JOHN BARRYMORE IS
 CAST IN DUAL ROLE
 AT EMPRESS TONIGHT

Dr. Jekyll and MT. Hyde" as played by Richard Mansfield has held front rank among the great dramas of the stage.
 And now Robert Louis Stevenson's famous novel has been adapted for the screen and, played by John Bar rymore, foremost dramatic actor of the silver sheet, ranks one of the greatest picture sensations one of the greatest picture sensations, one of the acting ever produced.
 Never before has the screen shown more marvellous acting than is done by Mir. Barrymore in this unique dual role. On the one side, Dr. Jekyll with face of classic beauty, grace of move ment, high ideals, brilliant, belived by all, "a wonderful fellow" as his friends agreed. And on the other side, Mir. Hyde, the incarnation of physical, mental and spiritual de- formity. Yet both the same man, changed from one semblance to the other by use of a secret drug which the scientist Jekyll discovered.
 "Dr. Jekyll and MT. Hyde" is a drama that for all time amazes, horri- fies, fascinates, enthralls. Wonder fully beautiful, indescribably awful. Adfectives fail, and words refuse to convey the vivid, vitally powerful pic tured story of this fight to the death between the good and evil of mans soul.
 "Dr. Jeky1l and MT. Hyde" will be featured tonight and tomorrow night at the Empress.

OPPOSES IDEA CLOSING INDIAN SCHOOL BUREAU

That abolishment of the bureau of education schools for natives in Alas ka as planned by Charles w. Hawkes. worth, superintendent for the bureau of education in southeastern Alaska, will not necessarily throw the terri torial schools open to all native chill dren is the opinion expressed by l.. D. Henderson, commissioner of educa- ton for Alaska. He is of the opinion that incorporated towns can, if they wish establish separate schools for native children if it is decided that the towns are responsible for their education.
 Mir Henderson declares it is not a question of race but of non-conformity of one people with the standards Of another. He agree with MT. Hawkes.. worth that in time the process of de- velopment will place the native on an equal citizenship plane but states that such development is necessarily the product of long time, ultimate ac- complishment the fruit of generations of endeavor In a statement given | to the press, Mir Henderson said: NO NEW SITUATION
 "Mr Hawkesworth' statement that tfe bureau of education will discon, tinue the work of the native schol at Wrangell at the conclusion of the present school year and that he has I informed the Wrangelf school board of this proposed action does not create any new situation in so far as the l schools of the territory are concerned Neither does the elimination of the native school in that community mean that the doors of the public school must be thrown open to receive all native children residing within the corporate limits of Wrangell.
 Many of the incorporated towns of
 Alaska having native population are without special schools for ma tives. This is true of Cordova, Ket chikan, Petersburg, Anchorage, Val dez and Fairbanks. At the same time natives are not given unrestricted en trance to public schools in these com munities.
 That the territory is at present bearing a heavy burden in so far as the education of the native popu l lation of Alaska is concerned is, how l ever true. During the school year 1919-1920, approximately $90,000 was 1 expended for the education of the 921 children of native blood enrolled in the public schools. Of the tota number of native children enrolled il the public schools more than 80 pel cent attend the so-called Nelson schools which are schools in commun ities situated outside of incorporated 1 towns The federal government
 should recompense the territory fol this expenditure.
 1 COORDINATION PROBLEM
 Where two distinct races of peo
 pie are thrown together the problem of their social coordination is usually
 present. This problem becomes more difficult of solution as the number O
 generations of culture and civilization
 which separates the races increases There are three things which at pres ent stand in the way of unified sys tenn of education in Alaska.
 "G The economic status an( hereditary tendencies of the native which render it exceedingly difficult
 for him to conform to the standards

of the territorial schools in the mat ter of regularity and punctuality of at- tendance. A compulsory education law would without doubt remedy this matter to some extent but not to the degree which would be necessary if the general good of the majority of the pupils is made the chief concern of the schools
 "(2) The prevalence of infectious diseases among the native population in a great many communities.
 Medical inspection and the work of the health officers would do some thing toward remedying the condi- tions set forth in the two foregoing paragraphs but could be no substitute for what is really needed before the native can be placed on the same plane as the white race, namely, gen erations of time in which to continue the development already begun.
 SEGREGATION ESSENTIAL
 "The question in my mind is not of race but is whether or not the native can conform to the neces- sary standards. The determining fac tors in any solution of the problem should be the highest good of the greatest number. From this stand point segregation of the white race seems necessary.
 fJohn Barton Payne, secretary of the department of the interior has this to say regarding the American Indian ITO place all Indians on plane of business equality with the whites will take generations, and those good people who by legislation unduly hasten this period and thrust the responsibility upon the Indian of dealing with the white men before he Is able to do so are doing the Indian serious injury
 There is considerable difference of opinion as to the legal status of the Alaska native. Should it be decided definitely that incorporated towns are responsible for the education of Alas ka natives who reside within the cor porate limits, then one possible solu- tion of the problem would be the maintenance by the incorporated towns of separate school for na- tives until such time as the continued progress of the native makes this ac- tion unnecessary"

League Of Nations who believe it to be
the proper organization to handle all
questions which will be discussed at
Washington show deep interest. AL
though they regard the league as firmly
established, they think the Washington
conference will help in it's development
by experimenting the leagues work.
Aside from these views, there is an
other strong reason why not only
Brtons. but Europeans generally, have
profound interest in the success of the
Washington conference. Europe's eco.
nomic condition is decidedly bad. I'm
employment is becoming an extremely
serious problem in this and other coun-
tries, including Italy and France.
Taxation is at an overpowering rate
and experts see no hope until it is re-
duced and exchanges are stabilized.
Economy Made Possible
No material reductions are possible
unless fundamental changes of policy
are made. Washington offers nm OPP
portunity for the nations to come to
an agreement whereby they can reduce
their yearly budgets by many millions
and all classes recognize the desir-
ability Of such move. Many ques-
tons affecting labor are bound to arise
in the armament discussions and for
that reason the trades unions are
anxious to have q labor representative
on the British delegation.

Answers were made yesterday by
burglary insurance men to the letter
written by Mayor Hylan to Commits

directing the commissioner to turn his
powers of inquiry into the way the
companies got their business.
In thus instructing his Commission

extensively that he had been informed
that "crime waves" were nothing more
nor less than press agents propaganda.
People got scared, he said to Mr.
Hirshfield, when they read about rob-
berries, and naturally rushed to the
burglar insurance people to get their
goods insured.
One of the best known men in bur-

said. las regards the insurance COM

"The Mayor says the companies do
not investigate risks in order to see
that people are not over-insured In
this the Mayor is very far from accur-

great deal of money in their inspection
services and in securing through COM

reports on the character and standing
of applicants for insurance.
"In fact, the trouble with the bur

most people are not overinsured, but
under~insured, so that the companies
do not secure fair amount of insur-
ance in proportion to the values ex-
posed to loss"

 The Junior reading contest came first with Misses Bonnie Reeder, Elizabeth Reaves. Jeanette Mckenzie. Evelyn Walloch, Florence Logan and Vivian Giles on the program.
 These young ladies displayed wonder ful talent, and it would have been diff ficult for us to pass judgment, for each of the contestants did extremely well.
 Miss Jeanette Mckenzie, however, was pronounced the winner. Miss Hel- en McRae was declared winner in the music (piano) contest, rendering some clever selections Master Judson Bush won the Reclamation contest over Chip ley Duke, Horace Bemis, and Leonard Wilson. Judson's subject was. the "Dea thbed of Benedict Arnold which the youthful orator handled with all the grace of an "old timer" The other boys acquitted themselves with great credit. however and received the judges decision without a sign or murmer of complaint. James Lowery won the con- test in Arithmetic over worthy com petitors. showing remarkable speed and accuracy in addition.
