COSTLY BLUNDERS

One of the questions which will come before congress this session will be the readjustment of the pay of all employees of the postal service, includ- ing first, second, third and fourth-class pOstmasters, clerks and employees of the railway mail service. Althiugh those members of congress who are interested in postal legislation are largely of the opinion that readiust- ment must be made, involving in- creases which, in the aggregate, would amount to a great figure, they are greatly at variance in their plans for bringing this about without creat- ing deficit in the operation of the postoffice department.
 However, it is probable that the initial steps toward securing additional postal revenues to defray the expenses of increasel salaries will lead the pos tai committees of congress to a scru- tiny of many of the regulations prom ulgated by Postmaster General Burle- son which, it is claimed, have resulted in great monetary loss to the govern ment. One of these regulations is that which covered books and cata- logues into the parcels post classi- fication, which has resulted in stu. pendous profit to certain large mail order houses and a corresponding

SERUM BEING TRANSPORTED
DESPITE GREAT Diff
CULTTES

DAWSON, Y. t., Jan. 20. -
Little by little, scraps of informa-
ton coming from various cections
of Alaska and Yukon territory show
that the northland in it's fight
against Spanish influenza, handi-
capped by lack of medical sup
plies, physicians, hospitals and the
distances of s~now-covered tundra,
frozen waters and hills, has put up
an heroic struggle against ravages
of the disease.
Transportation of "anti-influen-
"a" serum from the lower coast
into all sections Of the far north,
ever to the Arctic waters, has been
especially interesting. Two months
Of hard travel with dog teams will
be necessary to convey the latest
serum sent here on an arduous
journey of 600 miles across the
Arctic wilderness to Herschel ISL
land, Rampant and Fort McPher-
son.
Six of the royal northwest
mounted police left Dawson on
this trip. The serum was sent
from Ottawa to Vancouver. Upon
it's arrival at White Horse it was
carried 400 miles over the ice to
Dawson by ho~rse-drawn sleighs.
the serum being carefully wrapped
in fur robes and a proper tempera-
ture maintained by means of char
coal-burning foot-warmers.
From Dawson the police will
carry the serum in specially pre-
pared belts strapped next to their
skin.

WEST AFRICA NATIVES
HOARD WHITE METAL,
CAUSING SHORTAGE
SHILLING NOTES BEING Is
SUED TO REPLACE
COIN 49,.

LONDON, Jan. 3O.-The hoard
ing habits of the natives in West
Africa is causing much difficulty
among interests trading in that
country. AS soon as a supply of
silver lets loose it disappears.
Paper money has been introduced
in one pound, 10 shilling and two
shilling notes, but the native is
not keen for these and much pre-
fers silver. Now the experiment
is being tried of issuing one shil-
ling notes which will be legal ten
der and if the native takes to
them the problem will be largely
solved.
In the meantime the West Afri-
ca currency board is buying as
much silver as possible and ship
ping it by every steamer to West
Africa.

The lack of stability in the prof

system Of education upon low plane.

higher types of men and women. In
order to reach this end, to accom-

THE MISSION OF THE TEACHER
BY SA.1 WARE

|" Whatever we would have in the
home. the state and nation ten or
twenty years hence must be in the
homes and schools OF today. Hence
the hand that rocks the cradle and
the teacher in the school room are
fathers to- the nation There IS
great deal said today about the mod
ell school room. A mode teacher
on one end of log and and an anX-
ious boy on the other end is a model
school.
There are many avOcations to
which men and women have devoted
themselves, but there is no business
or ca,l.Ip on part with that # teach
ing in nobility and usefulness.
Many of our people, and teachers
themselves. in many instances do not
realize such to be the real conditions
of the teachers calling. The teacher
in any community should be the mo-
tive power, in uplifting humanity in
culture and refinement. Some of the
most impractical of visionary dreams,
and the most tiresOme Of moss-backs
as well as the latest models Of fash
iOnplates are in our school rooms.
You may not be born teacher. Few
persons are. He who thinks teach
ing is simply imparting or explain
ing the text books to children, has a
very low conception of the great call
ing OF r teachea The love of teach
ing, inspiration and enthusiasm that
fires the very soul Of a live teacher
will move the life and character of
his pupils to strive for the greater
| and nObler things Of life. Common
sense, health, and religion are among
| the fundamentals of successful
| teacher, with these others will follow.
| Whatever else the teacher may lack,
| his. character must be above suspi
ciOn, unquestiOned and unmpeacha-
| bic If he is to be a. model after
which our boys and girls, the most
priceless products of the nation, are
TO shape their lives, he must in all
! things be a worthy model. The puri-

| the child-mind Character and TepU-
tation that will stand the searchlight
of the X-Ray without showing a flaw,
| this, and this alone, is the true teach
err the builder and architect of i'm
mortal minds.
The successful teacher must not only
know the Esubject matter, the text
books, but the beings he is to put
this matter into. The child must be
an open book for his daily study. He
must know the action of the child
mind Growing minds alone can
| teach If after a fair trial, he does
not love teaching, quit at once. No
one is to teach who does not have
love for teaching. Nothing can be
more cruel than to have children shut
up in the school all day under the
chilling, blighting influence of a So
called teacher long since dead to the
beauty Of nature and sympathy of
childhood Teaching is the enthusiasm
created in the minds of the pupils to

rounds of the press. We are threat
ened with an ice famine of huge pro-
portions, and there is feared in ad-
dition to the discomfort, much loss
of life as a result of that famine.
If there is such danger, it should
have been brought to public; atten-
ton months ago. There could, have
been much building of ice machines,
and there could have been speeding
up of the machines that were avail
able. Measures could have been
taken everywhere, that, first of all,
those should get the ice who are in
the greatest need Of it.
There really ought to abe no
danger, at least nothing worse than a
alight inconvenience should threat
en-. 1t is foregOne conclusion that
when the supply is properly used for
those in greatest need, there Will be
sufficient for all.
And as to all. others, what did we
do in the early days? What did the
people farther south do, who had
no artificial ice, because the process
had not been developed and who had
no natural supply that could be
stored up?
It is again the luxury of yesterday
that has become the necessity or to-
day. But for one season we ought
to be able to put up with little dis
comfort and to get along with a very
limited supply or, If necessary, with
no ice. What the pioneers did, that
we can do.-Burlington Hawkeye.
