SCHOOL NOTES
THE DAUNTLESS ELEVEN
By Margaret Keenan Harrais
cent, from la£t week
I reached into my desk -and
brought forth a package of liter
ature hoarded for just such an
opening. The other work had
made them kin to another race;
this would carry their sympath
ies across seas and begin their
education as little citizens of the
world. Wonderingly they read oi
the opportunity to “adopt” a little
Armenian war orphan at sj
much pei’ month for food, more
for food and lodging, and still
more if clothing and schooling
were added. Long they studied
the pictures of the children in
the orphanages, showing them
at work on the farms or in the
workshops, at school, at play, at
table., or at Sabbath School. All
this it only Americans continued
to help. ‘'Why, WE aie Americ
ansi lnat means us!”
“Wiicie is Armenia, any
way i" “Oil, it’s away over beyond
the Mediterranean somewhere,
and they wear queer tilings on
heads." With these and many
more questions they ail went
over to tne wall maps to tare
their first really interest d look
at the map of western Asia.
“Yes it’s there all right, and
sixty thousands of them just
like us only they haven’t any
homes and daddies!” We’ll take
one, and we’h do it up right
We can divide our clothes with
it.”
And thus a vvondeiful new7
interest enriched and sweetened
life during the long dan* winter.
I knew that tne gen onus min res
would give the omiuien all tilt
money for their monthly pay
ments unless forestalled in
some way; but “The gift with
out the giver is bare,” and I
was not willing for them to
miss the joy of effort and sac
rifice; so 1 taught them Lowell’s
beautiful lines,
“Who gives himself with his
alms feeds three,
Hints* If, his hungering neighbor
and Me,”
and the.v themselves proposed
that they earn the money. So,
month alter month, when Deanie
the treasurer, opened her books
for the month’s subscriptions,
there was an eager scramble
for the head of the list. On one
occasion three waited at her
desk, money in hand, in the
hopes of securing the coveted
first place, while a fourth sice
tracked them all by running
down the toad to meet her.
Even when the thermometer
went down to sixty degrees
below zero and forgot to come
back up there was no slacking in
in the traces. In fact, those
were harvest days, for it meant
more wood to be split and carr
ied in, more water to be hauled
by dog team fiom the river as
the home supply froze up, more
erranus to be run lor those who
did not caie to brave the cold.
The “Dauntless Eleven” never
faltered even when their number
was reduceu to eight by the rem
oval of a family to Kodiak for
the remainder of the year. They
gathered in a silent group
before the picture on the wal
i of a little girl of four or five
years, and gazed long and earn
estly until a husky boy’s voice
exclaimed, “Gosh! we can’t let
her starve!” Each one left just
gave a little more, three-year-old
Molly’O contributed her bit, and

Press Release, Immediate
Juneau, Alaska, Jan. 1(J, 19-h,
The Executive Office of the
Alaska Game Commission has
received another report of pios*
ecution under the Alaska Game
Law at Anchorage by Warden
Hardy.
The case, which contained
three courts, was against Percy
Brubaker and C. F. Kronmiller
of Palmer, Alaska, and was filed
before U. S. Commissioner A. G.
Thompson at Anchorage. The
men were charged with being
non residents and trapping with
out a non resident license, tak
ing of fur bearing animals before
the open season, and trapping
beaver for which no open sea
son is provided.
Upon arraignment January
5th, they entered a plea of
‘‘Not Guilty" and demanded a
trial before the Commissioner
without jury and attorney ser
vice.
At the trial January 6th,
they were found guilty, Brubak
er was sentenced to 3 months in
jail and Ivronmiller was sentenc
ed to 30 days. It is understood
Cronmiller’s sentence was made
less than Brubaker’s in recogni
tion of his being in ill health.
Six beaver skins, which
were seized, were held by the
Court for disposition.
