CHARTING THE WATERS
OF KUSKOKWIM RIVER
Stream in Alaska, Hitherto Regard
ed as Practically impossible,
Is Made Navigable. ..-..

Lower freight rates is one of the
direct results of the charting of the
kuskokwim river, Alaska, according to
the Department of Commerce. Though
second in size only to the Yukon, but
two or three small steamers ascend it
during an open season. But the gov
ernment surveyors went there, and dur
ing the past five seasons have been
charting the waters 6f this river, and
now steamers can navigate safely and
confidently the channel. which passes
through a vast area of mud flats off the
rivers mouth, a feat declared to be
formerly extremely hazardous and re-
quiring sometimes weeks to accom-
plish.
For the present. says bulletin of the
Department of Commerce, the river is
still given over mostly to the Indian
and the squaW man, and the rifle, the
trap and the fish-wheel still furnish the
main necessaries of life. But the pros
pector and the homesteader have al
ready visited the valley, and perhaps

Children Wandered Helplessly.

The children of the frontier are en-
tirely distinct from any other group OF
children cared for in France today. The
little ones are largely Flemish, who.
having had their homes destroyed and
their fathers or mothers killed, wan
dered helplessly here and there as the
tiue of battle advanced or receded along
the border between Belgium and
France. until they finally were taken in
charge by the Franco American COM
mitte~
The French children whose fathers
have died on the field of battle, or
whose fathers are still fighting for
their country, are partially supported
by the state, but these little waits of
the frontier. having no government aid,
make a peculiar appeal to the American
people. who have already done so much
for suffering Belgium.
The Franco american committee is
now caring for 1000 children and hopes
to be able to feed and clothe 5000
during the coming winter and until the
day comes when they safely may be re-
turned to their own country
The Twentieth Century Club is or
ganizing a committee to make new
clothing for these orphans. Mrs Frank
Baker. who did much work for the Bel
gans last winter, is to be in charge OF
the working end of this committee, and
Mrs. Bicknell hopes to obtain the ma
terial for the clothing, and also to raise
enough money to send contribution
direct to the members of the Franco
American committee,

The civic section of the Twentieth
Century Club, of which Mrs. Gilbert H.

aid in two labors of relief for dwellers

plying household necessities for the
peasants in the devastated villages of
the Marine district. Mrs. Ernest Bick-
nell is the chairman of the war relief
committee of the civic section.
The cause of the frontier orphans in
France is pronounced an appealing
one. The Twentieth Century Club will

committee of Paris in it's work for the
protection of the children. The hon

HIGH AND LOW COST OF EDUCATION

According to reports made by the 261 Yale
seniors who are preparing for graduation
their education covering the period of the last four
years cost them total of ST. 079111 That is their
entire expenses during that period reached that
amount. Much of the cost of the actual education
they received was met by the endowments of the
New Haven institution, through gifts of its loyal
alumni
great part of the amount spent during the
four years by the Yale seniors must have been
for their maintenance and amusements High liv-
ing expenses included in the total too with the
high modifying either word, living or EEK
penses."
The financial waste that goes with the higher
education of high livers is shown by comparison
OF the figures which represent the expenses of the
most extravagant Yale senior and those of the most
frugal The largest amount spent in single year
by student 81 800, and the smallest 5000. 1t
is evident that the young spendthrft paid out much
more for uxuries than the economist expended for
actual necessities. What the former spent in one
year would have supported the latter at his pres
ent rate, for twenty-five years and six months
In fact what it cost the former for quarter of
bachelors degree might enable the latter to study
until he obtained practically al the academic de-
grees available
The Yale senior who is graduated after an aver
age expenditure of $4,000 year, or total extrava-
gance of $4,000 during his course, will have hard
time proving to the world that he received full
value for cash paid 1t is doubtful whether col
lege diploma is in every given instance worth quite
$4,000 Henry David Thoreau, who was gradu-
ated at Harvard at a time when five dollars was
charged for diploma, refused to pay it since he
considered five dollars an exorbitant price for
| thing useless to him.
The college graduate, at all events, who expends
$500 during his four-year course may have just as
good an education as the one who sauanders
$4,000. The former is indeed very likely to get
much better education, since he would be able
during his course to devote time to the pursuing of
his studies which the latter would have to give to
the spending of his excessive allowances

his father controlled during a long
lifetime. The new Lord, the Hon. Wal
ter Lionel, is in his 4Sth year. He
sat for time in the House of Commons
as Unionist member, but not finding
politics to his liking retired in favor of
his cousin, Lionel, oldest son of Leopold
de Rothschild. The real occupation of
the new peer is natural history and the
collection OF wild animals, especially
such as are capable of, at any rate, par
tial domestication. At Tring Park, his
country home, he has built most i'm.
portant Natural History Museum,
which contains 100000 specimens of
rare birds and insects. To add to this
collection he has at times sent expe-
ditions to the remotest corners of the
world.

ing glory are sufficient to indicate advancing age
Historic associations are splendid things for in
stitutions of higher learning. The institution in
this state which, perhaps, is best supplied with
such associations is Pennsylvania College at Get
tysburg, whose campus was occupied by Confed-
crate troops during the great Civil War battle, and
whose principal dormitory building, which accom-
modates big part of the student body and will
continue to do so for many years. was used as q
hospital for large numbers of wounded soldiers.
However, buildings from the days of the Civil
War of course not very ancient, and even struc-
lures which have survived since the time of Frank
lin are comparatively modern In this country we
cannot have structural relics of our antiquity,
for that is the antiquity of Europe. If we want
to really ancient ruins we must go over there.
