TRAGEDY MIXES
 WITH JOY WHEN
 TROOPS ARRIVE

PRAGUE.-R-The Czecho-Slovak contingent of 1,O24 sick and wounded soldiers who recently passed thru the United States on their round- about way home from the Siberian front, have arrived safely in Prague.
 Prague declared a holiday upon the arrival of the veterans. The station and all streets leading to it were packed with thousands of peo- pie when the convoy trains drew in. As the Czecho veterans descended they were swept off their feet by the rush of relatives and friends, cheering, shouting, crying and laugn- ing. For more than five years the relatives of these men had been without means of communication with them.
 Tragedy mingled with joy. Groups of mothers, wives and sisters could be seen surrounding their long lost men, while beside them would be other women searching the faces of the returning veterans for the sight of loved one, that, in many cases will not return.
 "The American Red Cross workers who accompanied the Czechs on their 15,0OO-mile journey left the train two hours after all the men had gone," said Dr.. James H. Ingram, of Tren- ton, N. J., one of the Red Cross party. We supposed the ovation was over. But no sooner were we outside the station than we were surrounded by hundred of people. They cheered 10,

 ONE BIG TREAT
DOC SUTHERLAND AND FRANK LAWSON TAKE TILLICUM TO
 SEE THE SHOW.

Since Harry Williams got his leg broken when he was way up at the head of Shaw creek he has been lind of out of the running, as far as amusements are concerned. He has had the best of care, of course, and has made an extremely good patient, a combination which no doubt has had much to do with the fact that his injuries, which almost caused the loss of his leg, are heal ing rapidly and nicely.
 Harry has had to stick pretty close to his bed, leaving it for a few minutes at a time at first, and late ly being around the hospital porch in easy chairs, so when Dick Thorne advertised My Four Years in Ger many" Doc" Sutherland and Frank Lawson decided to give him little surprise. Last night just before show time, they secured an automobile and calling at the hospital, took Harry aboard and carried him to the per formance. It was his first appearance in public in about two months but he seems to be standing up well under the close confinement and necessarily restricted physical exer- else.

 TO SHOW LIFE
"SKIPS" AND PLAYERS SHOWING UNUSUAL INTEREST IN
 GAME; PLAN SEASON

With the nearer approach of the winter season, the curling devOtees in Fairbanks are beginning to pre- pare for the best season in recent years. Old time players are agitat- ing the matter and newcomers are willing and anxious to have A hand in anything that promises to lead to some fun and excitement.
 Altho but little has really been done yet toward actual organization, the Fairbanks Curling club is still in existence and there seems to be no doubt that at least four teams and possibly more than that number will show up oD the ice whenever the play begins.
 The veteran skips are taking in the new material in sight and are enthusiastic over the prospects. It is too early yet to state just what the season may have in sight, but it is believed that bonspiel between To- cal curlerS and Nenana can be arrang- ed. In fact the local players hope thal, with the railroad connecting the two towns, several matches will be ar ranged during the winter. President Durham, of the local club stated last night that a meeting of the players, old and new, and all others interest ed, will be called at an early date. The time of the meeting will be an nounced later.

It will be noted that more than one ';alf the children in the schools from which reports were received were 'an in Alaska. This fact is interest ing from the standpoint of the light which is thrown upon the stability of the territory. Alaska can now be con- sidered not as land of the prospec- tor and adventurer, but as country of homes and f1resides, where industry is stabilized and where a permanent population is being built up.
 Our nearest neighbors, Washington and Canada. hold second and third places respectively, with contribu- tions of 367 and 106 children to the school population of Alaska. In all, forty-one of the forty-eight states in :'o Union are represented by figures ranging from 367 to 1.
 In addition to this large representa- tion of states. native sons and daugh- ters of tweney-one foreign countries are being educated in the public schools of Alaska.
 The statistics here presented should suffice to make clear to those who are not residents of Alaska that they are not materially different from those of the states, with the exception that perhaps the group is more cosmopoli- tan in character, circumstance which contributes to higher degree of mental development, as is evidenc- ed by the results obtained from a ser ies of standard tests given to the pupils of both high and elementary schools during the past year. If sta tistics for the remaining thousand school children in the schools from which no report was received were available. there is little doubt that a still greater number of states and foreign countries would be represent ed.
