DAWSON OLDTIMER WILL
START ON WORLD TRAMP
v _
George C. Sharp, a well-known
oldtimer of the Dawson country, is j
leaving the North on a globe-trot
ting journey which will take him
pretty much all over the world and
land him finally at Honolulu, where
he hopes to be able to settle down
r for awhile.
Sharp will travel leisurely across
the United States from the Pacific
to the Atlantic, then cross the ocean
to Europe “to see some of the holes
the Yukon boys shot into the land
scape.” After doing the battlefields,
he will go to Australia, and from
there to Honolulu.
The old timer tried to get over
to Europe with the Canadian troops,
but his age was against him.
He is now at Fairbanks, outward
bound.

THE MIDNIGHT SUN
The Midnight Sun: what poetry and romance of vision is woven
aroutuj those three words.
In fancy I have stood with Paul Du Chaillu, the eminent ex
plorer and author, on the shores of old Norway where he beheld
that marvelous spectacle across the broad expanse of the Arctic j
waters; all the passionately ardent love of nature in his soul was i
kindled and expressed in his descriptive lines of the awe-inspiring j
scene.
But here in this wonderful Northland. Alaska, nature's titanic
picture gallery, where some of her choicest masterpieces are hung, i
one may avail himself of that choice privilege. Fort Yukon, situ- j
ated just inside the Arctic circle, on the Yukon river, is the best
point of vantage; here from June twenty-first for two weeks the i
sun never sinks below the horizon.
At twelve o’clock, “Old Sol” seems to pause in his journey j
through space, suspended from out the rose-tinted heavens, a deep |
red ball with pulsating lights across its face in a blood-gold j
cloudy sea.
’Tis midnight; all is hushed; all is peace; at the other end of 1
the river hung an over-large moon like a great dull pearl; the
green hills and river lay jewel-crowned in exquisite pastelle hues, ■
and afar in the distance the eternal snows of the Canadian Rockies j
could be glimpsed. j
At twelve-thirty, the “gates of Dawn” began to open; silver j
shafts of light wreathed in the colors of the rainbow pierced the
melody of the spheres and set the morning stars a-tremb!e in a
burst of flaming glory.
Another Day began its triumphal march across the heavens
emerging from the regal glory of the midnight splendor.
HATTIE BELLE ERWIN.
(Mrs. L. T. Erwin.) i
ENGLISHWOMAN
BELIEVES CO-ED
SYSTEM IS BEST
LONDON.—The American system
of education has a great advantage
over the English plan in enabling
boys attending day schools to live
at home and receive the care and
guidance of their mothers. This is
the opinion of Lady Beecham, wife
of a famous music conductor, Sir
Thomas Beecham.
Lady Beecham thinks that many
pitfalls in English married life would
be avoided if the boys of this coun
try saw more of their homes and
learned to understand women.
Boys of well-to-do families in
England rarely see their parents ex
cept during holidays. They attend
boarding schools, beginning in their
early 'teens, some when they are
only seven or eight. As a rule these
schools are so far distant from the
pupils’ homes that their parents see
the boys only for a month at Christ
mas, a month at Easter, and during
the midsummer holidays, which last
about six weeks.
It is the children of the poor
that attend the day schools, or
“free” schools, as they are called.
The public schools of the United
States have no counterpart in Great
Britain. What are known as “pub
lic” schools here are the fashionable
private boys’ schools like Eton, Har
row, and Rugby, entrance to which
is so difficult that boys are booked
for them in their babyhood.
Lady Beecham, after pointing out
the advantage of the American day
schools, said that boys “growing up
in this way to comprehend their
mothers, when they marry have far
mere ei-mnaliiv with fhpir wives.”
“I think,” she continued, “that
much conjugal trouble in this coun
try is due to our system of educat
ing our sons. The English boy sees
little of his mother and sisters, al
most nothing of femininity in gen
eral, and grows to manhood under
standing the minimum about the
ideas and ideals of women. When
he marries his experience is often
gained at the expense of his wife,
which does not make for happy
marriage.
“It is almost revolutionary to con
demn our fine old public schools,
with their enormous weight of tradi
tion, but I confess I would like tc
see the day school and the co-edu
cational system, so common in Am
erica, play a much bigger part in tht
upbringing pf our sons.”

man, recently visited the Mayo cour.

he investigated the silver properties
of that district.
