"Our present hitrh school curri
culum ig clattered with all sorts
or subject# that giva knowledge
about themselves, but h-'ve never
proved their usefulcess. in life,"
ssl<? J. R. Jewell, dean of the I'ai
versity of Arkansas, in au adidress
before a meeting o£ the Inland Em
Dire Teachers' association at Sl'v>k
ane reotuitly. }[a said in part:
"The present hitch school ourrl"
culuta is the shelter of many subject
th's' have never bieii able to give
a better reason for their existence.
Worse, it U the shelter of the poor
est teaching we have, it ta teaching
about, certain, subject^ instead of an
enlivened teaching \>£ the subject,
'i'h# poorest course 1 t*v*.r lia\»- had
myself, wag labelled Bo»auy. It
»'a# mislabelleU, howe\er, for it was
a course about Botany and not of
Botany. I guspect that English is,
lb* mope poorly taught subject in
our secondary schools and that Auj;
mentation ia the nu>st poorly taught j
division of that subject, though Ex
position, would give it a hard race
for laet place. That is because
th® average teacher teaches about
Augmentation, and) Exposition and
does not teach the subjects them
jeivua.
".Not aHO 1 Visited a lanious
classical high school in an eastern
eity, aud in an English r'.\>in saw a
list of 4u dates in Chaucer's life
given a class to commit to memory.
Knowledge, again ug dry as dead,
men's bones. Th^ poorest single
recitation I ever saw in a certain
If rest state in one of the better
high school^ w here the teacher con
sumed' almost the wholQ period, dis
cussing before th® class whether or
not Grey knew what he was about
whea he made the second line of
his Elegy in a Country Churchyard
read "The lowing- herd winds slowly
o'er tie lea," instead of "wind''—
lu «bort, whether or not herd is
a collective noun or so takes a
singular verb.
"Worse than all else today, false
eaaplu^ia on knowledge, hag brought
about au equally false distinction
between so- "classes" who know
and BO-callvtj "washes" who perhaps
hay* not go much knowledge, but
who are doers in thig work a day
world of ours. It is this theory .of
education that is at the bottom of
much of our social unrest.
"But wa have made progress, for
tt id now th© accepted belief that
annual training, well taught, makes
good habits, of thought, and here
1ULEF HIM lit
i« finds Its excuse for existence ra
ttier thau as & preparation for a life
of carpentry, which it certainly is
not. It is valuable to have this on
study in the curriculum in which
a boy cannot cheat of bluff. If
hla corners £v> not fit they do not ^
fit, here there aj-e positive standards
of comparison."

What Good Is Thej

"Now what pood' is the robin? ]
Everybody .knows the robin. A
boy came along theroad with a .22)
rilP, saw a robin sitting there, and j
kilitrf it. I went over and picked!
th» robiu up. Two cutworms were j
squirming on the ground; thej
robin had bad) them in his beak. I
held thhe bird up, and two more!
fell out of hie mouth. Remeimo j
o* cut worm will out down five torn

worm does bis work an-d then hides |

New Company
Will Operate
A new mining company lias se*
cured control of a long stretch, of
tL« best gold bearing claims ou
Hiprhliet creek, in the upper Stewart
river district, according to the
Dawson daily News of today, and is
preparing to place a <3r< dg)o on tl
properititf) immediately. The steam
driven, five aud a half cubic foot
bucket dredge which was owned and
operated on the Stewart river by
the old Stewart Riv«r company has
been secured. It will ba transfer
red to Higliet as soon as the river
OWIIH.
Louis Titus and Aivhkf McVie;lr,
stated -Mr. Titus today, comprise
the new concern. Both are old
time dredge men in this region. Mr«
Mc Vicar was one of the successful
early d<ay operators on Bonanza
creek, and was associated with the
Lewes River dredge, the first dredge
in the Klondike camp. Jlr Titus
has been connected with, dredging
here for many years, and! for a long
time wag superintendent of tha Can
adian Klondike Mining company's
bif dredges and other works. lie
was with that company when it
started its first dredge at Bear
creek, years ago. During the win
ter he made several trips from Paw
on to Highhet and &ecure$ control
of the ground on the creek and madl
other arrangements for the start
ing of the new company. He is in
I>awson now, busy on his plans, and
will leave in a few days for Highet.
Tho dredge was built in Scot
land, and is s^Wi to be a first
cla s machine in every respect.
It has been lying at the mouth of
the McQuesten. river for gome
rime.
Highet creek has been one of
the be®* steady producing creek's in
the Yukon valley outside of the
Immediate vicinity of Dawson. Un
der the individual process it has
yielded many hundreds of thousands
o' dollars. It is 6aid to be favor
pblp in every way for profit
abl dredging. The creek is a trib
utary of Minto creek, which flows
In the Mayo river, which in turn
flows into the Stewart river near
Mayo City. •

THOMAS O. NEIBOUR,
Private, Company M, 167th
Infantry.
Private Neibour. whose home
Is at Sugar City, Idaho, was dec
orated for conspicuous gallantry
in action near Landres-et-St.
Georges, France, October 16,
1918. On the afternoon of Oc
tober 16, when the Cote de Cha
tlllen had just been gained after
bitter fighting, and the summit
of that strong bulwark In the
krienhilde Stellung was being
organized, Private Neibour was
sent out on patrol with his au
tomatic rifle squad to enfilade
enemy machine gun nests. As
Private Neibour gained the ridge
he set up his automatic rifle and
was directly thereafter wounded
In both legs by fire from a hos
tile machine gun on his flank.
The advance wave of the enemy
troops counter-attacking had
about gained the ridge and al
though practically cut off and
surrounded, the remainder of
his detachment being killed or
wounded, this gallant soldier
kept his automatic rifle In oj>
eration to su~'i effect that by
his own efforts and by fire from
the skirmish line of his com
pany at least 100 yards in his
rear, the attack was cheeked.
The enemy wave being halted and
lying prone, four of the enemy
attacked Private Neibour at
close quarters. These he killed.
He then moved along among the
enemy lying on the ground about
i him, in the midst of the lire
i from his own lines, and by his
i coolness and gallantry captured
( eleven prisoners at the point of
' his pistol and, although pain
i fully wounded, brought them
! back to our lines. The counter
i attack In full force was arrest
| ed, to a large extent, by the
i single efforts of this soldier,
; whose heroic exploits took place
: against the skyline in full view
[ of his entire battalion.
