HERDS in ARCTIC.
SAYS STEFANSSON
Explorer Predicts Far North
Will Raise Meat for
America.

The Polar regions are warm in
summer and cold in winter in mucn
the same way as the lands Of the
North Temperate zone.
They have millions OF acres of
prairie covered with flowers and
with grasses on which thousands
of animals Craze.
The Far North is not a land Of
eternal silence. Instead the air is
hlled in summer with the cries of
millions OF birds and in winter with
the booming of cracking ice.
These are some OF the facts which
must be substituted for popular
according to vilh-
jalmur Stefsnsson, who lectured at
the Masonic Temple last evening
before members of the National Ge-
ographic Society.
The time will soon come, Mr..
Stefansson predicted, when large
herds OF reindeer and musk oxen
will be raised on the Polar prai-
ries and their meat shipped to
Southern Canada and the United
States as an important addition t.
the American food supply. He
pointed out that reindeer meat I,
nov shipped from Alaska to Wash
ington restaurants, and that In
Stockholm, where such meat has
been on the market for half a cen.
tury, 1t sells for IS per cent more
than beef
Mr.. Stefansson was introduced by
Frederick v. Coville. of the board
of trustees of the National Geo.
graphic Society, who announced
that the society has awarded Mr..
the Grant Squires prize
in recognition Of the value of his
book, The Friendly Arctic

TEACHERS To PUSH
PAY MEASURE
President of Council Urges
Personal Appeal to
Legislators.

Plans for campaign for the
teachers salary measure were pre-
sented by Allan Davis. president OF
the Teachers Council at Teachers
Institute, at Central High School
yesterday.
Davis urged every teacher who
was persc nally acquainted with a
Representative or Senator TO pre-
sent the. plan to the legislator.
we don't want to worry the men
on the HILL" Davis declared, but
We want to bring direct personal
contact to bear on the salary bill"
Advises Against Amendment.
That the teachers should accent
the bill as formulated was the rec
ommendation Of James LIoyd sec
retary OF the Board of Education.
Lloyd urged the teachers. who
crowded the hall to overfiowing,
that they refrain from introducing
amendments to the bill, and so
jeopardize the entire measure.
The clear consistent perception
of a great common purpose is the
backbone Of morale" declared Will
lam Z. Foster, director of the Pol
lack Foundation for Economic Re-
search, in a discussion of the mo-
rale of the school.
Purpose Must Dominate.
Training in the technique Of
fighting Is useless without the will
to fight" said Foster "a teacher
can be no better than his domi-
nant purpose, and his interest in
his job. He must have: a concep-
tion OF the bigness' OF his under
taking instead of a mere UNDER
standing of technique.

1t lacks the quickening touch Of

that Long is the man who wrote

What will eventually be done
with him I cannot say at this time;
however, I shall have several con-
ferences with Department bf Jug

question by stating that in ten years
Canada absorbed into her Northwest
ern provinces 45o, 900 OF the choicest
farm settlers from our Western
States. She also shows that Ameri-
cans are interested in the Dominion's
natural resources, such as wood pulp,
minerals, oil and coal. But the bur-
den of her plaint is that American
interest in these matters is only
occasional, when money can be made
quickly, and she wants us to make
our interest more deep seated, long
continuing than this. She sets down
some extraordinary statistics about
the resources of the Canadian North
west in the way of oil and coal and
declares that Canada holds the fu-
ture oil resources of the world.
Again she asks, "Is Canada stallins
to-day?" and answers this by show
ing that the Dominion, west of Que
bee Province, is not utilizing her re-
sources to their full value. She
shows how the Canadian national
parks could be developed cheaply.
thereby adding much wealth 10 the
country through tourist traffic; how
Canada is losing enormous sums of
money by not establishing coopera-
tive measures in handling her natu-
raj products; and how the Dominion
is putting up bars against foreign
capital by locking up our national
resources so tightly that they don't
yield returns" Miss Laut also pro-
tests strongly against the Dominion
habit of knocking" the national
railways, making comparison between
them and the early days of our own
Santa Fe and Pennsylvania railroads
and the first years Of the c. j. r.
If mistakes have been made in the
building of the national roads, she
declares, the thing to do it TO forget
them and make the best of them as
they are.
The two chapters on the work of
the Soldiers Settlement Board, the
organization charged with caring
for former soldiers who wish TO be-
come farmers, are extremely inter
esting and should hearten all those
who believe that the back TO the
land" movement is one Of the great
est saving graces of the world to-
day. Slap dash and slangy though
it be, Miss Laut's volume is decid-
edly readable and Informative. 1t

INTERVENTION IN INTERNA-
TIoNAL LAW. BY Ellery C. stowell.
John Byrne & Co.
r INTERVENTION is one of the
great problems of modern times
The world is so interlocked by
modern economics that a single ex-
plosion in some remote corner of the
globe may send the myriad soldiers
Of a score of nations to sizzle in he'll.
Hence no country can be completely
isolated and aloof from its neighbors.
MIR. Stowell has performed a valuable
service in his study Of intervention.
He is especially slSillful in finding
the real definitions which lie at the
bottom of the legal quibbles. lie ex-
plains the why and how of interven-
ton very thoroughly. lie gives ex-
amples of various kinds.
Most of his Illustrations are drawn
from the history Of the United States,
but he neglects to quote the most re-
cent exalnple-our interference in
Haiti.
lie says: "The real value of any
system of law depends upon the ef-
ficiency of its machinery Of enforce
ment. The legal maxim, no right
without q remedy. applies also to the
law Of nations, which Is not with
out remedies to protect rights from
injuries. They are not, 1t is true,
the same as those employed in our
municipal law, for the law of nations
controls individuals through their
Governments, which it holds respon-
