CLOTHING NtEOtD
 FOR THE NATIVES
Civic League Will Make Shipment Next Week-Toys and Books Need.
 ed for the Children.

,e Valdez Civic League expects to make a shipment or clothes to the natives of the westward, who are in need of wearing apparel. Judge F. M. Brown, of the district court, in formed a number of the ladies of Valdez of the need of the natives in the westward towns and they started the work of collecting the clothing last fall, but it was then too late to send the shipment into the Bristol bay region.
 The Valdez Civic League took charge of the work and will send the clothes on the next sailing of the steamer Santa Ana from Seward on May 10th. All the residents of Val dez who have clothing which they have discarded, but which is still serviceable, can help the Indians by sending the clothes to Mrs. E. G. Ames, secretary of the Civic League. Toys for the children can also be sent and will be received with great joy by the little Indian kids, who have but few pleasures. Books for those who can read are also wanted.

A MUSEUM ON WHEELS.

A travelling museum that goes To
| the public schools with illustrative
material at the time it is needed is
successfully used by the st. Louis,
Mo-, schools, according to a bulletin
issued by the U. S. bureau of educa'
ton.
1t was the exposition Of 1904 that
first gave st. Louis the opportunity
to extend to its schools the educa.
tional advantages of great museum.
After the fair had closed number OF
the exhibitors donated parts Of their
displays to the public schools: and in
this way the nucleus Of an education
al museum was obtained.
After the material for the museum
had been grouped, the question OF
using 1t most profitably had to be
settled. As it was found fmpractic-
able to supply every one OF the hun
dred public schools Of the city with
a separate museum, 1t was decided
that there should be one museum for
all the schools and that by means Of
an. automobile truck the museum ma
terial should be sent to the various
schools
The museum is arranged In close
connection with the course OF study
followed in the schools. Among the
groups of exhibits are: Food pro-
ducts. material for clothing, mounted
animals, the life and occupations of
different peoples of the world, charts
and colored pictures illustrating his
tory, minerals and ores, and charts il
Illustrating geography, astronomy. and
physiology" The museum reports
show that in point of popularity the
pictorial charts and the display Of
mounted birds come first. Material
for clothing and the exhibit OF food
products come next in order Of de-
mand
The travelling museum of st. Louis
has 1000 individual and duplicate col
lections: 1000 lantern slides; 5000
views. and 1000 colored
charts and photographs. The school
make a point Of the fact
that there is nothing in the travelling
which cannot be used in d.
rect connection with the work of the
schools. 1t contains no curiosities
nor abnormalities, no freaks of ma
ture.
The main purpose of the museum Is
to bring facts home to the pupils as
as possible. Thus by
means Of the cotton exhibit the chill
dren are taken to the cotton fields,
where they study the plant, the
method OF preparing the soil, the har-
vesting; to the cotton gin. where the
seed is separated from the lint; to the
market to see the baling and ship
ping: to the cotton factories, where
the lint is spun and woven into fab
RIGS: and to the refneries to learn
how cottonseed oil. oil cake, cottolene.
and soap are made. The supply OF
the demands for cotton goods is shown
by a comparison of the crude imple-
ments used by the inhabitants of the
Islands with the magnifi-
cent machinery in the large eastern
factories as pictured by the sterescope
and lantern slides.
