Superintendent of Education

A superintendent of education is new official provided for by the terri torial legislature aud one will be ap- pointed by Governor Strong after his present trip over Alaska, says the Sew ard Gateway.
 It is difficult to understand the value of such an official. It is to be presum- ed that he will go around to the vari- ous schools aud investigate, but what will he or what can he investigate? If, as in the British Islands, examiners were appointed who would be indepen- dent of the teachers whose pupils are examined, and if examinations were held each year in every school one could see an advantage coming from the salary expended, but the mere coming of a man or a woman to glance at the pupils and make them a peda- gogic speech or two can hardly aid the sprouting of the young idea very much. Owing to the size of the territory and the great roundabout distances to be traversed it would be impossible to hold examinations of pupils at any fixed period of the year when time would have been given them to prog ress at their class work. Certainly there would hardly be any use in examining a child in the work of the year before.
 The man appointed to be superin- tendent may not be one whit better qualified than any of the principals of the schools themselves. The candi- dates are, as a matter of fact, entirely drawn from the school principals of Alaska. They are qualified, no doubt, as they have been appointed principals only after having proven their qualih- cntions, but the very same may be said of every principal in the territory. Be- sides all this, the school boards are usually, perhaps entirely, made up of people who are intelligent enough to understand the progress made by pu- pills. Indeed, it can easily be under stood how euch an official as tbis new superintendent might cause a lot of the irritation begotten of oficiousness without in the least helping the cause of education.

Buying at Home

l bought some rags of Tailor Skaggs and paid him when l got lem; he Wept with glee, "For uow," said be, "Pll pay my bills, dod rot 'em." So on the run he took the mon, and paid the corner grocer, whose trade was bad and who was sad, because the wolf drew closer. This made him smile, and for a while the man of teas and sages, thought cheerful thinks, forgot the kinks and paid the clerk bis wages. And Billiam Burk, the old head clerk, put up some thankful phrases; his wife was ill-the druggists bill, had worried him like blazes. The druggist cried, "Doggone your hide, l thank you for these troubles; I'm in the hole and need roll to ease my weight of troubles" The druggist paid that winsome maid, his first assistant, Annie, and just for luck she blew buck for roller skates for ganny. And thus my skads brought help to lads and girls beyond the count ing; much trouble ceased and joy in. creased, and kept on mounting, mount ing. You see, my friend, if you should spend your coin with local dealers, you're spreading glee and ecstacy to beat the sunshine spielers.-Ex.

The country is a likely one for prospecting, although it is said there are too many boulders on Lewis river for dredging. Rumors have been afoat for some days about a strike on Peters creek, but dil' igent inquiry elicited the fact that while some coarse gold has been found, nothing that can be called pay gravel has been revealed as yet. Coarse colors have been found on Ship creek, but nothing of importance has yet been discovered.-Yaldez Miner.

A small sized stampede is on at Lewis river, lying between Susitna and Beluga rivers, led there by reports of a strike of placer gold. The facts regard ing the discovery are that Sam Wagner and Chittick, both old timers in the country, found a little pay on Lewis river, about mile above the point where a small strike was reported two years ago. Wagner and Chittick also say they found coarse gold on the

With nothing in her appearance to indicate that she had dragged out an existance for many years as tramp freighter on the Sound, the steamboat Edith will sail this evening for a six weeks cruise in Southeastern Alaska, with Capt. Harry w. Crosby, one of her owners, in command. The cruise is to be a com bincd business and ples- ure affair, Captain Crosby being ac- companied by his family aud one or two friends. In the last few days the Edith has been renovated, cleaned and painted and otherwise restored. Years ago she was one of San Francisco's most palatial private yachts. Captain Crosby will hunt and fish in Southeast ern Alaska waters, and will also salv- age the machinery and other equip ment of the steamship Ramona, wreck ed four years ago off the west coast of Prince of Wales island. The Edith is now owned by Crosby, Nieder & Mar ems. She will be used hereafter as com mbination pleasure craft, wrecking vessel and tow boat.-Seattle Times.
