THE HOME

WE are accustomed to hearing
w the phrase, "Woman's place
is in the home" And we have
heard it so often that we have
come to believe it implicitly. 1t
seems quite the most natural
thing in the world that father
morning while mother remains
home to tend to the baby. Very
often father scarcely sees his child
except on week-ends until he is
quite a big boy.
But things are different in other
parts of the globe. In the South
Sea zone of the great Pacific,
among a group Of islands known
by the collective name OF Micro
nesia. there is a small group
called the Marshall Islands Until
very recently these islands were
the property of Germany, but
they have now passed into the
hands Of Japan.
Although the missionaries who
first visited these islands some
fifty years ago reported that the
natives We're complete savages,
living under matched roofs sup
ported by four poles and wearing
no clothes. one fact remains that
these people had navigated over
the Pacific for several centuries.
In their great canoes, with sails
of palm leaves and with charts
made Of twigs tied together, they
visited all the islands Of their
vicinity. The twigs indicated TO
them the islands. the tides and
the general directions.
Times have changed to a great
degree in the past so years, but
one curious custom of the Mar
shall Islanders remains undis-
turbed. The men Of the islands
do not work. They do not be-
lieve in work, they are not ac-
custOmed to it or trained to it,
and they do not do it. They
prefer to take care of the babies.
while the women perform what
work there is to be done. such
as raising and preparing the food
and weaving the rugs or making
the tapestries and the baskets
for which the island is known.
And this custom still exists.
although the islands have adopted
civilization to the extent of wear
ing clothes and even using ma
chinery in some cases. The chief
even dictates to a stenographer,
who transcribes on type WRITER
held between his knees on the
floor.

Making School Life q Pleasure

when you go to bat you ami at
arithmetic examples instead Of
ball"
No more exciting games were,
ever played on the school grounds
than those played in that class
room with arithmetic. Before
long the boys were telling each
other: Take your mental arith-
metic home and study. man,
studyr'
The interest aroused by that
game was transferred to other
subjects, and those boys engaged
in all manner of games and con-
tests. wherein spelling or history
or geography lessons held the
center of the stage.
Along in the springtime Miss
Coleman's pupils began challeng-
ing other grades. They won every
match over other fifth grades
and then beat the sixth grade
boys in tbe same subjects. BY
that time they were beginning to
feel so proud Of their record that
they were positively chesty about
it. And in the whole school there
was not a more gentlemanly,
orderly crowd OF boys than that
same fifth grade.
Boys are not naturally outlaws
or idIers. They are; moreover,
quite anxious to get knowledge
that will help them make a sue
cess in business, though some
times they are ashamed to admit
it.. IL they have real honest-to-
goodness leadership, any boys in
any locality are more than willing
to fall in line and march onward
toward victory.

among the Indians Of the Glacier
National Park reservation, has a
fine sense Of the uplifting. spirit

that the Indian who offends must
be punished only to the end of

many redeemed Indians on the
reservation instead Of perpetual
offenders.
This indian judge literally
makes 'em lift themselves by

Of acres of their own land. Their
evidence OF self-support makes
them free and honored citizens OF
the community. Keeping them in

OF dealing out this kind OF JUS
tice. which makes it effective with
