weather prophets through-

Weather prophets through out the territory vary widely in their predictions for the com ing season. Because of tho heavy rains in the interior, the weather sharps of the Fair banks country predict an un- usually pleasant fall, with long, bright, warm Indian summer and a late winter. Cordova prophets, drawing their con- clusions from the early south ward flight of ducks and geese, and other indications, declare for an early and severe winter season. Take your choice.
 There is every indication that before the coming of a new year President Wilson will Lave in his hands the report of the Alaska Engineering Com mission. These men are mak- ing good progress in securing surveys of proposed routes for government railorads and data concerning the probable re- sources of the country. It is expected that early in 1915 an~ nouneement will be made of a route selected for the construe- tion of the first railroad. Comparison shows that Alaska has an area of 5S6,400 square miles and a population of 6l,. 3o6. Sweden, Norway and Finland combined have an arsa of 4il,576 square miles and a population of t0,SSi,S30. The three European countries are in the same latitude with Alaska, and climatic conditions are said to be practically the same. The figures illustrate what oppor- tunities exists for development in Alaska.

Finances

On the subject of finances the report
has the following
The gradual expansion of the school
system is, each year, entailing greater
expenditures. The total expenditures for
day school purposes for the past year
has been Sc, 21S.67, cost per pupil of
S2S. 81. This is slight increase over that
of last year. during which it was s2SN.
This increased per capita cost comes
from two sources: From the Cony High
school, in which there has been an addi-
tional teacher this year, and from the
new Grammar school, which has bee
more expensive from the standpoint of
general maintenance than the Middle
Street schoolhouse.
The increased cost of our schools is
the most striking condition that serious
ly attracts the attention of many citi-
zens. The school department makes no
effort to deny or conceal the fact that the
total expense of carrying on our schools
has largely increased and that the ten
dency will be for it to continue to in
crease SO long as we devote ourselves to
the task of supplying the right kind of
an education to all the children within
our city. l am herewith submitting a

Annual Report of
Supt. II. II. Stuart
OfAugusta Schools

The first annual report of Herman
II. Stuart as superintendent of the
schools of Augusta for the year 1913
has been submitted to the Board or
Education and is an interesting and
valuable document
The report opens with reference to
ting new Grammar school building at
the corner of Stone street and the
Thomaston road, in which he describes
the building in a general way and sets
forth its many advantages over the old
building which long served as Its pre-
decessor. Continuing, the report says;
With the completion of this build
ing it has been possible to organize
the schools of the East and West sides
into parallel systems, we'll co-ordinat-
ed and in harmonious adjustment.
"A modern school system should UNI
dertake to give to all the children of
all the people the kind Of education
that is best suited to the child in the
light of his future work. This means
that he shall become intellectual not
only in respect to things found in
books, but that he shall also become
intellectual in respect to things So
cial and economic, things that have a
direct relationship to the work he is
to do after leaving school. Upon this
principle the foundation of the Au-
gusta School System has been laid,
and the superstructure is we'll under
way. If, however, we are to build
substantially and economically, and at
the same time progressively, we must
avoid too great conservation on the
one hand, and on the other hand, We
must not be too ready to adopt new
theories without carefully studying
them in relation to the community and
our educational facilities, for there are
'frills and fads' in education as well as
in other things.
1.-THE past few years have been
years productive of "a great deal of
educational criticism. This criticism
has had to do with almost every phase
of the school curriculum and its ad
ministration. From this criticism there
has come forth the following school
administrative policies that are very
generally acknowledged to be not only
desirable but necessary in every pro-
gressive public school organization:
Il. The establishment of kinder
gartens throughout the city.
40 Special provision for children
who are backward and physically de-
fective.
"3. The development of industrial
education through trade and continue
ton schools and part time courses that
are usually connected directly with
the leading industries and occupations
of the city.
"A. The introduction of Manual
Training and Domestic Science.
Careful school supervision for the
health of the children"
Then follows brief discussion of
these desiderata in relation to the ex-
tent of their introduction and opera
ton in the Augusta school system.
An item of interest in the report is
the following table showing the total
enrolment for the first six months of
each school year for the last seven
years, also the average attendance and
the percentage of attendance for the
same time: y

MOTHERS DAY
Observed Sunday Evening at the Green
Street Methodist Church.

Mothers day was observed Sunday
at the evening service at the Green
Street Methodist church in Rev. Dun
nacks talk upon THE Place of Wom-
an in Modern Life" The keynote of
the talk was that woman's supreme
achievement is motherhood, and Mr..
Dunnack emphasized three points:
First, that woman has the key to the
child's physical nature; second, that
woman has the key to the child 5
mental nature; third, that woman has
the key to the child's spiritual ma
ture. And he brought out the fact that
God has placed the destiny of the fu-
ture in the woman of today.
