EDUCATION IN ALASKA
{Continued from last week ]

1. Governmental action should not contribute to the lessening of seli-initiative and self-support, but should rather develop these capa- cities. Although this principle will be universally admitted, the extent bf its application is not clearly seen. The adoption of the reser- yation system for the natives of Alaska would by it's parernal char hcter and artificial barriers be apt to foster dependence and to weaken seli-initiatiye. For these reasons ii i. to be avoided if possible. On !he other hand. the immense value bf constant unrestrained contact with the institutions of civilization will account greatly for the ad- vancement of the natives, provided the bad clements in the social life can be restricted by strict en forcement of the laws already upon the statute books. For these req sons 1t does not seem to me wise to advocate the creation of separate administrative system until after all efforts to promote the advance ment of the natives of Alaska un. der the action ci the police system 9i the district as now constituted, and corps of well organized and :ympathetically disposed body of officials whose business it is to fos- ter the developmert ri the natives have failed.
 ). In the working out of the pol icy based upon these principles due caution should be observed. Those needs for which proper rem edies are apparent should first be attended to. From the experience gained in this process, from con temporaneous investigations car ried on throughout the entire dis trict Of Alaska with view toward determining the proper extent oi the work, the more intricate prob lens may be solved with greater success.
 The following recommendations Tor the extension of the work of this division along those lines which have been indicated as desir- able and in accordance with the principles above enumerated are respectfully submitted;
 l That an effort be made to se- 1ure the passage q law which 1ill grant to the natives of Alaska, lnder proper safeguards. the same tights and privileges under the public land and mineral laws as Those now enjoyed by citizens of he United Statee.
 ,. Tha. an effort be made 10 se- furs the passage of a law reserying from all forms 5f location and oc- Fupancy under the Alaska coal land laws of the coal fields lying near Wainwright and Icy Cape. 3. That an effort be made to se- 2ure the passage of a law confer Fing upon the Secretary of the h. terior the authority to draw up a sanitary code applicable to all the natives of Alaska, and making failure to comply with its provi- eions misdemeanor punishable in She courts.
 1. That an effort be made to se-i pure the passage of law making the selling or giving of liquor to a native a felony.

 attend and at times when his serv- ices are needed in order to support the family and he is actively en- gagged in so doing; and making absence from school for a specified 1 period a misdemeanor upon the part of the parent punishable in the regular courts.
 6. That an effort be made to se- cure such legislation as will enable the Secretary of the Interior to erect and equip hospitals which will serve as centers for relieving disease and destitution and for fur. nishing instruction to native girls in nursing, and to employ physi- clans and nurses for the manage ment of the same.
 |. That an effort be made to se- cure the passage of law which will enable the Secretary of the h. terior to protect the natives under existing laws. Many of the natives are ignorant of a system of laws and of any rights under them, or if they are aware of laws to which they might appeal, they do not un- derstand the process of making that appeal.
 s. That an effort be made to se- cure such legislation as will enable the Secretary of the Interior to pro mote the welfare of the natives by assisting them to establish their industries upon substantial basis.
 g. That an effort be made to se- cure the passage of the appropria' ton for the education of the natives of Alaska in such form that the appropriation be made immediately available and remain available un- til expended.
 Turning now from recommenda- tions in connection with legislation to administrative matters, I would first recommend the appointment of special agents to fight the liquor traffic, in so far as it reaches the natives;
 That the northern and southern districts, as at present constituted, be abolished, and that three dis tricts be established ia their stead that one Superintendent be ap pointed for each of the last two, and >that an additional assistant superintendent be appointed in the northern district;
 That portable schoolhouses be erected in places where the natives remain but short time in spring and summer, in order that their children may receive the benefits of schooling during those months ;
 The employment of teachers for twelve months of the year where practicable:
 That instruction in elementary agriculture be introduced in all places where the ground becomes sufficiently warm for plants to grow during the month of May;
 That small hospitals be erected in northern Alaska, and that larger hospitals in which natives may be trained as nurses be erected at Wales and at some point in the southern part of Alexander Archi- pelago. These hospitals should be fully equipped with beds and such surgical instruments and medical supplies as are needed. Each hos Dital should be in charge oi a licensed practitioner and compe- tent trained nurse;
 That contracts be entered into with reputable practicing physi- clans and hospitals, when such ex- ist, in those regions not tributary to the hospitals under this division, whenever it appears that there is need for their services and suitable terms can be arranged. .,

1t was learned today that the entire

to barracks under arms throughout
Sunday, in order to be prepared to aid
in suppressing disorders in the event
that the police found themselves un-
able to cope with the situation. This
fact was not generally known. The

necessary owing to the sternness and
thoroughness with which the police
handled the situation.

BAIL REFUSED
In the San Francisco Superior Cour,
For Ex-Mayor Sehmitz.

San Francisco, Jan. 13.-Superior
Judge Frank H. Dunno today refused
to admit to bail Former Mayor Eu-
gene f. SchmitZ, whose conviction up
on the charge of extortion was re-
versed last Wednesday by the appellate
court which declared that he was il
legally convicted.
Pending the handing down Of the re-
mittur by the higher court, whose de-
cision does not become final until after
the expiration of 80 days, Judge Dunno
held that the position of Schmitz was
the same as at the time judgment was
passed and the lower court until then
could not take cognizance of the re-
versal. F. o. Drew of counsel for the
former mayor said that the denial of
counsers motion had been expected
and that other methods were con-
templated to have Schmitz admitted to
bail.
