In these DAYS Of so-cslled higher
education" many, indeed, are the
schools devoted 10 work in the higher
academic subjects. OF course, nearly
all of these schools have a prepare
tory department. where they assist
students to make ready TO enter the
higher department Of the institution,
but there arc few. if any. schools which
specialize in the training of early
childhood, without reference to prac-
teal preparation for higher academic
work.

OVERESTIMATING PANAMA ROUTE.

St. Johns Academy. a military school,
famed for its school spirit and for the
loyalty of its graduates, as manifested
in many ways toward the school
The explanation of this wonderful
school spirit is to be found in the
unique personality Of the Rev. Sidney
T. Smythe. the president Of the school.
He is college and university trained
man of excellent scholarship, but his
research work into the field of higher
education has not led him far away
as is. alas so often the case-from an
understanding of the heart of boy.
So deep is the personal interest taken
by this gifted man in his charges that
he can tell at once, without reference
to notes, the standing of each one of
his boys in each and every subject He
is also familiar with the home condi-
tons and especial needs of each boy.
This is wonderful proof of interest
combined with efficiency, when one re-
members that there are from three TO
four hundred boys in Dr. Smythe's
official family.
The history OF this school presents
many interesting facts. Here. in 1854,
De Koven began his educational work.
Five years later he was called to the
presidency of Racine College. He took
the students of St. Johns with MIN,
and the work here was abandoned. DR..
De Koven felt that Delaiield was the
true location for great school, and
always regretted having been called
from its quiet shades.
In 1883 former pupil Of De Koven,
the Rev. Sidney T. Smythe. came from
his Eastern home and decided that
where his beloved master had begun
his work long years before, there
should be a school which would put
into actual practice that great teach
er's motto: Work hard. play hard,
pray hard" The conditions were espe-
cially favorable for the execution OF
his plan. With the cordial co-opera-
ton and material support OF the
bishops of the Protestant Episcopal
Church in the State Of Wisconsin. the
work was begun on an entirely indie
pendent basis.

edge acquired and the military drill
at the school fit the cadet to serve
his country in capacity to which
every young man is liable in time of
war and invasion. and that the pos
ses sion of small amount of military
knowledge at the beginning has made
lasting fame for its possessor, is
proven by every war in which the
United States has been engaged.
In the war with the Kingdom OF
Spain, forty-thrce "St. johns boys"
offered themselves to the government.
Some served as captains. others as
lieutenants, Others as non-comm.s.

Yates. They did their duty faithfully.

had boys in the navy in the great

of fuel oil is still high, it has de-

Moreover, if the carrying trade be-

There is an old love song entitled
when Dreams Come True" The
sentiment is beautiful. but who is
there that believes that they do?
Yet Fairbanks dreamed of a. rail-
road long years ago. 1t was only a
| dream. though. and dismissed as such.
The first one to make his dream pub
licly known, remarked that he would
stay in the Interior until he could
ride out on the cars He is still in
the Interior
But this is one of the dreams
which is coming true. When con-
gress convenes again in few days,
the Alaska Railroad bill is first on
the docket. 1t has passed through
the preliminary fires. it's weak points
have been strengthened. it has no
determined opposition. and we are
only waiting for the news of it's
passage to flash West and North
Then the real stampede to Alaska
will begin. 1t will. Of course. be no
such rough and tumble affair as the
days Of '98, but North in search of
homes will come the sturdy stock

THE BEST WAY.

The Democrats of Alaska are get

sweeping victory(?).
Now If suggestions are in order
how would this plan work in the
scheme of uniting all Democrats

Democratic official in Alaska dis
charge every Democrat Ono, this is
not a misprint who may be acting
as subordinate or is in any way con-
nected with mis- office Of any such
can be found) and appoint Repub-
licans In their places.
1t seems as though this ought to
be dandy course to pursue. Also. it
is logical The discharged Demo-
Gratis would not vote another ticket
any way. and the Republicans APP
pointed in their places would surely
feel bound to talk all their friends
into supporting a Democratic dele
gate to congress.
Such a course would hardly be in
line with the policy of the administra-
ton, but that is small matter
ANYTHING for the success of the party
Also, Democracy is necessarily diff
ferent in Alaska from that in the
States. Up here it is most essential
that all deputyships be held by Re

Democrats. We feel bound to be gen
erous to a vanquished foe. for did
not the Republicans pursue such
policy while in office? Did they not
fill all subordinate offices with Demo-
Gratis until they had. under the guise
of kindness. weakened the enemy?
If we have any Democrats holding
subordinate Offices, let us be rid of
them at once. Let us profit by the
shrewdness of the Republicans whose
reign was mighty and long. Only
by appointing Republicans to the
deputyships can Alaska Democrats
hope to build up 4 strong organi-
zation in the North().
