AN ENGLISH TEACHERS Diff
CULTIES

Teaching English is not always the
safe and sane job it is cracked up to
be. At least that is probably the opin-
ion of a member of the profession who
has just been calling his accusers
crustaceans and troglodytes When he
developed a geological vocabulary it
was all off with the brave boy, and
today he is out of a job and giving
free lectures on his pet creed.
In dispensing with the services of
one Mr. Jeffries, the Portland school
board took exception to his doctrine
that English text books should be for
gotten and the subject taught excIu-
sively from current magazines and
popular novels. The board designated
such practice as constituting evil in
tluence, incompetence. and insubord-
ination"
Mr. Jeffriess attitude is one with
which many teachers of English are in
entire or partial sympathy. There
are lot of rotten books extant on the
teaching of English The worst ones
are those used in the grades in teach
ing what is called language lessons.
The trouble is that it takes a trem-
endously fine teacher to dispense with
textbooks entirely. There is too great
a risk of lack of system. With text
book of fair quality as a basis a good
teacher can surely use all the ex
amples of current writing he may
desire A good many English teach
ers could not with safety be trusted !

models from modern authors. If the !
Portland schools had in their employ |
a man who was big enough and sound |
enough to carve out his courses from I
current periodicals, they could well
have afforded to let him go his own
gait 1t was a situation which called
for big man in the superintendent's
office as well as in the English chair.
Perhaps it was felt that the Port
land students needed the steadying
influence Of formally expressed rules

The only object in advertising is to
bring your offerings to the attention
of great many people. And yet
some people still have to be shown
that a daily with big circulation is a
better publicity medium than a weekly
whose circulation is practically nil

where folks are so behind the times
they don't know yet a European war

Race of Woman Warriors,

The word Amazon is Greek and was
used thousands of years before Amer
lea was discovered. According to ira
dition. it was applied to a race of fe-
male warriors who had the form but
hardly any of the attributes of wom-
en-. In order that they might hurl a
javelin or aim an arrow more eiIec-
lively, the right breast was removed
to give greater freedom to the arm,
hence the name Amazon from a-mazos
without breasts. In works of art,
sculpture and painting, the AmazonD
were represented with the right side,
the place Of the removed breast, Gov
cred. The Amazon river in Brazil
was so called by the Spanish explorer
who discovered it because he said he

1t is deliberately estimated by an
expert statistician that a certain in

his other associates.

other per cent.

Cordova and Seward openly declare that the one thing that could make them lose faith in the delegate would be his getting in bed with Shackle- ford. They say if he does they will move to some other political hotel. Emery Valentine, of Juneau, who has been Wickersham's chief booster in southeastern Alaska for many years, is said to have issued a similar mani festo. That is easily believed by folks who know that hating and cussing Shackleford is Valentines favorite ex- ercise.

 The First division is practically solid for the combination. So also is the Second, it Is said. All the prox- ies from the Second are alleged to be divided enenly between Gilmore and Schofield, of Nome and Seattle, and each is understood to be promised a plateful of turkey at the barbecue. Each division has sixty votes, so only a few scattering sheep are needed from the Third and Fourth divisions to give the combination a majority. That is simple enough if they can hold together.

RAILROAD W N ] SUIT AGAINST
 SEWARD

Attorney $. O. Morford, of Seward. counsel for the Alaska Northern Rail- road Company, has received notice that the appellate court had reversed the decision of the district court in the case of the town of Seward vs. the Alaska Northern Railroad. The notification sent to Attorney Morford contains the intelligence that the high CT court instructs the district court to dismiss the proceedings, and taxes the costs, amounting to about S2OO, on the city.
 The action was brought by the city of Seward to collect taxes assessed against the property of the railroad within the incorporated limits of the town, and the district court held this proceeding proper and held for the town.
 The full text of the decision was not given in the communication re ceived by Attorney Morford, and the grounds on which the verdict was set aside are not known.

 Murane is said to be slated for na- tional committeeman though why Shackleford does not take the job himself if he has the votes to give it to one of his followers Is difficult to understand. Shackleford is at least an Alaskan, while Murane has lived in Seattle ever since he dropped off the Nome bench in 1913.
 It appears this this block of five politicians who thoughtfully labored all winter in Seattle to frame up a program that would save the territor- ial convention from any work except ratifying the slate. had little trouble in agreeing on division of the bacon, but being wise men they perceived that 1t would require votes to bring home the bacon. They perceived that they were shy on votes. They had learned that Wickersham wanted the Republican nomination for Congress so badly that he could taste the yearn- ing with his victuals, and they knew that Wickersham had votes to burn. Now you see it. They would give Wickersham the coveted nomination for Congress in exchange for a gob of votes. but they would hog-tie him on office distribution. They wouldn't burden him with that, but would tend to it themselves.

COMBINE LACKS THE PROPER
 COHESION

Republicans of all factions in Alas ka are curious to learn the facts about this alleged combination between Shackleford and Wickersham to hold up the party between them and to partition the spells. It seems prob able that the twain have votes enough, if combined to control the territorial convention, which is to be pulled off at Seward April 19.
 Shackleford affirms that he has an agreement with Wickersham whereby the delegate isato be renominated for Congress as the Republican candidate, and that Wickersham is to keep his hands off the patronage, leaving Shackleford as distributing agent in case a Republican president is cleo ten numerous letters to active boost CTS on his staff in Alaska strenuously denying that he has made or will make any deal with Shackleford. Nevertheless, Shackleford goes se- renely along asserting that the anal gamation of oil and water is complete. He takes no heed of Wickersham' de- nials.
