trust that all the teachers are
getting just as effective results from
the use of these drills as are the
above mentioned ones.

The following quotation is taken
from one Of the new reading circle
books, Better Rural Schools" writ
ten by George Herbert Belts and
Otis Earl Hall. The chapter from
which this extract is taken is en-
titled 1.-THE New Education" "Edu-
cation is the open road to efficiency.
This is the new definition of education
the meaning that is supplanting all
other definitions Whatever leads to
efficiency is education, and what
does not lead to efficiency is not
education, whatever else it may be.
No matter how long the schooling
or how hard the studies, or how
great the amount of learning, there
fore these things must lead to eff
ficiency in the concrete business Of
living if they are to be called true
education. Professor James tells us
that most of us never succeed in
calling forth and using all Of the
powers we possess, and estimates
Cresco plain dealer. (Cresco, Howard County, Iowa) 1913-1945, 1914-05-22

that if all the power and ability in
men could be brought out and util-
ICED it would increase the efficiency
of the human race by fifty per cent.
at one leap. 1t is the business Of
education to get hold Of this last
fifty Per cent of power in our boys
and girls and set it at work in in
creasing their usefulness and sue
cess. This is the new education

friends of the parcel post argued
that it would allow people in the
cities to get farm products fresh
from the country and that the sys-
tenn would cut out the middle man
make more money for the farm
ers. and cut down the high cost
of living for the consumers. That
has not been brought about. The
farmers themselves do not appear
to be clamoring for the parcel
post in the hadling of their pro-
ducts, and my personal expert
ence is that they are content with
the present methods Of ship
ments.
In the meantime, the mail order
merchants in Chicago are saying
nothing, but saving wood.
And it might be said that all
this revision of express rates, in
which merchandise comes south
to the farmer at reduced rate
and the farmers produce is car
ried north at an increased rate
as compared with the rates prev
iously applying, is the result of
the parcel post. The express
companies have had to meet the
competition of the parcel post
and they are disposed to make up
for the deficiency caused by re-
ductions in the one ease by in
creasing rates in the other case.
Where does the farmer profit in
the long run:
