ADMISSION - - Sc 1Oc

net gain of II.
If you are disposed to think any
teacher in the public school is not
doing her duty by your child, sus-
pend judgment until you look over
her room and see what she has to
contend with. She is not complain
ing, though she has to do far more
than she is paid to do; can you in
reason afford to complain?
We have never found a people less
free to complain, and yet it looks as
if the crowded condition gives just
grounds for complaint. We cannot
do justice to the work, but we are
pegging away the best we can and
hoping for relief next year.

PUBLIC SCHOOL NOTES :

With US the New Year began in
good earnest this morning. Some
faces were missing, but there were
plenty of new ones in their stead.
We are sorry to report the serious
afliction of Mamie Banks of grade
Z. She is a fine girl and a good
pupil; we regret to lose her even
temporarily, and the more SO when
we remember the cause of her leav-
ing. We hope she will recover soon.
After four months absence, Ruth
Guy takes her place in room III this
morning.
What day this has been for the
beginners! What emotions surge
through the breasts of the little men
and women when first they hear the
doors of the school room click be-
hind them and they face the teacher
and the sea of little, curious faces.
And what are mothers feelings as
they for the first time hand over
their precious charges to the care and
direction of another.
Louis Dunaway, Ray Neal and
Ellis Mosley, all of room TX, are re-
ported sick.
The cafeteria will open for business
next Monday morning. A delay in
the shipment of dishes necesitated the
delay in opening. Lunch will be serv-
ed Mondays and Wednesdays and on
other days when the weather is very
bad
New pupils have odd ways of ori-
enting themselves. A little fellow
was found crying in the corridor to-
day. He had lost his room When
asked where he belonged he replied,
ITO that teacher with the brown
dress" After all it is the teacher
rather than the room or class that
counts most with the children.
Don't forget the meeting of the
Parent Teachers Association Thurs
day evening at Z p. m. If you have
a grievance, or if you want some
| feature of the school work explained
to you, be on hand. We hold just one
hour. No dues, no collections even
Come.

ber of pupils by removals. Following

' Ben Nyggren, who with his partner sam Torkelson, has been engaged in trying his luck at the fishing game on Port Clarence during the summer, reports that here is serious need for
 closer government attention to the violation of the fisheries laws by the natives of this section of the penin sula.. According to Nyggrcn, the na- tives are in the habit of blocking the streams with brush dams in order to make fishing easier for themselves and also spread their nets in such manner that fish have very little opportunity to make their way up stream dur ing the spawning season. He declares that several varieties of fish once found in abundance in certain streams in this section of the territory have practically disappeared from their former haunts as result of native practices. White fish, which were once numerous in the Kuzitrien river are comparatively few at present. Red salmon were formerly caught in abun- dance m Pilgrim river, but are now found only occasionally. Nyggren says that he is satisfied that the na
 tives are well aware that they are Violating the law. as he has found
 
 that they usually select remote spots for placing their brushwood dams and nets and often maintain lookouts to give warning of the approach of whites. By surrept.tious practices of

With the exception of one man, the politicians and interested officials have already ticketed the male passengers aboard the steamer Umatilla but that one name is causing more speculation than the still undetermined question of who is the District Attorney. None of the dopesters have so far been able to get the number of the chap referred to- Some assert the belief that he is the private secretary of the new judge while others are speculating over the possibility of his being prospective successor of Judge Adams. Several of the political sharps believe they have seen the same name mentioned in connection with politics in the Southeastern Alaska papers and de- duce therefrom the belief tha. the un- known is scheduled for a federal office Not in long time hds there been such a skirmishing in local think boxes as has occurred since yesterday in the en- deavor to get next to the unknown quantity.
