Schools VitQlize
Study of English
Fighting "BIight of Literary
Bookishness" and Making
Expression Chief Aim, Says
Thurston.

Public schools are fighting the
dreary "silenceS of print" Hence
a new interest in dramatic inter-
pretationS and in story telling, to
opercome What one educator terms
the "Eight of literary bookish-
ness"
What Washington is doing to
pitaIize its English course is de-
Scribed by Supt. E. L. Thurston.
English as a tool, rather than as
an accomplishment, and grammar
as means, rather than as an end
in itself, are trpo of the points
about which Mr.. ThurSton is in
SiStent. Likewise literature, he as
Serts, should be impaired to the
pupil as an Interpretation of the
pital, pulsing life about him, and
not as thing apart.

by the governor. and rangers and other
officers of the Forest Service are au-
thorized by the governor to act also az
game wardens. The governors game
wardens have also been appointed by the
Bureau of Fisheries to protect fur-bear-
ing animals, but at present only one per-
son is serving in this dual capacity. For
est rangers. however. are not charged
with the protection Of fur-bearing
the Bureau Of Fisheries have no authority
over the protection of game"
Incongr1ity of the Laws.
The Secretary refers to the incongruity
of the laws which distinguish between
black and brown bears. although both may
be born in the same litter. and to the
protection Of the giant brown bears on
Kadiak Island. which are a menace to
domestic animals and even human life.
He refers to the inadequacy Of the in
spection Of fisheries in the territory. He
proposes that the salmon fisheries and
hatcheries, and the seal industry on the
Pribilof Islands should continue to be
under the control Of the Bureau Of Fish
cries. but that everything having to do
with the land and natural resources. be-
ginning at the shore line. should be
placed under the direction of the pro-
posed development board.
The Secretary points out a provision
of the present laws by which a percent
age of the receipts from timber sales in
national forests must be In building roads
In the forests. and says that this money
was spent last year in building half
mile Of plank road In one place, and
mile Of trail in another place.
Dfvfsion of Road Funds U.eless.
The division Of road funds and con-
struction." he comments, seems wholly
useless and without Justification. II roads
are needed in the sections OF country now
within the forest reserves. they should be
built without regard to the percentage of
timber sales; IL they are more needed
elsewhere In the territory. 1t seems the
heights of absurdity to spend the money
arbitrarily for constructing little patches
of trails and boardwalks here and there
in these reservations, just because they
are forest reserves"
Mr.. Lane points out that there are now
only So miles OF wagon roads, SIT miles
of sled roads and 2.1ss miles Of trails in
the whole of Alaska. for the construction
and maintenance of which about g 600, 900
has been spent. He urges that roads and
trails are as essential to the opening of
Alaska to settlement as railroads, and
that these roads for several years to
come must be built by the government.
The reindeer industry. now monopolized
by the natives, Mr.. Lane looks upon as
the beginning of a great industry which
may have something to do with solving
the meat supply problem Of the United
States.

MiddIetOwn Bids For Lights

The Light and Water Commissioners
of Middletown, have added another air
compressor to the towns water supply
equipment, and have the plant duplica-
ted in every part. Middletown can now
boast of the most complete municipal
light and water plant of any town in
the State, and it is earning money in
each department. 1t is believed by the
commission (which by the way is most
business like one the town has ever
had that after this year the bonded
debt of the town can be reduced with
the earnings of the plant. AS an extra
inducement to get more light patrons,
the commissioners have agreed to wire
all houses free of charge except actual
cost Of material, and furnish all mater
terial at wholesale prices. Half dozen
property owners already have taken
advantage of this generous offer.
