WOULD CUt SIZE
 ALASKA FARMS
flee, Would Have Alaska Farms Only 160 Acres.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 30.-Commis- sioner Tallman, of the Land Office de- partment, has made his annual report and in it the commissioner advises that the size of homesteads in Alas ka be cut from 32O acres, as at pres ent, to 160 acres, and that period of six months of non-residence on the homestead be allowed by the de- partment
 Commissioner Tallman also recom- mends that even though citizens have located homesteads in the states and proved up on them. that they be al lowed to locate in Alaska regard less of the same, as the question is one of securing the greatest number of homesteaders and residents in the , north and therefore less obstacles should be offered to the locators of land in Alaska than elsewhere.

NEW SCHOOL HOUSES
Aids to Construction and Selection Of
Site

The United States government,
through it's Bureau of Education, is
rendering a valuable service to mod
ern education by collecting and send
liz out information regarding modern
school buildings.
The bureau is in position and ready
to furnish wealth of suggestion and
counsel to those contemplating
school house improvements. They
furnish the standardized floor plans
which have been adopted in various
sections OF our country and give ex-
amples of the best types of buildings
in our country.
1t has been estimated that this
country spends approximately seven
ty millions of dollars annually in the
erection of public school buildings.
This sum does not include buildings
for normal schools, colleges, and uni
versities.
BY making use of the information
which this bureau diffuses. on recog-
nized standards of schoolhouse con-
struction, substantial sums may be
saved and improvements made at the
same time. Also the cause of educa-
ton is promoted in our country.
while we profit from the experience
of others.
We are told that the first thing to
consider, when a new building is
needed. is the location. Convenience
for all the pupils first, then locate on
soil as free from moisture as possible
then on an open lot not hemmed in
by other buildings, then freedom from
foul air, much dust, and the din of
hurrying multitudes. Residence dis
tricts are the most desirable location
for school buildings. 1t is well to con
slider the proximity of factory, rail-
road and similar nuisances.
The school board, knowing the
needs, have had these points in mind
as they have investigated and re-
ported.
We need your cooperation,
II. H. Webster. Secretary.
