Average for the en-
tire school ........ 1858
Through the courtesy of May
or Mckinney the different rooms
have been supplied with excel
lent pencil sharpeners that are
great convenience to both
teachers and pupils. Mr.. McKin-
lney's long service as a member
of the Board Of Education has
given him an abiding interest in
the welfare of the public schools
that finds expression in many
ways.
The number of tardies made in
the High School department dur
ing the term of 1914 was 400.
Last year the number was reduc-
ed to 248, q reduction of 212.
The tardies in that department
last year were entirely too high
and very, very much greater
than in the grades. The H. S.
Faculty this year is making a
strenuous effort to reduce them
to a reasonable number. The pa
rents of several high school stu
dents, however, have not yet
been able to see the Importance
of cooperating in this matter.
They permit their children to
come in late in order to allow
them to perform the most tri-
vial service that some other
member of the family may just
as we'll have done. Nine tardies
were recorded in the high school
last week, while all the rest of
the school combined only made
6, and they were all in one pri-
mary room. Every one of the
high school tardies could have
been avoided by proper co-opera-
ton of all parties concerned.
Hardness may not always be a
vice, but promptness is certainly
always a virtue. May we not
expect better reports on this
item hereafter?

IMP PROVEME N l OVER OLD-T|ME
 FRE|GHT|NG

On the steamer Mariposa which ar rived here early Monday morning were 51h tons of reight for the Alaska Road Commission, consigned to Chiti- ma. The freight was loaded directly on to the cars at the wharf and went out on the train that morning, reach ing Chitina in the evening, in less than twenty ohurs after being loaded on the steamer at Valdez.
 Under the old system of freighting which prevailed prior to the con struction of the railroad, several weeks would have been required to move the freight from Valdez to the interior.
 The freight consists of supplies for the use of the road commission crews during the summer, and will be dis tributed to various points along the government road between Chitina and the summit by the commission teams, which left Valdez a few days ago.

[ 4 b | [ HALL |S HAN DSOM Ly
 DECORATED

A dreami That's what they all say who have seen them. We mean the decorations in Eagle hall. And they are without doubt the most elaborate ever attempted in Cordova. The de- sign is extremely handsome. and has been carried out to perfection under the skillful direction of Robert Gotts- chalk, who has the matter in charge, and is assisted by several members of the lodge.
 Those who attend the entertainment and dance Saturday night will be struck at once on entering the hall with the beauty of the scene which has been prepared for them. It Is use less to attempt to describe the decora- tions, words being inadequate to paint the picture. All who visit the hall Saturday night, however, will be able to appreciate the vast amount of labor entailed in making the place attractive.

WILL AMEND THE SHIPPING
 BILL

WASHINGTON. Feb. 3--As a result of the caucus last night, the admin, istration senators plan to save the ship purchase bill by enlisting the Progressives in favor of the measure. The plan evolved ignores the bolt ing democratic senators, and amend ing the measure so that it will be agreeable to enough of the Progress sive members to overcome the defec- ton in the Democratic ranks. The Committee on Commerce will be in- structed to report the bill with amendments providing that the gov ernment shall not lease ships pur- chased under the act for period Of longer than twelve months, and that no ships shall be purchased of the belligerants which would in any way disturb the neutrality of the United States. These amendments, it is believed will made the measure sat isfactory to a sufficlnt number of the Progressive members to insure the passage of the bill.

CHINA NOT ASSISTING
 TURKEY FINANCIALLY

PEKING, Feb. 3-The report that Chinese Mohammedans have sub scrbed large sums of money for the war and other expenses of Turkey is denied by the leading Mohammedans in Picking. It is pointed out that the Mohammedans of China have a fiimsy connection with those of the Ottoman Empire. With rare exceptions they are unable to read the Koran, which is not translated into Chinese. Only a summary of the teachings of Mo hammed are obtainable, and their faith is not by any means as ardent as that of countries nearer to the birthplace of the Arabian Prophet.
