ALASKAN SCHOOLS
PROGRESS RAPIDLY
Twenty-four New Buildings
Completed by Government
In Northern Territory,

with eighty-nine teachers regularly
employed. the Government schools in
Alaska are progressing rapidly accord
Ing TO a statement made today by the
Commissioner Of Education to the
Secretary Of the Interior.
The total enrolment in the Alaskan
schools for the year ended June 80,
1903. was $500 and the average attend
ance 1,51. During the year that just
closed, twenty-fOur new and modern
school buildings were constructed in
the territory.
In every district where a Government
physician is not located, the school
teachers are supplied with medicines
and medical text books in order that
they may give aid to the natives in case
OF sickness. The commissioner recon-
mends that the Secretary Of the Interior
be given power by Congress to frame
a sanitary code applicable to the natives
of Alaska in order to bring about san
itary living and prevent epideIuics
which occasionally sweep over the Ter
ritOry. He would make failure to COM
ply with the conditions of this code a
misdemeanoT punishable in the courts.
The commissioner reported today that
there are IL Alaska about . 900 domesti-

Joan of Arc.

! The Qualification OF Joan Of Arc a
! Rome has called forth hostile demon
stratfo in France that are certainly
not creditable to citizens of the natior
that may be said, perhaps, to owe Its
existence to the Maid of Orleans and
that abandoned her in her need to
pitiful fate To Joan most historians
give credit for having saved France
from complete subjugation to English
rule in the fifteenth century: for, al
though the army that forced the Eng
fish to raise the siege of Orleans was
only nomfnally under her command and
really led by experienced generals, it
was her presence and the enthusiasm
she aroused that made it an effective
fighting Misunderstanding the courage
of the French soldiers that, with good
cause. too, had fallen to the lowest
point as the result Of a series of crush
ing defeats.
Had Joan failed in her mission-let
that be regarded in any light that YOU
will-what would have probably been
the fate of France? It would seem as
though no human power could have
saved Orleans, where the last stand for
her independence was being made.
With France conquered politically,
would the French language and liter
allure have been absorbed by the all
conquering Saxon Norman nation from
over the channel? Would English have
become a continental language? And
what effect would all this have had
upon the tongue of Shakespeare and
Milton. then in process OF formation
from the blending of the French of the
Norman conqueror and the Saxon of
Alfred the Great and Edward the Con-
lessor? Considering how the French
man clings TO his native tongue and
how it has won its power as the Ian
guage of diplomacy, polite society and
art. may we not ask whether a close
union of the two countries would not
have made modern English show more
of the French or Norman element than
of the Saxon?
The crime of Joan's brutal execution
must rest upon England and France
alike. Upon King Charles lies the
shame of abandoning her when the
held her a prisoner for
ransom. and allowing her to be sold to
the English. Upon the Duke Of Bed
ford, then regent of England, lies the
disgrace Of sanctioning the trial and
execution upon the English Cardinal
and a group of English and
French ecclesiastics, the chief
Of the latter being Pierre Cauchon,
bishop of Beauvais. rests the blame of
lending the sanction of the church to
the proceedings and refusing her pitiful
pleadings to be taken to Rome as was
her right Cauchon presided over the
court and has left a rec
ord of the trial that has everlasting
damned his memory.
Joan was burned alive in the market
place of Rouen on Trinity Sunday.

wild Flowers for the Garden.

Every garden should contain few
wild flowers. The busy woman will
find that they grow without care if
proper soil is provided and VIII bloom
where there is too much shade for
other flowers.
March brings forth the lovely hep
atica, and wild ph.loX or Sweet Will
liam soon follows. Next comes the
wild geranium, or cranes bill, but as
its petals fall rapidly it is not as eff
fective as Sweet William, which will
be a mass of delicate bloom for five
weeks or more. The trillum or wake
robin is another des rable flower. and
wild violets thrive where the cufti-
waited kind will not grow. The Indian
turnip or Jack in the pulpit is ar
interesting plant and a curiosity TO
many who never ramble in the woods
to see it IN it's native abode. All of
these bear transplanting and are sat

Sweet William if you wish the most
desirable for color, fragrance and du
ration of bloom.-Indianapolis News.
