Trials of the Sourdoughs

Blanche e. Herbert, in World Outlook.
One rarely wearies of talking with the
sourdoughs and the prospectors but If
you ask them questions about the coun-
try and their own experiences in its
early history they will give you the most
laconic replies-toss you bits of informa-
ton, as it were-as though there was
really nothing to tell
They had great time building this
road, said sourdough, as our train
crawled up White Pass Some parts of
1t cost $250,OOC mile to build; and it was
hard to get men to attend to the work.
one summer morning there were 1000 men
at work here-lawyers, doctors, mer-
chants. teachers and college fellows. In
the AFTERNOON word came that gold had
been found over in the Atlin region. and
by night time there were only 600 men
left in camp. The other 400 had taken
the company's picks and axes and rushed
off through the wilderness to Atlin. leay-

that place down at the bottom of the
gorge? That's Dead Horse Gulch. In
the early rush they chose this route he
cause they found that horses could
climb over the pass; but most of the
horses died on the way"
How dreadful I shivered
Dead horses are nothing. MANY of
the men went clean crazy and blew their
brains out"
But why did they shoot themselves ?"
why? Bless you. because they
couldn't stand the loneliness and the
hardships. I myself have seen more men
go crazy and more blow their brains
out than ! could count upon my fingers"

War Stimulates Move to
MOdernize Educational
System Of Great Britain

own in type and attitude of mind. In
Great Britain-outslde the class of land
owners-the men of power and position
were manufacturers, merchants, ship
owners bankers. All these were prac-
teal men who owed little to government
or science. In Germany the land owners
were powerful; their military bias in
clined them to system and care for de-
tail and direction from above. They
looked to the government for support; in
matters of which they were ignorant
they looked for guidance to scientific au-
thority. The leadership of the nation,
outside of official circles, lay with the
learred caste, which was numerous, re-
spected and profoundly convinced of the
universal value of science"
This comparison of conditions in Ger
many and England alone is worth the
whole work of the committee. 1t should
open the eyes of Englishmen to what
must be done IL they are to keep their
place after the war in the race for world
markets with the most highly organized
industrial state in the world.
FULL OF GOOD THINGS
But the report is full of other good
things. In making plea for the closer
alliance of science and industry the
writer makes the point that there are
objections on both sides The British
business man despises the scientist as
an impractical dreamer, while the Brit
ish scientist looks on the alliance of
science with trade as something sordid
which will injure the development of
pure science. This argument is demol-
ished by a phrase: There are more lilies
in those countries where lilies are grown
for food as well as for beauty" and the
writer points out that the alliance of
science and industry cannot fail to bene-
fit pure science by providing the neces-
sary funds for adequate research work
PROPOSALS PRACTICAL
The proposals of the report are. as
might be expected, eminently practical
The writer does not propose to do away
with the old universities or even to make
much change in their character. Oxford,
for instance, has always specialized in
the classics and humanties and may
very well continue to do So while Cam
bridge has ben the home of abstract
mathematics and could not do better
than follow and develop that line. Both
are in comparatively small university
towns far removed from the centers of
Industry. 1t is. to the new universities in
tho industrial towns, such as Sheffield
Bradford, Birmingham and others that
he looks for the modernzation of scien-
tlflc education. What is proposed is
coIHplhauon OF workshop training and
scientific education to run, simultaneously
and to be provided free to able young
men by system of scholarships. For
starter series of scholarships which
would cost about 81, 100000 a year is pro-
posed, and business men and manufac-
turers are appealed to TO make the
scheme workable and practical 1t is
also pointed out that the scheme could
be extended to feed the consular service
and the higher Ranks Of the civil service
with men who have been thoroughly
trained for the work which they are ex-
pected to do.

TRACES GERMANY'S RISE

The writer of the report then traces
the rise of United Germany as a nation
and describes the conditions with which
it found itself faced as follows:
THE German rulers by tradition be-
lieved in system, forethought and au-
thority. The German people were ready
to accept authoritative instruction. Their

London, August 5.-One of the results
of the war in England has been to
stimulate immensely the movement for
the modernization of the education
system and the education authorities
are at last thoroughly awake to the
necessity of fostering the development
of scientific education if England is to
keep her place in the markets of the
world. One of the most hopeful signs
OF this awakening is the publication Of
a report which has just been issued by
the ministry of education, and which is
in its way one of the most Illuminating
and interesting documents ever issued
by government department. 1t is the
report of consultative committee APP
pointed in 1913 by the board of educa-
ton to consider the question of scholar
ships from secondary schools to the uni
versities. the purpose of the committee
done to turn out better supply of
teachers for the primary and secondary
schools.
The committee was just the ordinary
British committee of the kind. 1t con-
sisted of couple of members of Parlia-
ment. two or three department Off
college dean or two. There were no out
pected that it would do more than hold
