COMMITTEE REPORT.

We, the committee to devise
some means by which the one
teacher school may be graded, beg
toreport as follows:
After investigating the grading
of schools in several other States
and different parts Of, our own, we
have decided that the best method
is that of alienation and correla-
ton. As very few students in the
rural districts are above the seventh
grade, this number of grades is
taken as a standard. The seven
grades are divided into FIVE groups,
as follows:
First group, first grade; second
group, second grade; third group,
third grade; fourth group, fourth
and fifth grades; fifth group, sixth
and seventh grades. As we found
shat half of the children of Benton
County-are in the first three grades,
they are given half Of the time.
Spelling 10 correlated with geogra-
ply, history, physiology, etc, in
the fourth aud 18th groups. The
grades are to be followed according
to the graded course Of study fur
Aished by the State. While this
method is open to objection, the
usual way is open to more objec.
tions, aud we feel that if this plan
mscarried out, more real work can

NOME, ALASKA, AUGUST 29, 1916.

one of the most Illuminating articles relative to the vast complexities of the European war is printed in re- cent issue of the Independent Most of us have known in a general way that the great struggle which has deluged Europe with blood for the past two years was something vast, monstrous il conflict se immense in its propor- tions so immeasurable in its effects, forces and including such diverse ar ray of races, US to reduce 10 compare tive insgniticance the mightiest wars 1I all time.
 We have learned that. in the num- Der of fighting units involved, the armies of any one of the leading pow CTS are double and treble and even five and six times as great as the mightiest military forces as the world has ever seen. Also that the number of nations involved is probably greater than were ever engaged in combat st one time before and that the races of men represented in the tremend- ously far reaching battle lines are more diverse in color, blood and creed than ever been drawn together in one struggle since the dawn of time.
 We also know that the territories and roncombatant peoples involved a.e greater and the costs more monu- mental than in any conflict of which history bears record.
 But, although we have known that mankind has ever become involved. but few of Us have more than ndffer- ent realization of just how great, how complex it really is.
 For instance, few save the statis- tically inclined, realize that there are no less than fifty races involved. Few CT still are aware that at the end of the second year of war the belligerent powers were holding more than three million, two hundred and ten thousand square miles of territory than was in- cluded in their national possessions before the struggle commenced; or that more than sixty three million, eight hundred thousand people were I,,rt,, flag.
 The tremendous magnitude of it all even the best informed persons.
 The following information, drawn from the article mentioned will, therefore, be not only interesting but will give the average reader a some what different conception of the true iimmensity of the conflict and of the huge number of factors involved.
 As the article is from one of the most reliable publications in America and is based upon the most complete information obtainable, the statements quoted may be considered as nearly accurate as can possibly be compiled. The nations at war are:
 Entente allies: Great Britain, France, Russia, Italy, Japan, Belgium, Serbia, Montenegro, Portugal, total Q.
 Central powers-Germany, Austria Hungary, Bulgaria, Turkey, total 1.
 The chief races actively participant ing in the struggle are:
 Afridis, Albanians, Algerians, An namites, Armenians, Arabs, Austrians, Bantus. Belgians, Boers, British, Bull gars, Circassians, Croatians, Czechs, Egyptians, Films, French, Garhwalis Georgians, Germans, Gurkhas, Italians Japanese, Jews, Kurds, Lithuanians,
