Mt, Katmai Is Benefactor to Humanity, Says Dr. White
 At Conference In Boston

no loss of life, and the eruption pro yides scientists and geographers now one of their greatest opportunities to study the phenomenon of vol canic action.
 Though generally unaware of the eruption until long after, every in- habitant of the country, and almost of the world, felt its effects, one of which was the cold, damp summer Of 1912. This was caused by the inter ception of sunlight by the long hang ing dust cloud in the upper air. Even it was declared, the sky was over cast.
 An area around Katmai larger than the state of Delaware, was covered that summer by more than a foot of volcanic ash which was enough to destroy all but the hardest of veg citation. When the explosion occurred two cubic miles were blown of the top of the mountain, and the present whereabouts of the mountain top is still a mystery to scientists.
 The Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes, from which arises virtually millions of steam jets scene of unsurpassed awe and beauty, is be- lieved to have been an aftermath of the cataClysm.
 President Wilson turned aside from the stress of war to make this re- zion a national monument second to none in the world. While the coun~ try is so remote that the few white men who have viewed it's wonders have been members of the society's expeditions, the educators were told it is easily accessible from the shel- tered bay christened in honor of the society, and a fifty mile roadway will some day place 1t within the compass of the automobile tourist,

Washington, Sept. 22.-It might be a surprise to many to be told that the fre-spitting, laya-spout- ing. earth-rocking volcano is one Of maukiud's best friends rather than his arch enemy, but such is the surprising declaration which was eX- plained to the conference of geo. graphy of the National Educational Association in Boston last month.
 The most tremendous volcanic eruption of history, that of Mount
 Katmai in Alaska, in 1912, was
 described by Dr. Robert F. Griggs, leader of several parties sent to the
 scene of the cataclasm by othe Ma
 tionaI Geographic society, and who discovered the Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes, Katmars neigh bor wonder of nature.
 Mankiud's debt to the volcano has been more fully recognized by results of recent researches, says a bulletin
 of the society describing the uDheay al. Without volcanoes, it is now be Heved. there would be no ocean, and
 to volcanoes we are indebted for carbon dioxide, without which human | life could not exist.
 1 The explosion of Katmai, the con- | ference was told, was unnoticed be-
 cause 1t was so far from the centers
 of civilization. Had the eruption Oc- cured near New York City, the bull 1 Ietin declares. the suIphurous fumes would have polluted the air every where east of the Rocky mountains: the noise would have reverberated ! like an artillery duel across the l central western states. The lower Hudson itself would have been turn
 ed into a gigantic tomb.

AMERICAN EDUCATION WEEK.

Today begins American Education Week, fostered by the American Legion as a part Of its campaign of Amercanization, and which is being generally observed throughout the nation It's significance has been the subject of proclamations from President Harding and the various State and Territorial execu- tive heads.
 In response question from an interviewer on what is the most important contribution of our schools Will H. Hays, former Postmaster General and head of the national association of motion picture producers and distributors replied that the contribution that outranked everything else is The Desire to Understand" Education, he continued, is not merely the acquiring of information, teaching not merely getting people to remember facts and figures. Education is the process of awakening people to a curiosity about life of filling them with over wheming desire to understand everything with which they in contact that when information is made available, when explanations offered they will be seized on eagerly as material for thinking.
 The school system learning which does not teach proper exercise of the mind does not do more gtuf the minds of it's pupils with information and data relating the subjects in the curricila is failure. The mind of youth is plastic and susceptible to impression. In it, like the of blank of the automatic recording machine, almost any subject may be printed But if the Imprint goes deeper on the mind than the record then educat ion has not been achieved Some teaching goes no further than that It is automatic and requires minimum of effort from both teacher and pupil. In the end,
 
 the beginning for he has not been taught mental digestion which be attained only by proper exer- else of the mind And the first requirement mental exercise is, Mr. Hays expressed it. The Desire to Understand"
 The ceaseleas urge to know the why of common. every day things well the uncommon is behind advancement of all phases Of human life It is at the bottom of all modern civilization with it's conven- fences, comforts, labor saving devices scientific achievements, the conquerng disease and is leading every day into new lines of wider scope the ac- tvties of man.

The Sporting Spirit.
(The Literary KevIew.)

The sporting spirit is more than good humor: it ia the brain in high humor. Some of our best are incapable Of 1t, although when remember Miltons sporting Satan, who threw immortal phrases at the head Of the AllHighest, hesitate to say that deep seriousness IS incompatible with it's manifestation But that Wordsworth, Shelley, and Keats Richardson Iennyson, and D. H. Lawrence lack it entirely is moi to condemn them Nor is the sporting spirit the same as sense of humor, although the two are somewhat intertw1ned. Thomas Hood and Stevenson were br- morous enough, but never possessed it. If they had Hood would not have died punning nor Stevenson lot real women severely aone.
 These honest and somewhat dull United States need more or the sporting spirit in their reading We go so far as to assert that they crave it.

A Feather in Chile's Gap.

 - is contrasts with the attitude of Chile whose representative, Dr. Edwards, by the almost unan- nous vote of the assembly named President thereof This may be accounted victory for South America 1t certainly is a feather in the cap of Chile.
 The third meeting of the League of Nations does not enjoy any other than moral support from the United States. It is felt however, that the powerful republic will yet join and by doing so, determine the action of other countries, including Argentina and Bolivia In his inaugural address Dr. Edwards referred to the coming conference of American states in Santiago de Chile, where, among other things the problem of limitation of armaments will be con sldered Chile and Uruguay known be in favor or this measure. As member of the League of Ma tions Brazil is necessarily committed to it. Curiously enough. the only doubtful factor Is Argentina and if IS worth while recalling the fact that Dr. Avear is convinced believer in the League, it's present and future utility. It is reasonable suppose therefore that Argentina does not intend dstin gush herself by walking out of step with the rest of the nations or south America.
