reau of Education which fits the Indian
 for industrial competition The curri-
 culum presented in thelr various
 schools has not to our observation pre-
 pared any IndiGn in Alaska for entrance
 to high school. If anything the ln-
 dian must leave school after attaining
 the fourth grade for the system does not
 carry them beyond that grade
 If the Alaska Native Brotherhood en- dorses this kind of talk, then the people of Hydaburg don't want anything to do with it. For the people here are thor ough supporters of the Bureau Of Educa- tion in it's untiring efforts to help them--to help them to higher economic, edu- cational civic moral and spiritual status Your article, Brother Paul, is an injury to the for which we are all strivlnS' Such matters should be well QlSested pelore presented to the press
 You speak of our curriculum not prepar- ing anyone for high school Our curri- culum not only prepares for high schooi put servation" Well, the trouble is with your observation.
 Facts are always stronger than glib talk. In 1918 our school had two graduates, one who is attending high school, the other business college in the States. In 1913 four boys and two girls were graduated. all or whom are continuing their education m high school This year three pupils will likely be graduated from the eighth grade The fourth grade curriculum. of which you speak may refer to some northern points ot which we have no knowledge.
 But a casual observation of the three big schools in Southeastern Alaska would con vince you directly that your information IS incorrect and therefore your judgment warped Is it necessary to tell you that this town is built upon cooperative ideals.
 Nearly every child in the school is stockholder in the mill cannery and store. The function of the school is plaln viz; To train the child for efficient participa- ton in these cooperative activities. In business life, there is more call for the cor rect knowledge of the three Rs than for the subjects which are given in the average high school. Hence these fundamentals are stressed. Space forbids an adequate state ment of the whole work.
 Suffice it to say. that the Hydaburg peo. pie have caught the importance Of the CO., operative mind and they intend to go on

A GOOD PROGRAM

One of the Republican Clubs of Anchorage mas answered tbo roauest of George c. Hazeet for pro gram for Alaskan development for submission to the platfornl committee of the Republican National Com- mttee and has submitted the following: CD Full Territorial form of government with ooaru oi "o- mnisr ration located in Alaska to have charge over the natural resources; f2) early completion of the Government railroad and system of wagon roads and trails; (3) more liberal laws for the develop ment of coal lands; (4) relief for gold mining; to) protection the fisheries; t6) immediate improve ment of mail service CD extension of lighthouse service and aids to navigation; (8) encouragement to pulp industry; (9) repeal of laws for the protec- tion of predatory animals in Alaska
 The program is constructive and one that all parties in Alaska should make a part of their plat forms The Empire is particularly pleased that full Territorial form of government is pu. first, and that coupled with it is an endorsement of the Lane De- veopment Board plan. They are in their proper place

"Full Days Work"
(Columbia RecOrd)

(COIumbia NeCOrd1
 Not many years ago the campaiSn socan of oE1 of the poI,t ical parties was "A full diLncr pail It struck the popular fancy. view of ihe crying need at this time for greater production workingmans d.. nor D. il being full to overf,owirg has either of ttc tw, great parties the courage declare fer "A full days work?''
 it's great organization it's intention of entering poli- tics this year; probably would be affronted at such bold demand, though there should be reason for objection the part of labor to such program.
 If a full days work six days week, were denied the worker, organized labor would make its protest heard
 The country has equal right to demand increased production and that organized labor shall perform it's natural function toward that end Organized in dusry the unorganized public have the right to demand it.
 Labor has it within it's power to bring about cut in commodity prices and to reduce the burden some of living; which cannot be accomplished until labor comes to consider itself part of the whole and will consent to cooperation.
