TO SPARE ROD -SPOILS CHILD
VETERAN SCHOOL HEAD THINKS
LYNCHBURG, Va., Jan. 5. (JP)—
For forty-seven years E. C. Glass has
held continuously the post as su
perintendent of schools in this city.
Fifty-four years fo teaching and ad
ministrative service has been given
exclusively in Lynchburg schools.
Superintendent Glass, who also was
educated as a boy in the schools
which he came to direct, believes
in the principle that “to spare the
rod spoils the child.” He points as
evidence to 156 cases of corporal
punishment in his schools during the
last season.
That use of the rod is declin
ing, however, was concluded from the
fact that although there are now four
times as many students in his
schools as were enrolled in 1879,
when Mr. Glass first took the office,
there were in his initial year 2,159
cases of corporal punishment. The
majority of “-whippings” were admin
stered to negro children by negro
teachers.
Organized only three years ago,
the Association of American Bank
Women now has members in 180
cities.

one of the principal owners in the
Hoonah Packing Company. Recent
ly Mrs. Alexander has been in Ket
chikan where her husband is now
engaged in the fisheries business.
She went south a ferw wekes ago to
spend the Christmas holidays and
part of the winter in Seattle. Mr.
Alexander reached Seattle from Al
aska a few days before the accident
which took the life of his wife.
Besides her husband Mrs. Alex
ander is survived by two daughters,
Mrs. Irene Murray and Donna Gail
Alexander, both of Seattle, her
moth, Mrs. M. Sullivan and a sis
ter, Mrs. Belle Withrow, both of Her
mit, Calif., near Los Angeles.
Mrs. Alexander had many friend
in Alaska who have known her and
who give their deep sympathy to the
sorrowing family.—Empire.

Barrow Be Signal for
Second Christmas Tree
Incorporated in the luggage of Merl
LaVoy, Fox film photographer, who
left Seward a few weeks ago for
Barrow, where he will secure several
thousands of feet of sipecial schemes
for Alaska feature film, where approx
imately $500 worth of toys and a va
rious assortment of gifts, ranging all
the way from fancy ladies comibs to
fixtures for the house.
Among the scenes Mr. LaVoy has
been instructed to procure is one in
which a Christmas tree, among Es
kimo settings, is to be featured. Tho
probably it will be sometime in the
spring before the moving picture man
will be able to make the shot, the
Eskimos will no doubt be delighted
to participate in a second Christmas
tree affair, for it will certainly be
realistic. The Fox Film Company
sent Mr. LaVoy direct from New
York ,a large box of tree ornaments
so the tree, with the gifts added,
will no doubt reflect the real Yule
tide spirlit. The tree, itself, will be
shipped to Barrow in the spring from
Nome.
BEES WORTH MORE
THAN NATION’S GOLD
Bumble bees are worth much more
every day to the United States than
all our gold mines, says the Phila
delphia Public Ledger. Yes, they are
worth more than all our gold and
sil/ver mines together, even if you
multiply the mines by two. You can
rate the bumible bee at about $300,
000,000.
Perhaps you did not know it, but
rwe otwe our clover hay crop to the
bumble bee. And our clover is worth
more than $300,000,000 every year.
When Uncle Sam tried to introduce
red clover in the Philippines he made
a big discovery. Red clover would
not reproduce itself in those islands.
It took considerable time to find
out that the reason for the failure
■was absence of bumble bees. -These
buzzing toilers are the chaps who
fertilize red clover—distribute the
pollen and so complete the yearly cy
cle of maturity. And no insect ex
cept the bumble bee, with his ab
normally long tongue, can do that
little trick in a red clover field.
When Uncle Sam took a cargo of
bumble bees out to Manila, the job
of raising red clover hay in the Phil
ippines was accomplished.
