With fifty dogs and a large a
rnount of supplies loaded into two
freight cats, and three passenger
roaches filled wiht stampeders, a
mong whom were Skookum Jim, Geo
Carmack. iiilly Leak and other well
<; now n northerners, the White Pass
train pulled out this morning on
what is to be the beginning of one
of the greatest stampedes into the
Interior that has occurred in Alas
ka since the days of Dvea and early
Sk agway.
Skookum Jim, the one most re
sponsible for the excitement regard
lag the richness of the Teslln lake
region, will say nothing about his
discovery, consequently nothing is
definitely known regarding it. That
there is gold iu the region, has
been know.: for a long time. In
fact gold is and has been taken out
of the Atlln for years. Within a
radius of several hundred miles of
? he new discovery gold has been
found in more or less paying quan
t :es Th;it another Klondyke has
been or will be discovered Is cer
tain. because it is certain that some
where in the vast field is sure to be
rich deposits of gold that have ac
cumulated through the process of |
geological changes.
It is but natural that our southern
sister near the Stiklne should claim
that the new discovery cau be best
reached from W ran gel 1, and the
board of trade of that city is making
au effort to get the business, and
will get much of it, unless the Skag
way board of trade does does some
thing to make public a true knowl
edge of the routes. When it is
once known in the Sound ports that
the discoverers . themselves are go
ing in via Skagway and that the
Provincial Secretary of British Co
lumbia went in by this route, there
will be bur. little reason for any-one
taking the Stiklne trail. This news
paper is doing all it can to send out
this information. But the assist
ance of a live board of trade could
do something of real value Just now,
If they would.
The
Great
American
Craze

HE GREAT AMERICAN CRAZE NOW IS VOCATIONAL SCHOOLS, ?
^ OF COURSE. WE CANT SEE MUCH OVER AND BEYOND !
j VOCATIONAL TRAINING JUST NOW, ALTHOUGH, LIKE J
EVERYTHING ELSE THAT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE TAKE !
UP WITH SUCH OVERWHELMING ENTHUSIASM, THE IDEA WILL '
BE DROPPED* JUST AS QUICKLY, LEAVING, TO BE SURE, ITS IN
FLUENCE. AND HAVING MERGED ITS BEST RESULTS IN THE GEN
ERAL SCHOOL CURRICULUM.
I'm convinced the one thing to avoid in vocational schools is the
DANGER OF TRAINING A TYPE OF FACTORY WORKER.
If the schoolroom, with its workbench and its dressmaking and milli
nery shops, isn't something over and beyond the mere factory work
room, then this whole scheme of trade education will fall and we will
have a system of education entirely wrong. The one aim in trade
school development must be TO CREATE SOMETHING OF
THE JOY OF WORKING IN THE PUPILS- and develop the
most valuable asset in the world ? initiative.
There always have been and perhaps there always will be children
without any ability to do things of their own volition ? without origi
nal ideas. But our education now ought to do something besides ,
teaching accuracy and diligence. It should OPEN THE DOOR
FOR INDIVIDUAL GROWTH. It should show the pupil the
way to do for himself. Unless we can put our boys and girls in the
way of BEING SOMETHING MORE IN LIFE THAN THEIR
PARENTS WERE, unless we can make it possible for them to ad
vance beyond their environment and the circumstances into which
they were born, we are failing utterly.
