"Bone-dry"' is the cry that is bursting
among us,
And Dry" is the echo that thunders
around;
For Destinys aand in COMPASSION has
The key to the irons with which we are

We are chanting the dirge of the flask
and the fagon,
The doom of the Demon is written on
high
The tippler and drunkard must climb to

And drink of the nectar that drips from
the sky.
The Serpent will wrthe and will froth in
his fury,
And sting to the gasp Of his sckening
breath,
And spit his vile venom, and hiss AZ The
jury
That uttered the terrible verdict of
Death
But he will succumb-his head. crushed
And sinuous coils will decay in the
dust;
And we. the unfettered, exultant. will
glory
In freedom untainted and laws that
are just.
Dry is the cry!-let it ring up the val
And crack like a flame over city ami
town,
And roar like the wind thro' the Rum
haunted alleys.
And never be still till the Demon ir
down.

making garments of one kind or another The smaller girls hem towels and dish cloths. They make gingham aprons for the girls of the cooking class, and, in one school, each girl above the primary grade has made dress for herself. In this work the girls take each others measurements, and then cut out the dress pattern. They also make dresses for the sraller children. In some of the schools they are embroidering on cotton the birds, flowers and animals of Alaska Instruction in darning and mending is given to both boys and girls.
 In the school at Point Barrow the sew ing class made 150 garments last sea- son. The pupils brought their own cloth, and did their sewing in the school under the direction of the teacher. The product included dresses, waists, snowshirts and other garments.
 The children are learning how to han dle money, and they are passing from the stage of barter to credit and cash. Arith- metic is taught in all Of the schools. and the problems are made to include the buying and selling of goods, the selling of furs and the importation of articles from the outside. At Point Barrow the advanced classes use the price lists in the mail order catalogs and estimate
 
 the expense of sending fox skins to Seattle by mail. and figure out the value Of bearskins. whalebone and ivory . In other schools, the problems may deal with reindeer, dogs, seals and foxes. Money values are thoroughly explained and time and distance are taught. Ir the past these things have had little sig nificance among the Eslximos. All trades were by barter. Distance has been de- termined by sleeps, or the time one has to stop in going to a place. The Vain wright school for instance, is three sleeps south of Point Barrow and one sleep north of Icy Cape.
 Tn short, as MT. Lopp says, there are few better people anywhere than these Eskimos of the far north. They are honest and intelligent, full of good na- ture and extremely hospitable, They have 8 keen sense of justice and are willing to do the right thing. They are good traders, and some are worth thousands of dollars made by their thrift and their skill in the breeding of reindeer.
