has in the past retarded the growth of many Alaska schools and of Al aska communities
 The present efficiency of the Cor doya schools is to no small extent the result of the splendid work of Mrs. Brady Howard. (nee Keever) and of her associates. both on the faculty and school board, during the three years Of her superinten- denCy. Mir. Goodman. whose term as began with the pres ent school year. is a man who by virture of training, experience, and personality is eminently fitted to dir ect the work of the school and to plan for It's further expansion. The members of the school board are pro pressiye and are interested in the maintenance Of thoroughly ef ficient school The teachers are trained and experienced. and each has a vital interest in the present and future progress and well-being of the children in her care for five or six hours each day. There is every reason for parents and patrons of the school to feel that the year
 will be one of progress.

SCHOOLSOF CITY IN EXCELLENT
 CONDITION

The Cordova schools are in cX- cellent condition. The organization of the work is good, and teachers and pupils in both elementary and high schools are entering upon the years activities in a manner which promises much.
 The high school has now developed to a point where it is an important part of the school system. At pres ent the character of the wC,k offered is such that it can be accredited. This means that students completing any of the subjects will receive full credit for the same in any standard four year high school. It should be the aim of the school board to expand the work of the high school
 with the opening of another school year, by presenting fourth year work. In case this is done an additional high school teacher will need to be employed in order that the school may be accredited.
 With this addition to the teaching staff 1t should be possible to offer elementary work in manual training and domestic science. Space for the conduct of these lines of work could be provided by re modelling and om pleting the excavation of the base
 ment of the school building The cost of this improvement together with the salary Of one additional teacher and the outlay for equip . ment would be nominal but would result in greatly increased efficiency in the schools
 However. if this expansion of the high school is to take place a stu dent body must be assured The /. present enrolment together with the ! natural increase through the pro | motion of the present eigth grade . should provide the necessary number . Of students. If, however. any con siderable number of students are sent to school in the states the high school enrolment will be too small to make possible the maintenance of a standard four years high school.

ACCORDING to paragraph IA of Road
- Ordinance of 4 June 1884.
The Inspection of the general annual
repairs of the public roads with bridges
cUlvers side walls, water-courses, hand
rails etc., etc. shall Coz zee after the
Is February.
All Roadholders are therefore request
ed to have their respective all0tments in
good efficient order by that date.
The repairs are now being carried on
in a very inefficient manner and not ac-
cording to the road regulations, the
trenches are not dug out or cleaned
properly, the roadway is too flat and has
not sufficient crown to shoot off the water,
AMI the road sides in many places are
higher than the centre of the roadway.
The road must have a good high crown
so as to shoot off the Watep@QuickIy and
keep the roadway clean. The trenches
must be dug out and cleaned out proper
ly and the water from same must not be
blocked oil from its natural course but
must have a good outlet so that it may
not soften or effect the road bed.
No stones larger than one and a half
inch must be used in the repairs and the
boundary posts on each allotment muSt
be plainly marked at each end so as TO
d%istinguis il at Inspection, no material
of a soft natur must be used in the
erpairs.
1t is therefore incumbent 0 each road
holder to carry his obligations as pre-
scribed by the Road Ordinance, if not.
the defects found by the Inspection will
be handed tC he Government for further
steps to be taLc0.
The roads mist be kept up to the
requirement of modern traffic, and it
ought to be the duty of every loyal citi-
zen to do his part in this respect.
Good and efficient roads are the first
step forward in good Government and
Civilization on modern lines.

mans, So Gives Them
With Their Beds.

Fifty cot beds on which tired
and hungry, jobless men have been
sleeping these cold nights in the
Stepping Stone established by Ur-
balm Ledoux, were sold at auction
yesterday afternoon at 81 apiece.
With each bed went a man who
was promised a job by DR.. Albert
H. Zimmerman, president of the
Helpers of the Hills Society, the
purchaser of the entire lot Eigh-
teen of the fifty men carried the
cots. to the society's headquarters.
A crowd of the curious in front
of the building at 225 Pennsylvania
avenue was kept on the move by
the police. No disorder marked
any of the proceedings.
Ledoux was forbidden by the DO
lice to auction the services of the
men or the mems bodies. He got
around the problem by selling the
cots, with a man. to each, coupon
fashion. The book at Ledoux'
headquarters shows that forty
three men have secured Jobs in the
last four days through the Stem
ping Stone. Some $500 meals have
been served to the hungry PENN

ITO VASSAR GIRLS
STUDY JOURNALISM
Flock of Reporters for Every
Assignment on College
Paper.

PoUGHKEEPsIE, N. 2, Oct. "a
An epidemic of journalism is spread
ing at Vassar. Young reporters,
armed with pencil and notebook, in
terview every distinguished visitor.
There are ITO of them, all Compel
ing for places on the Miscellany
News. Nothing is secret on the
campus, from a hockey team signal
to a scientific lecture, for the COM
petitors have developed a mighty
curiosity and the group seems to
possess an infallible nose for news.
Miss Adelaide Ames, news editor
of the campus paper, is conducting
the contest. She finds II somewhat
difficult to assign stories to her en-
tire squad. The bobbed hair story
was Miss Amos feature assignment
for this week. A freshman in each
dormitory reported the number Of
bodied heads in her hall, and any
amusing bits of history that led up
to the shearing. Others were sent
to the shops just beyond the campus,
to learn whether the wave of econ
omy prevailing during the endow-
ment fund campaign has cut down
the sale Of sundaes and sport shoes
and silk stockings. Still another
group is studying the length of
skirts at Vassar.
Prof. Berges Johnson, who teaches
journalism at the college, Is an in
terested observer of Miss Amos
methods. she has more work than
many of the Instructors" he said.
With the papers Of 40 contestants
to look over, and the job Of think
ing up assignments for them, she
will be thoroughly occupied until
Thanksgiving. Everything proceeds
easily. however. and Miss Ames
finds the contest great fun. The
freshmen do all our proofreading
for US, and beg for IT," she said.
