The city of Douglas is another
Alaska town that is enjoying a
steady growth. The Douglas News
has tabulated and printed a state
ment of the new buildings and im
provements which shows an in
crease of 1~> 6,500 for the year,
much of which came from the re
building of structures lost in the
fire of March, 1911. The amount
does toot Include "the countless num
ber of small improvements that have
been male and perhaps omits a num
ber of large ones It does not take
Into accouut the money spent in the
improvement of the city water work
W# feel that it is perfectly safe to
?ay that the improvements for 1912
in the town of Douglas amounted in
round numbers to the sum of $100,
000."
A few weeks ago some arrests
were made in Seward and a public
condemnation meeting held in that
city over the alleged offlciousness of
Special Agent Lewis, which grew
out of the cutting' of wood in the
reserve Mr. Lewis has recently is
sued a statement of the case which
follows:
"It Is true that the people of
Seward mot and passed resolutions,
but it Is uot true as stated In the
Seattle Times that I was condemned,
nor Is there any great difference of
opinion between the 'people of Sew
ard and myself In the matter of
the enforcement of the law, but to
those whose interests have been
hurt by the operations of the law,
considerable opposition has manifest
ed itself,
"Let mo explain the nature and
object of the timber laws and regu
lations. In the first place, any resi
dent of Alaska can cut or have cut
60 cords of wood, or 30,000 feet
of lumber, without any interference
from the government. This is sup
posed to be all any one person shall
need. If it Is not, then It should
he raised.
"Men may go In the business and
^ell wood, but they must cut under
a permit granted them by the land
department. The reason of this pro
\ ision is that the government wish
to have the cutting of wood to fol
low some reasonable rules and regu
lations. For instance, they do not
wish saw logs cut and sold for fire
wood because saw timber is scarce
in this country, nor do they wish to
have good timber wood cut and left
on the ground to rot.
' It has been said by many that
all the waste in Alaska does not
compare with the drop of water in
the sea, bat unfortunately the waste
is all near towns and the most ac
cessable places are ruined by Indis
criminate methods to the loss of all.
"No interference has ever been
made by the land department with
the use of timber for the develop
ment of mining property and It is
not the policy of our department to
hinder, but It is rather our aim to
aid in the development of the na
tural resources of the country."
Backward, Nervous and Over
bright Children Not Care
of Educator Alone
By Dr. A. EMIL SCHMITT. President of the National Association
For the Study of Exceptional Children
rHKRE are manv children within our schools who are back
ward in their mental development
In some places the proportion is as high as 50 per cent.
It ha* been reported as high as 73 per cent in one of our
states. We are not concerned with defectives, who require permanent
custodial care, but with the great mass who by training can be brought
up to useful citizenship. Many of these children mav be HELPED
BY 8PECIAL ATTENTION TO ENVIRONMENT, PHYSICAL
CONDITION'S A\l> SPKCIAI. PEDAGOGIC TRAINING TO
LIVE USEFUL I.I YES. The association plans the development of
useful potential* in every child, thereby eliminating the factors which
make for the unstable, erratic, shiftless and inefficient members of
?ociety.
In our physique we inherit tendencies rather than disease. In
our mental and moral makeup it is rather the tendency than the dis
ease state which is transmitted. Thus in the development of the child
physically, mentally and morally we can institute practical measures
in "the school by MEDICAL CAKE. CHANGE IN THE SOCIAL
SURROUNDINGS AND EDUCATIONAL TRAINING, so that
the balance may he turned to normal, effective growth of body and
mind instead of to lowered vitality and mentality.
THE BACKWARD. THE NERVOUS OR THE OVERBRIGHT CHILD
IS NO LONGER THE CONCERN OF THE EDUCATOR ALONE; IT HAS
BECOME THE CARE OF THE PHYSICIAN. THE PSYCHOLOGIST AND
THE SOCIOLOGIST. 8ESIDES A GOOD WORKING KNOWLEDGE IN
THE SPECIALTIES OF EYE. EAR. NOSE AND THROAT. INTERNAL
CONDITIONS AND ORTHOPEOICS, THE SCHOOL PHYSICIAN OF THE
FUTURE SHOULD BE EQUIPPED IN NEUROLOGY AND PSV
CHOLOGY.
