Dear Aunt Madge:
/ have been thinking for long time
that / ought to write a line to help fiji
the column, but did not seem to have
anything to say that l thought would
interest anyone. But l saw in my last
paper where you spoke of Ruth and I
going to Freedom, so 1 will tell you
about it. Wa went there to spend
Thanksgiving with my step-daughter.
We had a nice time, and we had quite
trip if changes count. We were only
on the way about five hours, but we
made changes enough to go TO New
York. We took the train here. and
changed in Newport; took the Boston
train to Burnham; changed there again
for Thorndike. there we took an auto,
which was the mail team, and went TO
Freedom postofiiee; there my grandson
met us with a horse and sleigh.
There was no ice on the trees here.
but when we got TO Thorndike every
thing was covered with ice, and when
we got to Freedom the trees were ali
bent over some so low over the road
that we had to drive out around them.
( The next morning. when the sun shone
on them 1T was very pretty sight
/ We could see for miles and miles over
a forest and all was a-sparkle.
+ We remained until Saturday and felt
+ that we had had quite vae.tion

BROWNIES GRIEVANCE.

tBy Harriet Whitney Durbin,)
Yes, l know it's surely coming--that
the days between are few;
And the folks begin to wonder why 1
look perplexed and blue;
But there's reason for my trouble--in
this queer and cranky town
We haven't any fireplace for Santa to
come down
AT grandma's, in the country. there's a
chimney. tall and wide
The dear old chap could scramble
through and scarcely touch the
side:
And grandma, every Christmas eve,
would rake away the GOALS
And cover ashes on EN-. SOS he needn't
seoreh his soles
What fur it used to be to lie and listen
there at night
(When grandpa'd wound the corner
clock and blown out every light)
To hear the wee-est little sound when
Santa should slip by
The sooty chain and pot-hooks-but it
was no use 10 try.
For either he was awful still. or else he
came so late
couldn't seem to keep awake-the
sandman wouldn't wait
But never did he skip us on a single
Christmas day;
Our chimney was SO broad and high he
couldn't miss the way.
But here, he'll surely never come, be-
cause hen look in vain,
To find gaping fireplace that's big
and wide and plain,
And how, I'D like to ask you Cts a

SALARY SCHEDULES RECON. MENpED FOR SCHOOLS IN INCORPORATED TOWNS
 AND DISTRICTS

An adjustment of teachers salary schedules in Alaska seems to be nec- essary if justice is to be done to those who are in the profession and if our schools are to be maintained at their present high standard. according to the January number of the Alaska School Bulletin. issued by the Alaska Terri toral Department of Education. Thc larger salaries and opportunities of fered~by the industries ;lnd by otheT professions have withdrawn many am- bitious mNn and women from the teach ing profession, says the Bulletin. and as a result Il real crisis confronts tho nation for the schools make the nation and the teachers the schools.
 The situation in the nation has no, vet materially affected the quality of Alaska teachers. However, the in. crease which has taken place in salary scheduled throughout almost the entire nation will cause many of the best teachers to leave the Territory at the conclusion of the present school year unless salaries are materially advanc- ed. It is impossible to build up q thoroughly efficient system of schools where the personnel of the teaching force is continually changing. While Alaska has considerable scenery to of fer to teachers as an inducement to ac- cept positions here. it is, nevertheless. true that one can easily become sur feited with scenery and that financial sacrifices which are too enormous will make even q nature lover long for pavements and sky -scrapers.
 The increase proposed will, it is be- lieved. appeal to Boards of Education as being simple matter of justice. In preparing schedule of salaries for Alaska it hsa been necessary to take into consideration the varying costs of
