pool. This line has recently ordered
two large geared turbine steamers. one
to be built ut Swan. Hunter and Wig
ham Richardson's yard ut walisend-
on-Tyre. and the other by Palmers'
Shipbuilding Company at Jarrow.
1t is understood that the builders
have not been able to guarantee de-
livery, and despite this fact, very high
prices are being paid by the Eilerman
line for the new boats, as much us
eighteen, pounds per ton being mem
toned. as against about 6-10-0 pounds
per ton In normal times.
While the shipbuildtng yards on the
Clyde are working both day and night.
very little merchant work is being
turned out During last month. only
two boats were launched for the mer-
camille marine, and these were but
small craft, the building OF which II is
understood. has been pushed forward
with the consent OF the admiralty au-
thorities so that room could be made
for new war work.
When the two boats will be complete
ed is another matter. and It is prob
able they may remain in their present
stage Of construction for many months
as has been the case with a large num-
Der OF vessels in British yards.
Only Three Launched.
Since January ], this year, only
three merchant steamers have been
launched on the Clyde, representing a
total OF 5000 tons. which is the small
est output ever experienced since the
Clyde became shipbuilding center.
In the first two months OF last year,
10000 tons was added to the British
mercantile marine from the Clyde
alone, and even that was regarded as
small output.
Another feature OF British shipping
is the growing popularity of the motor
vessel. British shipowners have been
slow to take advantage Of the new
method Of propulsion, but the increas-
ing number OF motor driven vessels
which have been ordered on the con-
tinent and in the United States. has
caused British owners to pause. Much
depends upon the attitude which the
government adopts regarding work on
merchant ships, and II greater freedom
is granted, 1t is understood that large

Among the shipowners who are now

initial cost of installation for equip
ment commensurate with the school, S
needs would be very small, a mere
bagatelle compared with the adyanta-
ges derived therefrom. The cost of
maintenance would be slight, very
slight when it is known that by install
ling such course state aid allowed
for it will cover the expense incurred
in adding another instructor to the
staff. This big lift has enabled small
er schools than Eagle Rivers to main
tain these up-to-date courses.
The high school building is admir-
ably adapted for the equipment re-
CURED With a few minor altera-
tons there would be ample space in
the basement for the two new de-
partments. 1t would be utilization
of waste space that is laying idle now,
and the expense of making the change
would be very small.
The introduction of these two
courses in the smaller high schools is
no experiment. The success of their
work proves beyond a doubt their
adaptability to the smaller community.
The provision for more healthy, hap
py, intelligent and economical home
life is rightly considered to be a
national problem. Home economics
is the application of science and
economics to the affairs of the family,
to food, clothing, shelter, children.
Its corner stones are economy of
health and economy of wealth. Its
introduction into the system of mod
ern day education lays foundations for
right living. Of manual training the
benefits derived are equally as far
reaching. The principles advanced,
the exactness demanded and the crea-
tive force developed give a breadth to
education that no other subject can.
The courses taught at the Eagle
River high school are very limited.
The school is on the accredited list
but there is not the choice of courses
there should in high school of its
size. Were the two courses in ques-
ton installed it would rank the local
high school as progressive, up-to-
date institution. 1t appears that the
slight expense would warrant the
adoption of the courses when the ad-
vantages are considered.

NEW WOODMAN HALL
Thirty-one Members of Three

To the thirty-one members of
the Three Lakes camp OF Modern
Woodmen ofAmerica is due COM
mendation of the highest order
for their progressiveness and ac-
tivitv in lodge circles.
For a number of years past the
Three Lakes camp had badly felt
the need of a new hall, but build
ing a new hall of the dimensions
required was pretty big under
taking for thirty-one members
Nevertheless, they did it and
today the new hall stands as a
monument to the thrift and in
dustrv of a live bunch of Modern
Woodmen.
The hall as completed will have
a finished basement with lodge
rooms, dining room and kitchen,
and above that will be a spacious
dance floor, 40x9O it. and a
roomy stage at the north end.
Work is progressing rapidly in
order that the grand opening
ball may take place as soon as
the roads clear up.

the Director of the Michigan Geo
logical Survey at Lansing, Michigan
for copy of their Publication 10, en-
titled, Contributions to the Pre-
Cambrian Geology of Northern
Michigan and Wisconsin" Lansing,

results of our geological survey and

have no reason to believe that there
are merchantable iron-ore deposits on
our portion of these ranges. The

but everywhere $50 far as we have
been able to discovery so metamor-
phosed as to offer no promise of ore

our efforts is explained by the fact
that we were determined to prove or
disprove this conclusion as thoroughly
as possible. We proceeded under
expert advice and only stopped when
our experts positively advised us that
this metamorphism was doubtless re-
gional rather than local. Of course,
there is bare possibility that some
one or more localities, as yet unex-
plored, have escaped this metamor-
phism. But this possibility is too re-
