ItAISING A BOY OIM HAvJD
KNOCKS.
i An inquiry into the question of
Iwhy a boy thrives on bard knocks
Ihas been undertaken, with grow
ling wonderment, by a parent who
|only recently discovered dial
\ such a theme is a reasonable pos
' sibility. A long list of anxious
parents will greet his findings
with an active curiosity stimu
lated by personal interest.
It is, indeed, easier to produce
the proof of the proposition than
to indicate the cause, which has
more diverging angles than the
surface solution would indicate.
Parents who have reared a del
icate child and watched him grow
to school ago in hourly fear that
he may be bumped severely by
some rude boy, have marveled at
the robust change that comes ov
er hi when lie comes in contact
with the rough and tumble world
of school life..
The volunteer investigator will
he asked to explain why a hoy
may bo pulled by the leg over a
block of hard, graveled (play
ground, and come home glow
ing with health and hungry for
dinner, lie will be asked to in
form a wailing world why it
helps a hoy when liis playmates
throw him through a confection
er’s display window. Why should
a boy fall off the roof of a wood
shed and thrive on it? Why
should a youth's appetite be
stimulated when twenty boys pile
up on bim in a football scrim
mage If it requires great care
to raise a delicate child, wiry
should llic same child thrive
when he is Panged about like a
dice in a box?
These are quest inns l lial Innu
parents have asked l.hemselves in
dazed bewilderment: parenls wlm
have senl llieir child In school
in fear and trembling, and watch
ed him, with surprise, grow In
rugged heallh by dial nf sundry
bangs and Imll'el ings.
There is a great, deal nf expert
testimony along this line that
would prove highly interesting In
parents wlm have1 been groping
blindly with the old. old problem
of raising a liny, a problem, il
would appear, that should have
long ago been settled, and de
tached from Hie realm of uncer
tainty throuh the long ages of
human experience.—Ex.
CHANGING THE WOR'-D’S SHIP
PING MAP.
Mammoth dredges Llial, have
been eating their way for month's
through the harriers which na
ture established between the At
lantic and' Pacific in prehistoric
ages, have practically completed
their work, and, with the use of
a little dynamite will have paved
the way for sliding tin1 trade of
the world along a new route.
This is the most conspicuous,
lint most marvelous, example of
the influence of the race upon the
evolution of the globe. But it is
only an incident of I he process
which has been going on for
many years, donating by cen
turies, it is wonderful; measured
by the shorter span of genera
tions, we must note the stupen
dous acceleration of the advance
within even the life of men now
remaining upon the tfeld of ac
tion.
In the lifetime of men still in
their prime, the Atlantic and Pa
cific seaboards were separated by
vast, wild regions over which
communication was possible only
by slow moving trains of wagons
or broken stage routes. Palace
cars from the Atlantic to the Pa
cific today carry tourists past
stupendous fields of cultivation
into Tesorts of natural beauty
unequaled upon the face of the
earth, and loaded trains bring to
the Eastern consumers the1 sub
tropical fruits of that prolific
land. Fifty years ago Hawaii
was a barbaric monarchy in the
-middle of I he Pacific; today it is
a iruitlui territory oi mo repuu
nc. Samoa was unknown; tm.
Philippines were outside the
range of progress under elfete
opanish possession.
in the development of such ter
ritory upon the face ol the gloue
as has naturally or incidentally
come within our touch, the Unit
ed States has already made a rec
ord which, we may devoutly hope,
will not tie marred by future in
discretion on our part. Outside,
our own dominion, our national
influence has been for welfare.
In tile middle of the last cen
tury, Mexico was in the grip of
I he feeble imperialism of France.
When our own Civil war was end
ed, Maxmilian was forced out.
The little- Central American
Stales, always at war, were ce
mented into a union more or less
stable; Brazil became a republic;
on the other side of the world,
the most ancient of all systems
of dynastic rule was overturned,
and today in China itself the will
of the people is formally recog
nized.
The world has almost been
made over in the last half cen
tury and the removal of the linal
barrier between the oceans at
Panama ushers in a new era for
l he world and a particularly new
and potential era for the states
of the union that border on the
Pacific. No man can foretell the
extent of the changes that will
be ushered in with the opening
and operation at Panama of the
realization of the dream of cen
turies, a ship canal between the
oceans. Hankers, financiers,
shipbuilders, the captains of
trade and industry have sensed
the change and forecasted its
possibilities. The result of their
foresight in being echoed in the
whirr of saws, the pounding of
hammers, the gnawing of drills
and the pounding of rivets in ev
ery shipyard of the world. Their
dream is of commercial conquest.
To us on the Pacific coast, whe
ther newcomers or descendants
of the pioneers who fought their
way against Indians and cold and
thirst and hunger back in the 40’s
and 5<)’s, Hie change means more
than additional ships and ship
ping. ft means new problems of
populuatiou and immigration,
row questions of housing and
employment, new phases to our
educational and moral status,
new opportunities for develop
ment and expansion, new issues
and new questions whichever
way we turn.
'lid, our civilization and our
nature are such that we welcome
these changes and innovations.
If our civilization is not the best
in the world, we want to know it
ourselves. If we can not stand
the lest of these new questions
and new problems, we want to
lind out the defects and plan to
remedy them promptly. Sereins
in the conlidence that our insti
tutions are basically sound, we
await the coming of the new
ships and the problems they car
ry.—Tacoma Tribune.
The prompt action of Col.
O'Neil, in dispatching the launch
l.ieut. L. V. Donaldson to search
for the Cann party, for whose
safely grave fears were enter
tained hy their friends, is much
appreciated hy the people of this
community. Thg Donaldson is a
powerful craft and. under her
present, efficient officers would
easily weather any storm liable
to he encountered in these wa
ters. Hut if is different with
smaller boats, for should any
thing happen to put their motive
power out of commission while
nocking the elements their occu
pants would lie completely at the
mercy of the waves. It is just
such kindly and thoughtful ac
tions on the part of the com
manding officer of the post which
has given him such a big place
in the esteem of the people of
this community.
