Alaska Has Two Christmas Days

Alaska is the only place over which the American flag floats whe, two Christmas days are celebrated. This applies especial ly to the Alaskan peninsula and adjoining islands, where many of the natives belong to the Russian church with her Julian calendar. It is only since the coming of the American public school and mis- sion that the American Christ mas' has been introduced in those parts. According to the Julian calendar Christmas, Dec. p, falls on the day that is Jan. ' in the calendar elsewhere.
 According to the Russian church in Alaska, Christmas be- gins at ? o'clock in the morning, when the church bells announce the birth of Christ, and when the natives come out of their huts they find a bright and beautiful star of Bethlehem over the church beckoning them. The church is a small wooden building decorated with pictures of saints, lighted by candles, without seats orheat. The two sexes are ranged on the opposite sides of the room, either standing or kneeling. On this particular morning service is held from 2 until 6 and is made up of singing and reading. Although to white people 1t would seem a very great hardship to stand on the feet for four hours on a cold winter morning, yet the natives would consider it the worst kind of hardship should they be forced to stay away.
 After the service the feasting and rejoicing begin. In the ev- ening there takes place a very picturesque representation of the wise men following the star of

During the even- ing a delightful repast was served.
 The smoker was proceeded by a regular session of the lodge at which the following persons were initiated into the order: A. W. Guthrie of Union Bay, Arthur Meyers. and Weston Dalgity, Guthrie found the trail treacher- ous and slippery and almost lost his temper two or three times. Myers acted more like a dumb butte than the ordinary packer, never once opening his mouth to speak from the time he left Wran- geh until he arrived at Point Bar. row. At Dawson Weston was permitted to Write a letter back home. It was not addressed to his parents.

Bethlehem to where the Christ Child is. As soon as it is night the young people separate into groups. One ot the group goes before, carrying a beautifully trimmed star, in which 3 candle burns. On entering house the party sings hymns and carols, as it was done centuries ago.
 These songs are either in the old Russian or in the Aleutian language. Many of the voices have the softness and sweetness so peculiar to Indian races. and this, combined with the charming old church music, produces very agreeable effect. When they have sung and have been enter tained the wise men proceed to the next house. This singing is kept up three nights.

N. Y. u. TO COOPERATE
IN BANK TRAINING
Students Probably VIII Get
Credits for Work.

Dean Joseph French Johnson. % tn.
New York University School Of Com
merce. said Saturday that New York
University would cooperate most fully
with the National City Bank in It's new
plan to give college students train
ing in banking along with their college
work. The university will also assist
in supervising the instruction at the
bank and bringing 1t up to collegiate
standards
"Our main concern" said Dean John
son. els that tho courses be OF an
equally high standard with Our own;
ard 7 think they till be- They VIII
naturally hire Che best Instructors, and
they have better facilities than We have
for giving instruction in practical
banking.
Probably the university will be able
20 allow some credit for work In the
bank We will recommend three
juniors from the School Of Commerce.,
who will work at the bank during their
summer vacation and complete the re-
CURED year Of preparatory training
after graduation. | am also suggest
ing to Dean Bouton OF the College OF
Arts and Pure Science, at University
Heights, that he select three men from
the commerce course there. These
men will be sophomoes; and thay may
be able. by working at the bank dur
ing two summers and securing credit
for part OF their work. 10 complete
their year Of training before they
graduate.
81 heartily agree with Mr. Vanderbilt
Of the bank. and Mr. Schwedtman. Di-
rector of Education. that the new plan
viii prove not only very valuable TO m.
bank in obtaining for it The cream OF
the university Young men, but in bridg-
ing the gap between o college cducs-
ton and business. Many college men
Fail to bridge this gap. and may be

A voluminous attack on the conpul-
cory health insurance bill was issued
yesterday by the National Civic Fedora
tion. II was prepared b. Ralph NJ.

favored by the trade unions or railroad

based partly upon the failure OF ma
tionsl health insurance In England. IL
also states that the plan proposed here
is sctuarily unsound and that there are
no statistics at present upon which
such legislation may safely be based.
