Jerry Junior.

Jerry Junior.
For some time the twins ignored the
atmosphere Of solemn mystery which
pervaded their once SO cheerful home,
But when 1t finally reached the limit
of their endurance they marched in
upon their aunt and Fairy with an ad-
mlrable admixture of dignity and indig-
nation In their attitude.
"Who's haunted?" inquired Carol alb
ruptly.
where's the criminal7" demanded
Lark.
"Yes, little twins, talk English and
maybe you'll learn something"
"Then, in common .yernacular, though
1t is really beneath ds, what's up2"
Fairy turned innoceRtly inquiring
eyes toward the ceiling. "What, in
deedT"
"Oh, don't try to be dramatic, Fairy"
counseled Lark. you're too fGt for a
star-Starr."
The twins beamed at each other ap-
provlngly at this, and Fairy smiled.
But Carol returned promptly to the
charge. "Are Jerry and Prudence hav-
ing domestic dlfficulties2 There's some
thing going on, and we want to know.

"A fallen Samson, Carroll Mercy

'Yes, kind of sheepish, and ashamed,
and yet hopeful of returning strength.
Prudence writes every day, and you
hide the letters. And Aunt Grace
sneaks around like a convict with her
hand under her apron. And you look
as heavy-laden as If you were carrying
Comics conscience around with you"
Aunt Grace raised her eyebrows.
Fairy hesitated, nodded, smiled. Slow
ly then Aunt Grace drew one hand
from beneath her apron and showed
to the eagerly watching twins a tiny,
hand-embroidered dress. They stared
at it, fascinated, half frightened, and
then looked into the serious faces Of
their aunt and sister.
Il don't believe it." whispered
Carol. "She's not old enough"
Aunt Grace smiled.
"She's older than mother was" said
Fairy.
Lark took the little dress and exnm-

small" she announced critically.
Nothing could wear that"

100000 War MARRIAGES.

Sir Bernard Mallet, registrar gen.
eral, addressing the Royal Statistical
society recently, said that in England
and Wales 100000 people had married
between August, 1914, and June, 1917,
while in Hungary, the only other bel
ligerent country for which complete
figures were available, the figure was
100000. BY the end of June, 1918, thu
United Kingdom would have lost by
the fall in births over 100000 potential
lives, 10000 per million of the popula-
tion. For some unexplained reason
England was remarkable for the low
excess of male over female births, not
only as compared with continental
countries but also with the other parts
of The United Kingdom. A decline in
the humber of suicides was an inter-
esting minor feature of the war period.

The reichstag committee on national

The war office then stated that "for the

lum. Albert Surrant, minister of pub-
lie instruction for France. in the earIv
days of the war issued the statement
that IN all the schools of the Repub-
lie there is not single teacher who
continues to live and move in the

lessons in the same Wayne one who
addresses to his pupils in these de-
cisive hours only the customary words
of yesterday"
Would it not be we'll if a like claim
could be made for the teachers of
Alaska? The Customary words of
yesterday" are perhaps the easiest to
utter but in these times their sound
is hollow. Those who carry the mes
sage" to the school children of Alas
ka must carry a true message. This
fact requires more labor from each
individual teacher and well illustrates
the truth that under the system of
education which is in use in the Unit
ed States, the teacher is the import
ant vital element. Material equip.
ment and other equations which are
commonly considered in a study of
the condition of local system of
schools sink into practical msignifi-
canoe before the weight of influence
which is thrown into the balance by
the teacher. Today as never before
there is a need for teachers of UNI
firing devotion and zeal to whom Am

achievement of the ages; who love
America for what she is and for what
she is destined to become; who see
in an educated moral democracy the

The Alaska School Bulletin" makes
its initial bow with this issue. 1t is
hoped that the material herein pres
ented from month to month will be
helpful to the teachers of Alaska The
degree to which each one is benefit
ted will depend to a great extent upon
the way in which the teaching force
of the Territory generally responds
to the opportunity which this medium
for an exchange of ideas affords.
The aim of the Bulletin is three
fold: % A medium through which
the Territorial Education department
may send communications to the
teachers and boards of education of
the Territory. (2) A means by which
national or foreign educational news
may be disseminated and special ac-
tivities of the schools in any State
of the Union brought to the attention
of the other schools for their inspira.

To the end that these objects may
be attained it is essential that teach
ers and administrators generally CO.
operate with this department to the
extent of presenting information con
corning their work. You are therefor
asked to contribute any special fea-
ture which is being worked out in
your school. Your stunt may not seem
