In a sixteen foot launch and uccom- |
punied by four native. the two
teachers left tiambell, a small native
village on St. Lawrence island, Juno
21. intending to make the perilous
voyage to Nome, a distance of nearly
200 miles across Bering strait. The!
.snudi craft carried only a tempoiar\
i
engine. but the teachers set out un- (
daunted. When a short distance out i
Mr. Dooley was compelled to make
adjustments at intervals of ever>
hour. After being two days and two
nights caught in drift ice Mr. Dooley
obseived the cutter Bear in tin; dis
tance. The small American flag on
the mast head of the launch was im
mediately moved up and clown as a
signal.
BKAB Dll’S l LA(i
‘*The Hear likewise dipped her flar
but seemed to be moving away from
us.** explained Mi. Dooley. “Not huv
ng and maritime experience we did
not know what signal to use. Finally
we used a snowshiit worn by one of
the natives and we waved the shirt
and the flar together. When this
wn- dom*. the cutter Hear hurried t<*
our assistance and towed us to N’onu
in our little craft.”
St. Lawrence island i> 100 miles
long and from thirty to sixty miles
*\id.*. It i< located about forty miles
from the coast of Siberia in Hcring
! Sea. I.a>t autumn Mr. Dooley and
Mrs. Tashner t«»ok passage on tie
cutter Hear for tin* village of (lam
hell, on the coast side of the Island.
; Storms, however, prevented the Hear
| from landing at Gumboil. so the
teachers with thirty-five tons of coal,
school supolies and native store sup
plies valued at $7,.”>00 we o all land d
at Southwest cape, a village of twen
ty-two men. women and children on
the western side of the island.
A precipitous mountain sepevated
Southwest cape and Gambell. so Mr.
Dooley, unable to take Mrs. Tashner
. or the supplies, mushed sixty miles
over the mountan to Gambell . where
I he <p**nt the winter with 11.” natives.

th»'ir male teachers, a pint lice which
has been general in hugland lor
many years, recently has become
the subject of much criticism h\
the Daily Mail which has started an
t
agitation for its abandonment. Many
letters have boon wiitt- n the news
papers, tile majority of the writers
advocating the inflicting of corpora!
punishment of girls when necessary,
by women teachers. They prole t
that a sensitive girl may never fullv
recover from the “shame of being
caned by a man.”
The Lord Mavor of 1’ristol, who

had “0 years experience as head

the practice of men admin stering cor
poral punishment to gills common but
he was opposed to it.
