Paul White is with his uncle finishing his boat shop. Thomas Walton holds position as clerk in w. P. Mills & Co.'s big store in town. William Jackson is working in the mill for the same company, and Alonzo Patton has returned to finish his studies at Carlisle. The criticism so often heard that the education we give these children units them for life among their people does not apply in this case, for these four young men have come back and entered right into the lives of their own people and are an inspiration and an unlifting, power to them.-Tbe Sitka Thlinget.
