amount and TO supply current at the
rate of Is cents a kilowatt hour. The
minimum is TO be $50 a month pro.

AN AMERICAN TARIFF.

With President Harding's approval of the
Fordney-McCom tariff bill, needed legisla-
ton. whose working out was necessarily diff
cult, reaches successful conclusion. The new
tariff law may not be perfect, but it more nearly
meets requirements for scientific apportionment
of duties than any protective legislation ever
enacted by an American congress on this sub
ject. It's passage through the two houses may
seem to have been long, but time was necessary
to attain the desired degree of protective eff
ficiency. 1t may not include every interest
that might be bettered by protection. but it
comes nearer to being an "all-American" tariff
bill than any Of those preceding it.
For the first time in history agricultural in
terests figure large in the protective schedules.
The farmer, who under previous tariff laws
has TO a certain extent been left out in the cold.
is by this measure afforded substantial protec-
ton. The schedules of this law have been pre-
pared with a view to extending protection where
it is needed-and without respect to section or
the political complexion of sections affected.
A notable feature of the bill is the provision
for elasticity. Realizing that changing condi-
tons relative to cost of production at home
and abroad might necssitate changes in rates
if protection is to be kept at propr points
makers wrote into it terms providing for deter
mination of the need for such changes and their
effecuation by the executive. This flexibility
is essential to the scientific application of tar
if and is to be listed as a long stride forward
in protection.
The enactment of this legislation clears the
way along one of the widest avenues leading to
increased prosperity. With industry and trade
definitely assured as to the protection to be ex-
tended, business activities will surely find slim

THE CROWDED CLASSROOM.

The Alaska Agricultural College and School
of Mines is to be congratulated on starting what
it is hoped. will prove a long and successful ca
reer. 1t has six students and six instructors.
To have an instructor for each student is the as
piration of every true educator, although condi-
tons have seldom allowed it to be realized. The
aim, however, has sometimes been attained, and
always with excellent results. When perfection
can not be reached, something less has to be ac-
cepted. It is in an endeavor to get as near the
ideal as possible that the best professors in the
best and highest institutions of learning limit
the number of students permitted to follow their
courses. This. too. is one of the reasons why
postgraduate classes in most univerities are so
small.
It is not to be expected, of course. that the
happy situation in Alaska will be of any great
duration. AS a matter of fact, while it is init
mated that more students have made arrange
ments to enter and that miners all over Alaska,
wish to take instruction as soon as their work
at home closes, there is no mention of any in
crease in the professional staff. If the author
tiles are wise, they will take pains to see to it
that none of their teachers is overburdened
with large classes. The crowding of class
rooms in primary schools, high schools and col
leges is one of the worst educational scandals
existing at the present day. When pupils are
too numerous, it is impossible for any of them
of them so badly needs. There will be no real
soundness in education until the evil of Amor
mally large classes is abolished.

Constantinople learns that the Kenalists are willing to accept the principle of neutrality of the straits pending the armistice conference. which General liar ington proposed should be held at Muda- mia or Ismid. Apparently therefore Kemai Pasha is ready to participate in such conference, and this implies that the position Is much eased.
 General Harrington continues to act with the utmost prudence and modera- tion He prevented an Imminent collison of the opposing forces in the Chanak area by a wireless order to General Shuttle worth to suspend an attack, and, accord ing to information available here, the government has given him complete free and clearly does not desire to press mat ters.
 M. Franklin Bouiilon. the French en- voy, is expected to reach Smyrna to-
 morrow morning and 1t is beievec that until he has seen Kemal Pasha there will be no military move of importance. Unofficial reports assert that Kemal will declare the allied conditions for a peace conference unacceptable and in- sist upon tYe use of the straits for the transport of his troops to Thrace before consenting to enter such conference. Both British and Turks are concentrat- ing large forces on the Isnlid and Chanak lines. The British fleet on the spot now consists of six dreadnaughts, seven bat ,, tle-cruisers and twenty destroyers. while the land forces, which are continually being increased, already amount to 3o,- 900 men.
