MOST SCHOOL
CHILDRENBORN
IN TERRITORY
More than half of the white school
children of Alaska were born in the
territory, according to a census re
port from L. D. Henderson, superin
tendent of public schools in Alaska.
Superintendent Henderson bases his
statement on reports received from
forty-eight of the sixty-three public
schools in the territory.
Of the 2,290 children enrolled in
these forty-eight Alaska schools, 1,138
are boys, 1,152 are girls. More than
1,300 of the number wer^. born in
Alaska. These figures do not include
Indian boys and girls who attend the
government schools.
At the present time, as emphasized
by Superintendent Henderson, no fed
eral aid is being extended to the- edu
cation of white children in Alaska. At
the same time the territory is bearing
a considerable part of the expense of
education of the Indian children, due
to the fact that a great many chil
dren of pure blood, as well as those
of mixed blood, are attending terri
torial schools established for whites.
Next to Alaska, Washington state
has contributed more children to
Alaskan schools than any other sec
tion of the country, although more
than forty-one states are represented.
In addition to this large representa
tion of states, native-born sons and
daughters of twenty-one foreign coun
tries are being educated in the public
schools of Alaska.
Superintendent Henderson estimates
that approximately 1,000 more pupils
are in the schools which have not yet
submitted their reports.
Each year Alaska sends a percent
age of her high school graduates to en
ter colleges and universities through
out the states. Of these, the Univer
sity of Washington draws a greater
percentage than any other institution
in thn land
With the reorganization of the Sour
dough Club at the state university
last fall, nearly fifty students from
Alaska answered the roll call from
Nome, Fairbanks, Anchorage, Seward,
Valdez, Cordova, Juneau, Douglas,
Ketchikan, Wrangell and other towns
«of the northern territory.
In these same northern towns today
many of the young business men are
Alaskans who started to school in the
Northland, finished in business col
leges or universities in the States, and
have returned to establish businesses
and homes in the land that they love
best.

GHOULS ROB GRAVE
OF YOUNG WOMAN
Disinter Body and Strip It 'of
Jewelry Said to Be Worth
$1,500.
Chicago.—When Clara Gunderberg
died, seven years ago, her engagement
ring went to her grave with her in St.
Boniface cemetery.
* Detective Sergeant Steve Barry dug
Into the grave recently and made the
discovery that ghouls had stripped the
remains of the engagement diamond,
taking with it two other rings. The
three articles of jewelry, buried with
the girl, were worth $1,500. The police,

Grave.
street, and Charles Bigelow, superin
tendent of the graveyard, are co-oper
ating in a search for the ghouls.
- The girl’s mother, who lives at Her
mitage and Hyland avenues, and is
widely known in North side German
circles, visited her daughter’s grave a
short time ago.
The earth appeared to her to have
been turned and soft. She suspected
It had been tampered with and imme
diately notified Superintendent Bige
low. She later went to the minister.
He asked the police to investigate.
Sergeant Barry found the grave had
been dug up and the top torn from the
coffin. He could find no jewelry in
the remains. Graveyard officials have
asked the police to again open the
grave and turn the coffin over for a
more thorough search for the rings.
“The grave unquestionably had been
opened and the rings taken,” Sergeant
Barry reported to Capt. Max Danner,
head of the Summerdale police.
Records show that the girl died in •
Lakeside hospital in 1912 after an op
eration.
