DRAG-LINE KID NOW
 CHALLENGES WINNER

The boxing exhibition staged last Saturday evening at Union hall, in connection with the Leona Robbins entertainment, made a hit with the Nenanaites and many have asked re- garding the acceptance of the chal- lenge issued by "Dragline" Holler-
 bach. Drag challenged the winner of the match put up by "Swede Killer" Johnson and McGregor Vel liver, the Bitter Root kid, from the Canary islands. The match was de- clared draw by Referee Bowen, and the participants are in a quan- diary as to who should accept the challenge. When interviewed about the matter, the Bitter Root Kid" flatly stated that he was not in shape to take on the Dragline and wouldn't consider it, passing the buck to Johnson, whom he states, 1 has had much experience in the ring. Johnson, on the other hand does not care to take it up either, stating that he can not afford to take any chances on his own title, knowing as he does, Hollerback's ring records from Tacoma, Seattle and other coast cities, where he has three knockouts to his credit. However, says MT. Johnson, with about thr:e weeks practice and training, he be- lives that he can at least give the Drag" a run for his money, but wishes to have the stakes lowered
 Hollerbach challenged for $500 a side, winner take all. To date, no one has accepted the challenge. Rumor had it that Sam Beatty was considering accepting, but Sam dis credits it, stating that he has neither the weight nor the speed to even make showing against the Drag line.

ORDER NUMBERS
 OF REG|STRANTS
 ARE DETERMINED

The work of determining the order of liability for military service of Nenana registrants whose registra- tion cards are in possession of the local exemption board, was com pleted during the early part of the week. The next step is the distri- button of questionnaires and the classification of registrants, but this work will not be started until further instructions are received from the governor. The work, when it is started, probably will consume several weeks, the filling in of ques- tionnaires being a very slow and painstaking proceeding. It is not known definitely how many men Nenana will be required to supply as its first quoto, but it is believed the number will not. exceed twenty.
 The full list of registrants, with their serial and order numbers, is as follows:

NIGHT SCHOOL REPORT
 SHOWS STEADY GAINS

The report of the Nenana Citi- zenship Night School for the past month, which has just been pre- pared by Instructor John c. Murphy shows a further increase in enroll ment and steadily increasing in- terest in the work. The report is as follows:
 "The Citizenship Night School Board of Nenana, Alaska respect fully report:
 The third month school session of the above school ended on the 18th instant. The sessions were 20 nights, and hours of instruction for each night were from three and one half to eour hours. There was an increase of enrolment over previous month from 42 to 45 students. Ow- ing to some sickness, the average attendance was 26. The foreign born students still predominate, and range in ages from 20 to 54 years, and number AZ men, and 3 women. Encouraging and gratifying was the progress made during the month.
 "We cannot forbear adding few comments regarding a citizenship night school. Its duty is to provide motive to the foreigners to create in him or her an abiding interest in this country and institutions. If it be asked, what then are the sub jects best fitted for the attainment, we answer without reserve, the fore most is English, history, civics, con- stitution, geography, writing and all these with reference to our insti- tutions, business customs and man. ners. Instruction must be made practical by fitting as closely as pos sible, to daily needs. The teaching of the adult foreigner must be in dividualized and the fund of eX- perience and knowledge which he brings to school should be utilized Rare judgment must be exercised in methods of instruction. These students are not alike, a.td what should be taught to one, may be nonsuitable for another. The teach ing of English is the one primary problem, followed closely with civics and history. Civic instruction should be brimming over with the spirit of true patsiotism. Besides all this, there must be a spirit of earnest sympathy shown by the teacher, and fine spirit of com raderie. The relation between in structor and student should be a fraternal one.

Let the Clerks Work Overtime.
G the Editor OF The Star

Tc the Editor OF The Star:
The situation in this city regarding
the housing of government clerks
seems to be getting more serious
every day. The recent work of Con-
.gress in aiming to provide for the
incoming clerks by the erection and
remodeling of buildings to serve as
temporary homes for war workers
promised greatly to better the con-
dition if carried out. However, action
of some kind is needed at once if it
is desired to keep the situation from
becoming more serious. The govern
ment is still in need of thousands of
clerks to carry on the work of the
different departments; meanwhile
there are many of the clerks in the
present employ of the government
who are anxious to obtain several
hours' work after their regular office
hours to offset the greatly increased
cost of living in the Capital city. Why
not apply the means at the present
disposal of the government to the
best advantage by allowing those
clerks who desire to do SO. to put in
few hours extra work each evening,
say from $50 or 6 to 9 pm? If not
to remain in permanent practice, it
seems as if this plan would be one
way of coming to the rescue of both
