 it's gone,' they cried regretfully, staring at the spot where the yellow rim had appeared to rest; but only a Tightening of the gray clouds re- mained in evidence of the glad fact that the polar night was over. It was 3S below zero. Three months of winter yet remained, but what mat tered that? Their souls had thrilled once again to Gods smile and hope, joy and expectation mingled with the regret on every youthful face.
 Training untutored minds is not a teachers only duty in Alaska. Teacher! There's man hurt in the sawmill. They want you quick pant ed youth one Sabbath day as he reached the lone teachers cabin high above and back of the camp. The teacher stuffed her pockets with bandages and antiseptics and ran down the hill to the spot where soldier lay, the fragments and arter- ies of one arm severed at the wrist, the biceps muscle gouged out and a piece of dirty rope and rusty file fashioned into tourniquet, holding back the life blood with which every thing was stained. Twenty minutes later a long Yukon sled drawn by seven powerful dogs and guided by Q haif-breed who knew the river and it's dangerous condition, carried the wounded man toward the nearest hos pital-seventy-fve miles away. A white miner accompanied them. The going was rough; the surface water on the ice of the river in some places was two feet deep; the ice bent and cracked, but they never stopped un" til sixty miles were covered and a relief sled from the army hospital summoned by another soldier youth who ran ten miles to tap telegraph wire, was met, and after twenty hours of excrutiating agony the hos pital was reached.
 That was the last day of April. Had the accident happened a few days later nothing could have saved the life of the injured man; the ice would have gone, and the breaking ice on the river was the only avail able trail at that time of the year. The half-breed was the best man who dared to make the trip. His Indian mothers power of endurance and knowledge of local conditions, cou- pied with his white fathers intelli- gence and dominant spirit, gave him a high degree of efficiency for such an ordeal.
 Rendering medical aid is part of every teachers sworn duty in the Alaska school service. Government supplies are often the only medicines obtained in cases of grave emergency for whites as we'll as natives
 "A knowledge of law doesn't come amiss at times. In places remote from the jurisdiction of courts, the teacher is frequently the only law gfver of the community as we'll as the only doctor. She is census taker, keeper of vital statistics, arbitrator of quarrels, health officer, peace of ficer, friend and confidant of every one in distress. The teaching of sanitation, hygiene of a practical na- ture, economy, thrift, domestic sci xence suitable to environment, manual training calculated to utilize the products of each particular locality and civics, to fit the natives for future citizenship, are all included in the work of the service
 Each section of the vast territory presents a different problem; each is rich in a different way; each must be settled and self-sustaining in the future"
