In the West End School We have

rooms; in Lee School 900 grammar
grade pupils in (l6) rooms; and IN
Washington School Gil grammar
grade pupils in (ll) rooms, includ-
ing the old Guiding, total Of 224I
grammar grade pupils in (45) rooms.

is 1850 pupils in the 10 rooms.
1t is p.ainly evident from a care
full survey Of the foregoing facts ana
figures that if we are to increase the
efficiency cf our schools. first, as
they relate to the community as
whole,, and, secondly. as they relate
70 the pupils, and the teachers, we
must have more seating capacity. bet
ter surroundings, and better play
grounds.
The statistics furnished by the Sup
erin.enlert of Schools show that IN
laGS-n9 there were 1l2l white pup
lis enrolled in the schools, and that
,nat N 1920-21 there are 227l, an in
crease Of over 100 per cent. Add to
his the further fact that the 1927
census shows that there are 4l09
white children between the ages o.
ami 90 years in the community, and
that cur entire enrolment ct white
children is only 2257. and the absolute
=s;ty for increased seating ac'
commodations becomes glarlngly ap-
parent; and with the increased seat"
ing accommodations necessarily goes

In concluding this report. yo$r com

phasize the fact that the additiona.
seating accommodations secured by
the erection CT this new building, and
the alterations at the other two, viii!
meet the presen. necessities Of the

|'GOVERlNEhF BY HARSAY'
 One of the npost instructive and interesting addresses delivered $ the Third International Mining Con- yentlon ip Portland was that of Falcon Joslin, hhe Weltknown AL aska pioneer operator, who caught the fancy of bis audience when he said that the Territory had hitherto been govArned by "hearsay and that it is time some other method be adopted. Under. the distressing conditions imposed upon the Terri tory in the past eight years, popR- lation has decreased to an alarm ing extent, at least according to government statistics. Those sta' tistios do not contain the informa- tion, howeVer. that ths census is sapiently taken at a time of the year when a great part of the sum- mer population is sojourning "Out. side" and when thousands engaged in the great fishing industry have returned to ports in the United States.
 MT Joslin pointed out that Alas ka now enjoys" government own' ership of telegraph lines, railroads, fur seals and coal mines. with the natural result that all these indus tries are practically dead. The penurious and oppressive policies adopted to regulate the coal and oil industries have been nothing short of dis iraceful. It is time in- deed that Alaska's binders were removed and full opportunity given to development of her great resour' ces upon broad. liberal lines such as contributed SO vastly to the de velopment of western states 1T early days. Paternalism, or, al MT. Joslln puts it. government by hearsay, has brought paralysis ant made an industrial graveyard o one of the richest countries Ol earth. Hearsay government migh not be so disastrous where heariR was acute, but in this instance n wave of sound has filtered througl to dull government intellect, whicl has substituted idle. impractica theories for common sense.- Northwest Mining Truth,
