TYPOGRAPHICAL ERRORS

While the interval Of time be- tween the evening of December -4th, 1914, and that Of Dec. 2d' 1915. is only . matter of a l"tIe over eleven months, it would doubt Iess seem like a "long time be- tween drinks" to an old toper and would also be long though for an cpl rapb to be composed and inscribed upon the headstone Of any paper not issuing between those dates but ehrough a typographical error ;Aar was what was announced would occur to the Daily Alaskan in it's columns Thursday afternoon The mistake in print was so pal pablo, however, that no one was deceived by the statement, and our appearance today is a further indication that We are very much alive and still doing business aE the old stand.
 uLLL GLLlAldI NAASGo GA Q AACN uncommon occurrence in other pub lIcauons Is we'll known and an in- cident which happened in the ministerial career oi the Rev. L. H, Pedersen of skagway, as related to Us by himself this morning, is a gLse in point.
 The theme of his discourse on One occasion was The Christian and Ills Deeds" a copy of which was handed to the local paper for publication. The compositor put It in type as "The Christian and His Duds.' and the error, es- capIng the pencil Of the eagle-eyed proot-reader, went through without correction.

NrETLAkATLA REINDEER HERD
 EVIDENTLY DESTROYED

Another reminder Of the necessity of a bounty on wolves Is brough1 close to home in a manner that leaves no doubt ia anybody's mind.
 It is only a few weeks ago that the government brought a small herd of reindeer from the second di- vision to experiment on Annette is- land The reindeer were brough; and turned loose to take care of themselves. IL was not long be- fore they were scattered all oyer the island. One died few days later on the beach. Others re- mained away. Later, the supposed leader returned minus considerable Of it's hide and hair, showing evi- dence of a desperate encounter.
 A native Of Metlakatla reports that the reindeer are Gll miss ing now and the presumption is that they have all been killed by wolves.

TEACHING TEACHERS THE
NEED OF GOOD FRESH AIR
By WILLIAM BRADY, NJ. D.

OUR friends the teachers have taken
Ous to task for writing as we do about
the schoolroom. They agree with our
principles, OF course-who wouldnt?-
but they insist that they are bound down
by rules and regulations from above.
Well, when 1t comes TO first aid in tho
matter Of fresh air teacher should be
right there with her hands. She should
oren window when she feels like it, and
II anybody offers any objections she can
faint or threaten to faint Surely, not
even the board member would deny a
teacher the right TO open window if she
were about to faint for want Of breath
Of air.
1t is very easy to tell the teachers how
to run the schoolroom, we admit that
But Doctors purpose Is to tell folks how
to live, eat, work, play and keep well.
The teachers are our first lieutenants in
the advanced trenches, They get the
first shot at the oncoming race 1t is up
to the teachers to instill in the minds of
the children Il wholesome regard for fresh
air, clean teeth, straight shoulders and
the golden rule.
One young teacher stood the 50 degrees
and the deadly atmosphere of the school
room until her lungs panied and her
heart ached at the drowsiness of the
children. Then she up with her rule and
smashed out a window-oh, but she was
a teacher!-and the board didn't fire her
either. She broke the boards rule with
one of her own, so to speak and the
board didn't dare to punish her
We are strong for married teachers
not that we have any particular aversion
10 the unmarried ones-and our reason for
opposing c'!Ibacy among school teachers
is this: We find that, no matter how
docile and tractable n woman may be
