WOMEN AS TEACHERS.

Few people will probably agree
with the assertions recently made
by Rear Admiral Chadwick and
Thomas w Churchill, president of
the New York board of education,
that boys should not be taught by
women. The fallacy of the assertion
is proved from the fact that nature
has made the mother the principal
teacher of her young, and that in
s,ruction by men is more or less
artificial
The ability Of women as teachers
has become universally recognized,
and there are few vocations in
which women demand higher sal
airy than in that of teaching.
1t is asserted by the critics men
toned. that women teachers have
he effect of making men effeminate
That may he true with boys who
are inclined to be effeminate, but
the average boy needs the effemin-
ate influence to moderate his ma
tural roughness.
If a boy is to be trained as IN
the early days of Sparta, %
become a blood-thirsty soldier, then
womans influence would be de-
trimental to his training, but if he
is to be trained for the demands
of modern civilization, then wom-
ans teachings are beneficial to him
If it were not for the influence Of
women. society would make little
progress, and we probably would be
degenerating rather than improving.
Experience proves that when men
are left to themselves they become
more lawless and coarse. This was
made evident in the early days of
California. when the country was
inhabited by no one but miners. it
was also made evident in every COW
boy district in pioneer times. but
the conditions made notable improve
ment as soon as the refining in
fluences OF womanhood were intro
duced

UNJUST CRITICISM.

Several newspapers, especially
those, it seems, which are opposed
to the Wilson administration Oh
general principles. are criticising the
President for not receiving Bishop
Rowe, of the Episcopal diocese of
Alaska, when the latter called at
the White House some time ago.
The criticism, from what infor.
nation is at hand, is far-fetched and
wi ,hout justice The great mass OF
business that the President of .
nation as great as the United States
must wade through each day cannot
be put aside at the instance Of
every prominent man who calls al
the White House. and senators ana
congressman can only see him by
appointment. Thus it is no refle>
ton on Bishop Rowe that the Pres
dent was unable to see him when
he called, for many men OF equal
prominence have had the same ex
perience when calling on the Pres
dent
The inference that Bishop Rowe's
failure to see the President wa
due to relig Gus matters, is an insult
not only to the Presidents secretary,
who is said to be a Catholic, but
to the President as we'll. The
President is Protestant, and the
fact that he employs a Catholic
secretary and is awarding lucrative
appointments to men of all religious
faiths, shows the fallacy of such
weak criticism. 1t would be safe
wager that Bishop Rowe has never
inspired in any way the criticism
that some of the papers are max
ing in his behalf, for he is a man
Of too broad ideas for such thing.

The Citizens ambition is to en-
roll at least 80 per cent OF the

as circumstances will permit.
The Citizen has been credited by
other periodicals in Alaska with be

Ii would have been jus: as easy
for the receiver of the bank TO have
made some explanation to set hiih-
self right in the eyes of the deposi-
tors as it was for his newspaper
to try to befog the question by
making counter charges. The fact
hat so many depositors had petition
ed for Noyes' removal from the
receivership would seem to impel
him to make some explanation in
behalf OF himself and to offset the
general sentiment that he is incom-
aetent to do the work for which he
being paid.
From the start. The Citizen has
,ried to be fair with Noyes. Be
fore this newspaper showed up the
situation OF the Moves receivership,
Moves was urged to make some sat
isfactory explanation. the assurance
being given that whatever he had
to say IN his own behalf would be
printed verbatim in The Citizen.
In the face of this. the Noyes news
paper began Its systematic effort
It misrepresentation to induce the
public to believe that Noyes was the
object of campaign OF unjust
criticism.
As far as Noyes' private life Is
concerned. The Citizen knows little
and cares less. In his private life.
Noyes may be good man; good to
his family and financially honest
IN his dealings, but as far as his
public life is concerned he has laid
himself open to much criticism, first
as lax dodger. and, second, by
failing to show to those entitled to
knoN why he is not trying to work
N their behalf,
Whenever Moves shows a tendency
o do what is right by those who
are paving his salary. The Citizen
will be with him and support him,
Just as il will aid any man who
tries fully to perform his public
trust. He can prove this by show
ing this paper and the depositorR
of the Washington-A Alaska bank a
reasonable excuse for failing to dis
tribute the money needed by them
and by making some showing n
the matter of conducting his work
economically for the benefit of the
depositOrs.

WILSON'S DEMOCRACY.

The only active critics of President
Wilson seem to be those men who
are disappointed in his not remov-
ing competent men from office to
give less competent men good APP
pOintive positions. This, however.
should serve as a compliment for
Mr.. Wilson rather than a criticism.
One of the strong elements in Mr..
Wilson's nature is his ability to rise
above the ordinary class OF politi-
clans, and follow the path of duty
o the people, rather than the way
pointed for him by selfish interests.
1t is the one thing more than any
thing else that makes him really
great statesman,
Everything else being equal, it is
only proper and right that the men
who have assisted Mr. Wilson 70
reach political success should re-
ceive favors at his hands in prefer
ence to those who have opposed him
politically. IT is noticeable that the
President is doing this. but it is
also noticeable that the men of his
party who receive appointments
from him are usually as capable
and frequently more capable. than
the men they succeed The people
at large realize this and appreciate
i. because the people as whole
are reasonable and just In their de
AUCTIONS.
1t is to be expected that the
President will make mistakes in his
appointments, for he has not the
time personally to look INTO the
standing of every man recommend
ed to him for appointment. But he
has been fortunate in surrounding
himself with cabinet that under
stands his policy in this regard
and no member OF his official
family can afford to support the
application of man OF question
able ability.
President Wilson is a Democrat
in all that that word signifies,
but he would not be entitled to that
distinction if he played into the
hands of unworthy political agitat-
ors. 1t is to be regretted that the
world is not filled with such broad
minded men as Woodrow Wilson

BOND SALES NEEDED.

Notwithstanding the fact that the
city of Fairbanks has been expert
encing a hard time in making its
financial ends meet, this city, com
pared with the average city. is re
markably free from debt, and what
is more, it must remain so until
he laws are changed in manner
to permit the city to acquire an
Indebtedness for necessary improve
ments
The right to acquire limited
amount Of Indebtedness is something
for which plea should be made
to congress at the earliest possible
moment, in view Of the expected
growth of the city with the building
of the new railroad.
If congress would allow the city
Of Fairbanks to acquire an indebted
ness equal to certain percentage
of its total assessed valuation, 1t
would be able in a reasonably short
time to reduce its operating ex-
penses materially

IGNORANCE OF ALASKA.

How the North must overcome the
ignorance of the world regarding
the climate here is aptly set forth

norance is the basis of the ditty
The youngsters are not to blame
Their fathers and their mothers
their sisters, their cousins and their
aunts know no better.
This northern empire of Yukon
and Alaska has a campaign to con-
luct. To dispel that mass of ignor-
ance respecting this region is no
child's play. But constant hammer
ing will get results. The fact great
railways are planned for this re-
zion will be one eye-opener. The
distribution Of the daily weather re-
ports throughout the continent would
be a revelation. A few of the Out
side papers print these reports. The
acknowledgement is one, and it had

supply, Thus the city is paying
about $500 a month for a pressure
of water that it could maintain at
a less cost if owned by itself
IT, however, congress grants the
city Of Fairbanks the right to sell
bonds for public improvements. the
necessary utilities could be acquir.
ed and more than paid for from the
money thus saved.
An example of what can be done
in Fairbanks is now being accom-
plished in Dawson, which has sold
bonds for a number of public utili-
ties, including its electric lighting
system.
Several years ago Portland sold
more than s2.00OOoO worth of bonds
with which it built its own water
works, with the result that the city
has reduced the cost of water to the
consumer to one-third the price paid
formerly to the privately-owned wa
ter company.

THE MOVES SITUATION.

Several weeks have passed since
The Citizen asked F. G. Noyes, re-
ceiver for the defunct Washington
Alaska bank, why he withheld from
distribution among the needy deposi-
tors more than $4,000 belonging to
them; why he did not reduce his
office force in accordance with the
reduced business Of the office, and
why he did not in other ways try
to save money for the depositors,
whose money is paying his salary
Noyes refused to make explana-
tons, but through the paper owned
by him there has since been an in
sistent effort to sidetrack the ques-
ton and make it appear that The
Citizen was actuated by selfish in
terests in its attempt to see that the
depositors of the bank received JUS

SUNDAY LAWS UNJUST.

Enforcement of the Sunday closing
law is not being taken amiably by
the people of Nome, according to the
newspapers publ shed there. OF
course, the law is being obeyed, but
its enforcement has occasioned
much resentment on the part of the
people, who have been making MI
merous protests, and plans even have
been made for securing the removal
of the officials who We're responsible,
for the enforcement of the law.
1t has often been asserted that the
best way to get rid of bad law is
to enforce it, but here in Alaska
where people have little power in the
making of their laws, this rule will
not hold good
l. would seem that the matter Of
closing stores and saloons on Sun
day should be determined by the
people of each community and there
is serious question if any such
law, except where morals are involv-
ed. would be declared constitutional.
If a thing is immoral and wrong
on a Sunday it would seem to be
so on every other day of the week,
and it does not seem that here is
much justice in law that inter
feres wi h a persons religious obSer-
vance, at least the Constitution Of
the United States so asserts.
II any mans business or work in
terferes with another's religious OBJ
servances, it can be seen wherein
a law might be made to prevent
it, but the mere closing of stores
and preventing men from working
on Sundays is interfering with in
dividual freedom unnecessarily.
Taking it strictly from religious
view, Sunday closing is class legis-
lation, for there are many classes If
good people who do not observe Sun
day as a day Of rest, unless forced
by law to do so. Among these are
the Jews, the Seventh Day Advent
lists, the agnostics and people Of
many religious faiths other than
that of Christianity.
The injustice of laws like the
Sunday closing law, from relig-
ious view, would be forced upon
people If, for instance, the Christians
should be forced to observe the
Jewish sabbath. We cannot truth
fully say that We are in country
Of full religious liberty as long as
peoples liberties on Sunday are in
terfered with.
