RELIEF CAMPAIGN is BEING
PLANNED FOR EUROPEAN
JEWS

A meeting of about twenty per-
sons interested in the relief of Jew
ish people suffering from the war
and it's after affects in Eastern Eu-
rope was held last Sunday morning,
at the Aleph Beth Clubroom, st.
Paul Hotel. Mr.. j. Nebelov, of New
York City, representing the general
relief organization headquarters,
spoke of the greater necessity for
relief work at this time, than at any
other. Investigators who have just
returned from Russia and Ukrainia,
have reported that at least S 1,0OO,-
600 month will be needed merely
to provide sufficient food for the
Jewish population to keep alive on.
The question of conducting the st.
Paul campaign during the Yom
Kippur services in all the synagogues
and temples was discussed, and was
referred to a larger conference to
be held later in the week, for the
purpose of organizing a united cam
paign throughout the city. The con-
ference had not yet been held at the
date of publication of this issue.

FOREST MAN PLEASED
 WITH HIGHWAY WORK

The Glacier hoghway, between Ju- neau and Aux bay, will be a great attraction for tourists visiting Alas ka, in the opinion of P. H. Dater. district engineer of the forest serv- ice.
 MT. Dater is in Alaska for the purpose of examining road work be- ing done with forest service funds. He expressed pleasure with the work and the progress made
 MT. Dater has been in Alaska sev- eral weeks from his Portland head quarters and has examined all the road work being done under the Jurisdiction of his department. He also visited several water power pro- jects near Ketchikan and is of the opinion that the time has come when pulp and paper will be made in commercial quantities in the terri tory.

GOLD RUSH PIONEER
 CROSSES GREAT DIVIDE

John W Mcdonald, pioneer resi- dent of Seattle and one of the first men in the Dawson and Nome gold rushes, died recently at his home in Seattle
 MT Mcdonald was born in Jack. sonville, Ore, noted in the early days of Oregon as a mining and frontier town. When two years old he went to Seattle with his parents John and Mary Mcdonald, and was raised in that city. The Mcdonald home was near Pioneer Square. When the Dawson rush started he was one of the first men to reach the Klondike camp and engaged in business there. A few years later he was in the vanguard rush to Nome and was in business in that town for many years. About ten years ago he went to the states to spend his remaining days and made his home at Newport.
 He is survived by the widow, Mrs. Louise Mcdonald and two brothers, H. c. and E. E. Mcdonald of Seat tie. A number of nephews and nieces also survive him.

 "A cooperative road project, simi- lar to that for the construction of q road up the Salmon river, is under construction between Ketchikan and Wards Cove
 The road will be nine miles long, and three miles have already been constructed. The project has progressed to a stage wherein it is hoped and believed that the ter ritory may be able to further CO., operate with the secretary of agri- culture next season sufficiently to bring the work to completion From my inspection of the road work I am very much pleased with the prog ress that is being made and the roads which have thus far been constructed"

MUCH PLEASED WITH ROADS IN
 RYDER REGION

After spending ten days in the vi, cinity of Ketchikan and Hyder, dur ing which time he inspected the road work on the Salmon river and from Ketchikan to Wards Cove, now in progress under the supervision of the bureau of public roads, R. J. Sommers, surveyor general and sec retary for the territory of Alaska, has returned to Juneau.
 The inspection of the roadwork by MT. Sommers, is the result of the cooperate entered into by the ter ritory and the secretary of agricul- ture for the forestry service, under the supervision of the bureau of pub construction of a road up the Salmon river, in which the aggregate of ap- propriation amounted to $7O,0O0 Of this amount the territory allotted $20,000 and the secretary of agricul- ture, on behalf of the forestry serv. ice, allotted $5O,000.
 At the present time about two- thirds of the appropriation has been expended" said MT. Sommers, in an interview on his return. "A right of way has been cleared through the timbered section of the country, and a reasonably good wagon road has been built for about nine miles along the Salmon river to the mouth of Texas creek At ths point a pack bridge will be constructed across the salmon river and next year a pack trail will be built along Texas creek making possible greater development of the country on the American side. and of the Hyder mineral belt, in which is located the famous Premier mine.

Very promising prospects will be developed to such an extent as will prove them to be valuable mines. Fish creek is seven miles from Hyder, in American ter

N. (. co. MAY DISPOSE
 OF STORES ON YUKON

Announcement is made from San Francisco that the Northern Com mercial Company will close out its Alaska business interests and the company be dissolved. The com pany may be able to close it's af, fairs by 1922.
 Men familiar With the affairs of the Northern Commercial Com. pany say that four of the larger sta. tions in the north will brirg g good price, St. Michaels and Kuskokwim are among these stations Several of the other stations will probably go completely out of business as the overhead is so heavy in comparison to that of small competitors. At the Fairbanks store it is claimed the overhead is 20 per cent.
 The Northern Commercial Com pany two years ago disposed of the lower river fleet to the White Pass railroad interests, confining activi- tis to merchandising. Owing to pe- culiar conditions affecting markets, the company was forced this fall to ship merchandise north for the next nine months purchased at the crest of the market. All stock left over on the opening of navigation will probably have to compete with goods purchased at greatly reduced fig ures.

bandits came down to the edge Of the
city as soon as the British soldiers
were out of sight. The native people
sent representatives to meet the Kurd
leaders and with the representatives
was sprinkling of American Relief
workers who spoke the language of
the country. The residents of Kars
told the Kurds what the American
army would do if they invaded the
town with apparently little impress
sion, then American bluff got in its
work.
Representatives of the relief work
ers told the Kurd leaders that the
refugees of Kars were being cared
for by the American people and that
the United States would probably
punish the Kurds if they dared to
interfere with the relief work. Thus
American shirt sleeve" diplomacy,
backed up only by few rifles and
pistols carried by the relief workers
for personal protection, saved sever
al thousand Armenians from robbery
and massacre.
At present, DR.. MacGeehon reports,
there are 1000 children being cared
for at Near East Relief orphanage
and in addition to this aid is being
given to an Armenian orghanage
which shelters 1000 homeless little
ones. The Near East Relief also
maintains a 200-bed hospital in the
city and has an industrial home for
women which is giving work to 800
persons. There are now 100000
Armenians living in the Armenian
republic and 100000 refugees from
Turkish Armenia concentrated in the
large cities. The latter are unable
to get back to their homes until such
time as a stable government has been
established.
DIR. MacGeehon reports that at
present the people are solely depen-
dent on the generosity of America
for food. No crops have been raised
for four years and this is the first
time the farmers of the country have
been able to sow grain for the COM
ing harvest. Thus if relief work is
continued until Sept. /, it is believed
the people will be able to care for
themselves sufficiently so that di-
rect relief work can be withdrawn.
Enough food can be raised during the
coming spring and summer not only
to feed the people but also to give
the government a chance to provide
for the 100000 orphans which Near
East Relief now hopes to feed until
that time.

AMERICAN BLUFF
AVERTS DISASTER

How few Americans, dressed in
the uniform of the Near East Relief,
which is quite similar to the Ameri-
can army uniform, kept back an en-
tire Kurd army and saved the peo-
pie of Kars from massacre has been
told by DR.. S. e. MacGeehon, who
has just returned from Western AS
ia. where he was with the Near East
Relief, / Madison ave., New York
City. DR.. MacGeehon's home is IN
Southampton, Mass, and he went to
Turkey early last Spring. He was in
Kars from March until November.
When the British army withdrew
from that city the Americans were
warned that it would be best for them
to leave the city also. Thousands of
refugees who were being cared for
by the Near East Relief said if the
Americans left they would go also
for they felt it better to again take
up their wanderings than to be left
alone at the mercy of the semi-bar-
barious Kurdish hordes whom they
expected would at once swoop down
upon the city.
The American Relief workers there
upon announced that they would re-
main in the city and care for the
people. AS expected, the Kurdish

THE INTERCHURCH WORLD
MOVEMENT CAMPAIGN

The greatest financial drive in the
history of the world for any charit
able, philanthropic or religions pro
gram will be staged in America from
April 81 to May 2, when 81 100000
900 will be sought to carry the mes
sage of evangelical Christianity
around the world, this amount being
the budget for five years. Forty-two
of the leading Protestant denomina-
tions of the nation, representing
many millions of members, in con-
vention at Atlantic City during the
first week of the new year, voted for
united movement that is expected
to mark new epoch for Christian
civilization.
The campaign for raising the funds
that will send thousands of college
bred young men and women to the
farthest points of the globe to serve
as teachers, medical missionaries,
nurses, preachers and social workers,
and place other thousands at work
in institutional churches, social set
Elements, churches, colleges, and 9th
er fields of service in the cities and
country of America, will be organic
ed on so vast a scale that it will
be comparable to one of the wartime
Liberty Loan drives. The money
will be raised to cover all of the home
and foreign missionary activities OF
the various denominations included
for period of five years.
The Interchurch World movement
already has accomplished a vast or
ganization, and is making prepare
tions to acquaint the 100000 peo-
pie of America through newspaper
articles and advertising, moving pic
lures, billboard posters, minute men,
and other methods of publicity, with
the meaning of the movement. Con-
ventions of pastors and laymen are
co be held in every state. College
men are being enlisted, and every
agency possible will be secured to
help put across the great financial
drive and the missionary effort to
follow. The Interchurch Movement
means the Protestant churches Oh
America in cooperative action to car
nv the benefit of Christianity to the
whole world.

alton for life in a fuller and larger
measure.
The aim or the modern school is
to develop initiative, good judgment,
and right attitude towards ones fell
lows (good willy.
The aim also includes knowledge Of a
type useful in meeting life situations
and skill in performance, either ply
steal or mental. In the mental SIDE
this involves the comprehension and
use of the fundamentals Of scientific
and historical methods. A modern
lied education is an education in do
ing as well as in knowing; it is an ed
ucation that takes account of the in
dividual differences and needs Of pu-
pills.
To develop initiative pupils must
be given opportunity to initiate; to
cultivate good will requires active
cooperation with others; to develop
skill of any sort involves activity I'M
der proper guidance. A good school
is an active school, but its activity
is not lawless or disorderly. In it's
activity it is economic, intensive, joy
Gus. AS actualities such schools are
not numerous, but the spirit is abroad
in the educational world and is bring
ing forth fruit, often in the most I'M
expected places.
The task of making over our teach
ers, who were themselves in many
cases badly taught and badly trained;
the converting of the public to the
new way of viewing schools; the
training of pupils in self-control and
orderly behavior with minimum of
the old type of Discipline is difficult in
the extreem, and requires superin-
tendents and teachers of marked abil-
ity. But if we wish to fit the young
people to live in a democracy, the
schools must be democraticed-not
one here and there but all of them.
This does not mean that school is
to be modelled on the Soviet. Dem.
ocracy has it's laws and it's officers
of the law. Neither does it mean
putting upon children duties and re-
sponsibilities beyond their years and
their training, or permitting child
rem to "run" the school.
The high schools are rousing them
selves and overturning traditions and
presidents. The cake of custom is
broken and we are entering a, per-
iod of discussion and experiment.
Unfortunately the dead hand Of col
lege and university conservatism is
still upon the high. schools. Indeed
there seems to be a recrudescense of
university domination just now as the
schools are about to move forward
in constructive ways and in intelli-
gent experimentation. Some tempo
rary loss Of efficiency must always
be expected even in passing from the
old and outworn to the newer and
better and the opposition of the ex-
tremely conservative element in So
ciety may be counted upon to make
the most of these losses in their ar
guments for the perpetuation Of the
old and familiar to which they are
welded.

SOME MODERN TENDENCIES

There never was a time when there
was a greater tendency to study ed
ucation in a thoroughgoing and sci
entific way than now, and never
time when there was greater zeal for
improvement. Despite the conserva-
tism that characterizes many school
men of the older generation and de
spite the youthfulness and poor train
ing of the rank and file of teachers
the country over, there is plainly
discernable new spirit, new meth
cd, and new ideal in education.
The new spirit is the democratic
spirit as over against the spirit Of
benevolent despotism that has in the
past characterized most schools. In
that mild autocracy, the old time
school, the teacher was a very con-
spicious part of the school. She made
at least she administered, the rules
of the school. She assigned the tasks.
She tested her pupils to see if they
had mastered the tasks assigned, and
she saw to it that there was order II.
the schoolroom. In the main, the
business of the pupil was to keep
quiet, learn his lesson, and speak
when he was spoken to. Ii he did
not memorize his lesson, or If he did
not obey strictly and promptly, he
was punished. Doubtless, good was
accomplished by such schools and Of
ten a genuinely democratic spirit pre-
vailed. This, however was due to
the characteristics of the individual
teacher rather than to the general
plan and spirit of the system.
The new method of the schools is
a cooperative method under which
pupils take an active and important
part in the recitation and in the var
ious exercises and functions of the
the school. The socialized recitation
may be mentioned in this connection.
In this form of school exercise the
pupils ask questions of one another.
They help to conduct the exercise,
while the teacher is at hand to give
help and direction whenever necess-
airy. When the democratic spirit
prevails as it should, pupils learn to
think of the school as their school;
whereas under autocratic manage
ment they naturally look upon it as
the teachers school.
The new ideal. of the school is the
fitting of our youth to enter into re-
ciprocal and cooperative relations
with their fellow men in an intelli-
gent manner The ideal in the past,
at least in the city schools, has been
the fitting of pupils to do the work
of the next grade or to be promoted
into the next higher school. To grad
uate seemed to be the purpose and
motive of our pupils rather than
living or preparing for life. The
seventh grade must prepare for the
eighth, and the eighth for the first
year of high school; the high school
for college or university. The new
ideal motivates the work differently.
The school is a part of life-is life;
the school is also a constant prepar-
