SCHOOL FOR MARRIAGE
American colleges offer an cxcel
lent opportunity for training young
women for the responsibilities of
~matrimony, believes Miss Jean Ham
ilton, Dean of 'Women at the Univer
‘sity of Michigan. ' |
",'flgf‘mverage girl goes to ('Oll('g(‘
knowing she probably will marry, and
Miss. Hamilton asks, in view of this
why. they seek this additional and
i 'hfl\”‘w unlesg ‘it will bene
%flm veun " /"
“The réaa(;n." ghe said, “is that one
of the great nccessities of life i
work. Even if a woman is ‘so for
tunate’ as to have only play in her
iife, she ha: to make work of that
play. The nature of woman's Work
has changed #on in the last three
gencrations that to be prepared for
the majority of the interesting forms
of work possible to a woman today,
she must be trained in a new way.
“Work for women has gone ont
side the home—man took it out. It
is a modern, man-made joke when a
wife was said to “sing about her work’
for a skeptic to ask, ‘What work?
Women know that there is much work
still left at home, but it is only a
fraction of what once was there, ‘
“The number of Hclf-supporlhmj
women in the United States has in
creased fourteen percent in ten
years, Decidedly, the preparation ot
h's daughter to earn capably must be
in the mind of every intelligent and
just parent. 'This is the chief reason
ghe number of women secking higher
cducation has so increased.”
This preparation to earn a living,
Miss Hamilton added, does not elimi
nate the “old cultural appeal’ Form
“orly college women were represented
only by those with “a burning curios.
Ity for intellectuality.” This group
still exists, she said, and the others
have been added. : i |
3 T‘."l‘:here is this advantage,” Miss
iiahfllton :‘()milllll’(l, “many girls wlm‘
naver were ‘exposed’ to cultural iu-i
fluences a generation ago and whu}
never awakened to the joy of usin}.‘}
thelr minds, are awakened today, al ‘
thopgh they may have come to the
university for economic reasons.” !
MORE OF THE FAR NORTH |
The discoveries of Commander Don
ald MacMillan in his four years in
the White North do not include the
"Pole but he has attained twenty-one
'éhje'cl's which affect the maps of the
b\vm'l(l.
When the explorer leaves this
month to lead another expedition in
to the Polar regions, his ambition wil’
be to make more of this uncharted
area a matter of white man’'s record
MacMillan's recent book shows he
has discovered Crocker Land. Te has
found evidence of a new land far
the west of his last camp on the Pol
ar Sea. Surveys of previously unex
plored areas have hrought much sig
nificant matter to light while the dis
covery of coal in Bay Fiord and hi
finding of records of the Kane am
second Grinnell expedition, added fur
ther credit to his work. Another fea
ture has been his extensive centribu
tion in the fields of geology, botany
ornithology and meteorology.
MacMillan also has done man’
h,tl_lings for the inhabttants of that land
',’p.niong which was his aid in compiling
“a dietionary of 3000 words of the Es
-guimo language.
The itinerary of the expedition
which sails June 19 from Wiscaciot
Maine, includes twenty stops on
voyage of about 5.600 miles. Th
Bowdoin, smallest ship ever taken in
o Arctic waters, will have a crew
nd persornel of but ten men, cuu.h
f whom will take his turn at the
vheel,
One of the chief purposes of this
wxpedition is to survey the Norde
ruing in Labrador, which are located
m Turnitvick island, The trip is fi
nanced by I H., Rawson, Chicage
hanker, and made in the interests of
he Field Museum of Natural History,
Commander MacMillan gives an ink
ling of the #pirit which moves the ex
nlorer into the north land,
“The weapons which assail the ex
slorer are extreme temperatures,
cavy snowls, drift, bitter winds,
treacherous thin ice, high pressure
ridges, and often the result it starva
tion, diet, sickness, death,” he =zays.
Through centaries man has strog-
Jded ever and on and out, over the
No-Man's Land, rushing the thin i(!(!;
of leads, scaling towering ice caps,’
taggering along uncharted coasts and
wearily planting his flag upon hither
o unknown truths, glorying in hizs
struggle against the lements for the
wccumulation of knowledge.”
BOATS ON MISSOURI
When the little blue-winged teal
drvst took the water gn the Mis’;m‘x‘ri
dver ages ago, it began hlfit.orj oh
he “Big Muddy” that soon i to see
mother step in its evolution) ! ‘
The Indian with his canoe, the half
divilized voyager with his piroque, the
‘ur trader with his keel boat and the
“dingey” or little steamboat with a
single boiler and engine, successively
toiled up and down the treacherous
river, ecach marking a step forward in
navigation,
The magnificent steamboat of the
50's, that great floating palace that
marked the heydey of steamboating
on the Missouri, held geway for a de
cade or more and with its passing riv
er traffic halted. Now is Lo come the
power boat and string of freight-lad
en barges, This modern means of
*iver commerce is to be made possible
yy a channel improvement program
axtending over five years, wherehy
approximately $2,000,000 will be spent
the first year between Kansas Cily
and St. Louis.
The first attempt to navigite the
Missouri by steam was made in 1819,
It was a hazardous undertaking. Be
sides the danger of the river, which
needed the most skiliiul navigation be
cause of snags, sandbars and tortuous
channel, there was the danger of the
iurking savage, concealed in the grass
along the river banks ready tg open
dre on the boatmen without warning.
The Western Enginecer, a small
steamboat 75 feet long, was the first
to ascend the river as far as Council
Bluffs, which it reached Sept. 17, 1819,
It was built expressly to awe the In
lian, On the bow, rlmning‘; from the
keelson forward, was a large steam
agcape pipe, made in imitation of a
terpent. The pipe was painted black
ind the mouth of it red, and clouds of
iteam belched forth as the little ship
crawled upstream at the rate of three
miles an hour.
The first steamboat to ascend the
river above Council Bluffs was flw!
Yellowstone of the American Fur com
pany, which left St. Louis April 1(:,%
1831, and reached the mouth of the
Bad river in South Dakota, on June 19
The following year the Yellowstone
ascended to the mouth of the \'vllm\'-!
stone river, thus demonstrating the
claim long made by army on;:innm.u.‘j
that. the Missouri was navigable that
far. ' |
Traffic on the “Big Muddy" flour
ished after 1830 ang was at its height
between 1850 and 1860. Lines of no
ble boats plied the stream, making
possible the military and trading
posts of the ever extending frontier.
THE BOY'S CREAT GAME
Amateur baseball, a waning pastime
for more than a decade, is rallying
to resume its place as the great Amer
fcan game. ;
Only about a year ago did the na
tion awaken to the plight of this sport
The sandlots of the cities were sprout
ing apartment houses and the pas
tures of the small towns were growing
up to weeds while American boyhood
abandoned the mitt for the midiron,
he motor car and other implements
of recreation alien to an carlier geu
eration,
But last year saw a turn, The game
got a now footing in amateur circles,
and for the first time in more than
ten years it held its own, This yecar,
wecording to Maj John Griffith of the
National Amateur Athletic Federa
tion, more boys will play bhaseball
than have played the game in any
vear gince the war, Colleges report
od o four percent increase in bases
hall this spring,
The biggest single factor in the
revival of amateur baseball was the
organization of leagues by the Ameri
can Legion for bhoys of seventeen or
under. This movement had ity im.
petus in Scuth Dakota, where 'vonk
McCormick, state legion cominaed
I’«ml'::.cd formation of leazues for L
by cvery pogt in the state. 'ho olan
warg taken up in goveral hundred con
munities of the stat 2, and a thoasad
teams are competing this season for
the state hoys' title, which will \m
determined at a state tournament at
which leading teams will meet, |
The South Dakota plan appealed so
greatly to Legion leaders that the na
tional Legion organization adopted it
at its last convention, and the Legion
is sponsoring bhoys' baseball this Ht’,fl-l
son in'thirty states.
Uliimately the new growth of ama
teur baseball will stimulate the pro-
Tq:widnal sport by providing timber
for the big leagues. ¢
The boys teams which the Legion‘
is sponeoring will have their own
world series thig fall. The two best
teams from ench side of the Mississip
pi river will meet at Philadelphia dir
ing the Legion’s national convention,
to determine the champion.
DON'T DO IT, JOHN.
Valdogta Times:
Chairman John Holder, of the
State Highway Department, has had
enough experience in building roads
to make him an invaluable man in‘
that position. If he has made mi:g
takes, they are but natural and are|
a part of the school of expcrience,}
He has too much sense to make the
same mistakes agais, The schooling
which he has had during the past
few years has been paid for, in a
way, by the people of Georgia. Ie
is ctuirred for the work that has
fallen into his hands. To displace
him, or for him to give up the work
at thiy stage of the game, would be
to turn the work cver to men whe
have had no experience and whe
would have to go through the
“school” themselves. It would ia
volve more mistakes and experi
mentg, which the people of the
state would have to pay for. These
were our views when efforts werce
being made to oust John Holder some
time ago, and we so expresszed them
We should hate to see Chairman
- Holder throw down his present job
to run off in search of the governor-

For that reagon, we hope Chair
man John Holder will torn a deal

been “vindicated” of the charges
which were made against him somc
time ago, and if he will go on with
his road work, completing his prog:
ram, he will get a call for something
higher later on, and he will not have
to get into the rough tumbie figit
to win the reward, His entry into the
race at the present time might dis

status of affairs, but it is doubtfu’
if he would make the landing. Many

training and experience has fitted
him to fill. There are scveral candi
dates in the racer for governor and
his views are well represented. If
he wants to see his politics win, he
might get behind one of the candi
dates and help him out. |
In any event, Chairman Holder is‘
too important a factor in the de
