Road Work In the
Diamna District Is
Begun by A. R. C.
The Iliamna district will shortly be
the scene of much activity in road and
trail construction by the Alaska Road
Commission who are sending from the
Anchorage headquarters this week a
crew of men with the necessary
equipment and supplies to cut thru a
road from salt waler to the village
located a few miles this side of the
lake.
Hawley Sterling, superintendent of
road work in this district, is going
with the party personally to supervise
the beginning of the work. With the
completion of this road it is stated
the connecting link will be made in
traffic from Shelikof Straits to the
Bristol Bay district which will elimi
nate many days of overland travel
and will also expedite the delivery of
mail matter in a much more appreci
able manner. The completion of the
trail will mark an easy and accessible
road to the Inlet, from Bristol Bay up
Kvichak river, thence across the lake
and over the new trail, a distance of
a few miles, to salt water
ENGLAND APPROVES AUTHORITY
GIVEN BY CABLE FOR MARRIAGE
LONDON, June 5.—(jP)—Marriage
authority by means of cable has
been officially approved by the Brit
ish government. It was announced
recently that the foreign office, upon
payment of the cable charges, will
authorize marriage officers resident
abroad to marry couples whose banns
have been published for the requisite
three weeks in a British register of
fice.
A bride who recently was forced
to leave England to join her fiance
in South America before the three
weeks elapsed applied to the foreign
office, which met her wishes and
upon her arrival in South America
she found the necessary authority
awaiting her there.
Actors, writers, taxi drivers, four
senators and a field marshal are
among the members of a Paris club,
all of whose members must weigh
over than 200 pounds each. There
is no other requirement for mem
bership.
A new automobile racer being
built in London for Malcolm Camp
bell, is expected to make 180 miles
an hour. Campbell attained a speed
of 146 miles an hour in a race last

COMMISSION REPORTS
SIMPLE EDUCATION AS
GREAT NEED IN AFRICA
NEW YORK, June 5.—(£>)—'The
natives of Africa are at present on
the sidelines, watching European and
Asiatic settlers play football with the
future of a continent rich in natural
resources and the great question
mark in international peace and pros
perity, says the official report, of the
Educational Commission to East Af
rica, issued recently by the Phelps
Stokes Fund.
The commission spent six months
in the field, traveling from French
Somaliland to Cape Town, and sup
plemented the work of a similar
group which studied West, South and
Equatorial Africa in 1920. The chair
man of both commissions was I)r.
Thomas Jesse Jones, educational di
rector of the Philps-Stokes Fund
which was founded in 1908 to pro
mote Negro education in the South
and in Africa. In the African stud
ies the American and British gov
ernments and the missionary soci
eties of Great Britain and North Am
erica cooperated by lending experts
to serve on the commissions, and the
British government tendered Dr.
Jones an official dinner at Lances
ter House, London, on his way back
from Africa.
Dr. Jones, who writes the report,
calls for the inclusion of the native
in a plan of cooperation wrhich will
include governmental officials, mis
sionaries, settlers, and traders. He
looks to the European nations, which
control all of Africa, except Liberia
on the West Coast of Abyssinia in
the east, to take the leadership in
working out a definite plan and not
leave it to the individual and unco
ordinated efforts of the governors of
the various colonies.
Richly endowed by nature, Africa
has been losing ground in the man
I power essential for unlocking this
great physical wealth, says the re
port. The heritage of the slave
raids, the ravages of disease and an
I ignornce which permits malutrition in
a land of plenty are all given as
causes for the sparse population. The
African problem is essentially a pop
ulation problem, Dr. Jones writes.
The solution he recommends is
stated in terms of education intelli
gently adapted to the needs of na
tive life. Simplicity rather than com
plexity is urged, and Dr. Jones gives
as his basic “simples” of education:
(1) health and sanitation for a land
where the infant death rate ranges
from 300 to upwards of 600 per
thousand: (2) training in crop pro
duction, animal husbandry, food pres
ervation and the farm trades for a
people who are often decimated by
famine in a land of plenty; (3) pro
per understanding of the “decencies
and safeties of the home,” including
preparation of food, provision of pro
per clothing and care of the ill; and
(4) healthful recreation and amuse
ments for a people notorious for the
physical and sexual excesses of their
primitive games. He pays high tri
bute to the character-building influ
ence of the Christian religion; at the
same time he -would salvage as much
as possible of native traditions and
customs, modifying them and direct
ing them into the proper channels.
The report also recommends that
a director of education be included
in every territorial administration,
and that the pioneer and continuing
importance of the missionary schools
be recognized by grants-in-aid. How
ever degraded her status in any tribe,
the African woman wields great
power over the health and the home
life of her family, and education is
therefore every bit as important for
the girls as it is for the boys. Hand
in hand with such development of
education of the masses should go
adequate provision for the thorough
training of a native leadership which
is becoming increasingly essential
to a peaceful working out of Euro
pean responsibilities in Africa.
Hugh Miller of Benton Harbor,
Mich., while illustrating an execution
he had seen, slipped from a chair
with a rope around his neck and was
strangled.
War has been declared by Soviet
Russia on wolves v*Thich have de
voured about 150,000 horses, cat
tle and deer this spring, and the
army will be used to exterminate
the ravenous beasts.
