From the present outlook 1t may not he many years before 1t will be possible to board a train of Pullman sleepers at Chicago and be whisked without change of cars into the inte- rior of Alaska. The United States government has already given evl- dence of it's intention to soon begin the construction of railroads in AL aska, and the British Columbia legis lature Is seriously considering the lending of financial aid to the exten- sion of a line that will at least reach the Peace river and later connect with the Alaskan lines. If one could with true prophetic vision depict the AL aska of c quarter of a century hence

Medical inspection of school chii' dren at public expense has grown m nopularity in the last few years ana now nearly all the larger cities nave aoctors and dentists hired for the purpose of looking after the weifars of the school children.
 Defective montal work Is frequently traced to defective physical condi lions. Since the beginning of medica Inspection of school children
 ,mportant facts have been brought to lixht that prove the value of the ex' periments that have been conducted along that linc.
 Ii has been found. for instance. that only one per can't of the school chil- dren have perfect teeth that a large percentage. varying with different To- calities, are slow in their studies as result of defective vision or defective h,oring. are slow In their studies as ! that nothing of that nature was wrona with them.

 The care of the teeth Is considord one of the most important things for school children for poor indigestion caused the poor mastication. invariably results in retarded action.
 In country schools. or In those oi smaller towns there is not the need for medical inspection of children that there is in the cities. for children are usually more hcalthful in the country than fin the large cities.

NOME. ALAskA MAY ss, 1914

Those who were fortunate enough or interested enough to attend the closing exercises of our school last week were well repaid for the time spent by the entertainments which the students and teachers prepared for them and must aroused in them a determination hereafter to give T the school more of their attention and more of encouragement to the student and teacher in their work. The public in general have an interest in the school. are proud of it's success and its standing at home and in the in- stitutions of higher education in the states and yet give manifestations of that appreciation only once a year and neglect a most important duty the rest of the year by not often visiting the school and by their presence man. fest a deep interest in the important work being carried on and thus en. courage the teacher and pupils in their work.
 Why is 1t that this all important duty Is so often neglected by patrons of the school and by business and pro- fessional men who recognize tho i'm portance of the school in the com munity and who are always proud when on commencement day tho young people who have been educated there entertain the public with ora tions which elicit highest praise for their effort which showed excellent training close application to studies and developed reasoning powers and grasp of subpects which showed care full work upon the part of teachers notwithstanding their labores have toe often been unappreciated and they subjected to. unfavorable and often unfair cricisim by the public.
 The commencement exercises held at the A. B. hall Saturday night when three of our young boys delivered ora. tions, which would have done credit to more mature minds and which wns evidence of the character of the wori done in our midst by men and wo' men who have come to us as strang CTS and unaided by the public in gen eral they and the school board per formed well . work second only ir importance to that of the parent themselves in their homes.
 The public neglect of our schools has become almost national evil The national bureau of education hal taken this matter up and has started what is called the "social center movement which is rapidly spreading shsoushout the United states and nAors especially - in the larger citiea

 The report of the bureau of educa- tien has stamped this movement with It's approval and the past two years has seen 1t adopted in hundreds of schools and while the movement Is yet young 1t is destined to be an universal one which will greatly i'm prove the public school system of the United States. Nothing the people of Nome could do for the school would equal that of making the school house the social center for every kind of in nocent amusements. public gatherings etc. which would bring the young people in close touch with the best influences of the community.

SMART NEGRO IS

PRESIDENT DID NOT LIKE THE
WAY THE BLACKS APP
PREACHED HIM.

Washington, D. c., Nov. 12.-Presi
dent Wilson, while receiving a dele
cation Of negroes today who came to
the White House to protest against
segregating the races in government
departments, objected to the tone
adopted by their spokesman, w. NJ
Trotter of Boston, and told the com
mittee that if they called on him
again they would have to get a new
chairman The president decided, he
mad not been addressed in such a
manner since he entered the White
House.
The delegation charged that Sec.
rotary McAdCo and Comptroller Will.
lams in the treaury and Postmaster
Bulleson had enforced segregation
rules in their offices. President VIII.
son replied that he had investigated
the question aud had been assured
that there had been no discrimna.
uon in the comfo-ts and surround.
lngs given to the negroes He added
he had been Informed by officials that
the segregation had been started to
avoid friction between the races
and not with the object of injuring
the negroes.
The president said that he was
deeply interested in the negro race
and greatly amitted its progress He
led the thing to be sought by
the negro people was complete
independence of white people and
that he felt the white race was viii
ling to do everything possible to
assist them.
Trotter and other members at once
took issue with the president, de-
claring the negro people did not seek
charity or assistance but that they
took the position that the negroes
had equal rights with the whites and
that these rights should be respected.
They denied there had been any fric.
tlon between the two races before
segregation was begun.
President Wilson listened to what
they had to say and then told the
delegation that Trotter was losing
control of his temper and that he
(the president) would not discuss the
matter further with him.
After leaving the presidents pri
vate office, Trotter, Maurice, v
Spence and others of the delegation
declare their talk had been thor.
oughly disappointed They declared
they would hold a mass meeting in
Washington Sunday to discuss the
question.
Mr.. Wilson is understood to have
told the committee the question was
not political one and that he would
not take it up on political grounds.
