the privilege of attending the Sitka Training School free of all cost. They were caredfor, cloth ed, fed and taught. The pu- pills remained in school through out the year. During the summer months the older boys spent much of their time ill the woods getting out logs. Then they rolled the logs into the wa ter,where a raft was built,which they kedgcd to the bay infront of the school. After rolling the logs out of the water, the boys sawed them into firewood. In this waytheypa back a part of what they had cost the school.
 In the spring of 1907 a number of the larger boys offered to pay a tuition of twenty-five dollars a year provided they be allowedto 90 out of school during the sum- mer months in order that they might cam the money. They were allowed to go. and out of
 twelve boys who made this offer ten returned and proudly paid thetWition fee. It was then arrang e that all pupils whowished to ply twenty five dollars a year to the school could goto their homes for the summer vacation. beginning the first week in June and ending August 31.
 Those who are unable to do this or who donot wish to do it will re main at the school throughout the year. Many boys and girls who have not been willing to en- ter school and remain through outt heyear, may now by paying this tuition spend the months from September to June in the school and the summer vacation with their ownpeople.

MISS haLnerlne R. WllllalnS ana Miss Jane Williams of Lima, Ind. and Mrs. Hume of Berkely, Cal ifomia, spent several days in Sitka and while here visited the Training School. They were greatly interested in the pupils and in the work of the school.
 They believe in industrial edu- cation for the native children. The Misses Williams were so impressed with some of the needs of the school that before leaving they placed at the dispo- sal of the Superintendent a sum of money great enough to enable him to purchase an extra raft of
 logs so that the school may get enough wood to have a years sup ply of fuel always on hand.
 It is a gift that will add much to the comfort and efficiency of the school for the matter of wood getting has always taken much time that should have been spent in training the boys toward skilled  workmanship. Seldom has there been on hand wood enough ready for the stoves so that it could dry It has always been a bay to stove existence as it were, for the fuel supply. Wet wood is not con- ducive to good temper or restfull- ness for those who must burn it. Therefore the matronS will sure ly rise up and call Miss Williams blessed when the results of her gift have taken the form of good wood to burn.
 The Misses Williams also express 5ed themselves of the opinion that some of our old buildings should be replaced with new and modern structures. The teachers and pupils of the school extend their heartiest thanks to these good women for their
 interest and support.
