 From the Thlinget, published month ly at the Sitka Training school, in the interests of the native people of Alaska, we take tbe following news items: The buildings of the Sheldon Jackson school are practically completed and the contractor, M Ayerson, has gone back to Seattle. x X The season for sealing is at hand and the native people are out at Biorka island in full force. Both the native village and the cottages are almost deserted. The boat and crew under the direction of Thos. Bennett were the first on the sealing grounds and they captured ten of the much wanted fur bearing animals of the sea during the first days hunt. The run of herring in the waters adjacent to Sitka is always large, but it surely seemed to be the Largest ever" this spring. Possibly because they ar- rived this year April l.

 There is no occasion to fear secession ppon the part of our northern territory, Alaska, nor is there any likelihood of a serious attempt to procure an ar engagement for the purchase of Alaska by the Dominion of Canada. Neverthe- less the people of the United States proper and it's ruling powers cannot af ford to treat lightly the discussion of such proposal, however remote it may be from consummation. If a large share of the population of any region so manifests it's disapprogal of the ad- ministration of it's affairs as to utter an aspiration for political divorce, no time should be lost in remedying the cause. President Taft, who has had direct eX perience in the government of a colonial possession of the United States. may, from habit of mind, be disposed to regard as nothing more than colony. The view expressed in his December message to congress gives fair under~ standing of the administrators atti tude toward land in which the popu lation is regarded as transient and un- settled. But it is the judgment of his tory that even colonies should be given the greatest possible measure of home rule and relief from interference by authorities dwelling at big distance from the colonial conditions. It may be noted here that a pronounced ten dency of the conservation party is to regard the Western states, where public lands still remain, as colonial possess sions of the Eastern states. That which should be told to the ears of Washing ton lawmakers is that typicalIy min ing region is not settled country in the sense that an agricultural region is. Let the idea of settlement" be dis missed as beside the question. Those who have direct economic interest in the new country are those who are con- cerned by the laws governing it. This is the real essence of settlement" and there is room for the suspicion that this is the kind of settlement which the colonial lords of the East desire to prevent. The opportunities for deVel- oping the native resources are the only incentive for the peopling of the new region, so as to elevate it to the dignity of a sta6e.--Mining Science.

"StiCk to The Farm. F"

Back to the farm is futile, be-
cause on'-r tai'nres come back, but
Stick to the farm is good, because
all that is or can be springs from the
soil.". This sentence, attributed by
Harper's Weekly to Theodore N.
Vail, president Of the great tele-
graph and telephone consolidation.
may not be absolutely true in every
case, but in its general meaning it
is. The men needed on the farm are
not the derelicts or the drifters. but
those able to guide their own course.
1t may be a good thing to bring boys
and men from the towns out to the
farm; but it is a far finer and more
valuable thing to train the young
men now growing up in the country
so that they will love the farm and
make it pay, to educate them for
leadership in the great work of re-
making our rural life. The story of
the country boy who went to the city
and made a great success has been
told thousand times; let US show
the strong, energetic country boy
that he can make just as great a
success in the country. When we
do this these boys, born to be lead
ers of men,. will not feel that they
must go to town to seek their for
tune, and country life will be finer
and better than we have ever dream
ed. What is your community doing
to make it's brightest boys and girls
stick to the farm Raleigh On. c.

The Blue Back.

We are rather glad to see move
ment cropping out for the restora-
ton Of the old ''blue back" speller.
A Teacher, in The Salisbury Post,
cites number of instances of bad
spelling and says the present method
of teaching is responsible for it. He
asserts what is known to be a fact
that the students brought up on the
new methods cannot spell many of
the ordinary, everyday words. The
Post itself, observes that "the old
blue back hasnever been improved
upon, although others have succeed
ed in the schools, but it has come
back already in some counties and
wnen common sense rules the edu-
cational boards of the State and
counties this book will resume its
place again all over North Carolina. "
In spelling contests. where blue
back spoilers take part, it will be
observed that they are generally the
winners. The blue back comprises
the best system Of spelling yet de-
vised. It is old fashioned, but it
beats them all Charlotte Chronicle.
