those in the delegation. DR.. Stephens
was one of the chief spokesmen. II

manner that the peculiar stress of
economic and war conditions, the
State is virtually face to face with a
famine of competent teachers, and
that the school system is disintegrat-
ing in consequence. Although Gov
ernor Harrington is aware of existing
conditions, and is thoroughly in sym
pathy with the movement for increas-
ed salaries, yet the situation was laid
before him even more impressively
by the several teachers and school
officials. The matter was first
broached at the last annual meeting

 The great Berlin Forwarding agency declares that parcels of all descriptions are stolen by thieves while the conyoyanccs are passing through the streets The agency in all sobeness makes the astounding statement that Der lin is full of thieves convicted criminals who have been refused admission c the army serving to make the streets thoroughly unsafe
 Another forwarding company says that 1t IS useless bringing charges against the dishonest drivers as there are so many of them that the crown prosecutor has given it up as a bad job.

These dealt par icuary with the operation of the compulsory labor ser vice law.
 A lengthy conference was devoted to discussing the possible improvement of the conditions of labor and the maintenance of the output of munitions which General von Ludendor declared was the cardinal duty of the hour Recently private but trustworthy reports have been received by The Associated Press that the German author ities were experiencing difficulty in preventing falling eff in the production of munitions owing to the lowering of the working capacity of the individual underfed work man and the scarcity of certain materials notably the more rare metals used n the manufacture of high grade sees It doubtful also if Germany will be able to keep pace with further increases in AngIOAmerican produc tion if indeed it is now even holding its Own

HEAD OF SCHOOLS
 IN ALASKA WANTS
 UNIFORM COURSES

Lester D. Henderson, Territorial Commissioner ol Education spent the entire day in Seward yesterday ar riyino in the morning on the Alaska and leaving for Ju nau on the same steamer last night Mr. Henderson IS
 inst conpetng his tour of Alaska having left Seattle for Nome last August He travelled up the Yukon to Fair banks came out over the trail to Cordova, then to rhe westward Mr. Henderson will make tour to the faI westward next summer.
 While in Seward lIr. Henderson paid the closest att tenton to the local schools and just before the steamer sailed last night stated he was well satisfied with condi- tIons here. the attendance and the teaching staff.
 Mr. Henderson wants to standardize the schools of Alaska prepare uniform course of study and unify the work generally He says that present the schools show
 lack of any unity due principally to the frequent change of teachers wthno continuity of purpose Notwithstand ing this fact he found the majority of them well man. aged.
 Herbert Hoover food commissioner and the National Educational Association have appointed Mr. Henderson, as representative of food conservation in Alaska.
 An American is a citizen of the greatest republic in the world and citizen of the WOrld said Mr. Henderson to Gateway representative Thrift education should be enlarged upon and the people should cooperate with n suctos to encourage every pupil of the public schools o have savings account Statistics show so per cent off the population of the United States is dependent char it at the age of B. Why? Because people do save Teach the children the value of saving and economy and partially do away with the present inequalities that are causing so much social unrest and Unhappmess today.
 In some lines the schools in Alaska have just high standard as those in the States while in other lines they are somewhat inferior This is due to the fact that out side they have an almost universal school system while n the interior of Alaska it is more of unit system There reason m the world why Alaska should not have good schools because the territorial legislature has appropm aed more money for the maintenance of public schools
