the last train were certanly enjoying
their trip.They are now on their way

outdoor Camp Savage .While here all of
them inspected the Chitina school and
Public ‘Library which is comparatively;

with the fine school supplies and the
large collection' of books.The Chitina
school has 8 pupils now,& the school
where these touiist teachers teach in

Dad tells us that we Should study the
big' newspapers & wee how they do thi
ngs and why. He says that is the best
way to study -Journalism. He said that
anything we don't know or understand

thing. But the other d<ay we asked him
why the big newspapers of California
had made first page news of Ammie
Simple rc?hers'on for t he l*st few yea.

he had to* admit he doesn't know.. But
he did say it reminded him of the’ sto
ry of how the bag-pipe came to be in
vented. The Irish made’it & sent it o
ver to the Scotch & they didn't see
the joke 3c kept it serious. But of
course Bad had to ring,in a dodge of
some kind & he said that there were
some reasons that he'knew but .that we
would not understand,& we knew right
away jrhat he meant some of that cosmic
ray stuff that We hear so much about
nowadays, *
