America is likely to have another blind

tweuty-one years ago. For the past two
years he has been a pupil of the eminent
master LeschetiZky in Vienna, but he

A FAR NORTH SCHOOL.
Pupils of Afognak Fond of Drawing and
Music.

Mrs. C. w. Hammond and her
daughter are the teachers in what is per.
haps the most interesting school under
the Stars and Stripes" says Jerry G
Andrews, a mining prospector of Nome
Alaska. They are the teachers appoint
ed by the government TO conduct the ma.
tive school at Afognak, Alaska.
"Afognak is but little knowa to the
people of the United States, vet il was
the third town started by the Russians
in the early part of last century on the
Pacific. 1t would have little reason t.
demand even the attention of the gov
eminent today were it not for the fact
that one of the best Indian schools con

maintained there. Afognak is ON an
island of the same name in southwest.
ern Alaska.
Mrs. Hammond and her daughter
have the task of teaching the eighty-one
pupils who are enrolled at the Afog
max school and it is not likely that III
all the possessions of the United States
is there such a variety of color or IN
teiligence among the natives who are
being educated. On one thing the ma
tives. from the Aleuts to the Russian
0ctOroonS, are a unit. Every one is the
most devOut of Greek Catholics on Sun
day. On other days they are simply
natives.
1T is probably surprising that Of all
the pupils there is hardly one WHO does
not take naturally to drawing, Why, Il
is astonishing to find that little tots
who are just able to toddle to the school
house are. when furnished with a pencil
aud paper, drawing. Music, however,
is the one thing that wins them. from
the old, gray haired men and women to
the little boys and girls They love
music. They can sing far better
than an equal number of country chill

their fayorite Instruments, too-mando-
Inns and accordions. There is not Il pop
ular air that has been sung in the Unit
ed States in the last ten years that is
not common in Afognak within three
months after the record is made.

In the Early Days

Our forefathers, or rather mothers,
used to do their washing by rubbing
the clothes over a rough stone at the
edge of a creek. Wasn't it a shame
that they couldn't have one of those
one-minute washers that Jacobson &
F'ugelso sells. A small child can run
it. Get one of these machines and
the housewife can sit down and
study the latest fashions while hub
bic runs the machine. No more blue
Mondays with a One-Minute Washer.
