Many of the settlements have no reg
ular mail service and can commune
cate with n another and with the
outside world only by occasionally
passing boats in summer and sleds in
winter. During eight months of the
year all the villages I'm Alaska, with
the exception of those on the southern
coast, are reached only by trails over
the snow-covered land or frozen rivers.
In spite of the difficulties of the
problem a United States public school
has been established in each of sew
enty villages. In many instances the
school is the only ~elevating power in
the community.
tuberculosis, pneumonia, rheuma-
tism, and %venereal diseases prevail to
an alarming extent In many of the
native villages, and In Its endeavor to
safeguard the health Of the natives Of
Alaska the bureau of education main
tains hospitals In five important cen
tiers. 1t employs physicians and nurs-
es, who devote themselves to medical
and sanitary work, and provides medl-
cal supplies and textbooks to the
teachers to enable them to treat minor
ailments and intelligently to supervise
hygienic measures. There are extern
sive regions In which the services of
a physician are not obtainable. Ac-
cordingly, 1t often becomes the duty Of
a teacher to render first aid to the
injured or to care for a patient
through the course of a serious illness.
Supervise Cooperative Store.
Another duty Of the teacher Is to SUI
pervise the cooperative store which Is
owned and managed by the natives,
who deal in everything but refrigera-
tors. Strange to say, the government
of the white man has to protect the
native from the white man himself.
To secure the native from the intru-
slons Of the Inscriptions trader, the
bureau of education has adopted the
policy Of establishing reservations to
which large numbers of natives can be
attracted and where they can obtain
fish and game and conduct their own
industrial and commercial enterprises.
The settlement at Noorvik, on the Ko-
bulk river, in arctic Alaska, is one Of
the most conspicuous successes of this
policy.
With their advancement In civiliza-
ton the Eskimos living at Deering,
on the bleak sea coast, craved a new
home. Lack of timber compelled them
to live in the acknowledgement novels
of their ancestors, while the killing off
of game animals made 1t increasingly
difficult to obtain food. An uninhab-
tied tract on the bank Of the Kobuk
river, Is miles square, Astounding in
game, fish and timber, was reserved
by executive order for these Eskfmos.
and thither they migrated in the sum-
mer of 1915. On this tract In the arc
tic wilderness the colonists, under the
leadership Of the teachers, within two
years have built a village with well
laid-out streets, neat single family
houses, gardens, a mercantile company,
a sawmill, an electric light plant, and
wireless telegraph station which keeps
them In touch with the outside world

WOMEN AT WORK.

During the war, millions of women
have been at work in vocations into
which they have never before been
called-in munition factories, chem
cial works, metal works, street rail
ways, and as ambulance drivers, bar
bers and elevator girls. Undoubtedly
thousands of others have longed to
serve in this way, but because of fe-
male ailments, which had fastened
upon them, were not able to do so.
Women in,this condition should give
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com

done.

their signatures to the treaty that

AS is the case every time when
there is trouble between the Amer
lean forces and the French, drunk.
en- American started the row at
Brest the other day. This bird, an
officer of the American navy, pull
ed down the French flag and tram
pied it in the dirt. OF course no
loyal Frenchman would stand by
and witness such an insult to
the tricolor without his blood boil
ing, and the row was on. The ma
val authorities will no doubt take
the uniform from the fellow who
has thus dissracei it and place him
behind the bars where he deserves
to be.
There is an inclination on the
part of some people to abuse public
buildings. Especially is this true
of school buildings during the vaca-
ion period. The school house should
be the center Of community activi-
ty and i'll it should be held the
meetings of the citizens when they
gather to discuss matters of COM
munity interest. Every community
should take pride in the school
house and in keeping it clean and
attractive. The condition of the
public school building in Sylvia does
not speak well for us as citizens of
the community, nor does the fact
that the State Department of Ed
ucation has been forced to offer a
reward Of $25 for the conviction of
persons who have damaged or in
Jured school buildings speak well
for the citizenship of the state.
Usually these things are not done
maliciously but are committed by
thoughtless boys. However, if these
boys had been taught at home to
decent respect for pro-
perty, private and public, and for
the opinions of other people they
would not do these things.

most stupendous conflict in the his
tory of mankind. They have been
hallowed by the blood of heroes
who crossed three thousand miles
OF perilous waters to wage the
world-old conflict between liberty
and autocracy, between eternal
truth and the enemies who would
crush her. The masters of Germany
planned to drive Liberty and the
principles of human rights from the
earth and to bind mankind once
more in the chains of autocracv.
one year ago the conflict RACED
with unabating fury from the North
Sea to the Swiss Border. The Ger,
mans were driving for the French
Capitol and the sound of battle was
heard day and night in the streets
OF Paris. The English were almost
exhausted and Calais was within
reach of the Hun. The goal was al
most in sight. Then came America
and the tide began to turn. On, the
battle ragged and we were driving
the soldiers of Autocracy ever back

whence they came. England tighten
