'EDUCATIONO OF NATIVES IS
 PROGRESSING

In order that he might visit the diff ferent schools for natives in his juris- diction during the past year, it was necessary for Arthur H. Miller, super intendent of schools for natives in the Southwestern district of Alaska. to travel by boat, train, dog team, snow shoe-mushing and on foot distance of 10,098 miles. This fact is set for:h by MT. Miller in his report to the nu- reau of education, which has cha, ge of the education of the natives in Alaska. The report of Mr Miller is as follows:
 During the fiscal year ended June 30, 1918, have travelled by boat, tr4'n, automobile, dog team, snowsboe. mushing and on foot 10,09S miles on tours of inspection of schools and na- tive villages and attending to other official business in connection With the superintendents office. These tours have occupied 245 days, the re- mainder of the year being spent in the office at headquarters, Anchorage. Anchorage has not only proved prac- tical working center for the admia;s- tration of the affairs of the district, but has made possible giving special at tention to the natives of the Cook inlet region. in this rapidly develop ing section the resources of the coun- try are being utilized for commercial purposes. Inadequate provision is made for the native during the read justment, and special attention must therefore be given him.
 There appears to be lack of we'll defined understanding as to the re- sponsibility for the care and educa- tion of certain classes of natives on the part of the territory. In several instances the United States district judge for this district who is GUS todian of the indigent fund, has re- ferred calls for medical aid and as- sistance to breed natives to this of flee, for whom it is our understanding that the bureau of education can not be held responsible. We therefore feel the need for a more clearly de- fined policy establishing the responsi- bility of this bureau before the terri

torial officials and the public in cases of this kind.
 There is also a large number of communities in the Southwestern dis trict, and very likely some in the other districts, where the territorial schools have a small enrolment, and native children are living in the same community, but not in sufficient num- bers to justify the establishment of a are permitted to attend the territorial school only in rare instances, and then at the option of the local school board. Where schools already are established it appears to be impracticable to com pei the parents of white children to place their children in the same school room with natives. It appears the oretically plausible, but it is, I be- lieve, impracticable. However, in communities where all the patrons of the school petition for school for mixed races, permission should be granted accordingly. Evidence that this matter is receiving consideration in the territory is shown by the fol- lowing letter to me from Governor Riggs:
 CT have your letter of June 12, con corning the establishment of a school at Chitina, and I am glad to note that you see the necessity of such school, and trust that some plan may be evolved whereby the native children can be given a measure of relief. The question of schooling native children with the whites is a matter that we should endeavor to correct by legisla- tion during the coming session. l think that where a school district applies for permission to establish a school for mixed races they should be given authority to do so. For in stance, on the Koyukuk we have an application for the establishment of a school district at Wiseman, which we are unable to grant owing to the fact that four of the ten children of school age are not of the white race. I should be very glad indeed to have your suggestions concerning proposed legislation
 There is less immortality and de- bauching of natives living in this dis trict at the present time than for many years. There is still far too much The dry law which went into effect throughout Alaska on January 1, 1918, is one of the best measures for the protection of the natives.

While fishing in the vicinity of Ora vina island, near Bank inlet, in South eastern Alaska, Clarence Crawford fell from the power boat Sue and lost his life, according to a report made to the authorities by his partner, A. II. Pansy. At the time of the occident Pansy was in the hold of the vessel, working on the motor, and as he came on deck some time later he noticed Crawford was gone. The sea was rough and the engine of the boat was giving considerable trouble. Craw- ford told Pansy to go below and take care of the engine and he would work the deck. The deceased was young man about 23 years of age, of exem- plary character, neither drinking, smoking or chewing, and was a good worker The young man came from Tacoma to Ketchikan about three years ago.

the great war, but they have every where shown their appreciation of the assistance rendered them by their benefactor, the United States govern ment, by doing what they could in helping to win the war. The more prosperous villages have contributed cash donations to the Red Cross work, and in the villages where they were unable to give cash they have volun- tarily made articles to be sold, and part or all of the proceeds from such sales have been given to the Red Cross society. Reports show that not less than $500 has been given to the Red Cross work by natives of this dis trict, and after the fishing season more will be contributed by them"

consideration should be given to pro-

soon as received, and, unless the rea-

Providence, are a fearfully bad lot
Furthermore, it appears that the
editor of the Independent is not a
new hand at the county printing
howl. He has had 'em before.
In 1911, he being then the editor
of the Estancia News and the Estan-
cia Herald being a rival paper, the
commissioners took the printing, or
some Of it, away from the News and
gave it to the Herald. Of course the
editor of the News at once proceeded
to paw up the earth. He said that
the commissioners were paying the
Herald 20 per cent more than they
had been paying the News, and had
no right to do it, and were violating
the law, ETC., ETC., etc. To show how
much more he knew about it than the
commissioners or anybody else, he
started an injunction suit in the Dis
trict Court, the same being entitled
"P. A. Speckman, Plaintiff, VS.. the
Board of County Commissioners of
the County of Torrance, New Mexi-
co, and Allen Barret, Defendant. No.

He was required to give a bond,
and upon hearing he was summarily
squelched by the court. The order

AS further showing how utterly
baseless his contentious were, it may
be stated that the District Attorney
advised Miss Porter, then editor of
the Herald, that she could recover
damages against him on account of
his baseless suit. Miss Porter, being
of generous and forgiving disposi-
tion, and doubtless also being influ-
enced by compassion for the confid-
ing friend who had signed his bond,
declined to enter suit and the bonds
man had lucky escape.

AN EMERGENCY EXISTS

There appears to be general ten
dency on the part of Chapter officials
and Red Cross workers to feel that
Red Cross Chapter production is prac-
tically ended. Perhaps this feeling is
natural one on account of the many
changes in Red Cross work and the
cessation of certain activities; par
tlcularly the cessation of production
of surgical dressings, which has been
so prominent and important part of
Chapter activities.
At present, however, the Red Cross
has before it great task which must
be completed Immediately. 1t is the
production Of vast number of refu-
gee garments as quickly as possible.
National Headquarters advises us that
if these garments are to be of prac-
tical value in foreign relief this win
ter, it is imperative that they be
shipped not later than February 1st.
This order definitely and forcibly
controverts any impression that Red
Cross Chapter work is ended.
Local conditions, the influenza epi-
demic, and other matters unquestion-
ably account for the delay Of some
chapters in carrying on work, and the
reluctance of other Chapters to ac-
cept for completion in any given time
allotments of work which Chapter Of
ficials fear their workers may be un-
able to complete.
We urge Chapter officials to check
up Immediately the present status Of
their production organization, and, if
necessary, to enlist an emergency
force of workers to complete not later
than February 1st, all production or
ders now on hand.
In enlisting workers for this pur-
pose, it should be with the under
standing that the call is not for an ac-
tivity to extend all winter, but that it
is, in reality, for sewing or produc-
tion campaign or drive for short
period, and that it probably will be
either materially curtailed or entirely
discontinued as soon as the present al
lotments are completed.
This should not be construed to
mean that there may not be future al
lotments and other activities which
will require the services of many
Chapter workers, but only that an
emergency now exists, that relief sup
plies must be produced NOW, and
that unless the emergency is met and
these orders completed by February
1st, the greatest good will not be ac-
complished, and for the first time, To-
cal Chapters, Divisional Headquarters
and the American Red Cross as
whole, will have failed in an emergen-
cy.
Your attention already has been
called to the statement issued by Mr..
Dawson that future activities of the
Red Cross cannot be determined
definitely until the various depart
ments of the government definitely
determine their policies, nor until the
American government and the gov
ernment of the Allies definitely de-
termine international policy. Divis-
ional Headquarters will endeavor to
keep Chapter officials posted regard
ing changes as they develop. Mean
time, please carefully check up at
once the production situation in your
Chapter and the possibilities of early
production. If you believe that your
Chapter can produce before February
1st, more than has been allotted to
you, please advise our Bureau of
Chapter production. Your careful
