“If the schools are to be consid
ered a barometer by which to judge
the stability of a commonwealth
conditions in Alaska were nevei
more promising than at the presenl
time.” declared Territorial Commis
sioner of Education L. D. Hender
son, upon his return to the coast
recently from a tour of inspection.
“More schools are being maintained
during the present year than evei
before, a greater number of pupils
are enrolled than at any time in
the history of the Territory, and
more money is being expended for
educational purposes than at any
tine in the past. Alaska is at last
a country of homes and firesides,
whose greatest wealth lies in the
3500 school children to whom the
Territory is not a temporary stop
ping place or a meal ticket, but
‘Home!'
“The .genera! program of the
schools of Alaska includes increased
attention to vocational education,
physical training, scholarship, good
citizenship training, and a higher
grade of teachers. tSatistics show
that Alaska teachers rank with the
best in the States in the matter of
training and experience," continued
Mr. Henderson. “Standard tests giv
en to children in all parts of the i
! Territory prove that Alaska children
and Alagka schools are by no means
: inferior. The records made by chil- j
dren from any grande in the Alaska
schools who leave the Territory and
take up work in schools on the Out
side are still further proof that Al
askans have no reason to be ashamed
of the public schools.
JUNEAU WOMAN PUBLISHES
ARTICLES ON EDUCATION,
Miss Emma Yule, at one time1
superintendent of Juneau Public
Schools and now associate proie sor'
of English at the Universitv of the
Philippines, has recently published
several articles on the education of
women in that part of the woi»d.
An article, “Japan’s New v\ om
i en,” appears in Scribners Magazine
for September. The Outlook for
August 10 contains an article. ‘Edu
cation of Women of Korea.” and a
biographical sketch of the author.
Miss Yule left Juneau in 1909 for
Japan and has devoted her life to
,j the education of the women of that
■ country and the islands of the Pa
cific. She came to Juneau in 1900
I from Everett, Wash., where she was
] superintendent of schools. In 1902
: she was made superintendent of
i schools at Juneau.

Camp 304. October 14. 102
Editor News:—
We arrived at *t.a of steel or
Tuesday non and have been sta'lec
ever since, but we expect * ■> cave
for Anchorage tomorrow afternon
We arrived at Camp 350 on Satur
day afternoon in due time. Mr
Lehr pressed on to IMey creeh a<
350 was overcrowded, but 1 stayed
behind to help some of the w .men
with their luggage. Sunday I s art
ed off alone and overtook Mr. I.eht
at Riley creek. When <ne walks
thru such a countrv as This s he
should be alone, and listen to the
talk of nature—and ?ny ore that
is in harmony with the Infinite can
easily see the Majesty of the Creator
in those mighty and sublime monu
ments. It was the gtear treat of
my life.
Mr. Lehr and I arri red a. Camp
342 at noon and had a splendid din
ner with Billy Bryson. On tie way
to 334 we passed the verk of Pattie
Breen. Pete Jepson, Tom my .Tones
and “Scotty" McFeelv and they were
just tearing into it.
We stopped overnight at Camp
334 and though it was awfully over
crowded, Dan Carol en ficei us up
in fine quarters.
The storm started during the
night and it was a regular cloud
burst. We arrived at '27 next noin
ing at 10 o'clock and put >.p from
the downpour. That evening (Mon
davi the mail team pulled in at 7
p. m. with Mrs. Courts and Geral
dine Patterson and they ■> ere so
helpless from the onslaught of me
elements that they were table to
undress themselves. However, they
were soon made comfortable.
Next morning we ran into a sea
ot slush and deep snow, but reached
Camp 317 at noon and rode in on
the work train to 313 thv. e'eninp.
That day we spent a pleasart hour
with Mr. and Mrs. Wm. McDonough.
On the work train we me* “Scot
ty” Brown. Erick Johnson and Tcm
Kerripan. “Scotty” is stil. a come
dian and pave us ail the news in his
quaint styie.
Judpe Stowe is timekeeper at 313
and he received us with open arms.
We stayed Tuesday and Wednesday
nights at 313 and came up here on
the work train yesterday.
There are about SO transients
here, so that a great many had to
sit by the stoves all night. However,
we met our usual good luck. Billy
Mcl.eod and Matt Hugger heard we
were in camp and took us to their
private car, and we intend to stay
there until the “sourdough limited”
plows her way here from Anchorage.
We met scores of oldtimers that we
have not seen for years, and it was
a joy to run across so many old
friends. Mount McKinley is almost
due west from here and less than
fifty miles distant, and looms up
grandly, but does not leave the im
pression that the Xenana canyon
does.
Anyone that travels thru this
country, if he is fair-minded, can
easily realize the difficulties that
the railroad officials have had to
contend with.
Dave Patterson has just pulled in
with his family. He had as passen
gers Mrs. Kenyon and Mr. and Mr;.
Bajoy and five children. They
weathered the storm but their bag

Mr. Lehr and myself are feeling
fine. as we dodged most of the
storm and the distance to c;ver is
really only a one day hop, I have
just found out that we will leave
on the regular train on Sunday, so
that we are only three days behind
schedule time.

The Commission ferry. Midnight
Sun. operating between Nenana and
North Nenana, was taken from the
water yesterday, being the last of
the Commission mosquito fleet to
go on the ways. Small boats will
! be used to move passengers across
! the river until such time as the
crossing can be made on the ice.
Billy Goodpasture, member of the
train crew operating south from
Healy, arrived in town yesterday on
his way to the hospital at Fairbanks
to go under treatment for an in
jjured knee. He expects to be com
pelled to wear a plaster cast for
about a month.
WRANGELL TO HAVE MILL
j J. G. Galvin, who returned to
Wrangell recently from the east had
the following to say concerning ru
mors that had preceded his coming
! regarding a gigantic project for the
! manufacture of pulp and paper.
"I feel that it is a little too soon
: to do much talking. However. I do I
i not deny that I am working on a
: pulp and paper proposition of con
j siderable magnitude, and the pro
; gress that 1 and my associates have
j made thus far is entirely satisfae
! tory.
•‘We plan to establish in the vi
cinity of Wrangell a paper mill hav
j ing a capacity of 200 tons of news
. print paper daily, and have already
; made arrangements whereby we can
i dispose of 200 tons daily for ten
! years.
“George F. Hardy, one of the■
; ablest pulp and paper engineers in;
i America, has estimated the cost of
the proposed mil! at $7,000,000. En
gineers and cruisers are due in
Wrangell in a few days.
"The first survey will be made
at Mill Creek and Virginia lake. We
plan to construct a 500-foot dam at
the outlet of Virginia lake.
“It is our intension to bring to
gether sufficient water power for the
manufacture of 200 tons of paper
daily, which in round numbers
would require 20,000 horsepower.
“It has been estimated that the
cost of logging and towing in this
vicinity will be cheaper than at any
: other place on the Pacific coast.”
Six one-piece dresses in serge, pri
cot and ladies’ cloth-embroideried,
pleated or plain. Medium sizes.
Priced at $25. Worth double.
