 other, with it's provision for equa participation by all in a common culture, common ideals and common opportunities, and for the develop ment of individuality and initiative bounded by a proper regard for the good of the whole group.
 Not only has the public obtained new view of the American school and its power and value as an in vestment, but the school has in turn obtained a new view of its own functions and needs. It has realized its weaknesses and shortcomings, but never so concretely as now It has in the past made attempts to remedy these weaknesses, but never with such determination or a conviction so clear cut as now; never with such confidence that the public will cooperate and provide both moral and financial support as now.
 The reconstruction program of the public schools provides for definite work in Americanization, not only as the term applies to the proper assimilation of our foreign popula- ton, but also as it applies to the inculcation of real American ideals in those of native birth who have failed to become really American in thought and feeling; for the teaching of Thrift in the broad sense of the term which expands it to include saving of money, the proper spending of money, the wise investment of money, the conserva- tion of health and material re- sources, and the medication of all those virtues which make for a full and wholesome existence; for the support of the Peace Program of the Junior Red Cross; and for in creased attention to the physical well-being of all the people of the Nation.
 Never before in the history of the Nation or of the Territory of Alaska has the educational outlook been so bright. There is now be- fore Congress what is known as the Smith -Towner Education Bill, which provides for a Secretary of Edu- cation in the Presidents cabinet and carries an annual federal appropri- ation of S1OO,0OO,000 for co-opera- tion with the states in the carrying out of an educational program which includes the removal of illit- eracy, an AmericaniZation cam paign, better preparation of teach CTS, more adequate physical and health education, and the equaliza- ton of educational opportunity re gardless of whether a child lives in poor or wealthy community. Alaska is not yet included in the benefits of the bill, although a most determined effort is being made to bring this about.
 i In so far as the Territory is con- cerned, there is an interest in educa- ton manifested by people in all walks of life which is extremely en- couraging. The Territorial Legisla- 1 ture at its last session was most i liberal in its appropriations for the lcause of education. Various com munities are also launching move ments looking toward the better inent of the material equipment of the schools. Petersburg recently received permission to bond the city for S75,OO0 for the purpose of erecting a modern school building and making other city improve ments. Federal legislation author izing Ketchikan to bond herself for s100,000 for the purpose of erect ing a school building was also re- cently enacted Fairhan nks is erect

 ing grounds. The use of deeper nets, it is contended, would have enabled the natives along the vari- ous streams to have made larger catches, but inasmuch as the natives rely chiefly upon fsh-wheels, which have produced abundantly in past years. the deep net theory will not lessen the complaint against the cannery.
 ''This has been an off season for salmon," said G. S. Martin, who reached Nenana from the lower riv- CT yesterday All the oldtimers claim that the run was the poorest in years. And practically all the king salmon which entered the mouth of the Yukon early in the summer were caught by the Carlisle outfit, very few being permitted to get up the river"
 The cannery day" says Mr Martin, is eleven and one-half hours; the pay S5, including board. The day begins when the worker rises at five in the morning. At 5:15 the gong sounds for breakfast. At six the man is ready for a days work For fear he may not hold out @ coffee is furnished at nine, and the moment it is swallowed, he is back. hard at it again.
 The men are allowed half an hour for dinner, but the whistle blows on. the 25th minute, giving the company the benefit of the ex- tra minute, and the men do not quit any earlier on that account. In fact, the day-the cannery day" -is a day in one particular only. The men are not through work at six. They are offered 50 cents an hour for all time over the cannery day" And this, too, in country where the cannery people are taF- ing away the chief item of Alaska's diet.
 Fishermen receive 30 cents apiece from the cannery for king salmon. Three kings average a case. A case of king salmon was worth s22 in Nenana last year, somewhat less than in the States. Wages and grub for 50 men is what Alaska gets out of it, and pays to have her own product shipped out and back, if she gets it. With certain restrictions, and by being properly conducted, such an industry, and many more of them. should be operated with a profit to the canning companies and material help to Alaska in the way of development.
 There are about thirty canneries on the Columbia river, but the wages and hours governing Oregon and Washington are not to be ap- piled successfully here, where con- .ditions are different. Alaskans vot- ed for eight hours, as a working day. Men are striking elsewhere for six hours. This new concern, the Carlisle Packing company, has esta blished an eleven and one-half hour day, and imports most of it's men from the Outside, @ving them the preference, as 50 Alaskans were employed to 150 brought into the country from Seattle. The Alaskans were first to be laid off when work slackened and towrad the end of the season.
 An improvement is needed in the way of hatcheries. They should have at least twice the capacity, as corresponding with the catch. Dur ing the main run, or heaviest part of the seasons catch, there should be two days set aside to let the fish come up, so that natives and all settlers could get a look-in. Two days is the very least possible con
