Hrdlicha Back
(By The Associated Press)
WASHINGTON, Oct. 5, — Af
ter nosing around the Aleutian
Islands all summer, Dr. Ales Hrd-1
licka, is home with the skull of:
a large head which he picked
up there, and which once contain
ed the largest human brain of re
cord in the western hemisphere, j
Smithsonian Institute scientists
said that the skull was believed
to have belonged to an Aleut liv
ing hundreds of years ago.
The brain capacity was 2005
cubic centimeters. The average
man has a capacity of 1,450 cub
ic centimeters, and the average
woman 1,313.
The Aleut skull is runner-up
for world honors, to the skull of
the Russian poet Turgeniev whose
capacity was 2,030 centimeters.
Hrdlicka believed the skull was
owned probably by one of the
brightest men of his day and
age, and that he made the mark
in his community if he had any
opportunity at all.

Schoettler Tells
Details On The |
Vocational Side
—
Saturday night, following the
regular show at the Dream thea
tre, a small audience listened in
tently to the remarks of A. E.
Schoettler Vocational Supervisor
of Education in Alaska. M. J.
Walsh, city clerk and member of
the Territorial Board of Educa
|
tion from the Second Division in
troduced the speaker following a
few brief remarks. Also on the
stage were Superintendent of the
Gome Public School, Clayton
Poole, and school director Aimer
Rydeen.
Mr. Schoettler, after relating
numerous short stories relating
to experiences gained in organiz
ing and establishing vocational
educational courses in many differ
ent section of Alaska and the out
side, warmed up to his main sub
ject which he handled in a cap
able and masterly manner, and a
style which was pleasing and
humorous, especially to the fron
tier people of Nome. It was re
grettable that earlier notice and
more time was not given to the
public to allow them the oppor
tunity of listening to this valu
able and educational discussion.
Among other things Mr. Schoet
tler said: “This new addition to
the curriculum of the Alaska
Schools is the result of the Fed
eral appropriation, called the Geo
rge Ellzey Act. It was not cirec-.
tive in Alaska until July 1st,
1935, when the matching Terri- ^
torial appropriation was made
available.”
Mr. Schoettler of Seattle, was j
secured as Vocational Supervisor,'
and he began his work at that
time and has been busy promot-!
ing and organizing all three bran,
ches of Vocational Education in
the schools of the incorporated
towns. This includes day school:
and extension classes in Agricul-'
ture, Trade and Industrial Edu
cation, and Homemaking.
The rapid development of this
form of vocational work as indi
cated in the first year has made
necessary the employment of an
assistant and Miss Esther Morris,
formerly of the University of
Missouri and Michigan State Col
lege, has been employed for this
purpose. Mr. Schoettler is now
on a tour of the schools in the
Third, Fourth and Second Divi
sions, and is introducing Miss
Morris to the work in these dis
tricts. They expect to visit all of
the larger towns while on this

“PREHISTORIC ANIMAL” IS
SAID TO BE A “KILLER”
WHALE. WASHED ASHORE
“Curious eyes of humans look'
on dead splendor of bygone age,”
might be a fitting headline, if it
could be proved that the animal
which attracted so much atten
tion over the week-end,which lies
about two miles up the beach of
Bering Sea west of Nome, was a
prehistoric mammal.
However, it appears from dis
cussions with some who have
lived in that vicinity during the
summer, that it washed ashore
nearly two months ago, and is
nothing more or less than a "Kill
er” whale, a sea animal noted for
its ferocity in attacking the larg
er species of whale, shark and
other animals living in the sea.
Fred King, who has been min
ing in that section this summer
said he noticed it had been wash
ed ashore two months ago. He
said, further, that he remembered
seeing some kind of a struggle
going on out in the sea at about
that time, and thinks the animal
was killed in a fight with other
whales.
E. Kite, who also lives near the
viainity where the animal now
lies, said he noticed it near there
about two months ago, and that
storms recently had caused it to
be moved some during that time.
He said that Eskimos had cut off
its flippers near the front should
ers and had taken the meat off
of what looked like the tal. Mr.
Kite said that about a mile and a
half further up the beach another
almost its duplicate, has washed
ashore and resembles the whale,
it being intact, and nothing yet
having been removed from it.
What was thought to be a tail
on the animal, is said by both Mr.
Kite and Mr. King to be nothing
more than part of the body and
spine, similar to the lower part
of the ordinary whale, and that
the fact the meat is gone, makes
it appear like a tail. ,
It was reported yesterday that
upon recommendation a telegram
was sent the University of Alas
ka notifying officials there of the
presence of the animal here.
Nothing further has been heard
whether anyone will come to
Nome to investigate it.
Mere than a hundred and fifty
people yesterday walked up the
beach of Bering Sea to observe
the animal, and it is reported that
numerous parts of it have been
removed as souvenirs.
