The previous record for boats of this

Money Value of Education
Is Hard to Estimate

tion is more difficult to calculate, be-
cause SO much has to be unlearned be-
fore the graduate is worth anything in

terms the improvements that he would

teach pupils to spell; to write legible

it's kind In the world, roams in nat

buffalo, or rather bison. for this ami

bison, species peculiar to the land.
The bison park comprises 1855
square miles. situated near the town
of Wainwright, close to the main line
of the Canadian National Railway.
The park is Enclosed by a galvanized
steel wire fence rs miles long, Q feet
high and requiring to construct $4,000
posts and 100 miles of wire. AS a

of ground twenty feet wide Is plowed
on either side of the fence. The land
is we'll wooded and watered by many
small lakes, providing the exact coun-
try which the buffalo lived in before
the white man came.
According to a census of the herd
Just taken there are now 5000 head Of
buffalo in the Enclosure. In 1910 the
herd numbered $50. From this 1t will
be seen that in twelve years the ami
mails have increased eight times their

public education in the last twenty
five years-not to go back of the ex-

adult generation. There is not one of
those important developments which
make up the educational progress of
the last quarter century that does not
represent a business demand, that does
not maintain itself and justify itself

material prosperity.

Cattalo New Meat Bearing Animal for Mans Consumption

OF Canada, in the vicinity of Fort
Smith, between Lake Athabasca and
Great Slave Lake. This survived in
spite Of the Indians and the wolves.
Of recent years it has been protected
by the Government and is now be-
lieved to number between 400 and 600.
Another herd was in Montana the
property of an illiterate but shrewd
Mexican halfbreed, Michael Pablo by
name. From this latter herd has arisen
the great one in the Canadian park to-
day. More wonderful still the herd
of Pablo, which were eventually
found to number 716, were directly
due to four buffalo calves, two males
and two females, being saved by
Pend d'Oreille Indian from destruc-
ton in 1875. These he gave to his
father-in-law. The herd of a dozen
head were purchased by Pablo for a
few hundred dollars half dozen years
later. He left the animals to run wild
on the Pend d'Oreille reserve.
In 1907 the United States Govern
Tent decided to throw open the reserve
| for settlement, and so Pablo was forced
to consider the future of his herd. He
offered to sell it to the United States
Government, but in spite Of the sale
being strongly supported by Theodore
Roosevelt and others interested in the
preservation of natural wild life Con-
gress refused to sanction the pur-
chase.
Pablo then offered the herd to the
Canadian Government, and the pur-
chase was completed. Pablo had never
given the herd any particular atten-
! ton. The animals had roamed the

here given.
From this story better realization
may be gained how great has been the
work accomplished by the Canadian
Government, a work, the far reaching
beneficial results of which are now
beginning to show and which the Of
ficials in charge are seeking to ex-
tend in every way
When the nineteenth century
opened there were no buffalo east of
the Mississippi, for already a huge
demand for robes had arisen in Eu-
rope. BY 1850 the wedge of settlement
had divided the buffalo into two prin-
cipal herds-the southern and north
ern. ThSgold rush to California, the
building of the Southern Pacific and
other railroads quickly brought about
the extinction of the southern herd
By 1873 the last of the northern herd
went south from Saskatchewan in a
last endeavor to avoid being wiped
out. In 1880 the Northern Pacific
opened up Montana, giving access TO
the northern herd. For the next three
years the annual shipment of hides
was 100000 from this territory. By
1885 this had dwindled to zero. Only
one small band escaped just when and
from where drifting 1t is not known.
To-day the descendants of this herd
roam the far northern reaches be-
tween Lake Athabasca and Great
Slave Lake.

with various domestic COWS he sue

Department Of Agriculture purchased
from his estate twenty head of
hybrids and cattaloes. These were
brought to Wainwright Park and
placed In an Enclosure adjoining the
buffalo range.

of two hybrids. Both Of this new race

them valuable animals to foster. The
hides are Of fine texture, mingling

for coats and robes, commanding from
$50 to 500, according to size and con-
dition. 1t is hoped in the near future
to place them upon the market.

to sportsmen on the North American

but the truth: possibility for the

For now there is not only great

Rounded Up in 1907
And Shipped to Canada
Early in the summer Of 1907 Pablo
got a collection of the best riders and
horses and started to round up his
buffalo. The buffalo outran the
swiftest horses, and, when cornered,
many Of the old bulls turned and
charged, forcing the pursuers to scat
ter to save their lives. In spite of this,
the men succeeded in loading on trains
four hundred and eleven, mostly cows
and calves. Next year in the autumn
the last of the band, mostly bulls,
were rounded up in corral. But in
the night the animals broke out, and
by climbing an almost sheer precipice
broke away to the mountains.
The next year they were again cap
tured; this time each animal was
shipped in great cage from the point
of capture to the railway station at
Ravalli, Mont. 1t took nine DAYS to
load the two hundred-the widest and
strongest of the herd Eight of them
killed themselves in their struggles
while they were being dragged aboard
the cars with block and tackle. The

quent poor quality of instruction;
over the meager and uncertain knowl-
edge that even our high school grad
yates bear away with them. The gen.
eral public, even, Is beginning to show
evidences of some little real concern
over these matters. This is well; 1t Is
encouraging, for such serious matters
as these merit the grave concern Of
public and educators alike.
Facts of Education Are
Usually First Considered
But these matters, and many more
like them, with which we are much
engrossed, have to do not with the
color, but with the facts of education.
1.-THE end of education said Sir Auck-
land Geddes, lis to turn out minds
that see facts in a certain color" The
supreme Importance, then, is not in
the facts that we arc striving to teach
our pupils In the first six grades,
where the overwhelming majority of
them are, but in the color in which
their minds are brought to see those
facts.
Without using the term color, which
is valuable only as it serves to arouse
and concentrate attention on the idea
which it wildly represents. we do ap-
proach, frequently even touch the idea,
in our considerations of the place and
the treatment of certain subjects in
the curriculum. ! have In mind espe-
cIally such subjects as practical ethics,
morals or right conduct, whether
taught formally or incidentally, in
deed all that may be included under
character education. civics, history,
literature, the kindergarten largely;
indeed any subject or school exercise
that has or can be made to have an in
fluence in determining the point of
view, mental attitude and character
istic emotional and voluntary reaction
of the pupil.
In our contentious for the introduce
ton into the curriculum of new sub
jects of this kind and Of the modifi-
cation of old subjects, perhaps through
the reshaping of emphasis or re-
to different treatment of these sub
jects we are continually striving to
introduce new pigments, or different
proportions of old pigments, into the
color of our education. For it is OBJ
vious that, in matter so complex as
education. many pigments must enter
into the color.
But this is as far as we ever go in
dealing with the color OF our educa-
ton: we stop with the detailed pig
ments that we think should be rep
resented.
But what Of the color the deep fun
