IS NOT FEELING WELL.
The clam juice that the editor
of the Whiteborse Star indulged ia
upon liis recent trip to Seattle ev
idently soured upon and disarrang
ed an otherwise normally healthy
stomach, for ever since his return
he has apparently been in a peev
ish and fault-finding mood. Only
last week he referred to Skagway,
in an article in his paper on the in
ternational bowling tournament, as
a "decadent Villa.", and this week
has another spasm over R. C.
Long's acceptance of a position as
news agent on the W. P. & Y.
train between Skagway and White
liorse. The Star of yesterday said:
"If "Butch" has any time ou Uis
hands after selling the Daily Alas
kan and the Carcross Chooutla
Northern Light, the later publica
tion appealing every throe months,
the management of this great fam
ily journel may endeavor to have
it added to his list of wares. While
w© do not desire to discourage
"Butch" in any way, we would ad
vise him to keep his optics peeled
for a better job—something like
scratching gravel for blind chick
ens or canning summer air for
use in winter."
Each State Should Put Aside $ 1,000,000
Loan Fund to Aid New Farmers
By D. B. CORNELL. Agricultural Expert
E hear that New York state is going to spend twenty-five thousand
dollars IN LECTURES TO AID THE FARMERS. The
best step it could take would be to keep the monev in a bank
and LOAN IT ON MORTGAGES TO HONEST YOUNG MEN
WHO WISH TO FARM.
If each 9tate would loan to prudent young men and families money
to assist them in getting by the first year in starting a farm it would
soon reduce the high cost of living.
THE "BACK TO THE FARM" MOVEMENT IS ONfe OF THE MOST IM
PORTANT PROBLEMS THAT WE HAVE TO FACE TODAY. MANY
THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE STAND READY TO BUY. BUT ARE SHORT OF
FUNDS. THEY HAVE NOT ENOUGH TO BUY WITH SAFETY AND TO
INVEST UNTIL THE INCOME WOULD PAY THE EXPENSES OF LIVING
AND RUNNING THE FARM. EACH STATE SHOULD LAY ASIDE AT
LEAST $1,000,000 TO ASSIST NEW FARMERS. THE MONEY SHOULD EE
USED ONLY FOR LOAN PURPOSES, BECAUSE THAT WOULD BENEFIT
THE BUYER MOST.
There are thousands who wish to GKT RID OF CONGESTED
CITY LIFE, but they have enly two hundred to live hundred dollars
in savings to purchase a farm and equip it. Our experience with the
farmer has been that hardly any one will take tliroe hundred to live
hundred dollars down. But something must be done in that direction
in order to get those terms or a loan from the stnte to ns^ist in starting
a farm. v

GROUPS of hieroglyphs. That
is what the young of this
present day study. Here is
an object. I place it. in the hands
of a child. I tell him to look at it.
If we begin before we have HARD
ENED AND DRIED HIS MIND
he studies that object with kindling
enthusiasm.
The mind of the child i3 natural
ly active. Why should we make
him take his impressions of things
through the ear when he may be
able to see? The child is a NAT
URAL BORN RUBBERNECK.
His curiosity is alert Give him the '
chance and he will learn. One
glance, if he sees the thing itself,
i is better than two hours of study
; ing about a thing which he does not
■ sec.

"Oft THEMSELVES ALONE; WHAT

This matter of education is a big
question for the American people.
It is of the utmost importance that
EVERY FACULTY SHOULD
MEET ITS ENVIRONMENT.
What is the use of crowding the
mind with facts which cannot be
utilized by the child becanse the
method of their acquisition is dis
tasteful to him.
THE TROUBLE WITH OUR WAY
OF EDUCATING AS GENERALLY
FOLLOWED IS THAT IT DOES NOT
GIVE ELASTICITY TO THE MIND.
IT CASTS THE BRAIN INTO A
MOLD. IT INSISTS THAT THE
CHILD MUST ACCEPT. IT DOES
NOT ENCOURAGE ORIGINAL
THOUGHT Oh REASONING. AND
IT LAYS MORE STRESS ON MEM
ORY THAN ON OBSERVATION.
The result of accepting unrelat
ed facts FOSTERS CONSERVA
TISM. It breeds fear, and FROM
FEAR COMES IGNORANCE.
The seeing of things in the making
i3 what counts. Then the mind can
approach the gaining of knowledge
without prejudice.
