EDUCATION IN HUSK!
Commissioner of Education for Al
aska, Elinor Ellsworth Brown, bas
submittal his report to the secretary
of the interior for the current fiscal
year The report contains much that
is interesting and instructive as to
the work being accomplished in this
department in Alaska The report
in part, says:
During the past summer Dr. Har
lan I'pdegraff. the chief of the Al
aska division of this office, has
spent several months in southern Al
aska. making a thorough study of the
educational service among the na
tive?. of that region. His attention
has been directed particularly to the
strengthening of the system of super
vision in the field, and to the newer
industrial and sanitary features of
the work. Doctor I'pdegraff has not
yet returned to Washington.
Steps have been taken to meet the
pressing need of the natives of Al
aska for medical aid. With the ap
proval of the secretary oof the inter
ior a contract was entered into with
the Holy Cross hospital and with
Dr J H Mustard, of Nome, Alaska,
for hospital care and medical treat
ment of destitute natives of Nome
;uid us vicinity. A contract has also
ti^n entered into with Dr. H. R.
Marsh, for the furnishing of medical
treatment to destitute natives of Bar
row and its vicinity, for the main
taining of sanitary conditions among
the natives of Barrow, and for the
Making of a tour of the villages
along the coast of the Arctic ocean
?. f- if lev Cane twice during the
current year, with a view to furnish
in medical and surgical relief and
securiug sanitary conditions. A third
contract has been made nith Dr. J.
H Romig, of Nushagak. in western
Alaska, for furnishing hospital care
and medical relief to the natives of
Nushagak and its vicinity and for the
making of a tour for medical and
sanitary purposes northward along
the coast of Bristol Bay as far as
Togiak and southward as far as Ug
ashik
Dr A i' Uuller has bet-n appoint
?-.l physician in the Alaska school
service, with headquarters at Susit
na and assigned to the duty of ex
tending medical aid ami securing
sanitary conditions among the natives
of the Susitna valley and of the Cook
lulet region. E. O. Campbell, E. A.
Norton, and H. O. Schaleben, the
t' achers of the schools on St. Law
retire island, at Nulato. and Iliamna,
respectively, are physicians, and the
treatment of the natives in their re
spective villages is included in their
duties In addition to the above, the
teachers of Barrow, Wainwright, Icy
Cape. Point Hope, Kivalina, Selawik,
Noatak. Kotzebue. Deering, Shlsh
maref. Wales. Diomede, Teller, Igloo,
Sinuk. St .Michael, CSolofnin, and Un
alaklect. in northern Alaska, and at
Mountain Village. Pilot Station, Rus
sian Mission, Auvik. Hamilton. Koy
ukuk. Louden, Stevens Camp, and
Eagle, on the Yukon river, have
been furnished with medical supplies
to enable them to give nonprofes
sional aid to the natives.
It is pro[K>sed to contract with phy
sicians at Haines and Sitka for the
furnishing of hospital care and medi
cal relief to the natives in the vicin
ity of those places. It is further
proposed to employ two physicians
to furnish medical relief and enforce
sanitary measures throughout south
eastern Alaska, one with headquar
ters at Juneau and the other with
headquarters at WrangeJl. During
the present summer temporary
schools were conducted in the native
camps at Point Elite and at Stikoh
Bay wltn excellent results.
With the co-operation of Mr. C.
C Georgeson, special agent in charge
of Alabka experiment stations, sys
tematic Instruction in elementary ?g
rial i i r 1 1 ii n 1 1 1 1 ' '
rloulture has bwu Introduced as
part of the curriculum of each school,
where climatic conditions render such
instruction possible, special effort be
ing made to Interest the entire na
tive community.
Ia educational work for the natives
throughout Alaska, efforts are mak
ing to shift the center of gravity
from routine work by the children
in the school room to the general
Improvement of the Industrial, sani
tary, and moral condition of the na
tive communities, by a system of
practical education for both children
and audults.
The protection of the Alaskan na
tives from disease and the education
of their children are matters of vital
importance to the race. In order to
accomplish the best results, lcglela
tlon Is desired to enable the commis
sioner of education, through a corps
of physicians and the public school
teachers, to enforce in the native
villages a simple code of sanitary
regulations, with a legal penalty for
its non-observance.
PERSPECTIVE.
Count Zeppelin gave years of
thought and spent immense sums of
money and took all manner of risk
as to his ueck as well us his fortune
and having demonstrated beyond pre
adventure the success or practicabil
ity of his invention and the possibil
ity of sailing with ease and safety In
the air. the Crown Prince pays h'.m
the distinguished honor of taking a
trip with him. and the fact is deemed
as important as the air ship itself an
wired away over here from Germany
and from New York to Nome. In
the assembling of so-called "news"
there art* many things that, at this
distance, seem to loom up "out of
perspective" as the artists say. But
the chances are. also, that Count
Zeppelin considered himself in large
degree repaid for all his risks and
labor on the day the Crown Prince
sat beside him in his ship. That's
innthop wnv Of looking at It ? though
no less strange, for the Crown Prince
has never done any thing inor<- nota
ble than to sit bf-stde this really
?reat man, Count Zeppelin.
Wireless it seems is to be operated
under th<* auspices of th?- army rather
than the navy, and that commercial
business is to be taken very shortly.
This is good news in Alaska. With
the notable success that has at
tend wireless in the north a rapid de
velopment of the service to every
part of the district from Ketchikan
>o the Koyukuk and Point Barrow is
10 be expected. Witness the plans
for Petersburg and Wrangfll already.
The population of Skagwav is In
creasing so rapidly through the sim
ple. natural, anti-race-suicide princi
ple. and wholly without regard to
the immigration question, that it
makes an old resident nervons lest
he may get lost in the crowd pretty
soon when the new people grow up
and take their natural places In the
sidewalk crush. Is'nt It about tine
a new census be taken?
It will be seen that the north coast
fleet Is having its own time this
season. What with the Humboldt,
Cottage City, the Star of Bengal, all
in genuine smash ups, now comes
the Jefferson, laid off for repairs of
slight injuries and the Princess Royal
smashes her $20,000 nose. It has
certainly been an eventful fall sea
season in north coast shipping and
transportation.
Please do not overlook the fact
that our genial brother H. H. Draper
comes out of the session of the
<rand camp of Arctic Brotherhood
at Victoria as one of the officers of
that distinguished body. Our (form
er* genial brother. Godfrey Chelan
der. Is still the grand Arctic recorder
to which office he was re-elected.

COULD NOT WALK
FOR FOURMONTHS
Mass of Itching, Burning Humor
on Ankles? Feet Fearfully Swollen
?Opiates Alone Brought Sleep
Many Treatments Failed but
TORTURES OF ECZEMA
YIELDED TO CUTICURA
"Cuticura Remedies are all you claim
them to be. I had eczema for over
two years. I had two physicians, but
they only gave me relief for a short time
and I cannot enumerate the ointments
and lotions I used to no purpose. My
ankles were one mass of sores. The
itching and burning were so intense that
I could not sleep. I could not walk for
nearly four months. One day my
husband said I had better try the Cuti
cura Remedies. After using them three
times. I had the best night's ??est in
months unless I took an opiate. I used
one set of Cuticura Soap, Cuticura
Ointment, and Cuticura Resolvent Pills,
and rny ankles healed in a short time.
It Is now a year since I used Cuti
cura, and there has been no return of
the enwma.
" I had a small lump in the corner of
my eye for over a year which was verv
painful and got larger all the time. 1
thought I would try Cuticura Soap and
Ointment on it. and now it is gone. I
am seventy-three years old and have
lived on tne farm I now occupy for
twenty-seven years. Cuticura Reme
dies are the safest and most reliable I
have ever used for all skin humors. Mrs,
David Brown, Locke, Crawford Co.,
