Those who aTe accustomed to look upon the Eskimo as merely "unwash- cd savages" win find some food for reflection in the following reprinted from the October number of the Blu rcau of Education journal, The Eski- mo.
 Some clever water color paintings on nature scenes are being made by Miss Hannah Ahneevel<, assistant tea cher at White Mountain. Two of the best are realistic painting of the river as seen from White Mountain and a l2x20 picture of Alaska berries of all kinds.
 Eskimo artists have shown such tall ent in work from nature that it is a pity they spend so much time on sub jects of more conventional character Miss Ahneevuk's example should be followed by more of the Eskimo paint CTS, who should remember also that the old time Eskimo picture writers took their subjects directly from life

good
Maine, Massachusetts,, Vermont, Connecticut,
New Jersey, Indiana, Colorado and Nevada have
established farm training camps through which a
stream of competent labor flows from the cities to
the farms.
For the training of this army of agricuturists
many of the most noted farm specialists Of the
country have volunteered their services. All that
youth absorb of farm lore in the short period
