WINTER SPORTS
 SOON COMMENCE

The present cold weather and the absence of snow has afforded the skaters of Fairbanks a good oppor- tunity of enjoying some splendid skating. Many of the large ponds and still places in the rivers and sloughs have frozen over and nearly every day there may be seen some party or other enjoying themselves.
 A movement is on foot among some of the curriers' to have a space on the ice in front of the town put in shape and for a public exhibition of the great ice game to be given next Sun. day. All last year there were no curling matches and the players are beginning to have a feeling that a little exercise would do them good. Owing to the depleted ranks of the curriers' no attempt will be made to have an organization this year, the movement for Sunday being one for pastime only.

WOMAN EDUCATOR DIES
 OF INFLUENZA

WASHINGTON, Oct. 26-Ella Flagg Young has died from the effects of the Spanish influenza. She was act. ing chairman of the Woman's Liberty Loan committee
 Mrs. Ella Flagg Young was one of the best known woman educators in the United States She was a lead CT of progressive educational ideas to which she devoted more than fiji. ty years of her life.
 She was chosen superintendent of Chicago's public schools in 1909 from list of six candidates, five of whom were men educators of national repu- tation. She succeeded Edwin G. Cooley and was the first woman to be selected superintendent of schools in one of the largest American cities. As head of the public schools of Chicago she was intrusted with the education of 3OO.OOO children.
 She inaugurated many important reforms, among these being the teaching of sex hygiene. the enlarge ment of the kindergarten course, an increase in the scope of the vo. cational training department and simplification of the curriculum of the primary grades.
 She was aggressive and possessed great executive ability. She insisted upon the complete divorce of poll. tics from the public schools and fought many successful battles in support of this principle.
 In 1913 faction of the Chicago school board planned to oust her from her position as superintendent She anticipated the move by sud denly resigning. Mayor Harrison was appealed to by the public to have her withdraw her resignation and re- turn to her official duties, although she was nearly 70 years old at the time.
 Mrs. Young declined to return un- less her enemies on the school board retired. Mayor Harrison was obllg- ed to accept the resignation of five trustees before Mrs. Young would again assume her official duties. She triumphed in every clash she had with the politicians in the school board affairs.
 Mrs. Young was born in Buffalo, N. Y. Jan. 15, 1845, and was brot to Chicago by her parents when a young girl. She graduated from the Chicago public schools and was ap. pointed teacher in the primary grade in 1862, when she was IF years old.
