 SCHOOL NOTES
 This office, from time to tiine' re- csives bundles of letters written by the pupils of some grade in one of the schools of the States with the request that they be given to similar grade in some Alaska school for reply. Like wise, various Alaska schools receive letters direct from schools on the out side. In many cases teachers consider the time consumed in answering such ie.tsrspoorly spent. Such plan Of ln- terehanging letters would seem, how evee, to be highly advantageous from not only a pedagogic standpoint but also from the standpoint of removing from the minds of residents of the States some of the leading fallacies and misconceptions regarding Alaska. In 50 far as the former is concerned a very direct motive is provided for training in expression thru letter writ ing which is one of the most imprs- sut snd largely used forms of cou- position As for the latter, real facts can be substituted for the grossly ex- aggerated ideas now existant especial iy if teachers exercise some degree ot supervision over the work and encour- age children to discuss climate, re- sources. commercial possibilities and general advantages, not orly of the community in which they reside but also in their section of Alaska and in Alaska as a whole.
 We are going to suggest, therefore, that such an interchange of letters be made a definite part of the work in Language and Geography during the remainder of the school year and that Alaska schools take the initiative and select schools in communities situated in many parts of the States for such an interchange of correspondence. The same type of letter which is sent to the sixth grade pupils of the Colorado schools by the sixth grade pupils of the Ketchikan schools may also be sent to Iowa, and to schools in other States. It will facilitate matters if the superintendent or teacher takes charge of all letters and sends them in one package to the superintendent or to the teachers of the grade with which correspondence is sought.
 In view of the fact that especial ef- fors is being put forth to make Alaska and things Alaskan familiar to all school children in the Territory an interchange of letters among the var ious schools is also suggested. Such Q practice, in addition to increasing the knowledge of each correspondent, would do much toward producing that feeling of unity which is to a great extent lacking among the residents of the Territory and without which the highest degree of development cannot be reached.
 Such interschool correspondence should pave the way for an inter- change of photographs. produce. and other material which will be highly in- teresting and educational. The school which secures one of the large ears of yellow corn for which Iowa and Illi- nois are famous, cotton bolls from AL baama, wheat from the Tanana River valley, reindeer moss. from Seward Peninsula and coal from Esia or Chickaloon will have added much to the sum total of it's interest to the children who attend it.

FISHERMEN LEAVING

eral thousand fishermen Shave left Newfoundland owing to the compara- tive failure of the colony's fisheries this year and the low price received for the product. They have gone chiefly to Canada and the United States.
 The total catch of herring n the season which ended in the middle # last winter was only about half the av- craze of previous yeas and. oeau>c of renewed competition with Scotch, Dutch and other foreign markets dve to the return of peace conditions, tie value was greatly reduced. The any spring fishery for cod off the South coast and the seal fishery off the East coast were failures.
 The main cod fisheries around the coast of the island and Labrador re- suited in an estimated catch of 1,3OO,- 900 quintals (of 112 lbs.), as against 100000 for last year. The price drop ped from SIP to $10 a quintal for Newfoundland fish and from $10 to S8 for Labrador cod. The decline in prices of cod oil, Holsters, salmon and other subsidiary products has been so great that the fishermen will not receive more than half the amount which they obtained last year.
 Another factor tending to emigra- tion is the curtailment in the iron mines, where forces of 5000 have been reduced by one half. Although the pulp and paper mills are making an exceptionally large cut of wood, they cannot absorb all the men seeking work from them this winter
