THE TEACHERS
OF FRANCE.

Although more than 10000 French
school teachers have gone to active
service in the war, the youngsters
have not had the glorious holiday
which might have been imagined. The
London Times says that with over
half of the school-buildings requisi.
toned by the authorities for hospitals.
the school work is going right along.
"A call for volunteer instructors met
with surprising results" says the
Times. In one school a judge gives
the Latin lessons. In another pre-.
feet has taken charge of the courses in
German, dentist teaches natural
science. and an artist, a hotel.keeper.
a chemist and bookkeeper have
joined the teaching s!affs. Competent
substitutes were everywhere found to
carry on the work of the absent in
structors; so that with the opening of
the new school year. conditions were
nearly normal.
THE Germans are accustomed to
proclaim that their battles are won in
boast of an even more remarkable
achievement. Every school teacher
throughout France has become the in
terpreter of the ideals and aims of the
Allies. He has made the people real
lie the hroade issues of the war, and
the need for patience in hours of de.
feat and for still greater fortitude until
the final victory"
Turning our school teachers out into
the world of business for few years,
and turning business men into the
school rooms meantime might be the
solution to some of our own educa.
tional difficulties. 1t would at least
tend TO destroy the "in-growing" tend
ency of professional teaching" and
make that connection. so longed-for by
educational writer's, between academic
education and everyday life.

THE SOUTH
POLE MYSTERY.

In the last few days public attention
has turned from the great war in
Europe. where the fate of millions is
involved, to the frozen solitudes where
Shackleton and his heroic little party
or explorers were struggling with hos.
tile Nature in her most relentless
mood.
Shackleton started out. shortly after
the war began, to explore the great
Antarctic continent, crossing 1t at it's
narrowest stretch from WeddelI Sea
to Ross Sea, some 100 miles. the
route leading across the pole. He en-
tered upon his land journey about a
year ago. expecting to accomplish il in
five months. An auxiliary party had
meanwhile been sent on the relief shin
Aurora to Hoss Sea. to land supplies,
establish base. make some minor ex.
plorations and await the arrival of
Shackleton.
We know what has happened TO that
relief ship. The Aurora, after landing
her captain with nine men and a guam
tity OF supplies, was caught in the ice
pack last May and carried slowly and
irresistibly far out to sea. She drIfted
helplessly for ten months. and only
two weeks ago was freed by the break.
ing Of the ice pack
Shackleton has been heard from at
New Zealand. but he has not yet told
the story of his adventures. While
his hardships will serve but little good
to the world, his story will be read
with interest.
