SCHOOL TERM COMMENCES;
NEW TEACHERS IN CHARGE
The Franklin K. Lane school op
ened for the term this morning at
nine o’clock, with Prof, and Mrs.
A. B. Philips in charge as the teach
ing staff.
For the time being no students
under six years of age will be en
rolled. although plans are under
way now that may make it possible
; to enroll in primary work, students
; between the ages of five and one
half and six years. Definite an
nouncement will be made to this
! effect sometime this week, after
the regular students have been en
rolled.
There has been no definite action
as yet regarding high school. There
is a bare possibility of having the
first, or freshman year of high
school but this -will have to be work
ed out after other students are en
rolled. However, all those students
expecting to enter high school
should be in attendance the same as
others.
Night school may be arranged
later, various courses being offered.
Night school will be more in the
form of tutoring than in class work.
Courses will probably be offered in
citizenship (which includes lower
grade class work). English, algebra,
business arithmetic, geometry, trigo
nometry, calculus and various high
school studies.
CAMERAMEN OBTAIN VIEWS
FOR EDUCATIONAL SERIES
C. S. Horner, of Eaton Rapids,
Michigan, and H. N. Nelson of De
troit, returned to Nenana yesterday
from the Kantishna district, where
they spent two months taking mov
ing pictures of animal lifd in that
region which they will later release
in the form of a series of education
al films for use in the public schools.
The cameramen went to Fairbanks
today and will complete their col
lection as they move along the trail
toward the coast, and in the coastal
region of Alaska.
The two gentlemen left Nenana
early in July, with Charles Inger
soll and, upon arrival in the Kan
tishna district, Elam Harnish joined
the party and remained with the
cameramen until heir return to
town. Joe Clark, another well known
oldtimer, also was a member of the
party during the latter days of the
outing.
The cameramen report having ob
tained some splendid pictures of
game and birds, with some “close
ups” of ptarmigan and greyling,
which they caught by hand. In fact,
the ptarmigan were so tame it was
necessary, on several occasions, to
discharge a gun to make them move
before the camera. Many caribou,
moutain sheep and moose were seen
and good pictures obtained of them
also.
No exciting adventures were ex
perienced during the trip, but an
oldtimer of the Kantishna. while
near the photographers, met a big
glacier bear at close range. The ani
mal was only about 20 feet distant ;
! when killed.
! The cameramen were near Copper
! Mountain while staking was in pro
' gress there, following the discovery
j of a rich galena ledge, and they ,
] brought a number of small samples ,
I of the rock out with them, but they i
I did not stake.
The visitors w*ent into the district
' by way of the river, and came out
j over the Riley Creek route. Still
j pictures only were taken along the
i railroad, from Riley to Healy.
The motion pictures obtained will
be made up into one-reel sets, ar
ranged in the manner desired for!
showing in schools. It is probable j
the pictures will not be released for j
I a year and perhaps longer.
The Sheep Creek bridge, which
has been holding up track-laying
operations in the Canyon district
for a week or more, has been com
pleted and steel can now begin |
moving toward Riley again.
Frank Glass went to Fairbanks
yesterday.
