cess must remain doubtful until= a
genuine attempt is made to intro-
duce and enforce strict discipline in
all state eehools and colleges. The
laxity of the present cannot be bet-
ter, described than in the words of
a Chinese professor who, in the
course of an address to the stu-
dents of Foochow College, in Octo-
ber, 1910, said :--
"The lawless' idea of liberty was
e.ueonraged under the management
of directors who themselves have
never had discipline. The students
found the best place to experiment
in regard to. equality of which they
had learned. in Japanese books, was
either with their parents at home
or with their teachers at school.
While in sohool the teachers are
considered by the students to be
their equals, if not inferiors; for,
in fact, they have often been styled
public servants. Cases of friction
between the teachers and the stu-
dents, ending in strikes on the part
of the latter, are very often.- re-
ported in the newspapers. With the
unions formed in schools the stu-
dents beoome absolutely lawless.
The positions of the ' teachers as
well as those of the directors lie in
1 the hands of the students, who, in
1 fact, foiun the moving. spirit of the
whole institution. With the pre'
sumptuous power acquired from the
union which they have .formed, the
students, through the medium of
the directors (the president of the
college), inetruot the teachers on
the best methods of teaching and
formulating examination epees-

Hints for the Home.
Potato balls which are salted in
butter after being boiled are delic-
ious. They should be served with
a generous sprinkling of minced
parsley.
To clean a frying pan after fish
or onion, boil out the pan with so-
da water, washing clean, then put
it on the fire and shake a little oat-
meal ' in.
To stop a door hinge from creak-

the bag into clear., warm water and

A little ammonia in a few spoon-
ruls of alcohol is excellent to sponge

Silver spoons or forks may be
cleaned and brightened by leaving

found in coffee.

A great work is being done far up
on the north-east shores of Hudson
Bay in converting the wandering
Indians and + limos who inhabit
that desolate region to Christian-
ity. A devoted little band of three
or four Christian pioneers is sta-
tinned there, and a member of that
"Arctic mission," who is, in Eng-
land. for a short "leave," gave some
of his experiences of the country
esus people.

ment on Great Whale River," said.

"Washing" Children,
"I have often seen an ,Eskimo
woman washing her young children
like a cat does a kitten—by licking
them all over. Their only means of
livelihood lies- in catching, seal's.
They are always on the lookout for
sealholes in the ice. They eat the
blubber, that is, the fat of -the seal,
and clothe' -themselves or at any
rate snake their trousers out of
sealskin. It is very ootid --45 de-
grees below zero as a rule—and we
Europeans have to keep roaring
fires going in every rooan of our
house.
`°Thopeople don't live in villages,
but separately in families, so as to
have as wide a field for hunting as
possible. They are a. very revenge-
ful people. -A 'short while ago an
Eskimo was out huntingand saw a
black dot in the distance on the ice.
On approaching he made certain
that it was a seas just protruding
from a seal hole.
Bloody Feud.
He fired and hit it, but when he
got up to it he found that he had
aocidentally shot a man. He called
on the widow, said how sorry he
was, and, promising g to help the woe
man, asked for •forgivonese. The
son of the dea.d man entered., and,
when he heard, ruehed off and kill-
ed all -the unfortunate hunter's
family in revenge. In retaliation
the hunter killed all the dead man's
family, and so the feud began.
