The Mao Worship Of Fads in Ed
uCatiOn.

1t is interesting 20 note from time to
time the new features that are inflict-
ed upon the public schools by the ami
able people who consider that there is
no progress in education unless each
month brings its additional fad. The
latest evidence of educational pro
gress' comes from Rochester, New
York Our esteemed contemporary, the
Rochester Democrat and Chronicle,
publishes an inquisitcrial circular
which has been put in the hands Of that
city's high school pupils. This circular
seeks to have the school children tell
the school board all that is to be known
concerning the personal history of
Rochester parents and children.
The young pc>.ple are expected to fill
out blanks upon which inquiries are
printed relating to their birth, nation
atty and that of parents for three gen
erations, age at death of those not liv-
ing, regarding their brothers and sis
tiers, the condition OF their eyes. ears.
hearts, teeth. appetite, the time Of day
when they are in the best spirits,
whether they drink tea and coffee and,
If so, how much, whether they smoke
and if so, what, whether they use al
coholic drinks, how long they have been
to school, which side of the family each
most resembles, the occupations and ex-
periences of their parents before they
were born. and what diseases they have
bad or are common in their families.
some sixty or seventy diseases are
specified and are to be checked Off by
the pupils, if they or their families have
suffered from them
AS a matter of course, the people of
Rochester-those who are willing that
the schools shall be conducted without
the presentation daily of new proofs of
progress net tolerate the new
fad
Such an invasion of the personal and
family life OF the pupils and their rela-
tives,'' says the Democrat and Chron
icle, surely will not be approved by
the people of this city, and, as has been
suggested, The circular should be re-
called as soon as possible. The right
OF privacy in the home, or reticence
concerning one's family affairs. is not
one which can he challenged. it should
be sacredly respected by the authorities
OF the city and the state. We are hard
ly yet prepared in this country for such
a governmental surveillance over the
private affairs Of the people as that
which is so common and SO burdenso2le

Commercial Alaska.

Some seventy large pages of the
Monthly Summary of Commerce and
Finance are devoted to commercial
Alaska, this being the largest
amount of space which has been de-
voted to this great northern district in
any government publication not devoted
exclusively to Alaska subjects.
The fiscal year which closed with
June 80 OF the present year is the first
one during which the statistics of the
commerce which passed between Alas
ma and the various ports of the United
States have been kept. Prior to this
time all estimates as to the value of the
trade of the great northern territory
We're without any substantial basis. The
official figures now available show how
enormously the trade OF the district
has expanded and how vast is its i'm
portance to the United States.
Counting gold and silver bullion, the
trade of Alaska for the last fiscal year
aggregated more than $25,OOO.OCO in
value. During the twelve months ass

Pacific coast ports to Alaska, 399 of
these vessels being steamships. OF this
total number. 400 We're from Puget
sound and 70 from San Francisco. In
Alaska's foreign trade 299 vessels en-
gagged, 1873 of which were American.
These We're largely American vessels
from Puget sound. which entered ports
in British Columbia on their way to
and from Alaska, and thus are credited
to Alaska's foreign trade, rather than
to the domestic trade between Alaska
and Seattle. as was really the case
with them.
The total shipments to Alaska during
the year We're valued at $9.2665Oi, of
which Puget sound contributed S6.15S,-

CO the remainder. The imports from

tic merchandise were valued at s1O,1SS,-

Mining Camp Chivalry.

Among the mine owners of Nome is
a Miss Lena s. Walton. who has shown
herself possessed of pluck enough to
fight single handed for her rights
against one of the most powerful cor
poratiCns in Northwestern Alaska, the
Wild Goose company. principally con
trolled by one Charles d. Lane.
Miss Walton claims prior location of
81 ,0GG, 600 of which the Wild Goose con-
pany has been trying to rob her. Not
long ago the company Jumped" the
claim, selling the mine and making
captive Miss WaltCn's Waterman. Miss
Walton retaliated by recapturing the
place one winter night and then speed
ing on a dog sledge to Nome, where she
Instituted legal proceedings to prevent
further Jumping and to settle the
question of ownership in the courts,
with herself as the party in possession.
The other day Miss Walton and Lane
met and the conversation turned on the
controversy between them. Lane lost
his temper and struck Miss Walton IA
severe blow in the face, knocking her
down.
Even in the effete east the circum-
stances here set down would cause the
Mining magnate to be regarded as !
iow-down cur. If they had occurred in
Bret Harte story or western melo-
drama instead of in real life, Charles
d. Lane would have been ostracized for
jumping Miss Walton's claim and
lynched for striking her. But nothing
of the kind happened. The rough mi

The Philippine Census.

There are very nearly eight millions
of people in the Philippine archipelago,
seven millions of them civilized Henry
Gannett and Victor H. Olmsted. who
were General Sangers assistants in
taking the Philippine census, arrived
in Washington a few days ago and will
begin the preparation of their report as
soon as General Sanger and the census
returns reach Washington.
Mr.. Gannett stated to the Chicago
Record Herald correspondent that the
total population of the islands will
probably be shown to be almost S,C0O.-
co. y rough count of the civilized pee
pie shows a total of about 100000. AL
though it was impossible to obtain an
exact count of the wild tribes, esti-
mates which have already been receiv
ed show the number to be at least Co.,,
600. and it is thought the total will eX-
coed this, as all CT the districts in
hahited by uncivilized tribes have not
been heard from.
is believed the census will show the
population of the islands to be 10 per
cent greater than the most liberal esti-
mates made. The wild tribes are chiefly
in the islands of Mindanao and LuZon,
and consequently the returns from
those islands are indefinite and based
chiefly on estimates. Enumerators were
employed there. but found it impossible
in many cases to get an actual count.

The Gift OF Spelling.

Besides being the seat of the North
western university and various other
educational institutions, Evanston, Hi
nois, is the home of Professor j. Scott
Clark, who makes a fetch of correct
photography. Recently many applicants
fer admission to the Northwestern uni
versity were rejected because of bad
spelling, and a special school was cs-
tablished for instruction in this branch.
How necessary such school is has
been further shown by the discovery of
1909 gross and in some cases mischiev-
Gus errors in spelling in the revised
ordinances of the town. The cost of the
misspelling to the community is sew
eral hundred dollars, the entire edition
OF ordinances having been destroyed
and a new and corrected one ordered.
The blame primarily rests on the COM
mittee OF the common council to which
lie revision was intrusted.
In defense of themselves the members
of the committee have published 4 COM
mUnication to the public, in which they
protest against tie Importance which is
generally given to good spelling. They
affirm that the ability to spell we'll is
direct silt OF Heaven, and cannot be
acquired by those in whom the gift is
lacking. They deny that there is any
warrant for making the ability to spell
a test of responsibility, or even of
learning. and recite that many men who
have been eminent in different depart
ments of enterprise have been constant
ly guilty of erroneous photography
They include in the list George Wash
| ington and many statesmen whose in
teliigence has never been doubted
Probably it IS a mistake to say that
any person with an average memory
cannot learn to spell As there is a
lack of analogy in the spelling of
words, learning to spell is chiefly a
matter OF memory. Repetition is the
only secret about it. There are some
aids, but il is the words 10 which there
is no guide which are the common
source Of trouble. Persons who do not
spell well have simply neglected the
study of photography. and are not en-
titled TO the sympathy they ask. Opera
tors OF typewriting machines who have
considered themselves the victims of
defective photographed memory have
often become good spoilers through
practice. In 4 vast proportion of cases
bad spelling may be traced to wrong
pronunciation, which is even more fire.
quent than is wrong spelling. Prob
ably the modern methods of instruction
have something to do with the number
of bad spoilers among fairly educated
people. The old spelling-be bee system in
sured repetition. In recent years the
writing of the spelling lessons has in
many schools taken the place of the oral
system. The men and women who had
gone through the district school of half
a century or more ago were almost in
variably good spoilers. If, as the Evans
ton councilmen maintain, spelling be Il
gift. it is apparent that it is not be
slowed OH man as literally as formerly.

HAw All AND THE FLEET.

The rendezvous of the ASiatic
squadron at this port is an event Of no
small import to this community. The
social side and the business benefits
will doubtless make the most immed
late appeal to the people who will find
n pleasant relief from the routine
humdrum Of lite in Honolulu.
There Is national side to this visit.
however, that should not escape attcn'
ton. This assembly Of warships rep
resents a partial fulfillment Of the pro
dictiOns and expectations that have
been in evidence for years In the dis.
Cussiou OF Hawaii's future. Far.sec.
ing statesmen realized the importance
Of these islands as a friendly port
for American ships Of war as well as
the great merchant fleet that must Of
necessity grow out of the trans.Paciiic
trade. The eXigenCies of a war
brought Hawaii into the place in the
American nation which had long been
forcshadowed as it's destiny.
Annexation having been accom-
plished. not few citizens seemed dis,
appointed that the merchant and war
fleets did not arrive forthwith. No
wondrous change was Immediately ap'
parent except the civil strife arising
from the struggle OF the people to ad'
just themselves to new conditions.
The croakers were not slow to suggest
that the doll was sawdust after all.
Many seemed TO think that all the
glowing forecasts Of Hawaii's national
importance should be accomplished
with the rapldity of an old'time Ha
waiian revolution.
The lesson Of the past few years has
been that nations move slowly when
gagged by Hawaii's desires, but the
progress of the nation and the world
in which this Territory plays a vita
part Is none the less certain. Hawaii
doesn't lead the procession and Is
mighty lucky to be one Of the way
stations directly in its path. As time
goes on this good fortune will be more
apparent, and the arrival Of the larg
est feet OF warships ever assembled
in these waters Is one of the events
that mark Hawaii's value to the coun
try, a mile stone of its advancement
whether the mission of the country :
war power be one of peace or war.

WATER OWNERSHIP
WILL BE TESTED
UNDER COUNTY ACT

A. \. Kepolkai, as Treasurer of the
Territory, has instituted suit against
Superintendent OF Public Works c. S.
Holloway to prevent, If possible, the
Superintendent from turning over the
local system Of water works to the
County Government.
Auditor Fisher stated this morning
that the department had received a
voucher from Treasurer Kepoikai,
made out to Kinney, McClanahan Il
Cooper, attorneys, calling for two hun
dred and fifty dollars as q retainer to
the law firm named in the case en-
titled as above noted.
The receipt of this voucher was the
first known Of the fact that Treasurer
Kepoikai inteded contesting the Coun-
ty Act In the matter of the water
works 1t came as surprise to the
Government officials other than the
Treasurer.
Mr.. Fisher stated that no warrant
for the $3.50 retainer had as yet been
drawn and that he would issue no
warrant until he had learned something
more of the particulars OF the affair;
until he was certain as to how far his
authority extended in drawing war
rants in matters OF the kind where in
dependent counsel was engaged by Gov
