Bishop Stringer of the Yukon once had quite a perilous journey from the mouth of the Mackenzie River to Dawson City. He was accompanied by another missionary and an Indian guide, 'who fell sick. ,Eventually they Were obliged to bring the Indian back to the camp of his people, and set out alone. Winter came on two weeks earlier than usual that year, and the two missionaries were frozen in some distance to the west of the divide. They decided to go across ’the moun- tains by a pass and proceed overland to the Peel River, so they set out with four days’ provisions, a pair of light blankets, and some spare moose ‘ skin moccasins, after first hanging up their canoe out of the damp. A fog enveloped the Rockies, and they mis- sed the pass. Consequently they had four distinct ranges to climb in the wind and fog, with the thermometer at times down to zero and below. They traveled by compass, cor- rected by the North Star, the varia- tion being the enormous difference. of 45 degrees. Often they were iorcd to camp above the tree line on the slopes in the fog, cold, and wind, without fire and with but 'a light pair of blankets. They ckedout their food supplies by ptarmigan and rabbits supplied by the shotgun. The snow became so deep they were forced to stop and make snowshoes. Theycut spruce saplings down into wands and steam- ed them into shape in their kettle. For webbing they filled them with an old fishnet, strings cut out from the uppers of their worn out moose moccasins and strips of blanket. Twenty-eight days they were on that awful journey. Before they finished they had boiled and eaten their Eskimo seaiskin boots. They struck the Peel River, fell in with a camp of Indians, and were saved. Bishop Stringer had lost fifty pounds on that trip. He rested at the fort for a .little while, and then started home across country by dog-sled with an Indian. mishaps. CORPOR‘AL PUNISHMENT ,Teacher Must be a Psychologist to " Know When to Apply it ' Corporal punishment in schools is a. subject which is brought into the public eye every so often. topic with painful memories for most people and one which is heatedly dis- Cussed among the parents of school children, but the average grown-up still believes that corporal punishment is a good thing. Discreti )n should be used in the application of the rod, however, and it is in the lack of dis« cretion among some school teachers where the system of corporal punish- ment is weak. There are children who can understand nothing quite so well as a "licking," but there are also children to whom a blow is a serious nervous shock. It is more or less a matter of temperament, which, de- spite the protests of the press agent, is not the exclusive possession of theatrical stars. The best school teacher must be more or less of a student of psychology and must be able to distinguish between “bad boys” and thoughtless ones. It must be admitted that there are "bad boys." True, they generally turn out to be the best of men, but they are boys who need an occasional and sometimes frequent applications of the cane or strap, whichever happens to be the favorite weapon of the teacher. To them it is an honor to _ be "licked," and they display their bruised hands with considerable pride. But to the nervous, sensitive child corporal punishment does more harm than either the teacher or parent may imagine. It bruises the spirit more severely than the flesh. Such a child grows up timid and fearful, shrinks mg from expected blows before they are threatened. . It is rather a pity that school teachers are not better paid. If they are worth anything at all, they are Worth at least double what they re- ceive at the present time. They hold almost supreme power 0 er the child. ten in their classes; it is to them that the rising generation looks for guidance and knowledge. yet they re? ceive what is hardly better than a pittanceâ€"Vancouver Sunset.
