pARENT-TEACHER ASSN
 CONSTITUTION AND BYLAWS

As the Parent Teacher associa' ton is in nowise a secret Or ex- elusive society, and as it is earnest ly desired that all parents and we'll wishers of the children of Skagway become members of 1t, a fuller re- port of its inception and purpose is deemed expedient.
 To a good many thoughtful peo- [ pie who know something of the trend of modern education, it has been a matter of regret that Skag- way has had no organized parent association. Many of our sister towns in the states have such organ izations, and they seem to be pro- duCtive of good in many ways.
 This fall we have as principal of our school, a woman of large heart and wide experience. We also have among us a broad minded man who has had practical experience in educational work, not only in some of the western towns, but in the metropolis of the eastern cities. The time seemed propitious to start such an organization, and it. response to an invitation by the school board a goodly numbe, of men ana women met at the school house on the evening of Oct. 16.
 The meeting was presided over by Judge Conway, chairman of the board. After a social get-acQuaint- ed-wfth-our-teachers session was held, Miss Keenan addressed the meeting. Her remarks were in the nature of a heart to heart talk with the parents and others who have the interests Of children at heart. She pointed out the fact that it was not necessarily a dis advantage for child to live n Skagway, since in the isolated schools the student has chance 10 develop more independence and or iginality than he does under the school system of Q larger city. Pro ceeding, she said that tEe child should be trained in school to the standard that the business world will require of him. The teacher should mark him on what he has done, not on what he has tried to do, That privilege belongs to the mother. The teachers duty is to train the child to efficiency, first, last and all the time.
 Touching upon the teaching of manual training and domestic science, Miss Keenan said that the city school has an advantage oyer the smaller towns, fnasmuch as they have special teachers for the work: but much had been accomplished ill other places and she believed that much could be done here by giving the pupil credit in school for work well done at home The old way was to give John and Mary credit for what they got out of their text books at home. The new way was to give them credit for any work well and systematically dcne at home, be it bringing in wood or raising potatoes, sewing or washing dishes.
 She dwelt upon the interdepend- ence of home and school, and in that connection urged the parents and friends to organize.
 Poultry men, WOOL growers, cattle men, form societies for the raising of better cattle, better sheep, and better chickens; why, she ask ed, should not those interested in raising children unite with a simi- lar object in view? Any person is eligible to a mothers congress, or 2 parent association. who has the spirit to love and foster children. The true teacher, said Miss Keenan,

Ran Away to Escape Term That
He Must Serve in England
When He is Released.

Fred Andrews, the young convict
who made his escape from the peni-
tentiary Wednesday afternoon, was
recaptured early yesterday morning,
20 miles northeast of Turtle Lake.
He was caught by j, H. Olson, depu-
ty sheriff of Mclean county, and G.
A. Webster of Turtle Lake, being at
once turned over to keepers Roy
Biggs and w. I. Anderson, who
brought him back to the prison.
Cricket Of Leave" Man.
Andrews was a "ticket of leave"
man from England, that is he was on
parole from Parkhurst prison, Isle of
Wight. He broke his parole, and
came to this country, being later sent
to the penitentiary here from Lakota,
Nelson county, for the crime cf grand
larceny. He was sentenced to a
three-year term. ...

1t seemed somewhat surprising

Intended to Enlist.
When caught yesterday morning,
Andrews was very detected man.
He explained that he intended to 60
across the line into Canada, and there
enlist in the army for service in Eu-
rope, hoping in that way to escape
the term in the British prison. He
had been travelling mostly at night,
he said, and sleeping in the day time.
He avoided all towns, making wide
detours. Doubtless he would have
been caught sooner, but the hounds,
which were put on his trail as soon as
his escape was observed, lost the
scent at point where he crossed a
creek.
Caught by Post Card.
However, the officials knew that

Peace Society Issues a General
Appeal for Cessation Of
All Hostiities.

Washington, Sept. 12.-Emperor
William has had unde: consideration
for several days, it was learned to-
night, an informal inquiry from the
United States government whether
Germany desires to discuss terms of
peace with her foes. Up to late
hour no reply has come, but on it's
tenor depends, to some extent, Wheth-
er an informal peace movement in
augurated a week ago can be pursued
further with Great Britain, France
and Russia.
Inquiry is Not Formal.
The inquiry. is not formal one, as
the presidents original tender of
good Offices was, but an effort of an
official character to determine wheth-
er Germanys reported willingness to
talk peace is based on fact. The Ger
man ambassador said the imperial
chncellor believed that the emperor
will be, willing to discuss measures Of
peace through mediation.
Among the diplomats friendly to
the allies a view was expressed to-
night that, while efforts to make
peace seemingly have. failed, a sud-
den turn of events might change the
situation.
Peace Society Issues Appeal.
The enormous armaments of Euro
pean nations, compulsory military
service exacted from the people, Sin
satiable ambition of certain rulers
ito increase their personal power"
and "intolerable secret alliances" be-
tween nations are among the causes

The message says:
"The frightful consequences of the
present European conflict are likely
to be beyond the widest conjec-
lures Added to the causes mention
ed, the statement says there are "rac-
ial and religious animosities which
have existed for centuries and the
trade rivalries and jealousies which
have been constantly growing more
acute"
THE burdens and miseries of war;"
the statement adds, "fall not so much
upon the sovereigns of the nations
engaged as upon the millions of men
who are fighting in the ranks, upon
the widows and orphans in the homes
made desolate and upon generations
yet unborn"
