ENGLISH ACCOMPLISH MORE
THAN AMERICANS, SAYS LADY
PLYMOUTH, July 16. (JP)—That
Americans are a lot slower than the
British is the opinion of Lady Nott
Bower, who was one of the delegates
to the National Council of W omen
at Washington.
“The Americans run about a* lot,”
she said on her return to Plymouth,
“but they don’t get as much done as
the English do.”
All the returning English delegates
to the council were enthusiastic over
the reception which they received
and the hospitality shown them
while they were in America and Ca
nada.
Mrs. Ogilvie Gordon, the first vice
president, said the women’s move
ment was advancing by leaps and
hounds in America and immigration
conditions were likely to improve
owing to the efforts of the confer
ence.
TINY HANDWRITING PART OF
BRITISH EMPIRE EXHIBITION
VICTORIA, B. C„ July 16. (JP)—
John Spears who lives at Cowichan
Bay on Victoria Island recently pre
sented the British Empire Exhibition
at Wembley with a unique collection
of handwriting specimens. He claims
the all-around championship in min
iature writing with pen and pencil.
Spears has written 12,125 words
on the back of a postcard with an
ordinary pen and the naked eye, and
the Lord’s Prayer on a space no larg
er in area than the end of a lead
pencil. He also has written a book
of 90 pages totalling 10,000 words,
each page about the size of a post
age stamp.
POETRY-TEACHING METHODS
INEFFECTIVE, SAYS LIBRARIAN
SEATTLE, July 16. (£»)—'To com
bat a dislike for poetry because of
the way it is taught in some schools,
children should be given the idea
that poetry is something to love
without any thought of school rooms
or marks or so-many-lines-by-the-day
for a gold star, declared Margery
Doud of the St. Louis Public Libra
ry, before the annual meeting of the
American Library Association the
other day.
“Many teachers extract all the mag
ic and illusiveness from poetry in
their teaching of it, and it is the
rare few who, by interpretation, make
it the more beautiful and full of
meaning,” she said. “There is a
preventative opportunity here for li
brarians and to seize it we must
saturate children with poetry to the
point of invulnerability before the
wrong kind of ‘educator’ can begin
his destructive work.
“We cannot guarantee to the child
ren who come to libraries that the
apparent world will not be dull for
them, but we can give them a hint
of an inexhaustible world of their
own. It is only by familiarizing
children with the look and sound of
poetry in a way so simple that they
cannot help but understand it, that
we are to gain their confidence for
further poetic adventuring.”

MANY MEN GOING
TO WORK ON NEW
‘CUT OFF ROAD
_
SEIMS & CARLSON, CONTRAC-,
TORS, MAKING CAMP TODAY
AND HIRING MANY ADDITION
AL MEN FOR ROAD WORK.
Fifteen men have been employed
thus far this week by the Seims &
Carlson road builders, which compa
ny was recently awarded the big
contract for building the two-mile
cut, on the Seward-Kenai road. But,
according to Supt. Wood, in charge
of the company’s activities on this
particular project, a camp will no
doubt be established today and at
least 25 more men added to the gang.
Numerous station men have been en
gaged already and will start digging
within a few days. It is expected
60 men will be engaged on this proj
ect until the freeze-up.
The road work will be pushed
along, Supt. Wood stated last night,
taking advantage of the number of
men who are now in the region and
also, due to the lateness of the sea
son.
Iver Anderson, who is in charge
of the company’s business and proj
ects in the Territory, departed for
Girdwood, yesterday morning, where
he will pick up the company’s equip
ment, used last year on the new
road, and ship it down to the “cut
off” road, a short distance beyond
the Seward city limits.
