Under the leadership Of
President Roosevelt the Ameri-
can people will celebrate dur.
ing the year 1885 three cen.
turies of progress in secondary
school education in the United
States.
This celebration will center
in the high schools of the
country which will commem-
crate the founding in 1885 of
the first American school of
secondary grade. This was the
Boston Latin School. 1t was
established one year before the
founding of the Presidents
Alma Mater, Harvard Univer-
Sity.
A committee appointed by the
department of secondary school
principals of the National Edu.
cation Association has been
planning for the last four years
a national celebration of this
event. All high schools will be
urged to take part by presenting
to local communities, North,
East, South and West, a graphic
portrayal of the contribution
which the household of the ma
ton owes to its high schools.

c. o. Davis, professor If Sec
ondary education at the Uni
Versity of Michigan, is general
chairman of the tercentenary
celebration committee, from re-
ports received from various sub
committees which are working
on plans for the observance of
this anniversary, is convinced
that every high school in the
country will take part.
High School teachers and
pupils all over the country have
been invited to help in the prep
arations for this celebration and
the part which the Federal Gov.
ernment will take is now under
consideration.
There are many things the
Federal Government could do in
connection with this observance
that would help to make it
truly national and worthy of
the event it will commemorate.
For one thing it might offer to
build a suitable home for the
Federal Office of Education.
This important agency is now
housed in a rented building in
which it has recently been as

from adequate.

The Human Side of the News
Seal Hunters Risks Great, Pay Small
Bu Edwin C.. Hill

But sometimes the seal-hunt-
ers who take to the ice-floes, do
not get back to the ship. There
is the story of the crew of the
Greenland, 48 men were frozen
to death in a blizzard in 1898,
and the tale of the fate which
befell the IT of the Newfound-
land in 1914. Fire, ice and snow
are ever-present perils. Seven
out of ten of the sealing ships
make the one trip too many
from which they never return.
Let us turn now to another
ocean, to another drama put on
by Mother Nature and to the
seal of the North Pacific, the
true fur-seal, which gives the
ladies their sealskin coats. The
herds are on their way back to
the rookeries of the Pribiloff
Islands in Bering Sea. Where
they have been all winter, no
one knows, but they have been
far south and now, driven by
mysterious instinct, they are re.
turning to their breeding
grounds in the north. And with
them travels the Alaskan patrol
of the United States Coast
Guard to see them safe from
marauderS.
Almost too late did the gov.
ernment step in to save the seal
from extinction. Scarcely more
than one hundred thousand ami
mails were left in 1911 from the
millions of 1870. Piracy, battles
and In t rn t i o n al disputes
marked the rivalry of the Amer
lean, British, Russian, japanese
and Canadian fur-hunters, while
the Wanton decimation of the
nerds went on. But the treaty
OF 1911 stopped all this. No
longer was the Alaskan seal coat
to be the common badge of af.
tluence for Main Street and
Broadway. Uncle Sam took the
seal under his protection and
has seen to it since, that he goes
unmoleSted up and down the
Pacific. And the result has been
mat his number has increased
almost tenfold.
Entaralling Mystery
AS I write, more than a
million of the fur-bearers are
making their way from the
nalmy waters of the tropics to
their rendezvous in Bering Sea
Along the 3,O0O-mile highway
OF the sea, the Coast Guard is
thelr close protector. Once on
the rocks of Pribiloff, the giant
ouIl seals will set up their
homes and jealousy guard their
narems. The pups will be born,

e!or class. Uncle Sam marks
tnese 10000 out and hires 300
Aleut trlbesmen to kill them
and turn them into a million
dollars worth of fur.
But all the hardships and
adventure and desperate chances
OF seal-hunting are as nothing
compared to the marvellous
epic of the seal himself, the
story OF how his instinct car
RES him up and down the
world in his seasons, from
Pole to Pole, but returning
always to the same nurseries,
as certain as the stars in their
courses, one of the enthralling
mysteries of the life the Creator

Arctic in ships are coming
home. The shrill sounds of the
sirens are flung back in echoes
from the sides of Signal Hill
and South Side Hill, as, one
by one, the sealers break
through the ice of the Mar
rows, steer true between Chain
and Pancake Rocks and sail
into the land-locked harbor of
st. Johns far off in New
foundland, the most easterly
city of our continent.
There has been jubilation
along Water Street and the
wharves of old st. Johns, this
season. For the pelts are
many, more than 100000, a
record catch by the little fleet
of eight ships. And the man
of the hour is bronze, trim
bearded Capt. Abram Kean,
who, man and boy for 50 years,
has sailed the North seas.
King of Hunters
Captain Abram, approaching
his eightieth birthday, has re-
turned with his millionth seal
and is the king of the sealing
masters. No doubt about that.
No one has ever come near
his record, climaxed when he
sailed the Beothic to her dock,
beneath the black cliffs, with
47,O00 pelts aboard, making his
lifetime kill, one million, seven
thousand seals.
Great risks and small pay
such is the lot of the seal
hunter, and such it has been
since Elizabethan days. Into
. one month, each year. he
crowds adventure and hard
snip enough to do an ordinary
man a lifetime. And if his pay
for that month is $125 he has
had a good season. And he is
counted fortunate if he gets
one-third Of that sum. Giants
of men, they look ponderous
and slow in their boots, heavy
clothing, and caps which cover
their ears. And yet bred into
them by generations, which
have wrestled with seals on
cakes of ice, is the agility of
acrobats.
They set out, $50 of them to
a shlp-an old steel tramp, or
stoutish bark of oak and iron
in mid-March for the ice
floes off the coast of Labrador.
They have only from the fif-
teenth of that month until the
first of May to get their seals,
with Sundays excepted, because
no killings are permitted on
the Sabbath and each ship has
parson aboard who sees to
1t that this restriction is obeyed.
The herds of seals have pre-
ceded them to the north. These
mammals travel in great migra-
tions, coming south in the fall
10 IedSC upon mllllonS Of cod on
the Grand Banks and starting
back for the Arctic in Fabru-
ary. And it is during this re-
turn that the young are born,
altogether in the space of two
days around the 28th of Feb
ruary. And this breeding sea-
son, which occurs on the ice
floes off the Labrador coast,
is the killing season for the
Sealers. The young ones are
the rich prizes, because of the
thick layer of pure white fat
which is found under their
hides. The North Atlantic
seal has no fur value. He is
hunted for the leather tannery
and not to adorn a shop win
dow, or a lady's back.
