Of these institutions. This spirit of
fealty to their former schools does
infinite credit to the alumni and their

that makes successful institution.
that carries on beyond school days and

SCHOOL WORK OUTLINED BY
 COMMISSIONER

Lester D. Henderson. commissioner of education for Alaska, who is spending a week in Cordova. out lined a few features in the present and future program of work for the schools Of the territory The follow ing subjects are tO receive special emphasis: scholarship vocational ed uCation and training. attention to the physical development and welfare of pupils and an increased feeling among children that Alaska is home, and among parents that Alaska schools are as good as any.
 He called attention to the fact that in the matter of vocational edu. cation and training, the Alaska schools are not yet up to a desirable standard. Manual training is of fered in schools which repers ent one half the total enrolment for the ter ritOry. sewing in schools represent ing one third the enrolment. while commercial subjects are offered in high school which represent two thirds of the total high school en- rollment for the territory. No work is given along other vocational lines
 In the matter of physical eduCa- tion, the fact was brought out that but one fifth of the children enrolled in the schools of the territory are in communities which provide an ad- equatc gymnasium for indoor games and exercises. Prevention should be the keynote of school activities along the line of physical education.
 Alaska schools excel in scholar ship. as indicated bv standard edu- cational tests which have been giv- en throughout the territory during the past few years and by the rec Ords made by high school graduates who have attended the colleges and universities of the states. Approx imately 50 per cent of Alaska high school graduates are now annually taking up work in the universities and colleges Of the states. With the opening of the Alaska Agricultural College and School of Mines at Fair banks reasonable proportion of these students can be induced to attend this institution.
 Alaska occupies a leading place when compared with the various
The Cordova daily times., 1921-10-05

states in the matter of the train ing and experience of the teachers. Daring the year l92O-2l, 79 per cent of the teachers of Alaska were eth er normal school or college graduates. Of the remaining 2l pr cent, the majority have had more than one years work beyond graduation from high school In the nation as a whole Lut 20 per cent of the teach CTS have had a minimum of two years of work beyond graduation from high school. 9i per cent Of the teachers had had previous teach ing experience before the opening of the l92O.21 school year, while ap- proNimately 60 per cent had had rre- vious experience in Alaska
 During the school year l920-2l, the per capita cost of territorial schools was $1O5.0O0. Montana with per capita cost of between $90 and Sl00 is the only state in which the cost of education can be compared to that in Alaska. However. the indi- vidual taxpayer in Alaska has not yet begun to feel the budren of shool taxation. Residents of the state of Washington must pay ap- proximately four time as much school tax as is paid by residents of the towns of Alaska. per cent of terri torial support is not relatively so due to the size of the school system Al aska schools are now supported by the industries of Alaska rather than hy the individual property owner.
 If the schools are to be cOnsid- , cred as a barometer of business and social conditions in Alaska. the con ditiOn of the territory was never more stable than at the present time. The enrolment of the schools of the territory for the school year 1921-22 will be larger than at any other time in it's history More schools is found in the increased number of high schools and the rel atvely large number of students who are now securing a high school education in Alaska.

A CCEPTED styles in suits are in- A terpreted in. many ways. The art of the tailor is put to the test when he must adapt a mode to the age of his patron and modify it in accord anee. In suits there are those that ex- press the buoYancY of youth, those that convey the spirit and poise of later and fuller life, and those that at test to the dignity, quiet and richness of age. None of these have been al- together left out of the displays, but it is natural that suits for younger wo- men should predominate and two of these are pictured here.
 The suit at the left of the iIlustra- tion is built on youthful lines to start with and is made of d soft cloth "duvet de laine." in brown The box coat, which flares somewhat, has a novel trimming at the bottom of che nile fringe and collar and cuffs of

brown caracul fur. It fastens up the front with odd, oblong buttons. It is ? youthful affair as it is, but a band of fur substituted for the chenille fringe will adapt it to very young women. The shortness of the skirt indicates that it was meant for them.
 The handsome suit at the right made of black suede cloth, is distinct ly matronly. The coat is elaborated by side panels, by variations in it's length and by a rich embroidery of black silk and silver tinsel. It has q modish collar of natural squirrel fur and both the skirt and coat approve the style of longer lines. It would be hard to find anything to excel this in a suit that is distinctive and rich enough for the usual social affairs that interest women. It is just what they need for their clubs, concerts, church entertainments, teas and other in- formal gatherings.

( Misunderstanding Cereal

A MOVEMENT asking congress to A shift burdensome taxes from the
 people to- nonaleoholic beer has been started throughout the country. Congress is urged to have the revenue bill provide for the manufacture and sale of beer containing 2.75 per cent alcohol, and in that way raise from S1 ,o0O. .000. GOO to S1, ,250, ,000,o GOO in taxes, and the proposition is being seriously considered.
 A serious effort has been made to get Prohibitionists to agree to tax of S1O per barrel on 'nonintoNicating cereal beverages containing not more than 2s4 per cent of alcohol by weight"
 The suggested legislation, it Is ar gued, would not violate the spirit of the eighteenth amendment, but in ef- feet amend the Volstead act by kill ing the provision prohibiting the man. sufacture of beer with an alcoholic content in excess of one-half of one per cent. A bill, or an amendment to that effect. will be introduced in the house to be considered when the regu lar revenue bill is taken up.

 It is entirely possible that foreign oil fields, not extensively exploited as yet, will supply the deficit caused by declining production and increasing consumption in the United States for d time.
 "When foreign oils cannot be ob- tained ill sufficient quantities and at reasonable prices we can turn to our oil shales for our supply"
 More than 150 companies have been organized for the purpose of de- yeloping or selling stock in shale oil enterprises. Some apparently are es sentially stock-selling organizations Others have been organizing on a firm basis.
 Large amounts will have to be in- vested before the oil shale industry becomes of commercial importance.

ENGINEERS of the federal reela- IT. nation service have completed q
 preliminary report, based on a hasty tentative survey, on flood pre- vention for the city of Pueblo and the Arkansas river valley. A copy of the report has been received by Secretary of the Interior Fall, and second copy has been sent to the mayor of Pueblo.
 The engineers, James Mum and ]. l.. Savage of the Denver reclamation office, have suggested several different plans and combinations of plans for flood prevention which would entail estimated costs ranging from $9000, 0O0 to $17,500000
 One plan for the Arkansas river calls for flood detention storage of 210,0O0 acre feet with such repairs to present levees and channel as are re quired to provide a safe capacity of 25,o0O second feet through Pueblo.
 Another plan provides for the en-

largement of the channel through Pueblo and for a concrete channel.
 Bank protection is one of four plans suggested for Fountain creek.
 The engineers make it plain that their present recommendations are based on fragmentary data available at this time and that complete study of the problems involved will require much more time and more accurate photographic and topographic data than is now at hand and also much detailed engineering work.
 They found a dearth of accurate top ographic and other essential data on which to base even q preliminary study.
 All the alternative plans which in clude flood detention storage with pos sible use of the Steel Hollow reservoir site, would benefit property interests in the Arkansas valley below Pueblo while the alternative plan embracing only channel enlargement or bank protection through Pueblo would not protect property interests in the val ley below Pueblo.
 Due to the limited storage. possi- bilfties and as a very little, if any water is available for storage in the Arkansas river above Pueblo, there does not appear to be any project of developing irrigation storage with economy in conjunction with flood de- tention storage" reads the report.

 Asked if he favored the repeal of the prohibition law, Professor Selig- man replied:
 'No, sir; although should be glad to see it so interpreted as to permit the sale and the heavy taxation of beer and ligat wines. That would help us out imnensely.'

 Mir. Hays explained why a deficit IS expected this year and gave an item ized statement showing where and how the department plans to reduce operating costs by nearly $l3,00O,00o'
 For the fiscal year ending June 3o, 1920 he said, the deficit was Sl7,- 00O,00O. For the fiscal year ending June 30, 1921, the deficit will be found to be approximately $S4000,OO0 when the reports are all available.

Oil Shale When Our Crude Oil Is Gone

~ L-BEARING shale in the United States is capable of supplying
 all of the country's demands for petroleum when the supply of crude oil is exhausted. This announcement is contained in a report of tle bureau of mines.
 Oil shale up to the present time has not been mined on commercial scale in this country. Since the middle of the last century oil shale mining has been an important origin of oil in Scot land and France.
 Rich and easily accessible deposits of the ol-bearing shale are said to exist in Colorado, Utah, Montana, Ne vada and California, where some shale Iused successfully. Several small re- dNcing plants have been in operation foi2 some time, and others are under coRsfruction near Debeque, Colo. i; Watson, Utah; EllSo, Nev.. and Dillon, Mont.
 Tests indicate that the yield of oil shale is all the way from practically nothing up to ninety gallons or more a ton. Much shale is too thin to be mined commercially, but there are eX- tensive deposits running from several feet to 35 feet in thickness.
 1t is estimated by the geological survey" says the report. that the curve of crude oil production will reach it's peak within a few years, and then the country will have to look more and more to other sources for
