The Polar Bear
An Exile From Home
(iBy Esther K. Keeks, in "Our
r Dumb Animal*".)
I hare never wen a polar bear in
a zoo that wuh not the picture of
abject misery. Perhaps he is not always
no, but when one think* of the
contrast between hi* life there and
that of hi* native haunt*, one wonder*
how he could ' otherwise. The
great white creature is a lover of
coldP of wide stretches over which
to roam, and of vigorous exercise
both along shore and in the water.
It* home in summer i* within the
Arctic Circle, and it ha* been seen
further north than any other animal.
In the winter the male* wander
?ome distance south that they
may *till be where there i* open
Wnjler, for it i? from the *ea that
most of their food j* obtained. Land
is of far less consequence to them
than broken ice, and they have been
seen a burnt rest mile* from shore quite
at home in the cqjd northern seas.
They ure among the most powerful of
beasts and,'to all appearances, tireless
swimmers.
In winter, the food of the polur
bear consists almost wholly of fish
and seal; but in spring and summer
its diet ranges from mosses, roots,
and grass, to animal life of all sorts.
| It is a keen and cunning hunter, with
a remarkably sharp sense of both
*ight and hearing and an intelligence
that at time* seems almost human.
Only the mother bears den up and
hii>ernate through the coldest months.
The males prefer to brave the storms
und cold of the northern winters abroad;
and for this their heavy coats
and the thick layer of fat just under
the skin well fit them.
In autumn, the she-bears grow exceedingly
fat. Late in November the
expectant mother leaves the shore
line and goes inland to find a deep
drift of snow among the rocks. In
this, she digs down as far as possible,
and there curls up for her long nap.
More snow drifts over heT, hut always
her warm breath keeps open
a small inle?t for air.
Sometime in January the little ones
are born, usually two in number, and,
for all the great size of the mother,
not much bigger than full grown rats
and as blind and helpless as baby
kittens. By the last of March they
have grown to the size of foxes and
their mother's store of food has very
nearly been exhausted. Now the
long polar night is ended and the
sun appears for a little while each
day. The snow is softening, and the
family break through the walls that
have enclosed them and make their
way to water.
At the sea-shore, the little ones
soon learn to swim, to dive for fish,
and to do many things that make up
the life of a polar bear. They are
very full of energy and among the
most playful of all young creatures.
Their mother is the personification
of mother love and devotion. She
knows no personal fear in protecting
her charges, and woe to that
man or beast who attempts to harm
her or in any way to arouse her
suspicions or to incur her ire.
Is it any wonder that such a beast
as this finds It hard to be reconciled
to warm weather, narrow walls, a
tank of water but little longer than
its own body?
Milk Line Allowed.
Columbia.?Quickly and encouragingly.
the state railroad commission
granted Henry R. Myers permission
to operate a motor freight line from
Knightville, a small community near
Summerville, to Charleston, in order
to serve dairymen of the section.
Governor To Name Students.
Columbia.?Governor Richards has
announced that he is now considering
applications for medical and pharmaceutical
scholarships to the Medical
College of South Carolina and would
designate his appointees within ten
days or two weeks. The governor suggests
that all applications should
reach his office immediately.
Holds l'p Drivers?Take Cars.
Hampton.?Three during men in a
large seven passenger Ruick drove
arbund J. S. Dunbar and Harry Myers
>>f Savannah. (la., about ten miles
from Crocketville. Hampton county.
, and forced the occupants to leave
their cars, (two new Ford coupes)
and each car was driven off by the
robbers. The Ruick was driven across
the road to stop the cars, and when
one driver attempted to go around
ho was stopped with pistol shots.
Large I?egkm Poat.
Columbia.?Richland post, of which
Dr. A. H. Hayden, Jr., la..commander,
has reached a membership of 605?
the largest the post has ever had, and
within about 75 of the largest any
American Legion post has ever hsd in
1 this state.
Go To School
Every Day!
The i-ucceftttful farmer got* to
school every day in hi* held* and in
hih barn' lie mutt at all time* be
alert to solve difficult problem*. Oh,
of tour**, he never think* of it a* an
education; because he ha* been
taught to thidfc of education a* a
matter of book* and gotiqg po school.
(Joint; to scljool may give ?* man a
good foundation on which to build;
but it takes life to reajly educate him
in a broad way. Lincoln, Andrew
Jackson, Davy Crockett, Sam Houston,
Edison and others got their
higher education in the school of 'experience
and hard knock*.'
Here is what the Southern Agriculturist
has lately said editorially on
this subject:
(Joing to school i? effective in edcation
to the extent that the student
is trained in the habit of thinking
and working out solutions to difficult*
[ problems. >
Hut any other activity that leads
the individual to think clearly and
apply himself energetically to ?the
solutiori of problems is educational
also. (Joing to school is only one of
the many ways of training the mind,
and with many it is not the beat way.
Sitting in the classroom, reading and
reciting may mean little or nothing
in educational values. Hoys and girl*
may even go through schools with
passing grades and miss real education
almost altogether.
A leading American university
president said a year or two ago,
that 50 per cent. o<f the college and
university students in this country
would be better off out of college
than in college.
From psycological tests made during
the World War it i? estimated
that eight par cant, of the children
(and this means more than a million)
are incapable of getting anything of
educational value from our school
system, and that the 15 per cent next
above these can get but little education
from our school system. Practically
all could, doubtless, get much in
mental training from Nature's school,
if they were allowed to work in Nature's
school.
Men and women, boys and girls
who devote themselves seriously to
hard work in the great world of reality,
and apply their minds vigorously
to the solution of the problems that
present themselves from day to day
are more really going to school than
those who look only to the school-,
rooms for education.
This is Nature's great sfchool, and
It is liu&aidous to repudiate it in any
system of education. For a very long
period this was practically the only
educational system in the world, and
it turned out some of the greatest
minds the world has ever seen. General
