attended schools of higher rank
than a high school and all have
had education equivalent to that
represented by graduation from a
four year high school. Two-thirds
of the Alaska teachers are either
normal or college graduates. APP
proximately 80 per cent of the 81
teachers in incorporated towns and
districts are either college or normal
graduates and, in addition, more
than two-thirds of this number have
taken postgraduate work. APPROX
mately SO per cent of the So
teachers in districts outside incor-
porated towns are either normal or
college graduates and in addition
nearly one-half of this number have
taken postgraduate work.
The average experience of Alaska
teachers is seven and one-half years
exclusive of the year for which the
statistics are compiled. APPROX
mately 60 per cent have had pre-
vious teaching experience in Alaska,
while so per cent have had ex-
perience both inside and outside
Alaska. But ~ out of the las
teachers had no previous experience.

federal government thru the Bureau
of Education. While information
on the subjetc is not at hand, we
very much doubt if any state in the
Union can equal the record set
forth above. Training is an es-
sential part of any teachers equip
ment and when to this we add the
right kind of experience, the result
ing combination should make for
larger growth in the children who
are privileged to receive instruction
in the schools of Alaska.
The principal reason why Alaska
has been able to attract and hold
teachers SO we'll qualified to give
instruction is that, in addition to
the general interest which attaches
to such country as this, it's people
have recognized the fact that

The women who work for the
Red Cross at home are doing as
much for the cause of humanity
as those who work abroad in field
and hospital; for without the efforts
of those at home here, gathering
the income and the materials to
support those in the field, they could
not remain there. When your
women-folk ask you to give to the
Red Cross work, don't argue-dig

ALASKA'S HIGH RATING

There are some 100000 public
school teachers in the United States.
And statistics show, it is pointed
out by Territorial Superintendent
of Education Lester D. Henderson,
in a recent edition of the Alaska
School Bulletin, shows that approx
mately 100000 of this number have
had no education beyond a high
school and that between $4,000 and
100000 have had no schooling be-
yond the eighth grade. The aver
age American teacher gets her ex-
perience at eighteen or nineteen
years of age and remains in the pro-
fession four years. Statistics fur
Their show that city school systems
suffer much less from unframed
uneducated and immature teachers
than is the case with country school
districts. This latter fact is proof
conclusive that there is not equality
of educational opportunity in the
United States although, be it said
to their credit, many children in
rural districts rise above the level
which circumstances place around
them and surpass their more for
tunate brothers and sisters in the
struggle to achieve.
wIen- tuUse VI the naIlOn, says Mr.
Henderson, we find that both in
education and experience they have
long lead. During the school
year of 1917-191S there were las
teachers employed in the public
high and elementary schools of the
territory. These teachers were dis
tributed among GA school districts
both inside and outside incorporated
towns as follows:

Prepare For Liberty Bond Sale.

S. A. Converse, who has been ap-
pointed as county chairman for the
Liberty Loan Sale commencing April
9Th, spent several days in Chicago last
week attending a meeting of about 400
chairmen and other. officers of this
Federal Bank District. Plans for the
sale were fully discussed, and it was
determined that during the forthcoming
drive that all will be requested to
purchase according to their financial
ability. There have been too many
slackers in thismatter in the past, and a
system has been devised that will make
such people buy or show the reason for
their refusal to do so.
A meeting of the township chsirmen
was held Tuesday, but little was &C.
complished as the necessary printed
matter and blanks had failed to arrive.
