 In the summer of 1880 Christian Indian woman of the Tongas tribe was sent to open a school at the head of Lynn canal; buildings were erected by the Presbyterian board of missions and a teacher installed, who reported an attendance of 75.

 At the southern end of Prince of Wales island, on Cordova bay, chief presented house to the Presbyterian mission, and a school was opened with 80 pupils.
 According to report of the bureau of education the northern district has an enrolment of 1,137 native pupils; the Western district, 785; the Upper Yukon district, 545; the Southeastern district, 99S, or a total of 3,635 native pupils.

NATIVE SCHOOLS OF
 ALASKA PROGRESSIVE

From a small beginning forty-three years ago in a primitive building in Southeastern Alaska, the educational facilities for Alaska natives have ad- vanced until today Alaska Indian chill dren enjoy a system of education sec ond to none in the nation. It is true that many of the outlying districts are handicapped by inferior buildings and equipment, but the ability of the teaching staff is equal to any in the States r @
 The first public school for natives in Alaska was established at Wran- gell in 1877 and placed in charge of a lady teacher. In 1878 a home for girls was established, and in the sea son of 1880 and 1881 this latter estab- >lishment contained thirty inmates, while the school had an average of sixty. ......
 At Sitka school was opened in April, 1878, and kept open with vary ing success until April, 1880. One of the naval officers stationed at Sltka introduced upon his own initiative system of compulsory education, ap- pointing a regular truant officer; each child was labeled, and If found on the streets during school hours, was ar rested, and the head of the house to which the child belonged was fined or imprisoned. This extraordinary ana arbitrary measure worked so well that the average attendance was suddenly forced up to 230 and 25O, one day reaching 271, result highly gratifying to the Presbyterian teacher, whatever objections the public had to his modus operandi on constitutional grounds. The school above mentioned was for Indians alone. For the benefit of the creole children school was estab- lished in 1879, with the assistance or the naval authorities, who furnished a teacher and interpreter in the per son of an educated creole lady, who was rated as fable seaman in order

having sympathy and taking deep in- terest in the natives.
 The Sheldon Jackson school, in the southeastern part of Alaska, has espe- cially young native girls to assume a responsible place in their homes, teaching them useful occupations and raising them from ignorance and
 The school at Wood island, near Kodiak, has fitted many native chil- dren to become useful citizens. In early days this school would take charge of Indian slaves condemned to death by the masters, many women being among the number. Of late years it has had an efficient teaching corps, and as result of it's opera tions the natives in the vicinity of Kodiak are of a superior intelligence and live more like civilized peoples than those of any other race north of Juneau. e
 A great handicap in teaching the natives is found in the diversity of languages, each tribe having diff ferent tongue, and each having diff ferent customs, although but few miles apart. The Russian priests have inculcated love of religion in the great majority of them, and have taught them many useful trades.
 That they are worth saving is sho 5n by the results accomplished.

PALEST|NE MAY
Be Reel AIMED
(By Associated l'ress)

CIIRIS1lANIA, Dec. A Nor. |
wegian engineer has devised plan
to provide water and electric power !
for Palestine at an initial cost OF $4O,- !
100000. Albert Hjorth, Of this city,
proposes to utilize the variation of the !
level between the Mediterranean and
the Dead sea and, by means of tun-
mel for water, to provide electric
power to be used for pumping stations,
irrigation and general purposes.
Hjorth proposes to dig tunnel 81
miles long, from the Mediterranean to
the Dead sea, passing under Jerusalem.
This tunnel would carry water from
| the Mediterranean to the western
slopes of the lower end of the Jordan
valley. Thence the water would pass
through pipe down to the Dead sea,
where a power plant would transform
the water power into electricity, to be
distributed as light and power through
the country. This power would be
used to drive pumping station at
the southern end of the Sea of Galilee
Uake Gennesaret).
Similar to Valley
The surface Of the Dead sea is about
,3CO feet below sea level; that of the
Sea of Galilee $50 feet below sea level.
Preliminary estimates, Mr.. Hjorth
states, show that tens of thousands OF
horsepower might be developed in this
was by means of tunnel carrying 70
tons of water per second. He esti-
mates the rise of the Dead sea caused
by this at not more than part of a
yard per year. The surface Of the
| sea, which is now about 1000 square
! miles, would be allowed to increase to
| about 4,800 square miles.
| Two canals would be built running
| parallel with the river Jordan, and
from these canals water could be dis
tributed among the fields sloping to-
ward the Jordan sufficient, it is claim
ed. for the irrigation of many hun
dreds of thousands of acres.
Mr.. Hjorth claims it would be nc
more difficult to build this tunnel thar
the proposed railway tunnel under the
English channel and estimates the
cost of a Dead sea tunnel (double)
with a minimum area of 1875 square
feet at S4O,OO0,O00, to which must bt
added the cost of the power plants
factories. canals and irrigation works
1t is pointed out that the estimated
cost involved in this plan does moi
! compare unfavorably with the irriga
ton works constructed in Asia ant
America during the past decade.
:. Sympathy Expressed
Mr.. Hjorth's plans have met will
great sympathy among leading scien
: tific authorities and practical engin
r GERS in Norway. 1t is proposed to sent
! out Norwegian misunderstanding ex
4 pedition which, with the anticipated
4 support Of the governments Of the
J great powers interested, will proceed

High Decoration of French Republic Pinned Upon
Breast of William Gerhard for Exceptional Bravery
Shown Overseas During Gigantic Bombardment.

William J. Gerhard, 27l4 Jackson
street, was decorated with the Croix
de Guerre with the silver star. yes
terday afternoon on the court house
square, as a recognition of bravery
displayed when he was with the
Fifth regiment of United States ma
rines. During one Of the heaviest
bombardments of the war, Gerhard,
who was a pharmacists mate, ex-
posed himself fearlessly to she'll fire
and, established and maintained a
liaison between the battalion dress
ing stations about the field hospital
and the regimental surgeon.
A large number of Mr.. Gerhard's
friends and relatives were as
sembled to witness the honor be-
slowed upon him. He stood on the
court house steps with Ensign
Charles E. Mas, inc barge of the
Omaha naval recruiting station, and
reviewed a parade which marched
up Farnam street and into position
in front Of the waiting hero.
The detachment of sailors with
armed color guard came to atten-
ton and presented arms in front Of
Ensign Mas and young Ger hard.
And. while the folds of the large
flag futtered about tht head of the
young hero, Ensign Mas pinned the
coveted decoration on the left side
of the breast of Mr.. Gerhard.
He also haned him the official

French citation, signed by General
Petain, commander Of the French
forces of the eastern division. The
citation is in French. This, with
a translation into English was re-
ceived from France by Secretary of
the Navy Daniels and forwarded
here to be given to the hero with
the Croix de Guerre.
This ended the ceremony. Scores
of friends hurried up to shake hands
with the young man and most OF
them were armed with cameras to
take his picture. The boy blushed
and, though he made efforts, it was
some time before he could get away
from the embarrassment of admira-
ton.
1t is said that young Gerhard is
the first and only Nebraskan to gain
the high honor of the Croix de
Guerre with the silver star, and have
it bestowed within the boundaries
of the state.
The parade up. Farnam street was
headed by the Chamber of Com
merce drum corps and ended with
an armed color guard and detach-
ment of sailors under command OF
Chief Boatswain's mate. A. M. Lace.
Young Gerhard received his dis
charge from the service April IS

Former Newspaper Man Tells
of Prosperity Of Furnas
County City While Wis.
iting in Omaha.

Mr.. and Mrs. WILDER w. Annes
visited in Omaha en- route from
Beaver City, where Mr.. Annes de-
livered the Decoration day address.
Beaver City is Mr.. Annes' old home
town, and he was enthusiastic in tell
ing of its growth since he last visited
there.
: He edited a column of paragraphs
of the Walt Mason style while work
ing on the Beaver City Times-Trib-
une, which was established by his
father. He gives credit for the sue
cess of the paper to the editorial
brilliancy of the present owner, r.
n. Merwin.
Wide streets capable of parking
automobiles three deep was one of
the interesting features Mr.. Annes
noticed during his visit. He says
Beaver City is one of the most pros
porous and thriving cities in south
east Nebraska. with beautiful homes,
churches, banks and business blocks.
This prosperous city of 1000 people
is situated in the heart of fine farm
ing community with land increasing
in value rapidly.
Tom Majors of Peru visited with
him while in the city and business
was suspended while Annes re-
viewed old times with the follower
of Grant and Sherman.
Mr.. Majors was greatly interested
in the airplane being used by DR..
Brewster and inquired of Mr.. Annes,
who is now druggist, if he filled
any prescriptions in the new plane.
Mr.. Annes admitted making fight.
He predicts that airplanes will soon
be in common use by physicians, but
objects TO his doctor friend taking
the risk required of a pioneer.
