RELIGIOUS INSTRUCTION

TYR. $. EDWARD YOUNG, of the Bedford DPresbyterian church, Brooklyn, is quite right in saying that there is less spiritual activity in the college life of today than the college life of a previous generation. There is not the same religious tuition and training that once was a compulsory feature of the curriculum. And this curtailment of grace, as it found expression in chapel and in daily class exercises has been detri mental to character-building There can be no doubt of this. The high ideals of a former period may be fostcred, but they are not in sisted upon.
 Learning in this world, and particularly in this country, owes everything to the churcr. There is scarcely an institution, as pr. Young points out, that was not founded and nourished in its infancy by the church.
 In earlier day the president of d university almost certain to be clergyman noted for his pety and culture. It IS not so now. Materia- lism Is not only tolerated it should be-per- haps-but in some schools 1t is encouraged. This should not not be. The student will receive plenty of encouragement of that kind after he receives his diploma.

1t is fair saddle the burden of developing

country. The country is also pioneer country
is in its infancy. If it takes of itself it is
load enough its sparse population. 1t is
bearing practically all the cost of the Territorial
government contributing practically all the money
that is voted of the Territorial treasury roads,
schools other purposes in other sections of the
Territory. The First Division has borne her share OF
these contributions uncompainingly, and if she is
to continue contribute the remainder of the
Territory she would have it done in that way.
There will be complete agreement with Governor
Bone that there should be available $500 600 year
for road building in Alaska Probably that much
should be expended in that great country that is di
recty and indirectly cOntributory to the Alaska Rail-
way And the First Division will all the influence
that she has to induce Congress make the appro-
priation of that or a greater sum from the Federal
treasury direct through the National Highway Act

sanguine supporters and justified every claim and

it over 1t has made history in this part of Alaska
and should prove to be the beginning of era of
increased agricultural activity.
To one of the homesteaders G. J. Dahl, of Spuhn
Island credit is due for the idea. Mr. Dahl last year
harvesting his crops made display locally OF
specimens of some of them and urged that this
year an opportunity be given farmers generally to
exhibit their goods Credit for carrying out the idea,
the deyising and putting into execution of plans
which made the Fair possible belongs to the Juneau
Commercial Association, its Fair Committee and the
manager selected by it, E. NJ Kane. He has devoted
himself without stint to the enterprise, giving I'M
teservedly of his time ana energy for many weeks.
Tie is deserving Of the thanks and gratitude of the
entire community for his unsparing work.
But not all OF tile work of Mr.. Kane and his
committee helpers could have made the Fair the
it had it been without the sympathetic
and understanding support of the themselves.
vitaton by bringing sending exhibits, in nearly
every instance at some personal sacrifice, was the
deciding factor in the outcome
The Fair generally satisfactory to everyone
concerned 1t should be but the first OF many
1t should and probably will become annual insti-
tuition in this community and be the means of bring
