The average American teacher gets

many children of the rural districts
rise above the level which circum-
stances place around them and sur
pass their more fortunate brothers
and sisters in the struggle to achieve.
When we compare Alaska teachers
with those of the nation. says Mr..
henderson, we find that both in edu.
cation and experience they have
long lead. During the school year of

! VI the liD teachers, lao have at

a high school, and all have had edu-
cation equivalent to that represented
by graduation from four-year high
school. Two-thirds of the Alaska
teachers are either normal or college
graduates. Approximately so per cent
of the 81 teachers in Incorporated
towns and districts are either college
or normal graduates and in addition.
more than two.thirds of this number
have taken postgraduate work APP
proximately SO per cent of the So

exclusive of the year for which the
statistics are compiled Approx
mately so per cent have had previous
teaching in Alaska. while so per cent
have had experience both inside and
outside Alaska. But L. out OF the l45
teachers had no previous experience
The figures given apply to those
schools under the direction OF this de-
partment, and do not include schools |
for Alaska natives, which are under
the direct control of the federal gov
eminent through the bureau of edu- |
cation. While information on the sub
ject is not at hand we very much |
doubt II any state in the Union can
equal the record set forth above.
Training is an essential part of any
teachers equipment. and when to this |
we add the right kind of experience, |
the resulting combination should |
make for larger growth in the chill
dren who are privileged to receive in
struction in the schools of Alaska.
The principal reason why Alaska |
has been able to attract and hold |
teachers so well qualified to give in
struction is that, in addition to the |
general interest which attaches to
such a country as this, its people have
recognized the fact that a teacher |
should receive a salary commensurate |
with the Importance OF the work |
which she accomplishes. There is at
present shortage of teachers
throughout the nation, due to the de-
mands which the war is making upon |
professions of all kinds. 1t Is hoped, |
however, that the cause of education |
in this territory will not suffer more |
than necessary, and that the past edu
cational standards will be maintained, |
ito the end that no boy or girl shall |
have less opportunity for education
because of the war and that the ma
ton may be strengthened az it can
only be through the right education
OF all of its people"

sMore Americans Should Own Their
Own Homes"

Somewhere in the heart of every
man is the desire to be lNDEPEN-
DENT. independence is the measure
of ones standing in the community
The first step along the road TO
independence is to own ones home.
The man who owns his own home u
the respected, the trusted man IN
every community.
One of the largest employers IL
tn country ordered a canvass of his
factories to determine what per cent
age of his employees owned Their
own homes. At the same time ne
urged all employees in the establish
nent to become home owners or honae
buyers.
Sound logic prompted this action
The responsible man is the valuable
employee. The HOME OWNER has
a deeper sense of civic pride. He IS
established; he is responsible; he IS
interested in everything that tends
toward the peace and security ard
upbuilding of the community.
The example set by one manufac-
turer will be followed by others. It
will daily become more requisite to
mans securing responsible employ
ment that he Owns rs Own Home.
There is little excuse for man
not owning his own home. The great
Liberty Loans have instilled into the
American people lessons of thrift that
will endure through the coming days
of peace. Every man can and should
own his own home
There is no appeal from the man
who seeks a position that is treated
so lightly, by private and public em
ployer alike, as the appeal which
comes fro mthe man who has every
thing to gain and nothing to lose.
The INDEPENDENT MAN always
Owns His Own Home-BUILD

We belive in law and order, but too

MILLIONS OF LOST YEARS

The ominous signs of unrest, SO
apparent in our country to-day, wars
us to take prompt measures for safe
guarding it's future. Experts are
carefully studying the various ways
of Americanizing the alien, and many
conferences are being held to dis
cuss means to this end.
In solving the problem, one of the
most important questions to be con-
sidered is the early training of the
nations children. What they learn
to-day they will put into practice te-
morrow. 1t is for us to determine
whether they shall become an asset
or a menace.
We should remember that" An ounce
of prevention is worth pound of
cure, and provide kindergartens to
develop the children of our unframed
alien propulation into honest, law
abiding citizens. Only one child in
eight of kindergarten age now re-
ceives the training to which all are
entitled. There remain 100000 neg
lected little ones who are denied this
privilege.

It renders a valuble service to the
nation as well, for during the period

love that can never fade Oh yes;
yes she is a dear mother. The sands
of time are nearly run out, but feeble
as she is, she will gor farther and
reach down lower for you than any
other on earth. You cannot walk
into midnight where she cannot see
you; you cannot enter prison where
bars will keep her out, you can never
mount scaffold too high for her to
reach and bless you with her death
less love. When the world shall de-
spise and forsake you, when it leaves
you by the wayside to die unnoticed,
the dear old mother will gather YOU
IN her feeble oldw arms and carry YOU
home and tell you all your virtues
until you almost forget that your soul
is disfigured by vice. Love her ten
