THE PUBLIC SCHOOL
The Daily Alaskan gives space today
to * voluminous communication from
the school board which felt ths
necessity of defending itself from the
attacks which were made upon it at a
recent meeting of the Skagway city
council. The members of the board
take up each of the charge* mads
against them, and answer all with the
facts as they understand them.
The Daily Alaskan does not propose
to enter this controversy at all. It
believes one of the mo3t disasterous
calamities that can come to a com
munity is a prolonged warfare over
public school affairs. This is so for
many reasons. Principally because
the matters discussed are largely tech
nical. They are questions over which
there can be honest differences of
opinion. They are problems that
teachers' institutes, normal schools and
educators generally are pondering and
discussing from one ena of the country
to the other. Men and women who are
devoting their lives to the education of
the young differ about !these things.
Therefore, it is apparent how fruit
less are campaigns among the people
for or against this course of study or
that.
About all the men and women of a
community can do is to choose com
petent, decent and honest persons for
memler> of the school board, and toleave
school matters to1 them. Of course,
there have been exceptions to the rule
and there will be others, but they are
so infrequent than that they only serve
to prove it.
By no meaus would the Daily Alas
kan deny rhc parent the right to
closely guard the education of his child.
That is his duty. Also is it his duty to
complain of anything which he thinks
amiss in the school. But it were wise,
unless something very serious and
fundamentally wrong is discovered,
that the matter be takenlup with the
school board. If, perchance, a school
boani should be discovered to be in
competent, the remedy is in the
hands of the people.

President Roosevelt his been consult
ing with Rex Beach as toAlaskan needs
at a White House dinner. Rex Beach
is all right. He spent sometime in
Alaska and wrote a good book about
what he saw and heard. However, he
represents Rex Reach and not Alaska.
If President Roosevelt d? sires to please
the people of A'aska and to tind out
something to the point about the dis
trict, hs should do more consulting with
the people's representatives ? Frank H.
Waskev and Thomas Cale.
There are few people in the United
States who will not feel that Sanford

paid the penalty for his betrayal of the
most sacred obligations civilization
demands of men.

John Marshall, employed on the
Northern Pacific R. R. who lives at WIO
South D. Street, Tacotnu. Wash., snys: !
"A fall which strained my back must
have injured my kidneys, for I suffered
for more than seven years with kidney I
trouble. The secreiions were irregular
and contained a heavy brick dusi scdi- 1
ment after remaining over night.There
was more or less pain across the small I
of my back, which was very severe
after working in a stoopinsr position f r
any length of time and I bad lo be care
fu' when straightening up or I suffered
severe twinges of pair. I also had head
aches ana spells of dizziness. I treated I
with a physician and used different |
remedies but found no more than temp- .
orary relief. At length, I noti ed re? |
commendations of Doan's Kidney Pills i
in the newspapers and I got a box. They
stopped the aching: in my back, correct- i
ed the kidney difficulties am! banished
the headaches and dizziness. Other
members of my family have since used
Doan's Kidney Pills with the same good
resnlts. '?
