No. 8.-Saving for an Education

In nos schools or Amer
lea thrift is a subject left
to take care of itself. Grad
yates go out into the world
with no definite ideas about
the happiness there is in
thrift, of the value of home
gardens, of household man
agement, of wise invest
ment and wise allotment of
income for the expenses Of
home, business and SELF
Montgomery Advertiser.
The School of Journalism of
the University of Missouri has
prepared a series of ADVERTISE
meuts for the banks of that
State in which the cause of
education and the incourage-
ment of the habit of saving are
admirably united.
IF you will open an account
with us when your son enters
high school, says one of the
advertisements, land let him
help you each week, by the
time he completes his high
school course there will be suf-
ficient in the fund to take him
through college.
OF course, the purpose is to
have parents save money with
the education of their children
as an object and then use those
savings by sending the young
people to the Missouri institu-
ton. But the idea is a good
one for parents everywhere.
What father or mother not take
to heart such an argument as
the following;
$500 a year will give your
son or daughter a university
education.
This is about the average
yearly expense of each of the
$500 students at the University
of Missouri.
Only $40 a month deposited
in the bank at compound inter-
est for 80 months will enable
your son to achieve his hearts
desire for a college education.
He can earn enough in vaca-
tons to finish out the fund.-
Such a purpose provides one
of the strongest possible mo-
tives for thrifty living.
In this connection. it is not
out of place to consider the ad-
visibility of giving lessons OF
thrift a place in the courses of
study in both elementary and
advanced schools. The condi'
ton outlined by the Montgo m
cry newspaper, quoted above,
is all too true, and these things
ought not 90 to be if this nation
is to continue to prosper as i,
should.

WANTS TO KNOW WHEREABOUTS
 HER BUY

If there is one thing that will appeal to Alaskans more than another it is the call of distress from a mothers heart to her boy. And whenever the call comes the news is carried to the remotest parts of the great Northland.
 Such a call is contained in the fol- lowing letter. While mails are slow in some of the more remote districts of Alaska, the mother may be sure that some one will know of her boy and communicate the fact to her:
 Mrs. l.. M. Alleger, of 22 State street, writes as follows:
 "In 1888 my my son, George Lewis Alleger left Stroudesburg, Pa, aged 21. for Battleford. Sask. From there he went to Dawson and was with the Royal Northwest Mounted Police. The last I heard from him was from that city in July 1902. His aged mother Is most anxious to locate him before she dies.
 Also his sister, Mrs Mable Haase, also of 22 State street.
 "If you would be so kind as to place the above in your medium 1t would be doing a kindness, which will not be forgotten.
 The writer adds that she will pay for having the notice posted. News papers in Alaska, as we'll as govern ment officials and others need no pay for trying to find lost relatives, especially a son for whom an ageG mother is yearning as only mothers can grieve and yearn. It Is hoped that any one having any knowledge of such a person will communicate with the writer.

eral, and that no execution of the law enacted by the recent Legislature would be had.
 Makes More School Money.
 Owing to the fact that 25ft of the receipts from the forest reservations have been appropriated for the esta2- lishment and maintenance of schools approximately S15,OOO would be avail able this year for that purpose. With the establishment of the fact that the law creating the office of Assistant Superintendent of Public Instruction is invalid, the appropriation of s5000. made for that purpose will revert to the school maintenance fund. Tn other words, there will be available for school purposes this $5OOO more than was expected.

SCHOOL A U I IF. TERRITORY |S
 NULLIF|ED

Two acts passed by the last Terri torial Legislature, both relative to shools, are without force, and invalid, according to the Attorney-General of the United States.
 Governor Strong has received from Assistant Secretary of the Interior Bo Swenney, the decision of Preston c. West, of the Attorney Generars office. The opinion in response to an inquiry made by Gov. Strong two months ago as to the validity of "An Act to provide for a uniform system of schools for the Territory of Alas ka" and An Act to amend Election 324 of Chap. of the compiled laws of the Territory of Alaska"
 The second mentioned acU of the legislature related to the amendment of the Nelson school law.
 Conflict With U S. Laws.
 The letter says: "T have to state that the question submitted by yon was presented to the Solicitor for the Department of the Interior for opin- ion under date of September 21, ana he rendered the same, copies of which are herewith enclosed.
 q concur in the conclusion of the Solicitor" continues the letter, that the acts of the Legislature of Alaska mentioned are without force and ef- feet in so far as they materially con fict with the acts of Congress and are violate of the inhibition against amendment made in the act of 1912 in the manner specified Furthermore, that no action looking to the execution of these Alaska acts should be taken until they have been reported to and acted upon by Congress as provided in Section 12 of the act of August 2f, 1912, If such action is taken when re- ported" ."
 In his opinion on the enactment of the legislature concerning the uniform system of schools for the Territory, Mr. West states: "The government of the United States belongs primarily to Congress, and secondarily to such agencies as Congress may establish for that purpose. During their pupil age, as territories they are dependen- cies of the United States. Their peo- pie do not constitute a sovereign pow CT. All political authority exercised by them Is derived from the general government. A territorial law is therefore without force and effect if 1t conflicts with federal statute, unless the enactment has been authorized by Congress.
 Legislature OVerstepped Power.
 ''The Alaska Legislature was. suo- ject to specified limitation, clothed with the power to enact laws, by sec tions 8 and of the act of 1912, pro- vided, among other things. That the authority herein granted to the leg islature to alter, amend, modify and repeal laws in force in Alaska shall not extend to the act entitled An Act to provide for the construction and maintenance of roads, and the es- tablishment and maintenance of schools"
 Gov. Strong stated that he would act in accordance with the recommen. dation of the Assistant Attorney Gen
