VOCATIONAL TRAINING
For the first time, the territorial government has a sup
ervisor of vocational education. A. E. Sehoettler has come
to Alaska from the Seattle school system to take charge of
vocational work under Commissioner Karnes.
It is hoped that the Ketchikan school will inaugurate
vocational courses along with other systems in the Territory,
for the courses will be practical and of immense future bene
fit to Alaska.
Act of Congress makes provision for agriculture, home
economics and trade or industrial education. Federal funds
are matched with territorial funds, as provided by the latest
session of the legislature.
Under the law, “such education shall be given in schools
or classes under public supervision or control .... shall
be designated to meet the needs of persons over 14 years
who are preparing for a trade or industrial pursuit, or who
have entered upon the work of a trade or industrial pursuit."
Word from Juneau is to the effect that the work this
year will be limited to the larger schools. At least one
school will have classes in vocational agriculture. Others
will enlarge and modify programs in home economics
According to Mr. Schottler, “In the field of trade and
industrial education, the general shop is the type of program
best fitted for the larger schools. This type of shop does not
specialize on one trade alone, but may include two or three
trades in one shop and class. Several schools are planning
to open a general shop this coming year. It is hoped that at
least one school will establish evening trade extension class
es soon after the opening of the school term.”—Ketchikan
Chronicle.
FAITH IN ROOSEVELT
Despite the concerted effort to show President Roosevelt
in a failing light, the Chief Executive still retains the faith
and loyal support of the American people it is evident on
every hand. Frank T. Bell. Fisheries Commissioner, who
was a week-end visitor in Juneau and who is an expert when
it comes to finding out the reactions of the body politic, has
according to a recent editorial in the Juneau Empire, just
made a trip throughout the country before coming North
and everywhere he found the rank and file still have belief
in the President. And it is not a blind faith, as some would
have us believe, but it is honest support for a program with
which all the people are now thoroughly conversant.
They are aware of certain shortcomings but they are
convinced the Roosevelt purposes are bearing fruit. Indus
trilists. contrary to some pessimistic reports, are making
money. The factories are operating and orders are pouring
in. Farmers of the Middle West are getting back on their
feet and thousands of them have left the relief rolls. For
the most part they are in harmony with the agricultural pro
gram and they are putting their shoulders to the wheel in an
effort not only to bring back their own economic recovery,
but as a result, the economic independence of all the people.

paper is read from cover to cover with the greatest reader
interest of any publication in the world.

A copy of the Juneau Empire dat
ed July 26th contains the following
interesting article:
SITKA, Alaska, July 26—When
the yacht ‘•Seyellen II” arrived in
Sitka no one was particularly con
cerned about it. Too many yachts
arrive these days to cause any ex
citement, but it was a lucky event
for J. E. Kenny, a resident of the
Pioneers Home since May 7. Kenny
is a well known roadhouse keeper
and prospector from the Anchorage
district. For the past year he has
been totally blind due to cataracts
on both eyes.
On board the yacht was Dr. John
E. Weeks, internationally known eye
specialist of New York, and Dr.
Davis of Portland, who ranks as one
of the foremost eye men of the Pa
cific Coast.
Dr. Weeks and Dr. Davis visited
the Pioneers’ Home and informed
Dr. Nicholson, the attending physi
cian that they would be glad to look
at any men with eye trouble.
After looking at the pioneers with
eye afflictions and advising them
what to do they decided that it
would be possible in the case of
Kenny to operate and restore his
sight. Without formality or pretence
they performed the operation.
Although Dr. Weeks is past 80
years of age he has a clear eve and
a steady hand, and there is no ques
tion that in two weeks Kenny will
be able to see. Dr. Weeks is so well
known that the King of Siam came
to this country to seek his attention.
Kenny is the happiest man in
Alaska. He knows that in a few
weeks he will be able to see the
Pioneer’s Home where he has been
feeling his way around for the past
two months. He will also be able
to recognize his former friends and

acquaintances, and he will be able1
to see the fellow pioneers whom he J
has previously known only by their
voices.
Dr. Weeks and Dr. Davis offered
their services without pay. They j
will, however, reap a rich reward;
in the undying gratitude of Kenny. ;
